    Fabrications will not help you win a debate

    After telling her she should go back to her country and not tell him how to run the country (despite being a congresswoman).

    People are still arguing that Trump isn’t racist?

    Just be thankful he brought the cockroaches out with him.

    I have to disagree man. It's not a fabrication. These things are widely reported and on twitter and recorded on easy to find video. And she is more than welcome to leave if she seems to hate America, and that's not a new thing Americans say to malcontents. She hates America very clearly and she does so based on her rhetoric that puts it in the same camp as terrorist groups. If you are too stubborn to admit what is before you eyes, it's on you. But don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. It's very clear who she is. While you disagree, let me ask you this. Should the dems rally around her and the squad, making them the face of the party? Is that a good look to beat Trump? Tell me your thoughts on that.

    Do people that hate Obamacare (and there are plenty of them) hate America? Do people that hated Obama's policies and the Democratic agenda hate America?

    It’s clear to you that Omar is an anti-Semite but it’s not clear to you that Trump is a racist.

    Your assertions are only agreed to by the extreme right. It's a total fabrication to say that she sympathizes with terrorists. You can take what she says out of context all you want but it doesn't change the facts of what she really was saying. She doesn't hate America, that's the false narrative you and those in your echo chamber tell yourself.

    The democrats have no face of the party because it is a party of diversity - with a broad spectrum of views and people united under a belief that gov't should serve the interests of all people. The Republicans are a party that gov't should serve white hetero men and the rich.

    Criticizing Israel is not being an anti-Semite. Bernie criticizes Israel too, it’d be news to him that he’s an antisemite.

    Conservatives these days need some basic logic education. They do insane mental gymnastics to connect point A to point B but can’t see why this is clearly racist.

    Maybe all this is a justification for your inner racism?

    Rand Paul blocked US military funding to Israel, which is no surprise as he is against giving military aids in general. He is also against bills and executive orders that penalize companies that boycott Israel. He also block bill that penalize companies and countries that boycott or sanction Israel. He has been attacked by pro Israel lobby groups and there is bipartisan disagreement with him on these policies. But no one tell him that he hates America, is anti-Semite, is anti-Israel, or to leave.

    Ps. If your source of info is easy to find video and twitter, you are most likely embedded deep inside an echo chamber.

    I don't believe your premise is well thought out.

    1. Anti-Israel is not antisemitic.
    2. Would someone who hates the United States sacrifice their time, career, privacy, family time, and knowingly subject themselves to the kind of hatred and bile that she is receiving in order to serve in the Congress?
    3. Or would that be more in line with someone who is grateful to America and believes they have ideas to help the nation and improve areas of policy with which they don't agree as well as give voice to Americans that are often underserved and under-represented?


    Again thank of what she was knowingly subjecting herself to, and everything that she has to sacrifice in order to serve. She had to do all of that with the possibility she might not have even been elected. Do you know how much work it is to run a campaign? Yet she did it.

    There is the possibility that she was doing in the hopes of making connections to use for personal financial gain. Has she been in bed with lobbyists and turning her office into business opportunities? If not, then it just isn't realistic to think someone would make all of those sacrifices and do all of that work because they hate the United States. That just isn't likely and makes very little sense.

    I think if you actually thought about for a few minutes, you would realize that people who hate the country don't usually make those sacrifices and put in that kind of work on the gamble that they might win office to serve a nation that they hate.

    Her rhetoric in no way puts her in the same camp as terrorist groups. That's assinine.

    I'm not saying that you have to or even should agree with her statements.

    for the education of the ignorant dachuda86

    declaring that there are good Neo-Nazis, who were chanting "Jews will not replace us" at the white supremacist rally Charlottesville,
    is antisemitic

    Trump made that comment about the Neo Nazis after the Charlottesville rally
    Trump's antisemitic comment prompted the resignation of his top Economic advisor, Gary Cohn, a Jew​

    Why should that matter in the context of Trump and his supporters' racism?

    Justifying nativism, jingoism, bigotry etc with "it's all a part of a 5-d chess game where he's trying to make them the face of the DNC" has no logical merit to it.

    If you want to debate their positions and policy ideas, feel free to debate. No one is going to engage with you on this notion that Trump is being a bigot to make these women more prevelant because it's just stupid.

    I don't care if they are or are not the face of the party. What I do think is that you and others should stop making false accusations against them. They certainly don't deserve racist ignorant attacks against them.

    There were only two genders?

    You continue to astound me with your ignorance.

    http://bilerico.lgbtqnation.com/2008/02/transgender_history_into_the_modern_age.php

    1654 -- Queen Christina of Sweden abdicates the throne and takes on a male persona, "Count Dohna."

    Early 18th Century -- The epithet "Molly" originates with "molly houses," a term for effeminate gay brothels, noted for the presence of crossdressing. The name itself seems to originate as a combination of the female name Mary with the Latin "mollis," meaning soft, effeminate.

    Thank you.

    The hypocrisy shown is astounding.

    So if Obama said go back to your country to the Tea party, or Mitch McConnell or Hannity would that have been ok?
