    If you want to identify every person on the left with some people who make comments online work away. It's silly but whatever rocks your boat. If you want to see racist conservatives commenting online about an 11 year old Malia then here it is (I know you said 10, is 11 ok?).
    http://www.mediaite.com/online/conservative-blog-commenters-target-malia-obama-with-racial-slurs/

    And Sasha had rape threats when she was 15
    http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/politics/racists-tell-sasha-obama-hope-u-get-raped-for-her-15th-birthday-screenshots/

    You're right, it was Limbaugh who said it about Chelsea. Is there anyone on the left with anywhere near the number of listeners/viewers of Limbaugh who said anything that bad about Barron Trump? Or even bad about Barron? Or even Bristol?

    Sarah Palin got flack because she recommended an abstinence only education. Later Bristol got flack when she got pregnant whilst being a spokesperson for an abstinence only group.

    BTW, if you search twitter for stuff about Malia Obama you find loads of nasty stuff.

    This is my favourite from today. It's absolutely batsh1t crazy. The woman says she wants the Obamas raped but in a previous blog post says it's because she's OT3 and knows them from a previous life.
    https://twitter.com/adventuresofkg/status/822594099731722243
    And then the Obamas can be tortured, fully televised, I can't wait for their children to be tortured, and have that televised all over the planet. And they deserve it, these two people made sure I couldn't adopt children this life, they made sure I was pummeled, destroyed etc etc they knew the Doshays were committing crimes, the Secret Service already assessed it, instead of alerting local law enforcement ie doing the right thing, they ignored it, they also violated their own internal polices by not communicating with the FBI, this was all done on purpose and it's cause I'm a Scientologist, a Jew, a Catholic, a woman, a Republican, white etc etc. These are Hate Crimes by the Obamas, so in addition to my damages they can go to prison for hate crimes. And that will be their legacy, hate crimes on the American People.

    The thing is that you seem to think that liberals as a group are worse than conservatives because some idiots made some bad comments. Rationally you'll know that on twitter there are idiots of every stripe and you will find hate directed at just about everyone. Irrationally you can pretend it's only a problem with "liberals".

    Not all members of Trumps support are racists.

    Not all those who oppose him are insulting his autistic son.

    Factions lads. Levels. Different people. We're not all under one banner just cos we're on the same side.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    I don't recall Trump telling people to attack people, destroy property and be violent. If he did he was utterly wrong.

    Or do you take "revolution" to be different depending on whether it Bernie Sanders, Democratic activists right now or Trump calling for it?
    How quickly you must have forgotten...



    While I don't condone violence and think it is very much the wrong thing to do in this instance, Trump and every last one of his supporters who refused to condemn this at the time when pressed on it (which on boards if I recall was basically all of them) have zero grounds for complaint.

    So.. To summarize, Trump is anti veterans, LGBT, senior citizens, the disabled, and he's a climate change denier. And people still support him. What a world we live in.
    Like it or not, he's struck a chord with the silent majority, almost every group you mentioned is a minority interest.

    EC rules are what they are so I'm not contesting the outcome of the election, but you do know that need a majority to have a majority right? :p


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75


    Last I checked gays women and immigrants were also minorities. How concerned is he about them I wonder

    He got the majority that mattered and is sitting pretty on the throne for the next few years.
    What he does not have is the support of many of the minority groups that other politicians coveted in the past.

    He doesn't seem to have any interest in reaching out to opponents at all. He shows no interest in healing any divisions in the USA.

    Massive women's protests all over the US are planned for tomorrow, the largest will be in DC.

    All true, but a majority he certainly did not have - just among a system that values a rural voters ballot more than an urban dwellers. Not too surprisingly, those areas tend to be white. It will be interesting to see how he or Pence do in four years time when there's a track record to actually judge them on, mind!

    Well, Pence already has one come to think of it, and it's sure not pretty. Bordering on fundamentalist at times, even.

    #1 You said she was a prominent liberal. No she's not prominent.
    #2 She wasn't mocking Baron Trump for autism, she was suggesting he has characteristics of being on the autism spectrum. She has a child who is autistic so she was expressing her opinion based on her experience.

    Also you compared this to Trump mocking a disabled reporter. How is this in any way the same. He's the president and she's a celebrity. Oh sorry I forgot that he's a celebrity too...

    What do you make of Michael Moore calling for disruption of the inauguration and supporting groups like disruptj20, or people like Cher and Katy Perry literally telling people to go out and cause riots?

    I don't recall right leaning celebrities saying things like that when Obama got elected. People with tens of millions of followers on twitter.

    Edit: Lady GaGa was doing the same thing, inciting violence.

    Link? I've been googling and I can't find anything where they said riot.

    We can all be pedantic if the situation chooses.

    They knew exactly what they were doing.

    Dance Trump dance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,858 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Is this typical for Pence to dance too, and then family too ?

    No, they're scumbags. The progressives are different. Try and keep up dear. Not all Irish people are in the Iran.

    No issues with protesting and heck a scumbag like Richard Spencer getting punched which he did is nothing to lose sleep over, but those violent protesters are achieving absolute **** all bar empowering Trump to clamp down hard on further protests.

    Also smashing up places like Mc Donalds, what does that actually achieve? How on earth is Trump affected by that? Odd.

    Calling for 'the hard hand of the law' to crack down on opposition protesters isn't fascist at all.

    No, calling for the hard hand of the law to crack down on people assaulting others for their political beliefs is what a free open democracy does. Otherwise it is ok to assault people based on their personal beliefs.

    If anyone wants to remember a fonder time, like the day before yesterday, here's Stephen Colbert's take on the inauguration before it happened.

    There's been a lot of contenders this week, but easily the funniest thing I've seen - https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/822514006518853632

    Best moment of the day!

    It wasn't real suffering. He looks up 10 seconds in and then proceeds to act like he's on Broadway to impress his fellow protestors. It's the definition of absolutely hilarious.

    It isn't just that, in every Trump news article on Facebook or websites with their own comments, there is always at least one person who is happy about others being upset. Why would a person do that? Doesn't sound healthy to me. One guy even said it was the best thing in his life to make liberals suffer.

    Judging from your post history, I'm sure you'd have been lovely to Trump supporters if he had lost.
