Trump, Saying ‘Racism Is Evil,’ Condemns Violence in Charlottesville

The first amendment allows me to call these supreme fools of the extraordinary asshole variety the racist white supremacist Nazi bigots they clearly are.

It also allows them to gather and speak their bull**** if they so desire.

Yep, and white nationalist pieces of **** deserve our ire. As do the Antifa fascist idiots. Ironic that they call themselves "anti fascist", when they are anything but.
 
Whatever dude, play your sophomoric word games if it makes you feel better. Lol.

The Daily Stormer says Trump only made the statement because the "Jew Media" had a gun to his head.

Also:

Alt-right leader Richard Spencer told reporters from his "office" on Monday that he doesn’t think President Donald Trump condemned his movement on Monday when he denounced neo-Nazis, the Klu Klux Klan, and white supremacists.

"His statement today was more kumbaya nonsense," said Spencer, who attended and was slated to speak at the white nationalist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. "Only a dumb person would take those lines seriously."

Are you a dumb person, countryboy?
 
But you said "it will never be enough for you and your ilk." Regardless of who you directed that at, it also includes White Supremacists.

The only people who appreciated the President's words for 24 hours were the white supremacists! So that means I think we know where Countryboy stands. He stands with them. I will not apologize to the KKK/Neo nazi idiots because they got the crap kicked out of them. They knew what they were doing/getting themselves into.
 
Yes, the old "my friend is black/Jewish, so I cannot be a racist/white nationalist" defense. It's a goodun.

And I agree with Cardinal on this - what Trump believes doesn't matter a whole lot, so we watch what he does, and so far he's been a great advocate for the policies supported by David Duke et al. starting with the ban in immigration from those mostly Muslim countries, slowing admissions of refugees, stepped up deportments of even otherwise law abiding 'illegals', the requirement that future immigrants know english before coming here, big reductions in immigration in general, and most recently openly praising convicted Sheriff Joe and contemplating his pardon. The alt-right/white nationalist guys love him - we saw the statements over the weekend, watched these neo-Nazis carrying Trump banners, MAGA hats, etc.

History will not be kind to Trump
 
I don't need to defend ****, and just like Trump, I don't need to reaffirm to dopey libs every five minutes that white supremacy is bad. Normal people already know this.

Tell Trump. Oh yeah, normal people know this.

I don't know much about them, but I can see the attraction/satisfaction of punching a white nationalist piece of ****. Don't see how that makes them fascist though.

I don't think it's a good precedent to set - I'd rather the forces of anti-bigotry were able to claim a position of complete non-violence...

Yet...this battle has been fought for decades now, and I can understand some being fed up with passively resisting such disgusting drivel.

Most know it, but few do anything about it.
 
Worthless, late and insincere condemnation is worthless, late and insincere.

His three day delay sent his White Supremacist base all the message they needed from him.

He cares more about people supporting him than anything else. He has proven that over and over again.
 
I'm going to say this last thing, because the IQ in this thread is dropping like a rock.

After BLM executed those police officers in Dallas Obama never condemned BLM. If I had started a thread and said "President Obama didn't condemn BLM therefor he clearly advocates killing policemen. Period. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot." If I had done that the liberals would have recommended I check myself into a mental hospital. and they would have been right.

long story short, you all belong in a mental hospital. have a good day!

Obama on Dallas: 'Vicious, calculated, despicable attack on law enforcement' - CNNPolitics

Warsaw, Poland (CNN)President Barack Obama said Friday that the nation was "horrified" after what he called "a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement" in Dallas.
The White House announced Friday evening that the President would cut short his European trip by one day and visit Dallas early next week.

Then the argument stands that Trump gave a nod to white nationalists by intentionally avoiding calling them out during the crisis and the immediate aftermath.
That you don't want to defend it, and cannot successfully defend it, is fine w/me too.

Trumps track record on non white race is fact. Hard to argue against it. That is if people like facts?
 

I agree with those who are stating it's too little, too late. If he really wanted to condemn them, hot-headed tweeter-Trump would have immediately done so. Even the white-supremacists don't believe he's condemning them.

