CNN Charlottesville Panel goes TERRIBLY wrong

Huh? Their dream? How do you know their dream? I don't remember them saying anything like that.

It is the Progressive dream. You just have to look around. Sanctuary cities, all that junk. We either have a border or we don't.
If we do, then we have laws to protect it or we don't.

We can work out something equitable to all, if all are willing to negotiate. If not, then you have what we have, a useless congress and a mess of a country.
 
Even on her unusually tall chair, the comments went right over her head.

I'd like to know why no one in the media has showed the footage of the police shoving the white supremacist groups directly into the path of the Antifa groups? They then had to scramble to get to their cars, and were pelted with urine and feces by the leftist protestors.

Someone ordered the Charlottesville police to create an encounter that would spark violence. I'd like to know who that person was.

Surely there is a twitter or periscope video that shows that.

What did Obama have to do with sanctuary cities? This is what I have seen:

Obama administration rebukes sanctuary cities - POLITICO

And how does this tie in with Hillary wanting to continue his policies?

The only reason you don't think CNN never presented both sides is because you believe the idiots in the right wing media who says otherwise.

I've watched CNN plenty. They only present the "other side" so that they can talk down to in it in a condescending (and in this case literally...did you see how tall that chair was? That wasn't on accident) manner.

I am glad to hear that you and BO don't support mass immigration and sanctuary cities. The Right can rest easy now. :)

The right would generally rest a lot easier if it would just stop making stuff up and then freaking out over it. It might help it avoid such catastrophic mistakes as electing the likes of Trump in the future.

I have to say, I get a great laugh every time I see Trump take the media to task. The reason it's funny is because he nails them with truth. They are biased jerks for the most part.
I also like the way he is changing things. If Congress can't get anything done, and they can't it seems, it's just great to see Trump doing what he can to work around them.

CNN apparently didn't screen this panel to suit their views. CNN's Alisyn Camerota exposed the agenda of her network by trying to sway the opinion of panel. When the panel refuses to condemn Trump's intial comments on Charlottesville, she then tries to make it seem that the panel was defending Nazis, again the panel refuse to bite. Hats off to the panel for answering intelligently.




Democrat reporter equates protests with World War Two.:lamo

I'm surprised your relevant post hasn't gotten a hundred likes. Great find. Thanks.

The question is not whether something is illegal. Of course there is nothing illegal about KKK and Nazis gathering in Charlottesville open carrying military style assault weapons in public to intimidate and frighten. But surely you can see how it can make some people just a wee bit uncomfortable. You can dismiss these folks for being "snowflakes", but surely they are justified to feel a little offended, if not a little frightened? Especially when you have a president that tells his supporters they can commit violence against those who disagree and he will cover their legal fees.

1. The purpose was not to intimidate when open carrying. That's just them exercising their 2nd amendment rights. I can understand why that would make people uncomfortable. I'd be uncomfortable if someone were open carrying around me and I believe in 2nd amendment rights.

2. However, frightened? No. My empathy ends there. I'm more frightened of our armed police forces and their lack of accountability and judgement than I am of an NRA member who open carries.

3. As for violence that gets encouraged...that's the liberals. They commit violence and then people flock out in droves to justify and apologize for that violence. Very few people are making excuses for the guy who drove a car into protesters.
