[WEATHER53]

Because there is no radical white terrorism

Q. Why Won't Trump Call Out Radical White Terrorism?

A. Because they're his base!

As much as your base is ISIS terrorist sympathizers.

Keep vilifying almost half the country, and we'll keep seeing senseless violence. You have to vilify to justify your hatred of me, and anyone who voted for Trump.

No rational person supports terrorism, domestic or international; only evil people sympathize with those who murder and harm innocent civilians. That IS NOT my base!

Less than 1/3 of the country support Trump, and less support the use of violence as a means of achieving their social and political goals. Trump has created a house divided which President Lincoln faced. The hate by the Alternative Right Wing they hold for minorities, and in fact anyone who holds ideas and values which do not comport with theirs, along with their love of violence, is a great threat to all of our citizens who are not WASPs, and even they can be targeted if they do not follow the script.

That is some of the most F*ed up logic I have ever heard....

1/3rd of the people support Trump (despite polls that say approx. 45%), and 1/3rd support violence, so that has to mean that the 1/3rd who support violence are the ones who support Trump...

WTF?

As opposed to the Dems, who rioted, looted, engaged in arson, terrorism, destruction of property, violently silenced Freedom of speech, beat and bloodied Trump supporters, threatened the lives of Electoral College voters, called for military coups, called for assassinations, and who tried to carry out assassinations....

Just F*ing BRILLIANT logic / reasoning....

Charlottesville Mayor: Trump 'Had His Opportunity and He Whiffed' - Breitbart

Ummm...the Mayor, Police Chief, and the Governor had the opportunity to have the foresight to see / know there would be violence and did nothing to prevent / limit it, did nothing in advance to be able to control any escalating situation, had the police stand down and watch, did not have the National guard ready.... but it's Trump's fault they allowed this fiasco to happen and nothing to stop it?

1 dead, many injured, and Gov Terry McCauliffe praised the police, who hid behind barricades and watched the violence, for doing a 'Great job'.

Bwuhahahaha.....snowflakes LOVE to 'blame-shift'....

McCauliffe is having spontaneous orgasms over his great luck and attention whoring opportunity here. Yeah, he's going to milk this fake issue for all its worth.

Fake issue? You're nuts.

This OP is clearly another radicalized Democrat nutball. He or she only gets their 'information' from Democrat Fake News. Trump has condemned it numerous times. Just because radical Democrat nutters ignore it, doesn't mean he never did it. Sadly, this OP is just one of the Thousands of crazy Manchurian Candidate-types the Democrats have created. Their Fake News has incited madness. Shame on em.

President Trump called out the Klan. To vote for him.

Seriously, lay off the Democrat Fake News kid. It's driving you mad.

It's not worth responding to Easy65, the guy's a lunatic and has never had an original thought in his life.

The hate by the Alternative Right Wing hold for minorities...

Despite the fact that it was the DEMOCRATS whose leaked e-mails exposed THEM as racists, sexists, homophobes, and anti-Semites....

Again, BRILLIANT reasoning and deduction, 'Sherlock'!

Have you come up with how many Islamo-vermin terrorist attacks would constitute 'normal' before anything should be done about them yet? You never answered before. Yur a Jenyus, so naturally we all value your 'insights' on everything.

Just an aside, but does anyone else here find the Neo-Nazis use of tiki torches somewhat ghey?

lol

Just that word, all by itself....

yeah, but it's oddly sort of apporpiate. Saying "gay people carry tiki torches" would of course be offensive. A lot of Pacific Islanders are not gay. (-:

but the klan is trying to act tough carrying tiki torches. That is bad gay. It's not like saying "they dress gay." They dress like the Village People, but they were an intentional characture.

I'll agree with you...the torches are complete faggotry.

Now, that's a word to love.

And once again snowflakes continue to demonstrate how their leaked e-mails accurately exposed who they really are - racists, sexists, HOMOPHOBES, and anti-Semites...

Evelyn Wood reprises.

The word "ghey" has nothing to do with sex. That's why it's spelt differently.

Moreover you have seen NONE of my e-mails.

I agree.

