Straight Answer to a Tough Question: Taking a Knee in the NFL

A senatorial candidate answers it directly, even though I doubt his answer will be popular where he is running.

It’s funny when most of the candidates running know their constituents would prefer that trump drown in the Potomac river than continue to infest the White House. It’s a clear sign of a weak president.

Trump is not a weak President.

Be easier if y’all stop making the protest about the flag and troops and tell the police to ease up on fucking wth black people before the cops stop discriminating and start fucking with YOU on the regular.

And he was right.

But it would be a start, Kiid.

Trump is not a weak President.

You can keep believing that, if you would like.

His bluster suggests otherwise. Ditto his actions.

Says the man who pulls out Goebbels "comparisons" at the drop of a hat.

Shut up, you sanctimonious twit.
Heh. You use that after your previous post? Not only are you a hypocrite, you're a moron too.

Listen, Pikesville Putz, as a Jew, you either stand by what I write regarding the flippant use of the term, or you don't.
The fact is, you agree with what I wrote, but because I wrote it, you decide to take issue with it.

Your inability to separate the message from the messenger is well documented.

So shut up, you sanctimonious hypocritical twit.

Ignore list fillin up.

Ostrich behavior doesn't work, kid.

kid is hoping to get measured for a tailored brown shirt...

Careful now, Godwin.

Godwin says calling Nazis Nazis is okay.

Kid is no more a Nazi than you are a communist.

Besides, such flippant references and the casual use of the term diminish the abhorent horror perpetrated by the real Nazis.

As a Jew, you should know better than that.

End of lecture.

I have no idea what Kiid does away from here.

I know he actively supports a white nationalist antisemite. I know that he denies the racist is a racist.

So, he might not be a Nazi - I was responding to the Godwin comment more than the Nazi comment:
Quote
By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you.
or
Quote
In December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: "If you're thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump, or any other politician."

Don't cite Godwin if you don't want Godwin's opinion on the use of Nazis to describe these folks.

You are sidestepping the issue, and attempting (weakly) to defend what you know in your heart of hearts is wrong.
The fact that you DON'T KNOW who kid really is and what he does away from "here" is exactly why you're wrong to sling the term so readily.

You know, you love to harp on Trump for how he willfully misrepresents his foes, political and otherwise, but "here" you are doing the same thing.

Kid is a good person, a family man, and you don't have to agree with him politically or elsewise, but the way you and others "here" go after him is as weak-minded and disgusting as anything Captain Orange does in his role as POTUS.

Consider that maybe YOU are as much of the problem in our modern world of political discourse as those you so vehemently and decisively oppose.

Sorry, chum. You've forfeited the right to take umbrage at "he's a Nazi" posts. Maybe one of your other posting personas can do so.

Flippant?

If you back this administration, you back white supremacy PERIOD!

Or did you sleep through the ersatz Nuremberg torch rally at UVA where the marchers chanted, ‘Blood and Soil!’ and ‘Jews will not replace us!’?

Jews should know to be on alert, we’ve seen this movie before.

I think intellligent people should be on alert.

I'm not sure religious affiliation is required to see disturbing behavior of an authoritarian leader and draw historic parallels.

As an aside, I would hope that members of all faiths be on alert to attacks on our democracy, and voice strong outrage.

And fucking vote.
