    Well, we know she has zero class and will sink to any depths to collect that paycheck. But this one is truly nauseating.

    https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/10/29/po...ty-fox-news/index.html?r=https://www.cnn.com/

    "Washington (CNN) — Kellyanne Conway cited "anti-religiosity" on Monday in discussing the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
    Her comments came as she was discussing the shooting and the need to remember the victims on Fox News' "Fox & Friends."
    "The anti-religiosity in this country that is somehow in vogue and funny, to make fun of anybody of faith. To constantly be making fun of people who expresses religion," said Conway, who serves as counselor to President Donald Trump.
    "The late night comedians. The un-funny people on TV shows. It's always anti-religious. And remember, these people were gunned down in their place of worship. As were the people in South Carolina several years ago. And they were there because they're people of faith and it's that faith that needs to bring us together," she continued."
    .........................

    Actually Kelly, this shooter was .Christian Nationalist. This was not about anti-religiosity. This about hate fueld by religion. This is precisely the time to keep god out of the public square. This is precisely the time to remind and assure everyone that we will not tolerate religion-fueled hatred and that all views, religious or not, are welcome. For her to try to blame anti-relogiosity is disgusting, dishonest, and a ploy to appeal to people's hate.

    Religion doesn't fuel hate. That's Trump's job.

    No, he self identified as such, apparently. But thanks for asking! I believe his words were, "k1ke infestation".

    Do you need the term to be defined for you?

    I think shooting up the Jewish people proves he was anti-Jewish...he also apparently opposed Jewish refugees, fleeing terrorist in the Middle East.

    He identified as a nationalist and said this is a Christian nation. He complained of the k1ke infestation and of all other religions, quote scripture in the process. He believed this should be a Christian nation, and other religions should be purged.

    Maybe you agree with all of this, and simply don't like the label?

    No question he was anti Jewish. Just not sure any evidence he was anti Israel. But time will tell. And hevwas anti the caravan. Do wonder how much is shooting was motivated by the claims that Soros eas behing the caravan.

    Conway's comments were completely reasonable and accurate, most importantly general and not aimed at dividing anyone. Unlike LW hyperbole, she didn't attempt to blame any specific person. Big difference.

    All while the Left grits and breaks its teeth failing to blame the Synagogue shooting directly on the President somehow, fomenting more and more division, when the "fake pipe bomb scare" ended up a nothingburger.

    On other fronts, campuses and the net are full of foamy leftists hailing Israel as an evil state and "Palestinians" as oppressed indigenous peoples... but sure TRUMPDIDIT!

    Not surprised the distinction escapes TDS sufferers. Hypocrites.

    The meaning is easy the motivation is harder. Although sometimes understanding what a simple phrase means to a deranged mind isn't as easy as some would think.

    “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house," - Al Sharpton

    "Hymie-town" Jesse Jackson

    Obama and Biden abandoning of Irsael.

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-official-accuses-obama-kerry-of-abandoning-israel/

    "The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank closely aligned with the White House, is embroiled in a dispute with several Jewish organizations over charges that some center staffers have publicly used language that could be construed as anti-Israel or even anti-Semitic."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli.../gIQAcrHXAQ_story.html?utm_term=.778ccd91958a

    "anddon't you forget, when it's God who puts you in the ovens, it's forever!" Louis Farrakhan...pal of Obama, Clintons, and Ellison.

    Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man." - another from Louis Farrakahn.


    The rise of anti-Semitic behavior started years ago, and went ignored by the Obama Admin:https://www.clintonherald.com/news/...cle_1a3589e5-cd3f-5c54-969b-2c7112ae5f42.html

    With this sort of behavior and embrace of the hate, it's no wonder we see this anti-Trump, anti-Israel man behaving in this manner. We must stop the anti-religious behavior from the left.

    She cited anto-religiosity as a cause. This was and is, obviously, utter garbage and she should be ridiculed for it.

    Of course, as anyone knows, anti-Semitism is virulent among the hard right nationalists.

    Folks that are far out there....not leaders of the party...like Obama, Sharton, and Jackson...who all were nominees for your party's Presidential elections at some point, The DNC embraces it...the GOP rejects it.

    He didn't "follow anti-faith rhetoric." He followed alt-right white nationalist, anti-globalist, anti-immigrant rhetoric. And no, the DNC didn't "boo God." So basically nothing about your post was correct.

    Watch the video...that's pretty clear...you saying it didn't happen in the face of that truth, makes the rest of your post uncrediable
