Tomi Intollerance

you seem to not get obvious points. someone ranted about conservatives being intolerant of differing opinions and the facts suggest its the left that is far less tolerant

Oh...so it's the usual WHATABOUTISM and has nothing to do with the topic, huh? .

I'm all about letting someone speak their mind. If they're an idiot, folks will figure it out when that someone opens their mouth.

It is not intolerance to refuse a place on the attack team that criticized the team leader in public.

Let me know when the government starts contributing to pro-gun groups, because we do contribute to pro-abortion groups. That sword should cut both ways--if you want government out of your vagina, you have no business expecting government support in choices you make with it.

Yeah, I've seen exactly how tolerant you conservatives are to differing opinions on gun control :roll:
Click to expand...

that would include you too since you change your position on gun issues as often as most people change their undershorts. I am not tolerant of the dishonesty that many gun banners exhibit. Most of them pretend that their goals are public safety but that facade is quickly shown to be nothing more than a pretext for their real motivations

Lets take your postings for example. You have pushed for gun restrictions because you claimed that some gun owners supported actions against illegal immigrants.

No I don't have tolerance for such idiocy

yeah yeah yeah.

Sounds to me like your intolerance for differing opinion on your pet issues is no different than that on the Left.

Very well put. Seems some would much rather have it both ways, akin to having your cake and eating it too.

I believe it was because she suggested that pro-life conservatives are hypocrites.

You're probably right but whether Republicans or conservatives, it still was an unacceptable position to hold on a deliberately conservative/libertarian program. Many conservatives are pro choice at least to some extent. I myself would probably be labeled pro choice by some because I can see when abortion can be a moral and best choice and don't think all abortion should be outlawed. I see myself as staunchly pro life.

But I am pretty certain Beck would not fire somebody just for being controversial or for deviating from the conservative norm on one or more issues. Insulting your audience is not the way to win friends or influence people, but I just think there was more to the story than what we know.

My only problem with Tomi is that her scholarship was occasionally lacking, and that always bothers me but she is very young, beautiful, and talented.

After reading up--you can't go by the left wing headlines or the left wing assigned talked point that she was fired for being pro life--it seems she was suspended for a week for her intemperate insult. And then they are negotiating a parting of the ways. They were going to buy her out of the six months left on her contract but she wouldn't be able to work anywhere else until October. Or, they could pay her a lesser sum and she could go to work elsewhere sooner. I don't think anything had been decided as to today.

I'm not sure how you get into the pipeline to get the memos, but being open minded enough to let people you disagree with speak their mind probably doesn't get you moved up on the list. :)

Uhhhhhhhh what the ****? They aren't pro-abortion groups, they're just groups that provide abortion-related services.

And if you want examples regarding firearms, how about law enforcement, private prisons, and the armed forces, to name a few. Keep in mind all those blubbering fools who whine about being pro-life seem perfectly happy to have their money spent slaughtering people in the Middle East on their behalf.

Wait, do you not like diversity in skin color? Is that something that bothers you? Why would you phrase it like that?
Click to expand...

I don't dislike diversity in skin color, nor do I care for it. Its completely irrelevant to me. What I don't like is diversity for its own sake, merit matters to me.

Admitted Bias: I'm brown, born in the Dominican Republic, and I live in one of the most diverse counties in the country, Montgomery County Maryland.

Do people have a right to ignore a speaker? Free speech gives you the right to speak, but it does not give you the right to harass people who are trying to get an education.

What the hell are you talking about? There is a HUGE difference between ignoring a speaker who is trying to harass people and harassing an INVITED speaker with "Shut them down" bull****.

As for the rest of your post, baseless insults and a complete ignorance to the actual definition of bigotry. What a waste of our time you are.

One should not tolerate people who fight against our very freedoms. Tolerance may be a virtue but we shouldn't be so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance or the kinds of tyranny the likes of you would subject us to.

Being pro-choice and calling Conservatives hypocrites for being pro-life.
Click to expand...

Well, I would suggest to Tomi that the pro-life crowd considers the fetus to be a human being and therefore it's murder to have an abortion. And conservatives certainly don't want to keep the government out of murder.

I don't even know what a Tomi or a Blaze is. But, I will say that it is totally ridiculous for the View to have four members, three of which are big time liberals.

This is what completely off the rails looks like, kids.

A group that actively lobbies for abortion funding and uses government funds to expand their ability to do abortions is pro abortion. You can call it what you want, but calling a giraffe a lion doesn't mean it is one.

The military, police and prison guards are not pro gun. They are government employees hired to do a job.

You are very confused.

Not only is your characterization is erroneous, but it is a non sequitur. This is not pro-abortion funding any more than funding law enforcement is pro-gun. If you could please try to assess this critically, you could see that.

Really? Vital difference, Planned Parenthood employees are not government employees. Your concept is false as is the idea that Planned Parenthood does not receive government funding to facilitate abortion.
 
Spartacus FPV said:
Yeah, its conservatives who shut down speakers who have different ideas then retreat to safe spaces where said ideas can't hurt them.

Nice try at projecting leftist, you may like diversity in skin color from your pet protected groups, but never diversity in ideas, else you wouldn't have so many ugly names for minorities who dare defect and "vote against their interests."

Sounds exactly like what they're doing. Shut down her free speech and retreat to their safe space where nobody disagrees with them.

The Blaze had every right to let her go, but they are retreating to their "safe space." Looks like we know who the special snowflakes are.

Exactly. "Let's not debate the issue; let's shut it down."

:roll: yeah, whereas had they'd been liberals, they would have physically attacked her, set things on fire, and tried to ban her from speaking anywhere else?



Tomi made a habit of telling the audience she was talking to what they wanted to hear, it seems (shrug). I never liked her rants because they seemed like a Barbie version of Sean Hannity, whom I generally can't stand. She switched from calling Abortion murder to declaring herself a "constitutional" preaching "her truth".

1. It's sort of a Conservative precept that there isn't a "Your Truth". There is Truth, and your beliefs may deviate from it in any number of ways.

2. This is why you don't give 23 year old kids right out of college major speaking gigs representing your belief system.

3. Even had she been consistently pro-choice, or had she actually thought this through (neither of which she appears to have done), I'm more than fine drawing a line around child-murder. The GOP was founded on the principle that dehumanizing and abusing the rights of entire classes of people was wrong, and I think it's a fine thing for them to continue to argue that now.
