What is it with Jew hatred???
How are their lives being affected by Jews??
Where is all this hatred coming from -- I hope the show interviews some of them to get a sense
of how people end up like this.....
I think they believe Jews control the very powerful media which supports globalism and mass immigration among other things they strongly oppose.

Why?

The world isn't black and white. It's not you're either with us or against us.

SOME of the antifa believe that the violence of the alt-right has to be met with violence. That's SOME.

And if you are a white supremacist, or a white nationalist, or someone who believes that the government has an obligation to protect "white" culture and "white" values, then you need to understand that your beliefs are inherently violent. The belief in superiority means that everyone who doesn't have that "superior" quality is inferior, and that belief leads to a worldview and actions that are inherently violent as they do harm to everyone who doesn't have that "superior" quality. Bigotry is violent by virtue of its very existence. Any ideologies that are founded on bigotry must be challenged, must be debunked.

Why should they? First off, no matter what they do will be criticized.

Secondly, someone from the administration could've called the family and decided it would create too much trouble from the "grieving" tourists who didn't know her but would sure turn the event into a circus. Y'all KNOW that's what would happen, at least be honest about that.

Third, should any administration send a rep to every such event? If so, did Obama have someone permanently posted in Chiraq to attend all the horrific funerals?

I have a question for everyone...a question for EVERYONE:


Is CNN (and the MSM in general) helping anything or anyone by their doomsday "Trump is Hitler", "Trump is the Antichrist", "This is new territory", "Trump is a Neo-Nazi" unending hyperbolic rhetoric?



I mean I've had CNN on now whilst I do chores before work in the background for a while, and it's downright maddening and infuriating how ballistic these people are - I feel like the collective "left" are losing their minds and I don't think ANYONE is being helped in any of this insane doomsday rhetoric.



Seriously, am I the only one here who sees this stuff the MSM is carrying on with as very disturbing?



I have to turn this stuff off lest I lose my mind...

Turn the TV off and read a book. Remember that the three big cable companies - CNN, MSNBC and Fox have pundits on for most of the day with everybody's opinions. I watch the PBS News Hour at 6 for a coherent recap of the day's news without opinion and with very straight-forward interviews.

My friend, they are doing nothing but turning the masses in to psychotic lunatics with their inflated falsehoods and lies. The country is being ripped apart - localities are removing statues over night in Baltimore...? The left is in a collective meltdown..

I suspect it is equating Jews with controlling Wall Street, Big banks, and Hollywood. You might ask as well, how are peoples lives affected by homosexuals? Why so much hatred, vitriol, discrimination, violence towards them? The state of Virginia allows discrimination against homosexuals in housing, employment, and credit, probably does not allow any teachings in schools that provide inclusiveness, positive role models, and understanding of those who through no fault of their own are homosexual. I would challenge the governor of Virginia, and the mayor of Charlottesville to put their money where their mouth is, and denounce discrimination against gays as well along with their rant against hate of other minority groups. Hate and fear are often motivated due to lack of education, and parents who instill these ignorant thoughts to their children.

You and others making these comparisons have NO freaking idea, all you have is talking points the echo chamber is feeding you. Original thoughts? Nawwwwww not freakin' hardly.

What really cracks me up about all you screamers is NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU has condemned the violence from BLM/Anti-Faaaa. Y'all act like they were just defenseless,unarmed meek and mild innocents standing there minding their own business and were attacked by several hundred people armed with automatic weapons,nerve agents,riot shields and full body armor and in their VALOR and with superhuman strength they managed to single handedly fight off the violent hoard with their bare hands.

All I can do at this point is shake my head and laugh at all those with political/social blinders on who think there's only one side of this violence, get out my popcorn popper and get ready to watch the shows that are going to certainly follow.

Now that BLM/Anti-Faaaa have "mainstream news" approval and the tacit approval of the Democrat Party as well as some of the Republican Party (like Johnny McCain) for their violent actions I expect more shows like last weekend to follow.

You will now see the tearing down of anything "they" feel is offensive and will beat the hell out of anyone who dares say different, or at least call them Nazis or Klan members.
