That’s what you call a failure?!
@Health, I finally got around to reading the article. The author, in most of it, was merely stating his own opinion. The problem is that if you look at most public polls, the majority do want the statues removed.
And you didn’t answer my question. As many of my fellow commenters wrote, not neccesarily was everyone there a neo-Nazi. If someone sees what’s happening by a neo-Nazi rally, and stays to protest with them, they’re not a fine person.
And I’m not saying that the local and state governments bear no responsibilty. He is right that it didn’t have to be the way it was.
I can tell that you’re merely grasping for straws by going off topic. Just answer the question:
ARE NEO-NAZIS VERY FINE PEOPLE?!
@Healthh, just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it a defamatory conspiracy. It’s all clearly on video.
@iacisrmma, @Health, I’m not a Communist. I’m a democratic (not Democratic) socialist.
And by the way, “illegal” is not a noun. People use it to dehumanize, because once you dehumanize, you can do whatever you want to them.
Air.
If you used your brains, you would vote for Sanders.
Your claim is inaccurate. The statue was not put up when Lee was a hero. It was commisioned in 1917, and put up in 1924.
I fully support Sen. Cory Booker(D-NJ)’s bill to remove all Confederate statues from the US Capitol, and place them in the Smithsonian museum.
I’m aware that these are historical relics. That’s the point. Historical relics belong in a museum.@Health, that is not an accurate transcript. The following is a transcript, directly from the video.
Reporter: You’re putting what you call the “alt-left” and white supremacists on the same moral plane.
Trump: I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this; you had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious, and it was horrible, and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you’ve just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides-
Trump: Well, I do think there’s blame on both sides. You look at both sides, I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And, if you reported it accurately, you would say.
Reporter: ____________________(unclear)
Trump: And you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of a statue of to them, a very important statue, and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.There you go.
There may have been people who didn’t want the statue taken down that were not neo-Nazis. But the rally was filled with Nazi flags. And they were screaming Nazi slogans. And it was organized by Richard Spencer. Yes, that Richard Spencer. And there were people, if you can call them that, like David Duke and Chris Barker in attendance.If someone is at a rally, for whatever reason, and neo-Nazis are chanting their slogans, and they stay, they are not a fine person, let alone a very fine person. Period.
@coffeeaddict, If you mean CNN, that stands for Cable News Network. And is Faux News talking about the Malaysian plane?
@coffeeaddict, I didn’t say nothing is true. I just said that the majority is touched up. And BTW, what’s the Clinton News Network?
Faux News is state media.
ARE NEO-NAZIS “VERY FINE PEOPLE?!
With a last name like Zuckerberg, what do you ezpect? Both of his parents are Jewish. He married a non-Jew, therefore, his kids are not halachically Jewish.
And last time I checked, he converted to Buddhism a few years ago. But he’s a Jew nonetheless.
Who?
It’s not called “groupism”
It’s called stereotyping.
I support extreme vetting, not a ban. The current ban is extremely racist & xenophobic!
What I meant was, the money is being saved, and waiting for the rich. Their ideology is that instead of taking care of the poor, give a tax break to private jet owners.
It’s relatively simple. When he gives so much money to the billionaire class, the U.S. just doesn’t have the money to combat terrorism.
Why should anyone care where other people live?
Who’s algore?
What’s all this fake news about Al Gore?
Who do you think you’re kidding?
Meno, of course there are differences between climate change and smoking.
What I meant is, what’s the difference between fossil fuel companies saying that their products do no harm to the environment, and cigarette companies saying their products do no harm to the lungs.
The reason Republicans don’t believe that human activity is linked to climate change is because many of their major donors are the ones from the fossil fuel companies. If they were to say that human activity is linked to climate change, they would immediately lose millions of dollars in campaign donations.
Deep down, they know it’s true.
How about when smoking was linked to lung cancer, there were people who said that the two had nothing to do with each other. What’s the difference between the two?
