People on a message board don't equate to dem politicians, media, Hollywood figures calling for harassment, ridicule, and sometimes violence of people they disagree with. You might have a couple jackasses on here saying that stuff will lead to a civil war but our leaders aren t bendning the knee and capitulating to far right BS like dem leaders capitualte to the far left BS and you know it.

The NPR is who was jacking off Flake for saying he wants Trump's interpreter questioned.

Again, calling for violence everyday high fiving and celebrating the slow creep towards hinting at shooting people and then hiding behind the “we’re just a message board” shtick is bullshite. There’s enough enabling here to seriously get some people hurt, some of you are absolutely insane. The problem is that the more normal ones are the ones who don’t think anyone is THAT serious about it, but that’s how it starts. Now everyone thinks the pizza place shooter was actually someone on the left so who gives a shite about facts anymore when you’re just gonna deny it and make shite up.

No it’s not “it may lead” it’s straight up hoping. “Can’t wait” and “I’m stocking up on bullets” are tossed around a lot, whether you think that’s hyperbole or not can be up for debate I suppose

Same here.

Problem is, as usual, Congress.

What do you think your link has proven?

Here, I have another article for you to read:

2017 - number of officers killed hits 2nd lowest in almost 50 years

And it's a near certainty that there is zero proof that it's "the left" that is killing them when they are killed.

Bro you can't equate message board posters to dem leaders and media no matter how hard you try. Yes there are intolerant and violent people on our side too but our leaders arent bending the knee and pandering to them like leftist leaders are. A few people on a message board is not the same as Democrat politicians encouraging the far left to do what they do. And if you think it is go over to DU. Their posts are far more radical and intolerant than anyone's posts here.

Okay contrarian you're just looking for an argument with those points. I'm not going to give it to you. You know what you're saying is disingenuous and ignores all the surrounding factors of leftist protests and radical rhetoric that all cops are racist and out killing blacks because they are black. You're right, that has nothing to do with leftists.

I dunno how much further radical you can get past calling for killing Americans because you disagree with them. If you want to say they call for it too then fine, but we’re back to square one with y’all neck and neck

You keep ignoring that leftist leaders pander to the radicals while conservative leaders don't. You're being disingenuous. That's not neck and neck.

Wait you don’t think the right panders to the radicals on their side?

I think we’re hitting the issue here now.

No, we don't. Certainly not to the same extent. Our leaders arent propping up the KKK like your leaders do with antifa. What Republican leaders are telling people to go out and harass democrats like Maxine waters and Hollywood leaders have?

Nice. Take your own conclusion as a priori fact (despite lack of evidence) and then accuse the OTHER GUY of just "looking for an argument". Classic Alinsky tactic. Carry on, comrade.

Does this mean the next time someone tells us how moderate, bi-partisan, and un-biased NPR is, we can remind them of this, and tell them to STFU?

And yet the guy who actually tried to take out the entire Republican congress was a leftist.

BLM is hardly an "org" to begin with. But sure, the average person who would identify as "BLM" is likely left-leaning.

Did cops not get killed at BLM rallies?


To take the 2016 Dallas shootings as an example, yes, there was a peaceful march/protest against police killings. At the end of it, a crazy military vet killed those poor officers. It was absolutely not in the name of "BLM".

Just a question: how would you characterize the situation where the right wing scumbag drove the car through the crowd in Charlottesville and killed the young woman? Was that proof that "the right" is engaged in political killings?

Just admit it: there aren't that many police killings to begin with; and the ones that do happen cannot be distilled simply into a talking point of "the left is killing police officers". In fact - if anything - it's the reverse of what you claim:

quote:

Between 2011 and 2017, there were 11 officers killed by right-wing extremist groups compared to those eight officers killed by left-wing groups, according to ADL. That’s a much narrower gap than in the previous two decades: From 2001-2010, right-wing extremists killed 24 officers while those on the left killed two, and from 1991-2000 the figures were 16 and one, respectively.


I trust that back in 2010, you were out in the streets howling about the right killing police at a 12:1 ratio to their leftist colleagues?

Why is NPR even a thing in the current year of 2018. Like unions, publicly supported media and arts are relics of older time.
