Donald Trump Supporter Launches 'Incredibly Violent Attack' On BBC Cameraman At El Paso Rally

Ok, but did post about this incident, condemning it, or was your general phrase just it

 

Thurmond and Helms held on to their segregation beliefs!!!

You are going out of your way to make excuses and cast apsersion!!!!

 

Yep, yep. An 'Incredibly Violent Attack' it was for sure, twice almost knocked them ova!!! '

What a snowflakes!

 

I am pointing out that when DP apologists insist that the Dixiecrats all joined the RP they were telling a Big Lie.
Almost all of Dixiecrats remained in the DP.

I checked Thurmond. You appear to be wrong about him holding on to his "segregation beliefs". So, you are probably wrong about Helms as well.

"In August 1989, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted evenly on the nomination of William C. Lucas for Assist Attorney General for Civil Rights, terminating the nomination that required a majority to proceed to the entirety of the chamber. Among his support, Thurmond noted that Lucas was a minority, and reflected on their lack of opportunities in years prior, adding, "I know down South they didn't and up North either. We had de jure segregation and up North you had de facto segregation. There was segregation in both places, and black people didn't have the chance in either place that they should have had. Now's the chance to give them a chance." Wiki.

 

Oh yeah, Helms was innocent!!!
It was easy to find this info. Don't forget what he said about Clinton either!!! No republican even called him out on it.

Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) set off a bipartisan tempest Tuesday by warning that President Clinton had "better watch out" for his safety if he travels to military bases in North Carolina, prompting the White House to suggest that Helms be denied chairmanship of a key Senate committee.

After GOP leaders delicately distanced themselves from Helms' provocative remarks and Democrats loudly demanded an apology, the fiercely combative lawmaker, who is in line to chair the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, conceded that his comments had been "a mistake."

But he stopped well short of a genuine apology. "Of course, I didn't expect to be taken literally," he said in a prepared statement.

Look at the effort to integrate the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by Clinton. Helms was steadfast in his effort to block an African-American's appointment to the seat. He and others claimed it was because the court didn't need an additional judge and spending the money was wasteful. But it was evident that Helms didn't want an African-American sitting on what some called the most conservative federal appeals court in the nation.

And no one can forget the overt racism he displayed when running for re-election for the U.S. Senate against former Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt in 1990 and 1996. Realizing he could lose in 1990, Helms agreed to an ad by Republican strategist Alex Castellanos that showed a white hand destroying a job application with an announcer saying that person needed the job but it was given to a minority.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Helms
Helms opposed busing, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.[324][325][326][327] Helms called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress", and sponsored legislation to either extend it to the entire country or scrap it altogether.[186] In 1982, he voted against the extension of the Voting Rights Act.[328]

Helms reminded voters that he tried, with a 16-day filibuster, to stop the Senate from approving a federal holiday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,[270] although he had fewer reservations about establishing a North Carolina state holiday for King.[328] He has been accused of being a segregationist by some political observers and scholars, such as USA Today's DeWayne Wickham who wrote that Helms "subtly carried the torch of white supremacy" from Ben Tillman.[329][330][331][332]

In 1996 the Department of Justice admonished Helms' 1990 campaign for mailing 125,000 postcards to households in predominantly African-American precincts warning them (incorrectly) that they could go to jail if they had not updated their addresses on the electoral register since moving.[333]

Besides opposing civil rights and affirmative action legislation, Helms blocked many black judges from being considered for the federal bench, and black appointees to positions of prominence in the Federal Government. In one instance, he blocked attempts by President Bill Clinton over a period of years to appoint a black judge on the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.[328] Only when Helms' own judicial choices were threatened with blocking did attorney Roger Gregory of Richmond, Virginia get confirmed.[328]

 

Why not add another fallacy to the pile.

 

I will take that as a no!!!

 

And liberals still love segregation today. You don't see conservatives at UCLA calling for all black dorms do you? Segregation is a left wing ideology that democrats kept to this day. All those who stayed in the DNC still were segregationist.https://www.dailywire.com/news/783/ucla-will-consider-afrikan-union-demands-afro-pardes-seleh

 

So I will just assume that you condone 100% of what you haven't condemned. I already posted my position.

