Quote:Rep. Chris Collins calls for people to 'tone down' rhetoric in baseball shooting aftermath

Quote:Collins, one of President Trump’s most ardent congressional supporters, is known for going hard after Democrats and anti-Trump forces. He's also waged war with Gov. Cuomo, recently saying the governor is a "a thug, he's a bully, he's a blackmailer, and an extortionist…"

"Oh....I didn't mean for you to shoot at US!"

Lousy prick.

There's also a certain irony in the left being the self proclaimed champions of free speech only to have a vicious mob from their ranks riot, commit assault, and destroy public and private property whenever a University invites a conservative to speak on their campus.

Let's see your collection of Obama the Monkey memes, you two bit phony.

Or implications of killing liberals at tea party rallies

A-holes Righteous outrage is so much BS it hurts

As for tolerance and compassion there is a reason Aholes side of the Isle attracts the Klan , Neo Nazi's , Transphobes., And boasts the most hate groups wanna guess why ? Your the party of Anti social policies and puppets to the very people who fuck you over.

As for Freedom of speech when I hear you lash out at Trump for Imply America should re Write freedom of speech laws . Or you shut down your bullshit thread about a fucking play . Then we can take you seriously.

Well, thank god there was at least one Good Guy With A Gun there to stop the violence before somebody got hurt.

It has been frustrating reading comments on social media. People are simply using this event to advance a personal agenda. While I do not condone what happened, I'm really not surprised. People are angry, and there is bound to be someone who is not right in the head who will just snap. People seem to forget all the things Trump has said regarding Hillary Clinton. Didn't he say for the second amendment people to do something about her? Didn't he also say he could walk out onto 5th ave. and shoot someone and people would still support him?

The reality of the situation is this man is seriously ill, in the head. He believes that a solution to a problem is violence. Which is NEVER the case. But I'm sure the right wing pundits are having a field day with this. I can't wait to hear what that piece of shit Michael Savage says about this. Keep in mind, these people were praising those people pointing guns at federal officials during that entire B.L.M. situation that played out a few years ago in NV

Quote:Pastor who demonized Obama as the antichrist calls for end to political demonization of Republicans

Yeah.... when the bullets start to come too close it is time to call for a change!

I demonized Ronald (6 letters) Wilson (6 letters) Reagan (6 letters) (666, get it?) back in the 80s and could cite actual Scripture at the time when doing so.

My point is, this ain't exactly a new thing.

Go look up some of the anti-Catholic stuff on presidential candidate (and president) Kennedy.  To this day, BTW, I find his defense of the "Catholic thing", that he wasn't a very good Catholic, to be problematic on several levels.  But even as a kid growing up in the 60s, I was aware there was some pretty virulent anti-Catholic sentiment.  Even heard it from folks/relatives and that was despite some Catholic intermarriage already existing in the family at that time.

I never knew there was such a thing as a chicken lobbyist.

And there was Father Coughlin, who was a hair short of being a card-carrying Nazi. His radio shows were listed under "religion". His agenda was listed under "hating FDR" and all the other Democrats.

But the Republicans of today are snowflakes. They obviously need to be protected from online meanies.

Because this isn't a random act of violence and we need to have discussions. About why it happened and how to prevent it in the future.

It happened because a bad person has hate for a particular group of people and wanted to make a statement by killing as many of them as he could. Happens quite often, unfortunately, and it's sad to see people using it as opportunity to push their political narrative without even giving like, one day to be a human being about it.

It helps when one does not see certain people as human beings.

After all, Republicans have already made it quite apparent they do not view anyone else as humans.

Eric Trump's dehumanizing language:
“They’re not even people”
https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2...manization

This came up on POTUS (Sirius/XM channel 124) the other day:

why are amendments to the constitution 1 and 3 thru-whatever almost invariably advocated to be construed as broadly as possible (at least on the left side, I'd say the 'pubs might be a little soft on 13th) and the second as narrowly as possible ?


I also note, when I was a member of the Illinois ACLU (really!) the question came up frequently regarding the ACLU and the 2nd Amendment. The answer then, and to this day I assume, came down from on high (Nadine Strossen?) that the Second was so important the ACLU wouldn't touch it and would forever let a special organization, (the NRA) handle it exclusively.


Maybe I'm finding that answer a little snarky and dated these days . . .
