LOCKED Espn apologizing for having a fantasy draft on tv.

The guy that shot up a softball game was despicable, and yes he was a leftie. I'm also vehemently opposed to BLM, they use bully tactics, and use dangerous and reckless methods to push their agenda.

But this incident wasn't BLM. It was white supremacists. So they deserve 100% of the blame in this instance.

It's important to call out abhorrent behavior on both sides. Dont turn a blind eye out of party loyalty.

My God this has nothing to do with "party loyalty". This is common sense. If you really do think it's important to call out both sides, then you'd agree that BLM and Antifa weren't there just to have a picnic.

 

[KurtRambis4]

WAit a minute, WE are the ones

that aren't turning the blind eye! We are saying the KKK, BLM, & ANTIFA all are domestic terrorists that clashed this weekend. You're the one that keeps saying, "it was just the KKK!"

 

[57stratdawg]

If that was an ISIS fighter behind the wheel, would you be interested in the reasons why he blames America?

Terrorism is terrorism, isn't it?

 

[KurtRambis4]

I could pull

a dozen nutjobs just as equally as despicable as Duke, praising Obama. What does some random ******** tweeting have to do w anything. You're falling hook, line, and sinker for the propaganda.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Do you believe those protesters deserve blame

for being run over in a car by a white supremacist? "Both sides" were not murdering each other at this event.

 

[tired]

All Trump had to do was give a statement saying the KKK and Nazis have no place in our country. Yet here we are 3 days later and Trump is doubling down on "they left is too blame too".

I cannot imagine a worse approach to this.

On Monday, Mr. Trump declared, “Racism is evil,” adding that “those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans"

 

[KurtRambis4]

I could certainly

make an argument that they were accessories, for lack of a better term.

ETA: three racist, terrorist organizations confronted each other. It seems an innocent person who wasn't involved in the three got hurt and it's tragic, but I'm not going to sit here and excuse two of the three groups bc the murderer wasn't in their group. I'm saying all three ******** groups are to blame. What is wrong with saying a domestic terrorist org is bad?

 

[Hump4Hoops]

If that were his original and only remarks, they are good.

But they were days after his original "both sides" comments... which he backtracked into today. I will give him credit when he deserves it.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

At least they didn't say men should use the men's room

 

[tired]

for being run over in a car by a white supremacist? "Both sides" were not murdering each other at this event.

You've got to be trolling. That was one guy. The discussion is more about the group as a whole. The leftist group instigated it, but both groups are responsible for that mess & if you can't see that, there's probably no one on this board who can help you. Racists people suck.

Nothing will ever be enough for those who INSIST that he's a racist...something that was unjustifiably drilled into our heads by Hillary's campaign, without a shred of evidence other than the fact that Trump wanted to protect our borders more. It started there and snowballed, and people have had their fingers in their ears ever since. It's a bunch of hysteria and drama.

Again, Trump could round up white supremacists, put them in camps and personally tear down Confederate statues and it still wouldn't be enough for them.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Jesus H!

He 17ing denounced them! Wtf does it matter if it was Saturday or Sunday? He 17ing denounced them.

You're letting your bias overcome logic and rational thinking.

 

[KurtRambis4]

How could you

down vote this? This is 100% the truth. If you don't like it, you might as well be lumped in w the OM crazies that think Mullen is behind everything on them, trumpeted by Yancy.

 

[paindonthurt_]

There were more left counter protestors than there were nazi/white supremacists to begin with. The nazis and supreme beings were actually protesting somewhat peacefully.

Here's the thing.

KKK
Nazis
White supremacist
They can all be considered terrorist, racist, violent, hateful.

BUT
So can BLM, blac bloc, those 17 heads from berkeley.

Common things in all protests by all of these nuts on both sides?

Hiding their faces like cowards
Breaking the law
Showing hate
Being racists (not liking someone else's view point or heritage bc of their skin color or culture)
Cowards
Ignorance
Stupidity

 

[paindonthurt_]

Crime is crime right? What are your thoughts on mike brown?

 

[EAVdog]

They (Antifa, communists, etc...) came with body armor, pepper spray, batons, clubs, bricks etc... and lots of go-pro cameras. It's a miracle more people weren't killed. Go watch some videos on YouTube and it looks like a street battle.

And I'm not picking any sides, I'd love to see all these crazy ******** who think it's ok to use force as a 'protest' go meet up and beat each other's brains out. But this has been going on for a while and it's just going to get worse.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

You're going to have to take it up with prominent members of your own party

Lots of Republicans condemning the president's remarks today, not just libcucks or whatever:

Marco Rubio (https://twitter.com/marcorubio)
The organizers of events which inspired & led to #charlottesvilleterroristattack are 100% to blame for a number of reasons. 1/6
They are adherents of an evil ideology which argues certain people are inferior because of race, ethnicity or nation of origin. 2/6
When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you,it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them 3/6
These groups today use SAME symbols & same arguments of #Nazi & #KKK, groups responsible for some of worst crimes against humanity ever 4/6
Mr. President,you can't allow #WhiteSupremacists to share only part of blame.They support idea which cost nation & world so much pain 5/6
The #WhiteSupremacy groups will see being assigned only 50% of blame as a win.We can not allow this old evil to be resurrected 6/6




Justin Amash (https://twitter.com/justinamash)
"Very fine people" do not participate in rallies with groups chanting racist and anti-Semitic slogans and displaying vile symbols of hate.




Mitt Romney (https://twitter.com/mittromney)
No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.




Susan Collins‏ (https://twitter.com/senatorcollins)
The violence in Charlottesville was caused by racists & hate groups. We must unite against them.




Josh Kasich (https://twitter.com/JohnKasich)
Let's get real.

Kevin McCarthy‏ (https://twitter.com/GOPLeader)
Saturday's violence and tragic loss of life was a direct consequence of the hateful rhetoric & action from white supremacists demonstrating.
Race-based supremacy movements have no place in our melting pot culture. #Charlottesville
They do not reflect the ideals enshrined in our Constitution that treats and respects every American equally.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Oh no

you can't disparage the leftist groups. The cluster17 in NC was all alt-rite!****

I say kill em all.
