9-11: some people did something

Let’s try this...

Slavery: some people had some unpaid servants

The Holocaust: some guy killed some Jews

Here’s a good one... “There were bad people on both sides.”

Let’s face it, klam - she pulls the same crap as Trump but you defend her. She minimized 9-11.... I don’t know why you would minimize people who take offense at that. I know you aren’t a choad, so why do you act like one?

Do you think criticism of what she said is inciting violence, or is the overreaction only on the part of the people who are criticizing what she said?

Comedian dies on stage: 'The audience thought it was part of the act'
Comedian Ian Cognito died during a stand-up act in which he joked about dying on stage and then fell silent while the audience continued laughing, thinking it was a joke.

"Imagine if I died in front of you lot here," Cognito, 60, joked on stage during his set Thursday. Andrew Bird, who runs the Lone Wolf Comedy Club in Bicester, England, told the BBC: "Everyone in the crowd, me included, thought he was joking. Even when I walked on stage and touched his arm I was expecting him to say 'boo'."

Category angry millennials, Alex.

CNN Link

The man arrested for allegedly pushing or throwing a child from the third floor of the Mall of America in Minnesota had been banned from the mall in the past and once told police he had anger issues, court records show.

Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, 24, was charged with attempted homicide after witnesses said a man either pushed or threw the 5 -year-old child on Friday morning from the Bloomington mall's third interior level to its first, police said.

In August 2015, witnesses saw Aranda smashing computers on the floor of a Minneapolis library, causing about $5,000 in damage, according to a 2015 complaint. Police were called and arrested him without incident after finding him at a bus stop across the street.

She's fair game, but so are the critiques. I defend her because it's not as if there's a shortage of muslim hatred in America.

I just get tired of the extremism from both sides. There was a call on social media to put a bullet in her head.
Fighting extremism with extremism only works if you're willing to kill them all. Otherwise, the moderates and concepts of liberalism are the best means of de-radicalizing islam. Being severely triggered or issuing threats because she didn't use the right verbage doesn't help.

The problem is Islam, unlike every other religion in existence presently, has not reformed...
and they collectively (77%) see any reformation attempts as blasphemy

Islam continues to prove it is not compatible with the world today
as your hero Jordan Peterson says:
"Mohammed was a warlord and I just don't know what to do about that"

Conversely the bulk of Islamic Nations, Muslims flee from en mas
Because they are brutal dumpster fires and unrelentingly backwards

so we have this problem... and it's spreading
and this Islamic politician you defend does not hide her loyalties
yet simultaneously she would flee from an Islamic Nation

She is here but she is not with you kalm (make no mistake)

Sarcasm noted, but the only attacks on Congresscritters in recent times have been against Conks.

I find this faux outrage quite comical when you consider most of the incendiary language has come from the left side of the aisle. You don't have to go any further back than Eric Holder, Michelle Obama, Mad Maxine, Corey Booker, and The Hildabeast just as a start.

"No, no, no," he said. "When they go low, we kick them. That's what this new Democratic Party is about."
--Eric Holder

"I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be, when people realize that this is a policy that they defend,"
--Nancy Pelosi

"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd," Waters screamed. "And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere!"

"These members of [President Trump's] Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store, the people are going to turn on them," she said. "They're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them..."

--Maxine Waters

"get up in the face of some Congresspeople."

--Corey Booker

"You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,"

--The Hildabeast


That took like literally 5 minutes.

As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about. :silly:

It’s funny how you back away from this while throwing down straw men as fast as you can

What extremism exactly is on display from people like Dan Crenshaw who are criticizing Omar, klam?

A couple times now you’ve suggested people were acting like drama queens and now you’re resting on a social media post? Do you know how many of those Trump gets daily? (Oh my goodness! Someone actually threatened a Congresscritter on social media.... it’s Trumps fault!!!)

Criticizing people who minimize crimes of terrorism, genocide, and crimes against humanity is not extreme. And that is all her prominent critics have done.

All the tweets from 2020 Dem hopefuls are essentially saying that any public criticism of Omar is inciting violence and is rooted in Islamophobia. This is what you are defending.
