Conservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters

[Uncensored2008]

The political memory sure seems to be suffering from Alzheimers...


Trump refers to them as "professional protesters" - which simultaneously discredits them (with no evidence) and fans the flames. A typical tactic to delegitimize their concerns which are just as valid as the concerns that moved people to vote for trump.

Conservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters:

Trump’s supporters also perceive these protests as “unfair” because they claim there were no riots following Obama’s election.

According to conservatives on social media, “Republicans have jobs and responsibilities” and therefore couldn’t engage in civil disobedience to voice their discontent with the 2008 and 2012 elections. With this perception of the Obama elections and subsequent claims of “ Republican acceptance,” Trump supporters are now demanding the same “fairness” for Donald J. Trump’s presidency, “We sat through do nothing politics for 8 years, the least they can do is go shut up and sit in the corner for 8 themselves,” on Trump supporter explained.

However, these perceptions do not reflect what actually followed the election of our country’s first black president, much less the difference between why people are protesting Donald J. Trump’s presidency as compared to Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.​

Now, this blog is in it's own way as decidely biased as the pro-Trumpers view, but it does point out some conveniently forgotten truths of a previous election win. There were protests. And violence. And some pretty bad behavior.

Trump protestors?

Oh, the HILLARY rioters.


{Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.}

Well that's a fucking lie, as you well know.

well just post up one news story from 2008. That's simple right?

 

[Uncensored2008]

This election cycle's protests might be bigger (but then, so was the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric and animosity of the entire election compared to previous campaigns) - but none of that changes the fact that there were significant Anti-Obama protests compared to previous elections. There's a trend here of increased division leading to violence that you conveniently want to ignore.

Still, you told a fucking lie;

[Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.]

That is not true, and you KNOW it isn't true.

We cannot have a civil society that learns to compromise until you of the Khmer Rouge STOP LYING.

Racist Backlash Greets President Barack Obama

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Several incidents described in this article:

Racist Backlash Greets President Barack Obama

The half of the country that is truly concerned about Trump's ascendancy has rights, too. Not to riot, but to protest and yammer? Hell, yes.

Are these incidents what you are holding up to compare with anti trump protests?

Most of these complaints are silly. Someone saw a Confederate flag, obama was hanged in effigy, that silliness. Where are the freeways blocked, cars with their windows smashed out, stores with windows broken, and at least one murder?

Have you anything comparable?

It's all OK and will soon be dealt with. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will put a stop to the rioting.

I overslept------what is the dirt on Jeff Sessions?

Sessions called a black man "boy" about 40 years ago. It kept him from getting appointed as a Federal judge. Now the sonsabitches want to cause double jeopardy on that incident.

Just like any older adult calls a younger male, no matter what race they are.

yes-----once got in trouble for calling a young black male----
"that boy"-------the kid was a lot younger than was I

Nope no people in the street there.

There's a big differance between individuals who are racists and crowds of people protesting.

The large crowd of tea party was after the passage of ACH and no destruction. With false accusations of racism by the dishonest.

Maybe my memory is hazy and I don't recall rioting when President Obama was elected but maybe someone can refresh my pot filled head...

As for protesting, well of course they protested his election and hell some on here still believe he was born on Uranus and illegally came here from Pluto, but again can someone help me with the rioting part!?!

Like with President Obama I will give Trump the same length of rope to hang his political career with ( not a threat for those that have nothing better to do than to be complete idiots ) and I believe the fringes on both sides need to smoke a little herb and get laid so they can relax a little...

I see no reason to condemn protests - they're an expression of a right. That right stops short of violence and destruction though.

I didn't write anything about you not having the right to protest and by all means, but I still am asking the question when did the amount of rioting happen when President Obama was elected!?!

There is a big difference between rioting and protesting in a peaceful manner, and before one of you write I believe protesting is rioting, well try again...

I condemn rioting no matter which side does it because it is destruction of property and acts of violence that is not needed...

I think you are riot in that the amount of protesting has been greater and I think that is directly related to the extremely toxic campaign, in part. I think there are SOME that turned into riots, which was less in the Obama election but even those, given the number of debunked claims - is probably less than is being claimed.

There is a lot of anger being fanned by irresponsible social media when it should be calmed and that is disturbing.

