First paragraph: "The splc made no effort to verify each report"

By the way we are talking about protester violence. Stop linking random articles and tweets and think about what you are posting.

I don't think so. Are you talking about the fight between left and right protestors in Berkeley? Did anyone take up arms? Normally, that means guns. Didn't something happen in Seattle where someone shot a protestor? Is that what you're referring to?

I'm a conservative, and I would take up arms against white supremacists if I thought white supremacists were gaining power to implement white supremacist policies. (I do not consider building a wall nor deporting illegal immigrants a white supremacist policy.)

I misread it. However saying hate is increasing based on that link is dishonest at best. #everythingontheinternetistrue

Those that read all of Berts tweets and links can be the first to throw a stone at those that skim his garbage.

Thanks, but I'm tired for today...

and reading Adios America by Ann Coulter. I suspect I'll come back with lots of questions about immigration soon.

Not personally but violence and hatred replacing reasonableness and liberal values is not a good thing. It's not good from the other lot either but we don't share their values.

There will always be a fringe who enjoy the violent approach but we must never let them become more than that.

Chez did you delete a post of mine? If so, why?

It was reported and it was name calling in a content thread. A lot of the time that's sufficient to get a post deleted.

Gotcha I didn't know that was a rule. Thank you for the explanation.

Whats dishonest is people blaming Obama for BLM violence and then absolving trump. Dishonest is kind though.

Lol comparing the protests Obama faced and the protests trump did.

That sad thing is that the Trumpkins HATE this about Obama. They think it's weakness. They like it when Trump says "get them out" "in the old days they would go out on a stretcher" etc. That kind of thing is really the main reason he's POTUS.

Lol at thinking calling for people to be brought out on stretchers is acceptable under any amount of verbal protest. Disgusting.

An no it wont be how its handled in the future. Because we wont have much of one if it is.

I don't think it is okay for trump to say those things. No other politician has faced anything similar though and I'd imagine it is tough dealing with that at what seems like almost all his rallys.

He could done more to prevent his supporters from becoming violent as Hillary could have. I keep asking liberals ITT if liberal or conservative supporters have been more violent at protests the past year and half and I still haven't gotten an answer. If it is liberal protesters who are worse I think Hillary should be judged as being just as much to blame as trump.

And he and his wife took more derogatory crap then anyone. I might not like a lot of his politics but if i had to rate the presidents in my lifetime he wins.

He called for violence. To do more he could of just not done that. All the rest is bs excuses and apologetics.

You lost me there. The Antifa people hate Hillary. Who are you talking about? The Hillary people didn't assault anyone.

How many doctors who performed abortions were killed and how many laws were broken by not allowing women free access their doctors by abortion protesters?

Can we move it form right and left protests to activists? The numbers arent even close there id guess. I mean in killings.

That is messed up and i missed it. Hilary gets to own violent protesters (protesters who hate her too..) but trump gets out of taking responsibility all the while calling for violence something Hillary never did. Ugg.

If there were any protests that were representative of her it was the women's march. But that cant be used since it was the largest most peaceful march in the history of the US.

In addition to the above being yet another great example of conservatives taking something that's WTF-level terrible and playing whataboutism with it, it's also timely: Trump administration certifies that Iran is complying with the nuclear deal

Suck it, Trump, nice and slow.

Now that is good. Even if that comes off as good for Trump, I'm happy if drums are not beating for invading Iran.

Fascism will literally kill people. We have the right to take up arms and defend against it. We're not going to let this happen again:

There are a lot of reports coming out that are BS, but passed on as fact. Here is an example of a USA Today published a piece that is complete garbage, but everyone accepts as fact because there was a study done and the study said so.

This particular study claimed there was some insane amount of money wal-mart employees were getting from the government to subsidize their income.

"USA Today's editors apparently didn't bother to look into that ATF report before publishing this piece, so we did. The ATF — a coalition of union and liberal advocacy groups — based its findings on a 2013 report written by Democrats on the House Education and the Workforce Committee. In other words, none of these sources is objective by any means.

House Democrats based their findings on data from one state — Wisconsin. They found that 3,216 Wal-Mart workers were enrolled in the state's Medicaid program. Based on this number, the report calculates that a Wal-Mart Supercenter cost taxpayers between $904,542 and $1.7 million a year.

To get that number, Democrats assumed that everyone enrolled in Medicaid is also enrolled in every other public program available for low-income families — including food stamps, subsidized housing, child care subsidies, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and more — which accounted for 72% of the supposed taxpayer costs.

Plus, the report admits that "extrapolating taxpayer costs for Wal-Mart stores in other states based on the Wisconsin data is difficult" in large part because the state had looser rules for who could enroll in Medicaid.

No matter. Americans for Tax Fairness simply took this already grossly inflated number and applied it to the rest of the nation. And voila, it came up with its $6.2 billion "Wal-Mart Tax."

The U.S. was right to bring violence to bear against Hitler, and people of 2017 are perfectly right to bring violence to bear against fascists here and their white nationalist cronies. And we will.

Thank you. But seriously, can we queue it too?
