A new dead horse to beat: What are your reactions to the NFL's anti-kneeling rule?

[townsend]

Townsend, why are you so concerned with the radical fringe groups? There will always be lunatics on both sides no matter the party or president. They aren't representative of anything.

I don't see what a pissing contest of who has the worst 1% weirdos accomplishes other than "winning" internet arguments.

First, the argument was about how which party the KKK had aligned itself with. With a lot of dishonest references to pre southern strategy politics to misrepresent the current political landscape. That somehow, despite enormous evidence, the KKK and ofher white supremacists are still supportive of Democrats.

Also yes, there are fringes on either side of the political spectrum, but on one party is openly courting that fringe. Donald Trump appeared on Alex Jones, retweets white nationalists, apologizes for Unite The Right, hired Bannon/Miller/Gorsuch. Multiple white nationalists have won primaries, and even been elected as Republicans. Just look at this board and you see mainstream conservatives retweeting Alt-Right figures, because conservatives have made no effort to partisian out wackos.

Democrats are a center left political party, Republicans have veered into a far right organization.

Actually, that’s what Democratic policies presume.

One party accepted and elected Strom Thurmond and David Duke, the other elected the civil rights leaders.

You tell me why a black person should distrust John Lewis. But support the party that put Jeff Sessions in charge of the Justice Department.

This is not true either. It’s amazing neither of you can debate without flat out lying.

I can, and have, supported my arguments with facts. At least most of LT’s ideas are based on true (although outdated) statements.

School yard mud slinging doesn’t make David Duke any less of an elected Republican. Or Steve King, or Donald Trump.

And Nancy Pelosi is a far left nutbag. See how that works?

You seriously should get a grip.

First, did you forget all about the previous 8 years? Obama snuggled up with so many leftist it isn't even funny. He didn't denounce them so he must be a communist, right?

Both parties have moved left. Just because you have a high tolerance level for extreme leftist doesn't mean that it hasn't become more prevalent.

The fringe has always been there.

Nothing betrays conservative sensibilities like their explanations of overwhelming black support of the democratic party. It wasn’t that black Americans perceived the obvious racism that the GOP was caterign to, they’re just all so dumb that they can easily be tricked.

I guess you see black voters as naive, and childlike, unable to make adult decisions or perceive reality.

Actually have you seen the way some black people treat the ones the come out as independent thinkers and condemn the democratic policies that they say are just not believable any more. Some simply cannot renounce the party and still be acceptable to their own heritage. They are completely ostercised as stupid and are called Uncle Toms.

Please tell me Nancy Pelosi and David Duke are comparable. Say those words. Because I need you to show just how ridiculous conservatives are.

He denounced Farrahkan, he denounced Jeremiah Wright. Who didn’t he denounce, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? Apparently in Fox Newsberg they’re exactly as bad as the head of the KKK.

It is true democrats have moved left, but they didn’t want to. Obama spent two hears sending Republicans love letters, crafting Republican friendly Healthcare and stimulus bills to recruit bipartisan support.

Naturally they devoted their time to fighting him at ever turn, and calling the center right policies of the early Obama administration “socialism”. And since the right was already like 50% sure he was a Kenyan Muslim Manchurian candidate, they gobbled up that stupid spin alll day, and ended up pushing out many the moderate democrats in favor of Steve Bannon sponsored nationalists.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you haven’t watched “Divided States of America” you probably don’t understand the Obama Administration.

They are both on the radical fringes. So, all Democrats must be alt left, right?

Today I learned passing expansion of the ADA, GI Bill, and increasing the minimum wage is exactly as fringe as being the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

Any thing can be as bad anything if you just say it is.

The Democratic Party should not impose support for abortion rights as a litmus test on its candidates, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday, because it needs a broad and inclusive agenda to win back the socially conservative voters who helped elect President Trump.

“This is the Democratic Party. This is not a rubber-stamp party,” Pelosi said in an interview with Washington Post reporters.

“I grew up Nancy D’Alesandro, in Baltimore, Maryland; in Little Italy; in a very devout Catholic family; fiercely patriotic; proud of our town and heritage, and staunchly Democratic,” she added, referring to the fact that she is the daughter and sister of former mayors of that city. “Most of those people — my family, extended family — are not pro-choice. You think I’m kicking them out of the Democratic Party?”

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE US FROM THIS RADICALISM!

Today I learned the Republican Party is far right. They aren’t far enough right, you dolt.

This is one of the main problems with the left, they label everyone who doesn't vote for them as far right nazi racists