Hell, Trump is such a punk --- those neo-Nazis at that rally were yelling out anti-Semitic slogans, and Trump's own daughter and grandchildren are Jews. Trump couldn't even stick up for his own daughter and grandchildren. What complete loser trash.
 
Liberals call Trump a fascist and celebrate FDR who locked up 100,000 Asian-Americans in camps. Fun times we live in, huh?
 
Ooookay....

I'm specifically referring to James Alex Fields' actions.

On one hand, I can understand a rational President condemning white supremacism, then saying "no one should use political violence," and saying "let's wait until all the facts are in about the car collision." I can even understand a moderate statement two days later, such as "the FBI is investigating as a possible act of terrorism."

Instead, we get a President who treats anti-racist protestors as moral equivalents to neo-Nazis and the KKK; who is surrounded by people that take a strong stand against white supremacy and racism; and childishly attacks an African-American CEO who dared to criticize his mealy-mouthed response.

Further, you're claiming that the President labeling Field's attack as "terrorism" would potentially poison the jury pool. So I ask again, when did that start?

As a point of comparison: The Boston Marathon was bombed on Monday April 12th, in mid-day. The next morning, even before the suspects were identified, Obama classified it as an "act of terrorism" and saying "We will find whoever harmed our citizens, and we will bring them to justice." Was this the wrong thing for him to do? Was Dzhokhar Tsarnaev completely incapable of getting a fair trial, because the President classified it as a terrorist attack so quickly?

OK, so you are willing to ignore all other politically motivated violence (terrorism?) in Charlottesville and specifically want the POTUS to address the car crash as if it were the only violent (terrorist?) act that occured.

As to what Obama did that includes taking stands against police 'acting stupidly' and also refusing to say what 'flavor' (political/religious motivation) of terrorism he thought had occured. Trump has in no way condoned any act of terror, violence, hatred or bigotry by not addressing each presumed motive that was (or may have been) involved.

No more AM radio for you.
 
.......

The problem is, in the total lack of any attempt to re-direct a childishly horrible with a tweet, the president of the United States has outed himself as a Nazi loving racist.


Do liberals have some type of learning disability or are they just that unhinged that they can't think rationally?


I mean seriously, get a grip.
 
I don't care about generic phrases like "racism is evil" because most racists don't think they are racists and so don't believe they are the ones being spoken to. However, Trump finally called out some of the groups by name, which is much more powerful, and for finally doing that I will give him some kudos.

When Trump was younger and not involved in politics he was a LOT better about calling individuals and groups like this out, without and advisors telling him. He has either gotten senile or is hesitant to alienate these hate groups for political reasons until the pressure is overwhelming to do so.

Trump and/or his staff handled the response to Charlottesville very badly - it gave the distinct impression (in the original statement and his response to questions afterwards - walking away silently) that he was refusing to condemn the racists and bigots, and further giving the impression that counter-protesters were equally to blame.

I don't know if he's a fascist, and I dislike that some are outright calling him that, because it's not by any means a proven statement. But I'm certainly wondering if he might be, more than I was, now.


FDR's decision to intern people, including american citizens, during WWII, was wrong and probably motivated by bigotry and racism. I would find it extremely surprising if any liberal praises that part of FDR's legacy. But frankly, it isn't even remotely related to this topic.

It's all about that base, 'bout that base, no trouble.

I think you need to understand that not all political violence is terrorism.

Someone punching out a fascist at a rally is engaging in assault. At worst, it's politically motivated violence.

Someone driving a car down a crowded street into a crowd is intentionally causing harm in order to instill fear in both the victims and the society as a whole, in order to achieve a political goal. We might call that political violence, but we'd also call it terrorism.

So yes, it makes sense to put Fields' act into a different classification as counter-protestors punching a protestor, or even white nationalists beating up a black man.

Try again.

Trump classified anti-racists protestors as moral equivalents to neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Most of those thugs got the message right away -- they supported Trump, and he supports them.

The reality is that Obama did not shy away from calling out terrorism. Trump did, and in doing so has already emboldened the terrorists.
