Trump started talking about kicking people out of events after a DNC black op where  their hired-gun minions attacked Trump supporters then claimed victim-hood status in the aftermath. A swift kick was exactly what they deserved.

 

Since we have the longstanding memes 'Radical conservatives' and 'Radical Islamists', can we finally use the very overdue 'Radical liberalism?'

 

How about you stop the deplorable act of using a shooting for political purposes ? Also stop getting your news from twitter and breitbart unless you like making a fool out of yourself.

It doesn't even make logical sense, If you get to use this shooting to badmouth all liberals then liberals get to use any of the hundreds of attacks on minorities last year to badmouth conservatives.

Moving the goal posts I see. Trump used rhetoric that is no different then what you are trying to point fingers at. If rhetoric on one side is bad, it's equally bad on the other, period. Grow up and have the integrity to admit that, otherwise you're admitting to being a hypocrite. So which one is it DocM?

Imho a big chunk of the progressives are radicals by default.

Quote

As historical Radicalism became absorbed in the development of political liberalism, in the later 19th century in both the United Kingdom and in continental Europe the term "Radical" came to denote a progressive liberal ideology.

 

Many European parties that are nowadays categorised in the group of social-liberal parties have a historical affinity with radicalism and may therefore be called "liberal-radical".

GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line 'One down, 216 to go...' after lawmaker shooting

 

The office of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) received a threatening email with the subject line “One down, 216 to go…,” shortly after a shooter opened fire on GOP lawmakers who were at a congressional baseball practice, according to her office.

If they are longing for a civil war so much, maybe they should study some history, starting with America's own civil war, then throw in some French and Russian revolutions. And if they still haven't had enough, send them to Syria so they can see with their own eyes what it looks like.

A progressive ideas are often feared by those who are comfortable with the way their life is, and those progressives are often viewed as extremists, and radical.

There are two paths of development: a natural one and a progressive or a radical one which isn't really a path, but a jump over vital segments of a natural course of history, a skipping.

 

Just as you can't skip grades in school, the humanity can't skip its own stages of development.

And those same conservatives have, in fact, CRITICIZED those attacks - as no less than Speaker Ryan - along with Sen. Sanders - criticized today's attack.  Neither side is all that clean - and DocM has not claimed otherwise.  (Neither have I, for that matter.)  The ONLY side that has claimed to be clean are the far-left fringe - which just lost Bernie today.

Liberals who didn't speak out against them when these memes appeared in liberal social media, then perpetuated them elsewhere, share responsibility for this state of affairs. No different than what many of you have said about 'moderate Muslims.'

And exactly what did President Trump do - other than getting elected?  If that is enough, than what does that say about extremism - regardless of stripe?

Follow the topic. As per DocM logic he doesn't have to do anything bar say a few inflammatory things about muslims and it doesn't even matter if we quote mine him.

I don't believe this is the case because its asinine but I'm just trying to drag our friend kicking and screaming into being an adult and dropping this childish talking point.

You're kidding right?  Those laws don't prevent someone entering the state with guns or even prevent purchasing them.  Laws can't totally prevent criminals or the mentally unstable or anyone else from committing heinous acts.

 

Anyway, take it here if you want to discuss guns - Gun Debate Thread

Who said anything about President Trump, TPreston - other than you and primortal (in an attempt to deflect)?

You are basically playing "blame the victim" by painting the GOP Congressman who was critically wounded and the other GOP Congresspersons that were practicing for the game as the guilty parties.  That is not logical one whit.  Do you REALLY think that ANY branch of government should literally surrender to blackmail-at-gunpoint?  That is EXACTLY what such acts amount to - it would make just as much sense to surrender to the Klan - which even THEY would not dare expect.  For that matter, read President Trump's comments ABOUT the shooting - since you seem so sure that they are a match in a tinderbox.

Wow you completely failed to follow the thread and made a completely unrelated rambling. Well done.

[PGHammer]

Because I refuse to stoop to the TPreston brand of illogic and lack of common sense.  No - if YOUR lack of logic is going to be the thread, darn RIGHT I'm not going there - as there is nothing the least bit logical about it.  I refuse to be a cheerleader for a group that deserves none such.  Extremism (and especially violent extremism) has NO place in politics - and especially not within the United States - none whatever.

You are starting to sound as warped as the shooter. It was Trump who egged on his supporters to attack protesters, all through the election. He aligned himself with the KKK and other hate groups. The endless attacks for 8 years on the first black president. What do you expect would happen? When you marginalize people long enough, they strike back. I think it's wrong but that's what happens.  

 

Save your worthless words. The same people who are complaining today are the same people who said nothing when it was Obama and the left getting threats. Nobody is buying them.
