Don't attack the left-wing posters on this board over Las Vegas.

Seriously, we all disagree about a lot of shite, but the folks on the left who post on this board did not do this, and would never committ this heinous crime.

While we all may disagree over shite, everyone is still coming on the board one way or another to talk things out.

To constantly try and put blame on a group because of what a nutjob did only continues to divide. Let the nation mourn, and do not jump straight into political bullshite.

You might say well if it was a right wing nut job the left would be all over it. Maybe, but that doesn't make it right ether. Don't alienate some posters on the board who disagree with you politically when they surely feel as badly as you do about what happened in Las Vegas.

I blame them (the left, not any specific poster) and their hateful ideology, but not as much as I blame the media

I understand the sentiment, but today will be a day of frothing at the mouth for some.

Never let a tragedy go to waste.

1. We do not know motive.

2. In regards to this:

I disagree.

The only way to address the use of a debate tactic by one side is to use the same action against them.

Holding yourself to a standard that your opponent does not hold themselves to is only hamstringing you.

Let's not pretend that the left and the media wouldn't be doing the exact same thing.

Doesn't make it right, tho.

Sure I have. And I stopped a few years ago when I realized that the "news" and rhetoric they display is good for nothing.

These things will always be politicized in the current environment. This thread is equivalent to politely asking a fire not to burn. It's simply impossible.

Can you imagine how intolerable things would be had 9/11 occurred in today's climate?

The time for polite discourse with anyone who supports anything leftist is over. They have declared war and hoping to be eaten last is not a survival strategy.

Time to take no prisoners. The left can either immediately and unmistakably and clearly call out all the BS like ANTIFA, stars calling for violence, etc or frick them...

Some of them advocated shutting down Ann Coulter and her right to free speech. They supported the violent protests against that "lying bitch". This kind of rhetoric is the problem. The support of these types of violent protests is the problem. Not all of them supported it but enough did.

You can't separate violence into acceptable and unacceptable columns. When you support violence on a small scale or for a "good reason" then you have to own it when it gets out of hand.

How long after the Michael Brown justified shooting did POTUS O come out with his "guilty of walking while black" comment?

I'm not a lefty; I voted to MAGA all the way last November. That is beside the point here though.