 

Oh yeah, Republicans are the party of compassion

 

Well, if you define "compassion" as "giving everyone everything without working for it", then I guess your sarcasm would be wrong. And don't claim that the dems haven't advocated for that cause it was in AOC's green new deal.

 

"Oh yeah, Helms was innocent!!!" LOL! You just made that up! I said nothing about Helm's "innocence", and did
did not bother to research Helms after I discovered you were wrong about Thurmond.

It is all about credibility.

Again, contrary to the Big Lie almost all of the Dixiecrats remained in the DP.

"No, only 3 of the 20+ switched to the GOP. Most stayed democrat or went independent.

Those who stayed.
Orval Fabus
Benjamin Travis Laney
John Stennis
James Eastland
Allen Ellender
Russell Long
John Sparkman
John McClellan
Richard Russell
Herman Talmadge
George Wallace
Lester Maddox
John Rarick
Robert Byrd
Al Gore, Sr.
Bull Connor

Those who changed.
Thurmond, Helms, and Godwin"

 

Republican and Democrat pols show little evidence of any real compassion.
Democrat pols are often rather adept at projecting Fake Compassion.

 

The DP has always been the party of systemic racist hate in America. Black Americans are finally catching on to the scam. Hence Trump.

"I believe that California’s Democratic Party is in the middle of a morals and values crisis. Our party no longer reflects the interests of the people it serves and many of its members are disillusioned.

That’s not the kind of political party I want to belong to. One that sees the lives of Black people as being expendable. As Black Democrats, that is not the type of return we expect on our years of investing in the Democratic Party with our votes.

If Gemmel Moore had been a white male or female  —  I seriously doubt the Party leadership would have been able to sweep it under the rug the way they so carelessly and deliberately did."

i was referring to the condemnation of violence due to policy, political or social. in addition i was pointing out the individual posters, because i also have thanked or noted the ones that do.

 

you keep repeating this, something i am not arguing.

 

keep feeding the monsters under your bed.

 

Ty, that was not clear to me.

Trump's approval numbers among black Americans are rising because it has become more and more obvious since his murder that Malcolm X was right.

"Any time you throw your weight behind a political party that controls two-thirds of the government, and that party can't keep the promise that it made to you during election-time, and you're dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that party, you're not only a chump but you're a traitor to your race. [applause]

What kind of alibi do come up with? They try and pass the buck to the ***Dixiecrats***. Now, back during the days when you were blind, deaf and dumb, ignorant, politically immature, naturally you went along with that. But today, as your eyes come open, and you develop political maturity, you're able to see and think for yourself, and you can see that a Dixiecrat is nothing but a Democrat – in disguise. [applause]

You look at the structure of the government that controls this country, is controlled by 16 senatorial committees and 20 congressional committees. Of the 16 senatorial committees that run the government, 10 of them are in the hands of southern segregationists. Of the 20 congressional committees that run the government, 12 of them are in the hands of southern segregationists. And they're going to tell you and me that the South lost the war? [laughter, applause]"

Please stop pretending to be so naive.

“Politics in modern America has become a lucrative business, an industry that has less to do with policy and a lot more to do with accessing money and favors. … bills and regulations are often introduced not to affect policy change, but as vehicles for shaking down people for … money and favors. Indeed, the motive on both sides often has nothing to do with creating a “correct” policy but instead is often about maximizing profits.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 4.

Virtually everyone knows how the corrupt bipartisan ruling political class works now.
It has been fully exposed.

 

Would you have respected them more if they had turned around and shot the assailant or beat him to a bloody pulp?

Maybe that would be a less "snowflakey" response?

 

A push is a violent attack? Lmfao.

 

No.

Incredibly violent.

 

Even worse than fisty cuffs at dawn !

 

Not respecting, my friend but at least in my view, OP would have been justified to call "Trump Supporter Launches 'Incredibly Violent Attack"

 

And the Ed Buck thing just keep's getting worse.

Former gay porn star who died in Ed Buck’s home told friends the Democrat donor was ‘the f---ing devil’ and a ‘horrible man’ before he was found dead.
