    The media demands that Trump disavow the KKK on a daily (hourly?) basis? Why? He has spoken out against this group and other groups at least a dozen times. Whatever he does, it never satisfies the media.

    Why doesn't the media demand Obama disavow the communist groups that finance and organize the left wing protests (BLM, $15/hour, anti-Trump, etc.)?

    The bad thing is, the KKK is just one of many never ending "stories" that the Liberal media will continue to focus on.

    Anything that will attract negative Trump media, the better.

    Come to think about it, has the Liberal media shown anything positive about Trump yet? I mean, they managed to do 8 solid years of near perfect promotional coverage of Obama, why can't they do the same for Trump?

    Trump should not be asked to condemn the KKK at every corner, we already know that white nationalism is not an ideology that he personally supports, but at the same time there is a growing trend of white nationalism within the US, and we shouldn't leave it to the left alone to condemn this movement

    link to a video of him disavowing the kkk, that should be enough.... only needs to say it once...

    then the Trump supporters can just re-post that every time.... right? they should post it, that ends the discussion....

    Do you know how many members the KKK has? Five to eight thousand. You ought to find a more plausible bogeyman.

    I bet the communist party has 10x that many members, maybe 100x more. The alt left is far more dangerous than the alt right.

    What I said is there is a growing trend of white nationalism in the US, because there is. I can give you an example, David Duke has run for office before in 1988, 1992, and 2002 but he never polled high enough to make the Louisiana senate debates, until the 2016 election. There were about 10 candidates running, and he had to get support from at least 1 in 20 people polled to make the debates. This doesn't mean that 1 in 20 people are Klan members, but what it does mean is at least 1 in 20 people polled supported his ideas. Heck, many of the people on these very forums identify as being white nationalists, but I've never seen any of them identify as Klan members

    Not only should we reject white nationalism, but we also shouldn't become indifferent to it.

    It really does not matter how many times he does it, it will never be enough. Same with this alt right Nazi deal. How many time must he deny these nuts? I heard Blitzer ask the same question 8 time in a row when talking to some one in the RNC. Of course, this is just a propaganda ploy being used by MSM, trying to convince the dumbasses that trump is a racist, by not accepting trumps denials. It is so transparent at what people like Blitzer are trying to do. Of course the Hillary supporters eat this stuff up, for they will not pull the plugs out of their ears. Kind of like deafness is bliss. ha ha

    Fair enough. But why do you suppose white nationalism is on the rise?

    Liberals spend all their time dumping on white people. Are you surprised that white people are attracted to politicians who flatter them instead?

    and that's exactly why I say we shouldn't leave it to the left alone to condemn them. This isn't about crying wolf or trying to tie people to ideologies they do not support, but it seems undeniable that white nationalism is a growing trend within the US, and it shouldn't just be people on the left who are active in condemning this movement. Think of it as an opportunity to unite against a greater evil

    why should Trumo disavow the KKK or Neo-Nazis?

    they helped get him elected.

    can you name one communist candidate to poll at 1%?

    I ask this because at least one white nationalist polled at 5%.. and I don't mean that figuratively, I mean the dude was literally a white nationalist

    White nationalism is not a "greater evil".

    No worries partner, they didn't even begin to cancel out the pro-Hillary Islamo-Nazi/Communist/La Raza/BLM/Nation of Islam racist votes.

    Its not supposed to be a chore to denounce these scum. You are supposed to look forward to finding opportunities to marginalize racists. And you are supposed to be as enthusiastic about doing it in the primary season, as you are after you get elected.

    Yeah, all 200 of them.

    Now that you're back, I have an idea for a new sig for you. Here it is ...

    :flagus: :flagus: "Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead." - Hillary Clinton :flagus: :flagus:

    Exactly. The hopeful development? Not even the MSM barrage could stop people from voting for Trump. What does that say about the media's ability to hold the public's trust? Not too much. If Trump continues to do things that run counter to this delusional narrative, the media will end up tossing out any vestige of credibility they still enjoy. What happens then, I have no idea...

    The libs and the media are doing the exact opposite, working tirelessly to elevate them, keep a constant spotlight on them and portray them as a major influential force that they are not and have not been for decades.

    Right, the most pro-Israel guy in the US is the voice of white supremacists and KKK according to the libs who have clearly lost their marbles :roflol:<Mod Edit-Rule #3>

    Why is it growing? a variety of reasons, backlash to globalization, backlash to electing a black president, and bitter liberals crying wolf (Rachel Maddow calling people racist for using the term "Obamacare" comes to mind). The latter plays into the society's growing indifference to the issue, they've heard so many false alarms that when the issue actually comes around it goes largely unnoticed

    Between liberals and conservative/Democrats and Republicans, white nationalism is absolutely the greater evil, and this is an issue that the majority of Republicans and Democrats will have no problem agreeing on.

    Trump hired a Neo-Nazi homophobe as his new senior counsel.

    no wonder folks are afraid.
