Maxine Waters: “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” she said at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday. “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. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” This is the sort of tactic that folks resort to when they know they cannot win on issues. Sort of like when Dems call people racist, homophobic, xenophobic, neo Nazis, etc. Give it to Congress person Waters to appeal to the likes of Antifa radicals. Question:. Should she be censured?
Someone suggests vocally standing up to shitty policy and the people who make it and enforce it and you advocate that she be...shutdown. Are you such a candy-ass that you feel like this is somehow threatening language? I know that the average rightwinger is a fragile, hilariously easy-to-trigger snowflake, but c’mon man. Have some balls.
Sort of like the Sanders supporter who opened fire on congressional baseball practice? How would you feel if an off-the-rails conservative shot a Democrat Congress person? Or the red neck that booted Sanders from a restaurant this weekend? Can't win on facts, resort to Saul Lewinsky type tactics.
The Sanders supporter who shot that man was a criminal asshole. If a conservative criminal asshole shot a Democrat, I’d say: “what a criminal asshole! He should be arrested and tried in a court of law.” I wouldn’t say that all conservatives are like that. Kinda like how I don’t call all conservatives Nazis or fascist apologists just because some of those types like Trump. As for the person who politely asked a dishonest press secretary to leave: I wouldn’t have done it, but hey, businesses get to decide who and who not to serve. Directly confronting people in power is about as Democratic as it gets. Being violent towards them is about as anti-Democratic as it gets.
It didn’t start with her, there was someone else who paved the way for this decline. #youknowwho
Lol the people who chanted "lock her up" are the snowflakes now. And it only took two years. It's rich
Oh the irony of those folks. Wanting to 'beat' and 'lock up' a woman, led in their chanting by a proud pu**y grabber
Shouting someone down eating with their family is pretty low. I am not an attorney, but believe it's classified as assult in some jurisdictions. It wouldn't surprise me if one of these incidents ends in a serious aggravated assult...it should stop. I certainly would defend my family. I disagreed with 95% of Obama's rhetoric, but would never shout his family down...
These are civil servants who peddle in lies and inhumane behavior, and then lie about that. Their effect on the political discourse is toxic, and warrants firm resistance. Yelling “shame” at someone isn’t assault. It just isn’t. It could be disorderly conduct, sure. And that’s sort of up to the establishment in which it occurs. Now, if anyone ever gets remotely violent with anyone else—that’s a problem. A severe one. And if you’re referring to Sanders, the owner polled her employees then quietly asked her to leave. Then, Sanders tweeted about it and herself brought attention to it. As for the other woman—whatever her name is—and Miller, again, people yelling from a distance isn’t “assault” and you sound like a prissy little wimp when you suggest as much. They’re not getting in anyone’s faces. They’re not spitting on them. They’re not actively and directly calling for violence.
Hey Op, if you saw hitler dining in the same restaurant as you, would you be civil? This government puts baby’s in jails - I am fine with making their dinners miserable; All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to stay silent.
If you believe DJT is equivalent to Hitler, you are in need of a history lesson. Don't cross the boarder illegally if you don't want to part with you baby. How irresponsible is that? What country are you from?
Have you ever had any parking or speeding ticket? Because crossing the border is a misdemeanor not illegal - and if that warrants taking your kids away then a parking violation would also similarly warrant taking your kids away. Have some humanity and empathy, don’t hide behind legal verbiage. It was legal to own slaves , it was legal to segregate, doesn’t make it right.
I don’t think she should be silenced. I think anyone had the right to say whatever they want even if it is wrong. I think the larger issue is people will use this for their 15 minutes of social media fame.
Rightie snowflakes triggered because Waters is rightly calling for people to call them on their bullshit. You guys are such pussies.
How about you reply with your home address, so folks can harrass you at home too for your socialist thoughts?
Tell you what. If I choose to be a public figure that incites hatred certain demographic and political groups, it’s a deal. I’ll post my cell phone number too.
Do you need a safe space for Nazis? Are you deeply frightened of an elderly woman?
Everything this little shitbag has said suggests that he is.
What's with you Socialists and the Natzi BS? Vote, don't turn violent...you are too politically ignorant to perhaps understand, but your speach is like a get out the Trump vote rally...fire em up!
I think you fail to understand that people aren't saying that Trump and company are full on Nazis everytime they compare these internment camps to the holocaust, they are merely comparing it to one of the nearest historical events where groups of undesirables were forced into mass camps. There's been a lot of comparisons understandably to how we forced Japanese families into internment camps. Is that comparison allowed? Why or why not?
I don't think you have the slightest understanding of the political dynamic of the left if you think that antifa or far leftists give any shits about what maxine waters says. On a different note, OP, you know that this happened 6 years ago with Biden? He was turned away at a bakery and conservative politicians were absolutely gleeful about it: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny-news-biden-baker-sarah-huckabee-red-hen-20180626-story.html The difference is that Obama/Biden didn't turn it into a culture war.
First, the Biden advance team asked to use the restaurant for a Photo opportunity...a Political event. There is a huge difference between that and asking a quiet family to leave or shouting down another member of the cabinet dinning with her husband. The other big difference is that a sitting member of Congress publicly called for the recent shout-downs. Too early to tell, but they are likely funded by the likes of George Soros and MoveOn.org. if I had to guess, you are 25 and still living with your parents. BTW, the invectives don't phase most of us conservatives...but keep calling us Natzis and the like if it makes you feel better :-)
First of all, I didn't use any invectives and nor did I call you "Natzis." Second, that's not a true depiction of what happened. He just wanted to order some food, he wasn't expecting to hold a rally or a meeting. Anytime the vice president of the United States goes out in public he's going to be surrounded by secret service and reporters. So yes, pictures will be taken wherever he goes... That doesn't make every part of his day political. Here's an article from when it happened: https://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/22/va-baker-is-in-the-spotlight-at-ryan-rally/?mtrref=t.co Also, I'd like to point out that you're the one who has jumped to personal attacks first. It's always fun when the ones who complain about "declining discourse" are the biggest perpetrators. Cheers, man.
The question is should trump be censured for all his hate rhetoric?
Stay on topic
Ah yes the old, don’t look at the terrible things we’ve already done. Let’s explore the hypothetical realities of someone attempting to shame the shameless... 🙄
