Let us know when some alt-left fanatic screaming about 'invaders' (and let us know when that buzzword echoes a Democratic President's incessant fear-mondering) and slaughters 11 Jews at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in the largest massacre specifically targeting Jews in American history.

In the meantime, keep furrowing your brow in consternation over campuses while pretending that it's not Springtime For Anti-Semites in America precisely because of the man currently in the White House.

You are apparently oblivious to the fact that the word Nazi is short for Nationalsozialismus Deutsche Arbeiterpartei which is German for National Socialist German Workers Party and they had plenty of those rallies.

I know you want to pretend that the Nazis are and were a right wing movement, but they and their anti-Semitism were solidly on the left as their name so clearly indicates. And as clearly exemplified by the BDS movement, that’s where the anti-Semities like Ilhan Omar find their home today.

I will give you points for the Producers reference, though.

The left drools over Islam for one and only one reason. The left hates Christianity more than anything, and Islam hates Christianity more than anything except for how much it hates Jews. Therefore, the left takes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" look when it comes to Islam. Unfortunately for them, as Islam takes down the west, they will take the women and gays down with them. (see Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. etc.)

The tribalism and partisan generalizations and bickering on both sides need to stop. It isn’t helpful to anyone.

All I hear and see these days is:

Person 1: the left bla bla bla bla
Person 2: yeah but the right bla bla bla bla
Person 1: Dems are all about bla bla bla
Person 2: yeah that isn’t half as bad as conservatives bla bla bla bla

You’re both annoying....shut up!

It’s probably best to just skip over the threads that annoy you. Telling people to shut up isn’t usually an effective technique.

I’m not saying open dialogue can’t occur, just leave the labeling and sweeping generalizations at the door.

I hear you. Sometimes, for my own sake, I just have to put the inter webs down is all.

No, now you're judging what is and is not acceptable to you speech. You don't want open dialogue--just the dialogue that agrees with your political views.

I agree. This board and the web would be a boring place if everyone agreed on everything.

Your links is about US action taken against China, not refuting Trumps effusive praise of Xi, who according to you, is a horrible thing to do.

Trump praised(es) Xi consistently and repeatedly. You rightfully point out the Chinese treat some of their people very poorly (inhumanely). You seem to view Brown as terrible so by that logic isn't Trump even worse? Not only has he praised Xi, he praised Jong-Un:

"You gotta give him credit."

"How many young guys -- he was like 26 or 25 when his father died -- take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden ... he goes in, he takes over, and he’s the boss," Trump said. "It's incredible. He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. I mean this guy doesn't play games. And we can't play games with him."

Crazy. Jung-Un's crimes against his people make China seem like an enlightened Norway.

If you attack Brown's praise of Xi, you have to attack Trump's praise of XI and not only Xi, but all the other group of "winners" he has praised. But for some reason, I don't think this a real concern of yours but more of red team vs. blue team type of criticism.
