Woman Goes on Hateful Anti-Muslim, Anti-Obama Rant in Va.

That's why so many of these turn out to be a hoax, huh?

This is no hoax. The woman on the video has retained counsel. She's getting tons of flak for her comments. Death threats even. That's ****ed up, but she stepped in it big time.

It matters because people like her think the president of this country speaks for them.

...ok. She's free to think as she likes. So what? Dumb people are everywhere and they never stop saying dumb things. If we get upset at every idiot out there running their mouths, we are always going to be upset.

It's best to just keep walking and pretend your ears aren't working.

You act as though this was somehow orchestrated? You think she didn't believe the **** she was saying? WTF?

You don't agree that it's impeccable timing?

People were running their mouths like this when Obama was President. Trump isn't really the subject here. Just some dumbass running her mouth. But it's America, so all sorts of dumbasses get to run their mouths.

Hate crimes have gone up since Trump was elected. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to add the two together.

Correlation isn't causation. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that either.

If I was getting death threats over something like this, I would sue the living **** out of the person who recorded and released the video.

Does that include the hate crimes that have turned out to be hoaxes?

She is certainly a bigot with some vile beliefs. But that was not a rant.

Yes, she certainly is a bigot, and the typical Trump supporters are debating the validity of the video instead of condemning her statements.

It's all fake news and alternative facts. The president can say something. It can straight out of his mouth and on camera, and his supporters will declare he didn't say that and will provide an entirely different interruption.

It would be nice is some sane Trump supporter posted something proper in this thread, or maybe condemn bigotry when it's blatant.

Except now they'll get their fifteen minutes of shame on Facebook...and hopefully crawl back into the woodwork.

That is pretty much what I do, but some times I have to bust out laughing with some of the originality and expressions.

I had a young 8-9 year old black kid in Norfolk on a bicycle jump out in front of my truck a while back, and I damn near killed the kid.

I hit the horn out of anger, and the kid just nonchalantly got off his bike and gave me both fingers while doing the butt waggy thingy.......... I almost died laughing.

Thank you! This is the kind of rant I was hoping for. :mrgreen:

I thought what the lady said in the OP is pretty offensive, and I have had people say similar things to me. I have had people say things to me like, "Obama isn't the president anymore. America is are sick of immigrants like you whining. We are not going to listen to you anymore, and neither is Trump." Since Trump has been elected, I have also been told to leave if I don't like it here.

I am just as confused as the woman in the store. I am here legally. I work, and I have a good education. I paid a lot of taxes, and I don't necessarily think I am a whiner. I have helped my neighbors in a number of situations. People like that bigoted morons. It's too bad they don't see themselves for what they actually are.

America is my country. Are you saying it isn't?

If you agree with the woman, then no. The country is not about white people and banning muslims.

I am just not as cynical as you in terms of thinking this video is about as relevant as the "I like turtles" video. I consider the woman's actions as a reflection of current issues and politics in America.

Look at any video of a Trump rally and you can see where the sudden surge of open racism is coming from.

Amazing how the guy had his camera ready, right on time. Incredible how he could set his phone to record video so quickly.

Pretty easy. Swipe up on the iPhone from either the locked screen or unlocked and hit camera. Done.

It isn't about the thought police and muslims and banning non-muslims (some muslims are white).

You're not making sense. I don't know if you're trying to troll or what, but this country is home to many muslims and people of all color and faiths.
