That gives literalist commentators the cover they need to say that Trump really wasn't advocating violence while stirring up his followers in exactly the way he intends.

In one of the eight "examples," he suggested that, if people see someone preparing an assault, they might "knock the crap out of them." That's defensive.
None of the others have anything to do with inciting future violence. One of the sections even cuts the actual quote short, removing where he specifically says, "DON'T."
I would think you had the intelligence to realize this. So, either you're one of Trump's rubes or you're cynical enough not to care.

Re: Kavanaugh
Yes, it is. The Tea party, as portrayed by the MSM, never existed. The dems and the MSM did the same thing to us as they did to Kavanaugh. But there are millions of us that are against Federal overreach, fiscal incompetence and concentration of power in Washington. And we are still making our presence known at the ballot box.Beebs52 wrote:The tea party isn't a thing anymore.Estonut wrote:That is no longer the case.

Re: Kavanaugh
It was sarcasm. And I find it very worrisome that people in power, that apparently you seem to support, not only do not condemn the behavior of the people that do these sort of things, but actually encourage it and possibly even organize and pay for it. Why is there no outcry on the left to tell these people to stop disrupting senate hearings with demonstrations of childishness, to stop accosting and harassing duly elected representatives, to correct them in their rude and uncivilized behavior, and to point out the flaws in their demands and 'arguments'?SportsFan68 wrote:Thank you, MsKing.

People who have different opinions see that kind of thing and, because there seems to be no one on the left that is condemning it, assume that is what the democrat party is, and will continue to be.

Kavanaugh didn't either, until he made Trump's short list for SC.silverscreenselect wrote:They didn't bring any allegations of sexual assault or things of that nature because Gorsuch, unlike Kavanaugh, did not have anything of that nature in his background.

Re: Kavanaugh
The article was presented as a list of 8 times that Trump incited violence among his followers. It was composed of the original allegedly incendiary comments, NOT semi-sort-of-kind-of walk-backs. Snopes confirmed the quotes, but DID NOT say they had incited any violence.silverscreenselect wrote:Trump often, but not always, semi-sort-of-kind-of walks back his statements at a later point, usually in a tone of voice or accompanied by gestures that indicate to everyone what his real feelings are. That gives literalist commentators the cover they need to say that Trump really wasn't advocating violence while stirring up his followers in exactly the way he intends.Estonut wrote: Your list doesn't include a single instance where Trump incited violence. In one of the eight "examples," he suggested that, if people see someone preparing an assault, they might "knock the crap out of them." That's defensive.
None of the others have anything to do with inciting future violence. One of the sections even cuts the actual quote short, removing where he specifically says, "DON'T."

For someone who sees himself as all-knowing and mind-reading, these are the ONLY 2 possibilities of which you can conceive? I guess you're nowhere near as smart as you think you are.silverscreenselect wrote:I would think you had the intelligence to realize this. So, either you're one of Trump's rubes or you're cynical enough not to care.

Re: Kavanaugh
So, all of a sudden, Trump is no longer an absolute moron, rather, he's some sophisticated code-talker?
