re: Is de Blasio really this clueless??

quote:

The fact that people like Reid, Pelosi, Obama, Debozo.....and the list goes on and on get enough votes to get elected is scarier than the people themselves. The ignorance is off the scale.

it goes both ways

same could be said about most republicans as well

He reminds me of the dimwit Obama!!!

De Blasio is a liberal which of course means he is a leftist ideologue like the prez.
As with all liberals truth is relative since they don't believe in absolutes so right and wrong-doing is also relative.
The head liberal himself the prez stated that he doesn't believe in absolutes, doesn't believe in an absolute right or wrong.
This is the liberal mindset and why BO claiming to be a christian is fairly ridiculous since you can't be a christian and then state there are no absolutes, (ok vegasdummbass his muslim father choose not one but two muslim prophets for his name you know), and this is why liberals in this country support muslims and try to destroy christians.
As you know Christianity has absolute representations but since Islam has two standards of behavior, one toward fellow muslims and another toward non muslims, the behaviour is relative; an act against a fellow muslim that would be criminal behaviour would not be against a non-muslim.

But getting back to de Blasio, he isn't a dimwit, or unaware; he is following liberalism's standard of truth. Which is this: truth is whatever you can convince someone to believe.

No, he's very clued in to his voters. Yes shoring up his support amongst the "stick it to the Man" types who elected him. Whether we like it or not, they are probably very appreciative of his recent actions.

The fricking cynical victim industry let one of their lackeys get unruly and now they are scrambling to cover their asses.

Yeah, you nailed it. That is why CNN is pushing, "well the killer was insane" narrative.
Anyone with any sense knows if the killer had even passed by a Tea Party protest CNN would be busily linking his act as a product of the Tea Party ideology.

Plainly the truth is Liberals don't like cops, christians, or the military, and any time they get the whiff of a chance to condemn any of these groups they really detest, they will.

By the way, are we beginning to see an awareness of this and a coming break between this powerful national public union, the police union, and their traditional support of the Dem party since Libs are the Dem party.

I don't tell you who you like or hate, please refrain from telling me who I like and hate. It's quite presumptuous, elitist and downright ignorant.

Thanks in advance.

de Blasio blaming the media coverag

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Don't feel sorry for you, bud.

Just saw the video of de Blasio blaming the media coverage for the shooting of the NYPD Officers

---

That's not what he said.

This is what he said:

quote:

---

We've talked about this so many times. I'm going to talk about it again. And now the question is, what are you guys going to do? What are you guys going to do? Are you going to keep dividing us? I'm not talking about every single one of you, but let's get real. Just in that question - 25,000 people marched down one of our streets a few days back, absolutely peaceful, no chants like that, peacefully calling for what they believed in as American citizens, and the NYPD protected them….What you manage to do is pull up the few who do not represent the majority, who are saying unacceptable things, who shouldn't be saying those things, and they - some who actually physically attack police officers, which I've said is absolutely unacceptable.
So, yes, there are some bad people who say inappropriate things. There are some people who say hateful things. They have no place in these protests. They are not what I'm talking about. I am talking about - excuse me - I am talking about the vast majority of New Yorkers, like the vast majority of Americans, who believe in peaceful democratic process….That's how you want to portray the world, but we know a different reality. There are some people who do that. It's wrong. It's wrong. They shouldn't do that. It's immoral, it's wrong, it's nasty, it's negative - they should not do that, but they, my friend, are not the majority. Stop portraying them as the majority.

---

He's obviously not blaming the shooting on the media. He's saying that the media is dividing the sides by focusing too much on the minority of people who are using extreme rhetoric, when the majority of people have been civil and peaceful. He has a good point.

Now, de Blasio has antagonized the police on several fronts. His comments about his son

Comments that were completely fair and cognizant of reality.

meeting with protestors,

What is wrong with meeting with protesters?

and the son of an aide referring to police as pigs.

That's somehow De Blasio's fault?

Do you have any control over what your coworkers' children say?

Between this and the horse carriages, they really fricking hate this guy

I live here and I don't get this impression at all.
