It's amazing when someone is hit over the head with logic, and he actually changes his mind.So how do you argue with somebody who is that far out in left field? I was dumbfounded. I'm just driving along. He's sitting over here all smug and secure, like "See you have no response?" And I thought about it for a minute. Then I used his point of reference. I said, "Well, we all know that all white people have a gene within them that makes them a serial killer." He says, "What do you mean?" And I said,"Well, name me three black serial killers." He thought about it — he could not do it. I said, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy. All whites. I said, "Son, you are a serial killer." He says "Daryl, I've never killed anybody." I said, "Your gene is latent. It hasn't come out yet." He goes, "Well, that's stupid!" I said, "Well, duh. Yes, but you know what, you're right. What I said was stupid, but no more stupid than what you said you me." Then he got very, very quiet and changed the subject. Five months later, based on that conversation he left the Klan. His robe was the first robe I ever got.
No I think you are wrong. The left (pushed by the media and Democrats) really are losing it on a wide-scale now. The media and democrats have demonised Trump and the right so much that the left are reacting in unbelievable ways now.edwardmurphy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 21, 2018 8:56 am Stu, it seems like you're still playing the cherry picking game. I can go tit for tat pretty easily. The right wing press doesn't report on the many people out there who identify as conservative and/or support Trump and who behave just as obnoxiously, so maybe you're not aware of them. I promise you, they're there to be seen if you choose to look. I can also assure you that the vile lefties that are so frequently the subject of right wing reporting are often portrayed inaccurately, unfairly, and in the worst possible light. That's pundits for you. They're promoting an image of their political opponents, and fairness and accuracy don't concern them. So yeah, I can match your examples of poor leftie behavior with counterexamples of poor behavior by righties, but what's the point? Why bother?
The fact is, the idea of "the left" and "the right" as unified groups moving in lockstep is silly. A-holes chucking feces are no more representative of the typical liberal than racist, Jew-baiting Neo-Nazis are representative of the typical conservative. We're all better off ignoring the pundits' dog and pony show and focusing on the many things that we have in common. Because at the end of the day, believe it or not, we all want what's best for our families, our fellow citizens, and our countries.
I don't live in the US but do follow the news there.edwardmurphy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 22, 2018 6:04 am Where do you live, Stu? Just asking, because here in the States I'm just not seeing it. Sure, there are plenty of examples of "lefties" behaving badly, but remember, Hillary Clinton got 65,853,516 votes and apparently quite a few Sanders supporters didn't bother casting a ballot. Throw in liberal kids who were too young in 2018 and we're looking at a passel of folks who don't care for Sideshow Don.
So how many examples of insane lefties chucking feces and attacking folks in Trump hats have you come across? A hundred? A thousand? A million? I suspect it's actually closer to ten that to a hundred, but even if it was a million that's still only 1.5% of the people who voted for Clinton. That leaves "the left" 98.5% sane.
How many conservative colleges are govt funded?Stu wrote:
And no I don't think the same would happen if a leftist wanted to speak at a conservative college. The right hasn't been whipped up into a frenzy by the media and politicians.
So you're saying the Commie Camp they held was not real - that kids in fact did not attend it. That they didn't make flags?edwardmurphy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 22, 2018 9:58 am Ack...
Stu, this is yet another right wing punditry piece. Note the rage and hysteria in the headline. Look at their other headlines, and note that the same level of rage and hysteria is present in all the rest. The site is one big right-wing op-ed, with no news to be found. If this is representative of the sources where you get your news then everything that you're hearing is part of a right wing, anti-liberal narrative. You're getting nothing but opinions, but they're opinions that you're inclined to share, so you accept them. Consequently you're badly misinformed about life in the United States.

