    ...compared with Nazis.

    Sure, there are a lot of liberals working for NPR. But they are, from the point of view of this liberal, annoyingly even handed and have righties on all the time.

    I think you are correct, but it also can bring awareness and and discussion that can lead to improvements.

    I know you don't agree that the president should have said more, but forego that bent for moment. I want people to understand that words of the president have consequences. By showing that daily stormer shit, and how the white surpremisists feel emboldened by Trump not immediately condemning them, that stormer shit might have what I view as a positive effect and convince someone that what the president communicates matters.

    You may dissagree with me but I believe the more we sweep this issue under the rug and claim it's just a tiny group not influenced or emboldened by those in power placating them for votes, the worse off we will be.

    After WWII many holocaust museums put Nazi propaganda exhibits up. Was that offensive and promote hatemongets? Yes, but I'm sure you can see the reasons why it was still a worthwhile exhibit.

    I saw that you replied to me and was expecting something far more troublesome that your quite funny response.

    Cheers

    I wonder if the pope could do something about the Catholic Church molesting kids. Hmmmmm I wonder if anybody could do anything. These things will continue to happen. Nobody can stop them. You can't stop people with extreme ideologies. It just doesn't work.

    Some of you really giving trump way too much credit. Acting like he really plays this chess game. He's an egomaniac that wants to be liked. Never seen him endorse the kkk or anything but I'm sure there are people in powerful positions who are fooling you right now and put on that robe outside the office. Incase you didn't know,powerful people have been doing weird shit forever outside the office. Bohemian grove for instance. Skull and bones, etc. these are proven real places where weird shit happens and the most powerful people are involved, this is who you put your daily energy into? I just don't get it. Like I said when this thread even started, you're just giving this specific minority in America more power, so they will plan these rallies across the states and do the same shit. Then antifa will show up and all out war will happen. Alt let and alt right are both retarded but some people in here give them way too much attention and care. They are the minority and degenerates of the country. Nothing good has ever came from either one.

    How is he emboldening them? Probably shouldn't said both sides, probably should of focused on one but you guys act like dude came out and said "great job kkk, keep doing what you're doing". Everything trump has done or said in office is an overreaction. Everything. I mean yeah I disagree with how he goes about things but I'm not gonna make insane assumptions saying he's emboldening these people.

    This might be related to the news that Rupert Murdoch apparently told Trump to ditch Bannon.

    Well have you seen David Duke's tweets? How about the Daily Reporter? That's what they hear is that Trump's on their side. He is defending white supremacists as "fine people" in his comments today and saying at least the white supremacists had a permit, which is more than he can say for the counter protest. Emboldened.

    What is this horseshit about David duke endorsing him? He can't control that David duke endorses him. You are the second person on this forum I have seen say this. I don't get it.

    I think a major problem these days is, people shun religion.
    When I see some of the bitches about what the President says, it strikes me as odd.
    It seems some need a priest to point the way to morality but they expect it in a sound byte from a one stop clip of the day.

    1) It's not surprising that he would endorse you when you say that white supremacists are fine people, 2) Duke's tweets and Daily Stormer or whatever the hell it is called shows that White Supremacists are emboldened by Donald Trump's words. That was my answer to your question.

    So if @PedoBlazerFan1 comes on here and says you are the best and smartest Blazer fan in the world you're going to be fine with that? Or are you going to say fuck off you child fucking piece of shit and don't ever mention my name again?

    (and yes, I would ban that person so you could personally insult them.)

    You saying that he says they are fine people is the same as when people say there is a Russia collusion. Point me to where he said that. I don't know how they are so emboldened by his words when he doesn't sit and praise white supremacists.
