Is that necessary. Engage in conversation with me and I’ll engage back. Name calling just tarnishes the forum and undermines your opinions.WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING DUMB?
But being intellectually dishonest and willfully ignorant makes it better?Is that necessary. Engage in conversation with me and I’ll engage back. Name calling just tarnishes the forum and undermines your opinions.
Then stop being such a fucking idiot. Seriously, stop it.Is that necessary. Engage in conversation with me and I’ll engage back. Name calling just tarnishes the forum and undermines your opinions.
If you ask the guy who shot up the jewish synagogue last week "Some people saw that as emboldingly white nationalist", do you think it would be reasonable for him to respond "I don’t know why you’d say that — such a racist question"?https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/11/07/pbs-reporter-trump-claims-racist-question-april-ryan-newsroom-vpx.cnn
She said
“On the campaign trail, you called yourself a nationalist,” she began. “Some people saw that as emboldingly white nationalist. Now people are also saying…”
Trump responded
“I don’t know why you’d say that — such a racist question.”
Thank you. Godzilla, he called it out. She was probably taken aback but so be it, it was a racist question and her taking the term nationalist and turn it to a race thing is....racist. I love PBS and even like that particular reporter but yes that question and that underlying thought process is quite simply racist. Why is a nationalist - someone who is advocating for America First - have to be white and have to be racist?
Edit: in before concern, dog whistle, etc
It's ok, you can admit it. This is a safe place and nobody (least of all me) is saying you're racist. Are Zionists racist for wanting a Jewish ethnostate? Of course not.Nope, not even close.
You see UG I get that he isn’t a white nationalist. But what’s concerning is he keeps making these gaffs in his speech.https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/11/07/pbs-reporter-trump-claims-racist-question-april-ryan-newsroom-vpx.cnn

It's not a gaffe. Trump outright refuses to condemn white nationalists. Earlier, I even pointed out how easily he could have done so in response to the question asked.You see UG I get that he isn’t a white nationalist. But what’s concerning is he keeps making these gaffs in his speech.
Conservatism is all about patriotism and pride in our country. Enshrined by small government which leads to freedom which stems from our American ideal of individualism.
Which is obviously what he’s talking about when he used the term Nationalist.
But you see the thing is there are white nationalists out there and they use words very similar to what Trump says.
They might say all Mexicans are dug dealers and racists but they would never say, “and some are good people”. The problems is those on the liberal side only hear the first part that similar between what white nationalists say and what our president who’s a nationalist says, completely missing the difference.
It keeps happening too. They say globalist to mean Jews who are rich and supposedly want to control international events star expense of white people. Where as when trump says it he just means those who want to try and control international events at the expense of the US. Totally different but it’s easy to see how it’s confusing to others who don’t see as clearly as you.
The same thing happens when he talks about blacks, and Muslims, and women. You know what he means it just sounds almost the same.
It concerns me that the man who represents the living breathing ideal of what conservatism has become in 2018 doesn’t articulate it as well and might be driving others away.
Shouldn’t we expect more?
Precisely. No amount of obfuscation will change that.The question was obviously made to provide Trump an opportunity to separate his nationalism from white nationalism. And he refused to do so.

Well nothing else gets the hell through to UC. I thought by buttering him up by sounding like a Trump sycophant I could plant some seeds of doubt.It's not a gaffe. Trump outright refuses to condemn white nationalists. Earlier, I even pointed out how easily he could have done so in response to the question asked.
I'm surprised you're making excuses for him.
What part of refusing to renounce White Nationalists do you fail to understand?Or he won’t entertain outright racist games from the press. I don’t blame him. She interjected a racist element to something where there was none, her question therefore was racist. He was right to call her out on it.
Thank you. You subtlety eluded me.Well nothing else gets the hell through to UC. I thought by buttering him up by sounding like a Trump sycophant I could plant some seeds of doubt.
Also everything I lied about was italicized.

You act like Trump hasn't had multiple instances of racism before and after elected Presidenthttps://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/11/07/pbs-reporter-trump-claims-racist-question-april-ryan-newsroom-vpx.cnn

“Now, I'm not calling Trump a racist. I'm simply saying the racist PBS reporters believe he's a racist."He called her out on being a racist which is what she was being.
It's absolutely central to any sort of honest discussion. Or are you saying that didn't happen?The part where it was irrelevant to the conversation, not applicable, and only brought up to stoke fear and racial tension I guess.
So you're denying that white nationalist groups exist in the US?Or he won’t entertain outright racist games from the press. I don’t blame him. She interjected a racist element to something where there was none, her question therefore was racist. He was right to call her out on it.
I'll try one...Or he won’t entertain outright racist games from the press. I don’t blame him. She interjected a racist element to something where there was none, her question therefore was racist. He was right to call her out on it.
It's fun that you don't believe that the racial fear and tension is coming from the groups that openly want to subjugate, imprison, or deport all non-white and/or non-protestant peoples in the US, but instead blame the non-white and/or non-protestant peoples for not wanting to be subjugated, imprisoned, or deported.The part where it was irrelevant to the conversation, not applicable, and only brought up to stoke fear and racial tension I guess.
Because free speech, right?He also needs to start pulling more credentials.
