It is right there in the 9th Amendment and Natural Common Law

“Are you willing to condemn them?” “Sure.” That should be enough, but the media is trying to make it into a bigger thing than it is. Not shocking.

Im telling you that folks should maybe pay attention to the pattern someone is pointing out. Just because their go-to was the last guy who tried these sort of tactics is the one guy you all want everyone to be forbidden to compare your guy too for some reason. The pattern exists over and over and over. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Sweet. Good for them. Cities don’t let police take out the trash, maybe this bunch will. All for it.

That said, I agree with you that they aren’t scary and their menace doesn’t quite measure up to the Sturmabteilung...yet.

Also, in the interest of the Godwin invocations that usually disturb me greatly, I’ll agree that it’s something of an absurdity to begin asserting Third Reich comparisons...for now.

But to see a sitting United States President talking about some fringe group as if he’s their leader or inspiration is very effin weird. It has no relatively recent precedent that i know of. I mean, who are these guys? His foot soldiers?

So you being so dismissive is awfully strange. This kinda relationship between a president and a group of boychik ruffians is very evocative of...well, you figure it out.
The only ones acting totally fascist is the left

Exhibit A: of a mentality that runs rampant when the highest level of leadership does not condemn a hate group when asked to condemn said hate group. Novembers election can not come soon enough.

Honestly, that's the softest of softball questions and should have been too easy to answer.

"Yes, as I have repeatedly stated in the past when asked this same question, I unequivocally condemn white supremacist groups, as well as every other group based on the notion of racial supremacy."

So easy a caveman could do it.

So, why did it tie the President up in knots so?

I’ll take a stab for the OP. Have you been this “rough” with ANTIFA and BLM? ..... Didn’t think so.

Wow.

They even have The Turtle siding against Trump.

And I'm not even sure The Turtle has a soul.

Regular turtles probably do just not The Turtle from Kentucky.

Just to clarify.

Also there's glorifacation of gangster culture, and reflection of growing up in an environment.

If the artist flaunts being a dealer and fronts like he's a gangster, that's gangster rap.

If they describe circumstance and talk about the world they grew up in, it's more conscious hip-hop.

This is not gangster rap:

No problem, but anyone who likes gangster rap must be held to a similar standard. Otherwise you are pretty much, well, what one might call a supremacist.

Why are you changing the subject? You cannot give a straight answer? Do people that listen to lyrics about raping women count as rape culture or not ?

Well white supremacy tends to involve gangs. So white supremacist bands are... Gangster rock?
Almost all gangs involve race. What was quite amusing about Hollywood gangs was their multi-racial fantasies. What is also amusing is the Proud Boys actually match that description the most.

Do you think people that listen to Wagner is an AntiSemite? Just curious
If his songs were pushing anti-Semitic propaganda then yes.
So what about rape lyrics? Again there are a lot of people that should be considered linked to hate groups by that standard.
