GG tried to ding me for holding Leftists to their own standards. He did this by pointing out I don't call out the Right for that same thing. But he forgot to ask me if I even find the issue offensive in the first place.
I didn’t ding you, I pointed out the fact that both sides politicize these events. You call out one side for doing it while doing the exact same.
I did not "call out one side". I held up that poster to HIS OWN standard. How many times do I have to tell you this?
I don't understand even what this means, "Politicize the events". It's one more excuse for people to fluff around the get outraged about nothing. Look, if you know people who are involved in the terror and tragedy, you don't "politicize". If you don't, then what? You can't talk about all the ramifications for our nation, what the motivations might have been? Or what, there's some waiting period?
That's baloney and all thinking people know it.
I am not surprised you do not understand your own actions.
What it means to politicize these events is to take the tragedy before the blood is even dry and tie it to some stupid political point that has nothing to do with the event.
Politicizing these events is using the fact the shooter was “left” or “right” to demonize an entire group of people.
Politicizing these events is blaming a public figure because one of these nutjobs might have liked them or voted for them.

Okay what does that mean, "Blood is even dry?" We comment on wars, which are political events, and there's blood all around. I mean this is a sliding scale, exactly like I said. If you KNOW someone whose loved ones died, or you live in the town, or you are standing at the terror scene--yeah. Uncouth, even cruel. Otherwise, what are these rules? Who wrote them? Why? Terrorist events ARE political. That's why they're called "terrorist".
I think you're making up arbitrary rules to engage in Leftists' favorite pastime--SHAMING.
Politicizing these events is using the fact the shooter was “left” or “right” to demonize an entire group of people.
Well the shooter is usually left or right. And I agree with you to a certain extent, but then, since terrorist attacks ARE a political event, it would behoove us to look at what's happening with that group, politically. Fairly. And with cool heads.

Yep and there is where the Left is way, way more at fault than the Right. Go on Twitter or any social media today and look at the absolute meltdown they are having over Trump and Mitch McConnell. Compare and contrast about what Righties are saying about Warren.
So yeah, the banter about Trump is a whole new level. If you can't see THAT objectively, we're done here.
No one on the left is demonizing entire population demographics like immigrants, or minorities, calling them an “infestation”. Therein lies the basis of calling out the right for their racism and xenophobia.
These right wing white supremacist attackers are seeing their fears and hate confirmed by the President. Trump didn’t invent racism but he is the first politician since Reagan to exploit it for political gain.
Racism racism racism...that shits so old
