    if they help poor whites get living wage jobs with tariffs and a huge wall, that ought to trickle down to poor minorities as well.

    i don't know how they will implement trickle down racism after the civil rights legislation

    Nice to know that you think bomb plots and death threats are "nothing."

    I never said that.

    So you can't interpret anything correctly nor can you provide support for the things you say.

    Anything other false statements you'd like to make?

    When speaking about violence on the right, I brought up these bomb plots and death threats. You said I had "nothing." So which is it?

    You had nothing and "bomb plots and death threats" are nothing are not even comparable statements.

    You have nothing = you have no argument.

    Seriously, did you actually think that meant that I said bomb plots and death threats are nothing?

    So we have plenty of evidence of violence on the right, just as we have evidence of violence on the left. Until you can provide evidence that the violence on the left far outweighs the violence on the right, you have nothing. You have no argument. All you have is a presupposition which you "defend" by calling any attempt to weigh the right at all a "deflection" and arguments that attempt to limit the discussion to riots.

    I'll take skepticism over such a heavily biased presupposition any day.

    The Right has engaged in self defense, which is sometimes violent, the Left engages in violence that is unprovoked and far more widespread.

    What a bunch of denial. Are you denying the existence of the militia group or the five named would-be bombers?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Shooting up a church is self defense? Bomb plots? Threatening to murder reporters and delegates? That's preposterous.

    Shooting up a church during the elections? Or are you referring to Dylann Roof? You know as well as I do the context of our conversation was in regards to how either party reacts to electoral disappointment and defeat, not a list of every rotten thing that has ever been done and at who's feet the responsibility lies.

    It's as if your goal is not reconciliation, but just a blame game. What are you up to?

    This is all so much fun to watch, all of us on the Right are having a blast

    watching all you alt lefties make fools of yourself with your tired and worn out

    race card. We understand it's all you got, you can't debate issues anymore

    because none of your ideas make sense.

    We all understand that you are upset at getting your azz kicked in spite

    of your lying media and we are all enjoying the show.

    It's therapeutic.........

    We all know that you are void of anything of substance when it comes to

    real racism.

    You overlook 90% of it because it's all on your side.

    You accuse us of racism while your party is thinking about putting a real

    racist like keith ellison in charge of your party, where's the outrage here?

    The only thing I can figure , is you have gone nuts............

    Democrats are too stupid to realize that historically, very very few times has one party held the white house for 3 consecutive terms. I think had they run a decent candidate and not an ugly, lying criminal they could have won. Trump wasn't a good candidate, it's just that Hillary was horrible.

    Three so far that I've seen here: an aid to Kasich (yes, he's still alive), John McCain and his blood brother Lindsay Graham. The rest are lining up at Trump tower as we speak kissing the ring.

    No, I'm not only talking about violence during the elections. I'm talking about violence on the left and right in general. Most leftist are decent folk. Most righties are decent folk. Neither ideology requires violence or is uniquely prone to it over the other. Both sides have their violent loonies. Neither should be characterized by their violent loonies. Yet I constantly see threads where people try to use a few instances of violence to malign all leftists. I've asked people if they've seen similar threads maligning the entire right in a similar way so I can say the same thing there, but so far people have only been able to link me to two or three threads that are either years old or were locked a long time ago.

    No, Jim David Adkisson

    You know as well as I do that people used these incidence to try to malign the entire left as being more violent than the right, which is what I was responding to.

    When people try to use incidents like this to malign an entire group as being more violent than another, then placing arbitrary time constraints to force the case is intellectually dishonest. If people say that the left is more violent than the right, then yes, they are opening up the discussion to all instances of violence, not just the past few weeks.

    Blame game? I responded to a blame game by pointing out that the same sort of flawed thinking could be used against the right as well. People in this thread are blaming the entire left for a few instances of violence. I'm pointing out that, by the same logic, the right would be guilty as well.

    *Gasp* It's almost as if we should consider people as individuals and not use the actions of a few to characterize the peaceful majority, left or right!

    I am equally looking forward to see the right wing pretend that its government is the most transparent and has the highest level of integrity in the known universe.

    Kristol, Beck, and Podhoretz who are making the claim of racism in the Trump camp are RIGHT wingers. I bet this is giving you a bigger laugh.

    Convicted criminals like O'Keefe make money out of deceiving people's eyes and ears. If you don't trust lying politicians why would anyone trust a convicted criminal already well known for lying?

    No I most certainly have not done this as you have not 'weighed the right' in any of your posts. You've brought not one shred of evidence.

    I've mentioned the rioting that he left does (and the right doesn't). I've also mentioned the violent crime statistics which are committed at a ridiculously high rate by those who lean left. You've countered with absolutely nothing.

    The ACORN videos were heavily edited. The unedited tapes told a different story. Many of the people he talked to knew he was full of (*)(*)(*)(*) and basically (*)(*)(*)(*)ed with him. One called the cops as soon as he left. He even edited himself into the videos dressed as a pimp. This is the guy you choose to believe?

    No story that is anti republicans gets told truthfully by the left.

    What do you believe the gist of his story to be? That O'Keefe is a convicted liar is my read.

    I had not recalled any conviction for lying so I looked up the facts.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O'Keefe

    Here is the thing though about false pretenses, do you think when the FBI investigates they always do it truthfully when it comes to congress? O'Keefe was trying to get the truth out of the Landrieu office. Instead he ended up being fined $1,500 plus probation plus community service. They let Hillary go free with far more damaging evidence.

    Trouble for you is that O'Keefe was not submitted to trial over that.

    When Katie Couric asked the dumb question of Palin about papers she read, don't you think the network edited that story?

    We readers of Democrats have seen them not only defend liars, but over and over as if the liar really told us the truth. Bill Clinton comes to mind right off.

    I'm not the "far right" and have never placed much store by what Glenn Beck says. Fact.