Lots of faggotry going around.

What bothers me is the hatred....the violence this year is just the tip of the iceberg. They MUST hate (either side, mind you) and vilify....then their group think? Not a far line to cross into murderous frenzy.

So many concerned with a "team" rather than our country.

Define, "our country"!

On November 15, 2015, as the world grappled with the horrors of a multipronged ISIS attack in Paris, Donald Trump, who was then an improbable but officially declared candidate for the presidency, tweeted, “When will President Obama issue the words RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM? He can’t say it, and unless he will, the problem will not be solved!”

I raise the subject of this tweet, and the sentiment that motivated it, in light of President Trump’s remarkable reaction to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend. “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides,” he said. Trump, when presented with the chance to denounce, in plain, direct language, individuals who could fairly be described as “white supremacist terrorists,” or with some other equivalent formulation, instead resorted to euphemism and moral equivalence.

Trump’s position on the matter of President Obama’s anti-terrorism rhetoric did not place him outside the Republican mainstream. Obama’s critics argued throughout his presidency that his unwillingness to embrace the incantatory rhetoric of civilizational struggle—his reluctance to cast such groups as al-Qaeda and ISIS as vanguards of an all-encompassing ideological and theological challenge to the West—meant that, at the very least, he misunderstood the nature of the threat, or, more malignantly, that he understood the nature of the threat but was, through omission, declaring a kind of neutrality in the conflict between the United States and its principal adversary.

It is true that Obama calibrated his rhetoric on the subject of terrorism to a degree even his closest advisers sometimes found frustrating. They hoped that, on occasion, he would at least acknowledge the legitimacy of Americans’ fears about Islamist terrorism before proceeding to explain those fears away. But Obama had a plausible rationale for avoiding the sort of language his eventual successor demanded that he deploy. He believed that any sort of rhetorical overreaction to the threat of Islamist terrorism by an American president would create panic, and would also spark a xenophobic response that would do damage to America’s image, and to Americans Muslims themselves.

[snip]

But the issue here is substantially larger than mere hypocrisy. Obama carefully measured his rhetoric in the war against Islamist terrorism because he hoped to avoid inserting the U.S. into the middle of an internecine struggle consuming another civilization. But the struggle in Charlottesville is a struggle within our own civilization, within Trump’s own civilization. It is precisely at moments like this that an American president should speak up directly on behalf of the American creed, on behalf of Americans who reject tribalism and seek pluralism, on behalf of the idea that blood-and-soil nationalism is antithetical to the American idea itself. Trump’s refusal to call out radical white terrorism for what it is, at precisely the moment America needs its leadership to take a unified stand against hatred, marks what might be the lowest moment of his presidency to date.

Because if he does, he alienates at least 50% of his supporters.

donald trump and his sycophant apologists evidently aren't capable of comprehending the vital nuance required in leadership diplomacy.

or most likely, they just don't care...

rethuglican trumpswabs have not only put party over country, they even put party over the ethics of common decency.

such a shame our clueless leaders need these simplest of concepts explained to them.



In the Trump presidency, pundits spend days debating the surprising—and often confusing—things Trump says in interviews and tweets. But often, the biggest questions are about what the president leaves unsaid.

It's not worth TRYING to respond to me when you are spewing bullshit, and I call you on it. Again, you snowflakes get exposed as being racists, sexists, homophobes, and anti-Semites, go on TV and call successful black Conservatives 'Mediocre Negroes' and 'uncle toms' then an incident like this happens and you want to point the finger ate all Conservatives and declare, 'YOU are the racists'. STFU already, man. That crap has been exposed and does not work any more.

I've never run from a bully, they are cowards in real life and when hiding behind a keyboard. They differ only in one way from a terrorist, they don't have the balls to put themselves in harms way.

Says a supporter of the man who
- Jumped the racist gun then tried to make his mistake all better with a 'beer summit'
- Caused the humiliating 'Red Line fiasco then tried to blame th whole world for it
- Created his own personal treaty with Iran that has lead to Iran giving NK the capability to strike the US with Nukes....

Bwuhahahaha......
