So Fox's website is totally ignoring Trump's comments from yesterday and the blowback he is getting. Not a single word about them on their homepage this morning.
Oh and it wasn't an "attack" it was a "car crash".
I'm sorry, but f-that. After years of the drumbeat of you must say "Radical Islamic Terriorist" every time a terrorist attack happens or somehow you are standing with them calling it a "car crash" vs an "attack" is just bull shit.
Uses Gadsden flag and has no issues with treading on the rights of minorities. Typical.
You might want to direct all this analysis inward. You reek of projection.Let your guilt flow through you.
A couple of gems from the fox comments:

Kushner/Soros liberals are out of the WH. Bannon has won by orchestrating this great day for WHITE RIGHTS. TRUMP has to listen to those of us who put him in the WH> BANNON will throw IVANKA and KUSHNER out. No zionists!!

The people of this country hired a black president thinking that it would stop racial tension in this country. Not only did it not stop it clearly increased during the years of Odumbos reign of racism.
So because police officers abuse their powers, I'm at guilt by association? Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh, and to think that police abuse is limited to black people is ignorant and racist. Did you grow up in some sort of rich part of town? Have you ever walked the walk, or been interrogated because your just walking down a fucking street? Have your license taking away because your license plate light was dim?
You guys have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
Damn, Zin...tell us how you REALLY feel...
Those monuments were the defacement of our history. They were put up by white supremacists seeking to rewrite their own loss in the Civil War, and get a win through the back door of Jim Crow. This stain needs to be wiped once and for all. If you want to start a museum of racist traitor statues, you can can have them, but prominent public places should give no quarter to them.Why now after 150+ years?
Why now has American's hatred for one another come to this point to deface our own history? To literally attack the post-war reunion of the States by dishonoring those we previously chose to live with and forgive? You treat all Southerners the same, all are guilty of terrorist acts, all are white supremacists? So fuck them all, is that it?
Clearly that is why such a thing would motivate anyone to escalate their hatred for the South. For its symbols, for its history. Because for some reason it has been decided that it can no longer be tolerated 150+ years after. I guess you know better than those who fought the Civil War, and their resolution to it wasn't good enough. That America shouldn't have healed the way it did afterwards so you'll take that reunification and do what you can to erase it.
General Robert E. Lee was an American. Lee wrote to a former Confederate soldier: “This war, being at an end, the Southern States having laid down their arms, and the questions at issue between them and the Northern States having been decided, I believe it to be the duty of everyone to unite in the restoration of the country and the reestablishment of peace and harmony.”
Just 42 years ago this is how Americans reflected on Lee:
President Ford said: “As a soldier, Gen. Lee left his mark on military strategy. As a man, he stood as the symbol of valor and of duty. As an educator, he appealed to reason and learning to achieve understanding and to build a stronger nation. The course he chose after the war became a symbol to all those who had marched with him in the bitter years towards Appomattox.”
Some additional reading. House restores citizenship to Robert E. Lee, July 22, 1975. The 407-10 vote came after a campaign spearheaded by Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. (D-Va.). President Gerald R. Ford's Remarks Upon Signing
Congress was united in honoring our country by honoring its past. By honoring an American General for his service and his character.
Today Americans are apparently more concerned with escalating aggression against one another. This behavior sickens me.
No more than you do, "fucktard".
Honestly though, when I see h8 its usually from the left. They hate this, they hate that. They are so damn negative.
Well said. I don't mind such monuments at battlefields (although both sides should be represented since the Confederacy was fighting America) but outside of museums and memorial battlefields, such statues and monuments and flags have no valid place on government property. Nor do I understand why Southerners even want them, as it is the South's most shameful period. It would be like someone demanding a statue commemorating that time he got drunk and tried to screw the dog; while it's good not to forget it (and therefore possibly repeat it), it's certainly not something to celebrate.Those monuments were the defacement of our history.

Food bank, clothes, money, hours of my time, soup kitchen. The only thing I haven't done is do the mentor program.
If you're strictly talking about money, the right, as you guys seem to call it donate quite a bit more money to charity.

Agreed. Although I don't think the aim is straightforward revising of history as much as whitewashing it to remove the stigma attached to the South's position. I think morally and effectively that would be even worse than simply removing all evidence that the Civil War even occurred. We have a much greater chance of repeating evil if we remove the stigma than if we simply forget we have done it before.There's that and considering what these monuments mean for black Americans. They're spit in the eye -- imagine if your ancestors were slaves and you have to walk by a statue celebrating the Confederacy for defending "states' rights" (read: defending slavery) while completely omitting any mention of your community's suffering. Removing monuments from these outdoor public spaces is as much about respecting black people as it is eliminating support for revisionist history.

It seems to fit the textbook definition of it, without any stretch of the definition
- the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Either you have free speech or you dont.
It's an attempt to gain publicity & actually be relevant. They're not, of course, other than in their overt support of Trumpolini. They're more of a liability than an asset even to him simply because swastikas are a big turnoff to the vast majority of Americans.
If this was supposed to be a show of strength then they failed miserably.
Those statues are so few and far between. Are there more than a handful left anymore?
