    When was that?

    How about a little modern context?

    Jesus.

    Its not racist and never was

    The back to africa movement began before the civil war led by white liberals and freed black slaves

    I'm wondering what the guppies are thinking/saying about their leader wanting to distance himself from their behavior...

    And you don't see a difference between a movement hundreds of years old and modern day America?

    Free speech that included characterizing the ICE agents that the ANTIFA bomber targeted as "gestapo" ... Then she proceeeds to say that Jews are just like Nazi's when she introduces a resolution to boycott Jewish businesses ... just like Hitler and Goebells did. :roll: After a series of bigoted and delusional remarks, her defense is it's fascist to infringe on my right to broadcast bigotry? No one on the left may be paying attention to Omar's naturalization "issues", but if any of what's been reported is confirmed, that "racist chant" is extremely prophetic. It's facist by Omar's standards to curb that chant BTW ... so much stupid comes out of her mouth that I hope she isn't deported anytime soon.

    Meh, hysterical lefties.

    Trump: "...go back and help...Then come back and show us how it's done. These places need your help badly... I'm sure Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to work out free travel arrangements."

    ...Nothing about being deported in this statement. Just helping people in poor countries

    There is no modern day back to africa movement

    The liberal poster just threw that in as a smear tactic so common on the left

    It sure as Hell is to tell someone to 'go back' to a country or a continent where they haven't even lived, or in the case of Omar, especially where she and her family ****ing left that place because they're refugees.

    Keep making apologist arguments. Keep misconstruing dog-whistle racism because you (I hope) don't understand what it is.

    "Err, the back to africa movement" has not place in this modern day discussion.

    Critsizing specific things and trashing America as a country are two entirely different things. The gang of four critisizes America in general clear back to the founders.

    "Go back"? To where?

    Why don't Trumpers volunteer to help people in those places?

    What did any of them say that was "trashing America"? Specifics, and not the bullshit repetition of things that nobody said, please.

    I doubt it will after Trump distanced himself from it. The crowd was overly exuberant.

    If you study the quote trump told them to go back a fix the failed society they came from and then come to America and tell us how to do it

    Since 3 of the mouthy women were born here that did not apply to them

    But it did apply to the former somali refugee

    I wasn't attacking you personally. I was just saying what I believe. I would think Omar has got everything she has through a combination of the opportunities being there and her using them. She is clearly a highly intelligent woman. She has plenty of appreciation of Western Civilisation. That is what she is trying to keep - that is Western Liberal Democracy - neo liberalism will no longer serve so that is another matter. It also is not something that Trump will give up on.

    Here is as usual an excellent article by Paul Mason on what is going on in your country.

    Donald Trump’s attacks on Ilhan Omar show fascism is coming to the US

    I'd like to leave some quotes but the New Statesman makes that impossible. I also would be very careful about believing what people on the right say about Omar. If you really want to know her position then listen to her speaking herself in context if possible or to someone who was there explaining how it has been altered to give a negative impression.

    I did not expect in my life to see Fascism in the US but you are now a hairsbreath away from it. Ironically these young women are among the strongest fighting to make it not so.

    He was referring to Americans that hate America not to any particular race.

    The left deliberately twists the facts to create a false narrative.

    The squads overall contempt for America is plain as day and can be addressed at that level.

    Yes. It's so unfair to use the orange half-wit's own words against him. Waaah!

    Clinton sent troops to help that place distribute UN relief to starving Somali's ... didn't go very well. Though Omar's Somali caliphate in Minnesota is badly in need of help too. Lot's of terrorist recruitment activity in Omar's district ...

    Oh. So now it's "the squad" and not just the generic America haters.

    OK, so quote their "America hating" words.
