BTW...

Anyone else remember when Bill O'Reilly was blamed for when George Tiller was killed?

Or when Sarah Palin got blamed for Jared Loughner shooting Gabrielle Giffords because of her map with cross-hairs on it?

Does that mean we can blame this shooting on media outlets like Slate, Think Progress, et al that been running multiple stories about how Trump is going destroy democracy?

Just checking.

It doesn't work that way. Clearly, this is a vast right wing conspiracy. This guy was a GOP patsy. Democrats have never been violent. They are the party of peace. Love. Tolerance. Inclusion.

How is his appearing at a KKK event false? He even admits he did it, but of course claims he didn't realize what kind of group they were.

Well that's just stupid. Who doesn't realize what sort of group the KKK is? :lol: I went to a Tea Party rally in 2009 to see what all the fuss was about. That doesn't make me a Tea Party supporter.

Then again, people can change. Obama was against Gay Marriage before he supported it.

That's not what you said, you claimed he himself was a white supremacist. Either back up the claim with actual proof that he is a white supremacist or admit that you're throwing out hate labels in the hope they stick and that you are aiming to discredit your opposition totally (and therefore not have to even listen to them) by means of such slurs and denigrations. Your hatred of others does you no credit.

Gotcha

Sounds a lot like being an agent of the state and not wanting to help someone because they are black or gay

You really should try to track your own logic sometimes, Jon

You are making a huge leap and assumption. Obviously they both did their duty - and saved the lives of people they were sworn to protect.

Not sure why you are coming with the conclusion you did. But you fail, to comprehend the point of the post - that Griner did her job, even though her assigned duty was to protect someone that is a white-supremecist, and an anti-gay bigot.


You should try logic, sometimes

How is Scalise a "white supremacist"? I'll grant you the anti-gay bigot title, because he's clearly anti-gay. Going with the term "bigot" is of course trying to be incendiary, as you could certainly be called a bigot based on the definition being "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices". But based on your postings in this thread alone you certainly don't seem to have any concerns about elevating political rhetoric to beyond a fever pitched.
Check out his history and association with David Duke and the KKK.

Edit nevermind. I see you have none and Hogan, Ibanez, and GF already beat me to that point.

Reports that Rep. Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, gave a speech to a white nationalist conference connected with David Duke in 2002 are not accurate, the man who organized the events said Wednesday (Dec. 31).

Kenny Knight, a longtime political adviser to Duke, said Scalise spoke at a meeting of the Jefferson Heights Civic Association -- not affiliated with the European-American Unity and Rights conference that was held in the same Metairie hotel -- two-and-a-half hours before the white nationalist event started.

Barbara Noble, who was dating Knight and said she attended the meeting, also said Wednesday that Scalise spoke to the civic group, not EURO.

Look he's a cunt
it doesn't mean he deserves to be shot
and he admits he spoke at EURO
and he's on the wrong side of just about every logical argument

Not sure what you are trying to prove Col..?

"Scalise apologized this week for speaking to the EURO group, although he said he was unaware of the connections or the group's white supremacy ideology..."

But where's the proof that he's a white supremacist??? I know we're in the political environment where it's accepted and fun to smear the other side (both sides do it) with terms that don't mean what they're being used for (e.g. Nazi, Socialist, bigot, misogynist, Communist, etc) but that doesn't mean we can't call out the person doing the smearing and ask for proof.

I think this thread has fairly well demonstrated that when you paint people as comparable to the worst of humanity - it shouldn't be surprising if someone tries to kill them

and as a special sideshow have Jon finding it somehow remarkable that a couple of black DCPD officers would not just say "hell, these congresspeople hate me... I'm just going let them get shot"

that's quite a distorted view

I imagine he believes that's what white cops would do if it was Elijah Cummings or God Forbid Barack Obama

I doubt Scalise "hates" anyone. That doesnt mean he doesn't have bigoted views

Most people live in the real (low drama) world where disagreement doesnt equal hate, preference doesn't trump duty, and everyone we disagree with isn't Hitler

but that group is rapidly shrinking
