Ravin Gandhi is the CEO of GMM Non-stick Coatings penned an op-ed with the Chicago Tribune. Here is part of what he said.
After Charlottesville and its aftermath, I will not defend Trump even if the Dow hits 50,000, unemployment goes to 1 percent, and GDP grows by 7 percent,” Gandhi wrote for CNBC, where he is a regular contributor. “Some issues transcend economics, and I will not in good conscience support a president who seems to hate Americans who don’t look like him.”

“The fact that Trump equated hate groups with those protesting hate lit me up,” Gandhi told the Tribune. “His moral leadership on this issue is reprehensible

Ravin is also a CNBC contributor and frequent guest. A woman objected to his op-ed and left the following message...

For the record Ravin was born in the United States
 
So he would or could have defended him, but for Charlotte? Unexpected, but ok. Maybe everyone should be defended when and if possible, but if there's a set of things past and future, which are defensible, few members will have anything to do with this instance, yet he uses it to justify never defending him for anything. Guy seems like a real piece of work... Publicity ho?

Not possible even if dreaming but I guess good on him for even thinking something like that is even remotely possible. 'Republicans' and 'good economics policy' are an oxymoron.

Can someone identify for me these "Buddhist statues from India" this woman was ranting about?

The US has the largest buddha statue in the western hemisphere, and also many smaller ones. Maybe you need to get out of the house?

I drive a truck for a living, and I need to "get out of the house"? Sure buddy, whatever.

I take it you have comprehension problems with the phrase "Buddhist statues from India", as in I was asking about statues that specifically came from India, since the wonderful, racist woman said that they need to be "sent back over there".

Why do you think it's important where the materials come from or where the statues are carved/made? Do you think if buddha were unrelated to Buddhism she'd have wanted them removed? Are confederate flags something Chinese if made in China, and therefore ok, or is the objection about the symbol and not the thing?

She said that Buddha statues (along with the CEO) should be sent back to India.

Also, another reason for asking what I asked, was to ascertain whether or not said offensive Buddhist statues are on public lands.

The problem that most people have with Confederate battle flag and statues is that they are displayed on public lands.

I thought it was fairly evident that this woman's tirade against Buddhist statues had very little merit.

Just read everything justoh says in Archers tone. Clears up the confusion about whether or not to even bother.

and that's what bums me out about it, I really, really like Archer, think it's probably the smartest comedy on TV right now (on basic cable), and this fucktard does some entry level trolling in nearly every thread he's in.