Try reading the thread? or maybe use google

here how about these

Like the noose strung in protest from a tree limb in Texas. Students at Baylor University in Waco discovered the noose hanging from a campus tree the evening of Election Day, near a site where angry Republican students had gathered a bunch of Obama yard signs and burned them in a big bonfire. That same evening, a riot nearly broke out when Obama supporters, chanting the new president’s name, were confronted by white students outside a residence hall who told them: “Any ****** who walks by Penland (Hall), we're going to kick their ass, we're going to jump him." The Obama supporters stopped and responded, "Excuse me?" Somehow they managed to keep the confrontation confined to a mere shouting match until police arrived and broke things up.

Then there were the students on the North Carolina State University campus in Raleigh, who spent Election Night spray-painting such fun-loving messages about Obama as “Let's shoot that ****** in the head” and “Hang Obama by a noose.” The N.C. State administration was so upset by this behavior that it protected the students’ identities and refused to take any legal action against them or discipline them at all.

But those were just warm-ups from the student cheering section. The real thugs, exemplars of the dark side of the American psyche, were shortly making their mark.

That night, four young white men from Staten Island “decided to go after black people” in retaliation for Obama’s election. They first drove to the mostly black Park Hill neighborhood and assaulted a Liberian immigrant, beating him with a metal pipe and a police baton, in addition to the usual blows from fists and feet. Then they drove to Port Richmond, where they assaulted another black man and verbally threatened a Latino man and a group of black people. They finished up the night by attempting to drive next to a man walking home from his job as a Rite Aid manager – he was actually white, but this crew of geniuses managed to misidentify him as a black man – and club him with the police baton. Instead, they simply hit him with their car, throwing him off the windshield and into a coma for over a month.

All four of these men wound up convicted of hate crimes and would spend the duration of Obama’s first term in prison.

In Midland, Michigan, the day after the election, a discarded Ron Paul activist named Randy Gray (he had been peremptorily dismissed from the Paul campaign when his white-supremacist activism was revealed) stalked the sidewalk in the middle of a heavily trafficked intersection in town, dressed in full Ku Klux Klan regalia, waving an American flag. He also was toting a handgun. Police approached and talked to him, but let him continue his display after he told them it had nothing to do with Obama winning the presidency.

A busful of schoolkids in Rexburg, Idaho, started chanting “Assassinate Obama” just to tease the tiny minority of their fellow schoolkids who were Obama supporters. In Rexburg – where the population is over 90 percent Mormon – that’s about three kids in the entire school. District officials didn’t discipline the children who had led the chants, but it did send out a letter to their parents reminding them that students are to be told such behavior is unacceptable.

Then there were the arsons.

On election night, a black family in South Ogden, Utah, came home from volunteering at their local polling station to discover that their American flag had been torched.

The morning after the election, in Hardwick Township, New Jersey, a black man taking his eight-year-old daughter to school emerged from his front door to discover someone had burned a six-foot-tall cross on his lawn – right next to the man’s banner declaring Obama president. It had been torched too.

Another cross was burned on the lawn of the only black man in tiny Apolacon Township, Pennsylvania, the night after the election. A black church in Springfield, Massachusetts, was also burned to the ground the night of the election; eventually, three white men were arrested and charged with setting the fire as a hate crime.

And if the election itself wasn’t enough to bring the haters out of the woodwork, there was always Obama’s inauguration on January 21, 2009.

Two days before the big event, arsonists in Forsyth County, Georgia, set fire to the home of a woman who was known as a public supporter of Obama. Someone painted a racial slur on her fence, along with the warning, “Your black boy will die.”

On inauguration day, someone taped newspaper articles featuring Obama onto the apartment door of a woman in Jersey City, New Jersey, and set fire to it. Fortunately, the woman had stayed home to watch the inauguration on TV and smelled the burning, and she was able to extinguish the fire before it spread. If only she could have done the same for the hate that sparked the act.

The day after, a large 22-year-old skinhead named Keith Luke decided it was time to fight the “extinction” of the white race, so he bashed down the door of a Latino woman and her sister and shot them both; one died. Police cornered and arrested Luke before he could pull off the next planned stage of his shooting rampage, which was to have taken place at a local Jewish synagogue towards which he was driving when arrested. According to the DA, Luke intended to “kill as many Jews, blacks, and Hispanics as humanly possible ... before killing himself.” When he appeared in court a month later, Luke had carved a swastika into his forehead with a razor blade.

But the pain and violence inflicted by these haters was just beginning.

In all, the Southern Poverty Law Center counted more than 200 “hate-related” incidents around the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the nation’s first African-American president.

next you'll be denying the KKK is racist

While ignoring the fact that these people had never protested in their life, also their fault for remaing silent for too long.
They were copying from protesters signs of the left.
Lefty protestors signs were just as raciest aimed at Bush.
