Little rant regarding the kneeling thing.

Read carefully: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

So they're learning it but just not processing it?

[Brian37]

Yeah, it's not so much about the nikes. Do whatever you want to things you bought. But they're vilifying Colin for exercising a basic American right. As for censoring Alex Jones, I imagine it's because he's a wacko, but he's far from the only one. I'm not sure why they targeted him specifically, since I didn't pay attention to any stories about it, or the recent thread here.

Who is the arbitrator of who I'd a wacko or not?

Free speech is free speech. If free speech only applies to the speech you like, it's not free speech.

If you subscribe to the argument that corporations should be the arbitrator of free speech (for whatever reason, most left wing people seem fine with this with Alex Jones and not Colin) then at least be consistent with that argument.

Instead the exact same people who say YouTube not only can, but should censor certain people, don't feel like the NFL has that right.

No moral consistency whatsoever.

HOLY 1984 BATMAN,

For someone who has consistently cried foul now suddenly you are not a "republican"?

Please tell us liberals how to do it, please. 

You, "Just let the politics become scapegoating, nothing bad will happen."

It still remains MORON, that when one holds a seat of power, especially a high seat of power, you DONT use 45's tactics. There is a far different role between private free speech, and a RESPONSIBILITY in political office to avoid the rhetoric of despots and dictators. 45 isn't telling it like it is, he is trying to silence any challenge to his power.

Do you ever find it ironic that YOUR posts are witten with the EXACT same style as TRUMP's tweets??!!!!!!

If free speech were absolute DUMBASS, you would not have laws that allow those responding to what you say to them in laws that allow FOR things like defamation, liable, slander and incitement. 

And again DUMBASS, I am NOT running for political office. So if you think I would vote for Obama if he spoke like TRUMP, the answer would be NO!

Please try to grasp the difference in the role of private free speech and the RESPONSIBILITY of those in office.

And the other part you fucking miss is that you CANNOT equate the vitriol of fucking bigots, to the bluntness in counter to those bigots.

Do not expect me to apologize to ASSHOLES who use religion to be dicks to others. 

You do NOT get to equate those standing up to the bully as being the same as being the bully.

YOU write EXACTLY like TRUMP.

Nope.

I am ALSO NOT RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE!

I won't run myself because I don't like having a filter. 

If you can understand why conservatives don't like Bill Maher, and liberals like me don't like Rush Limbaugh, GET A FUCKING CLUE.

You and I are NOT IN PUBLIC OFFICE.

WHEN either side is in office, it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT responsibility!

But again, even in that case, IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, you cannot equate someone calling Mexicans rapists or calling for an all out ban on an entire religion, or vilifying black NFL players or attacking even war heros, as being the same as those whom respond to that vitriol with a "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE" as being the same as the bully.

Learn what a bully is first DUMBASS, I don't think you know what a bully is.

He's meme levels of wacko, if I recall. Like, that's basically what everyone knows him for, isn't it? Or am I missing something?

[Amarok]

And Again Beta Fail refuses to get it there is a difference between 

1. A person kneeling in protest against racial violence 

2. A world leader using his platform as a world leader to bully intimate a protesters  and to rile up his fan base  something we would expect from an autocrat not a democratically  elected leader and furthermore neither addressing the issue of the protests and putting this act of blatant  bullying above his actual job as president 

3. A group of people not putting up with being intimidated by their own president 

4. A bunch of Trump fanatics burning shit in support of their bully president and against a group of peaceful  protesters

Who is the arbitrator of who I'd a wacko or not?

The fact they say false and highly inflamatory things like Sandy Hook being a false flag

Free speech is free speech. If free speech only applies to the speech you like, it's not free speech.

And Youtube has the right of freedom of association they have chosen to server ties to Jones .He has the right to speech not a platform . Freedom speech is not absolute .

If you subscribe to the argument that corporations should be the arbitrator of free speech (for whatever reason, most left wing people seem fine with this with Alex Jones and not Colin) then at least be consistent with that argument

I don't but they have a right not to host Jones video's on their site 

Instead the exact same people who say YouTube not only can, but should censor certain people, don't feel like the NFL has that right. 

Jones has no right to use Youtube no one does 

No moral consistency whatsoever.

I disagree .

No, they're not learning the lessons history teaches us. So they'll make the same mistakes all over again.

This is a man who 

1. In denouncing the murder of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, calling it an “elaborate hoax,” Jones has forced the parents of Noah Pozner, a 6-year-old killed at this mass shooting,  as they are pursued by “truthers.”

2. Reaping more misery from another tragic school shooting, Jones has pushed the conspiracy theory that the Parkland, Florida, survivors are in fact “.”

3. Jones perpetuated claims that one of Hillary Clinton’s top advisors ran a satanic sex trafficking ring out of a pizzeria. Days after Jones , one of his followers entered the pizzeria with a rifle and fired off several rounds of bullets. 

5. “The government  to turn the friggin’ frogs gay.”

I could go on but ...

[John V]

The argument made sense, yet you convoluted it.

No, it didn't make sense on several levels. Feel free to keep it up.