Triggered By A Trump Bumper Sticker, Deranged Woman Rams Her Car Into Another - Dangerous Liberals & Their 'Hate Movement' Against MAGA Supporters Hits Staggering Heights
According to the Cape Cod Times, a Massachusetts woman, Chloe Wright, 25, became so triggered and enraged by seeing a Trump bumper sticker on a man's car, she started honking at him as he was stopped at a red light, then followed him to the next one, and kept honking, while yelling at him. The man, thinking something was wrong with the back of his car stepped out of his vehicle.
“She said, ‘You voted for Trump?’” the man wrote in a statement. “I said yes. She called me a racist and several other names.”
As the man began recording the incident on his phone, the woman drove around his car, prompting him to step back into the driver’s side door opening, he told police, according to the report. The woman then drove at him and hit the open door, he said, according to the report.
“She bent my door and I had to lean back to avoid getting hit,” the man wrote. “She also hit the side of my car.”
The woman drove away down North Street, the man told police.
The man’s recording of the incident shows the woman’s car, a gray Honda Civic, drive around his car and hit the open driver’s-side door, according to the report. A statement by the man’s girlfriend, who was in the car with him during the incident, confirmed the man’s account, the report says.
She was arrested, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, and faces additional charges of vandalizing property and leaving the scene of property damage. Wright pleaded not guilty, was released with a $1,250 bail and ordered stay away from the victim. Her pre-trial hearing is scheduled for August 28, 2018.
This is just the latest example deranged liberals getting triggered and becoming violent against a Trump supporter, something that is happening with increasing frequency.
On the other side of the country, in California, on Hollywood Boulevard, another man was triggered by a man wearing a Trump shirt, which ended in a brawl, the second time this has happened in a four day period.
On July 25th, it was reported that a man, Clifton Ward, was indicted after threatening to assault and murder Republican congress woman Diane Black, in yet another example in a growing list of GOP politicians being threatened with death, as well as their families, which ANP reported on just last week.
Those GOP politicians include; Senator Rand Paul, a death threat against him and a threat to "chop up" his family with an ax; Representative Lee Zeldin was targeted along with his wife and young daughters; A campaign volunteer of Zeldin's was also almost run over after a liberal became triggered seeing a MAGA hat in a car; An intern of Representative Brian Mast was told over the phone "I'm going to find the congressman's kids and kill them"; Republican Representative Jason Lewis received "sick messages" which threatened him and his daughters."
Mobs chasing Trump supporters out of businesses, as crazed libs attack teen Trump supporters because of their MAGA hats. One spitting on the hat, and another ripping it off a teenagers head (with some hair) then throwing a drink in the kids face.
NO JOKE: UNIVERSITY DEAN FORCED TO APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING REPUBLICAN FRIEND
Freedom of association now under attack by leftist mob
A University of Georgia professor was forced to apologize after congratulating a friend who happens to be a Republican candidate for governor, according to Campus Reform.
Davis, dean of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at UGA, was a classmate of Georgia’s GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, and called him a “nice guy,” and “kind to a fault” in a congratulatory tweet following Kemp’s primary win last week.
“I went to high school with GOP guv candidate @BrianKempGA. We played YMCA ball from childhood. Politics be damned. He’s a nice guy, always was. Kind to a fault. He’s a friend, always has been, and will be when we’re old(er) and grey(er). That’s how this should work, people,” Davis tweeted last week.
But liberals went ballistic after Davis dared to extend any civility to a Republican, calling him a “racist” who “spews bigoted and dangerous rhetoric,” reported Campus Reform.
Davis caved to the leftist mob and deleted the tweet shortly after, but tried to explain he was simply “acknowledging a friend.”
He then issued an apologetic tweet days later, claiming he “learned so much” from the left’s misguided identity politics rhetoric.
“I’d like to apologize to anyone offended by my tweet shout out to Brian Kemp. It was ill-timed and poorly written. I’ve read and learned so much from you all and will endeavor to be more thoughtful,” Davis tweeted Friday.
The left has reached a point of insanity where even being associated with a Republican is enough to brand you a racist, sexist, xenophobic Nazi.
