or shoot up a Black school killing 9 or a MAGA hat that shot up a Florida high school killing 17 or the many faux militia wannabe gear queers with their sapi plate carriers and ARs with 10 different attachments running around the woods training for when Islamic extremists and Obama strike Bismark, North Dakota.
So you would be fine with liberal groups running around the woods armed, training militia style heavily armed with rhetoric about how right wing terrorism is a severe problem desiring to prevent the next Dylan Roof shooting, Timothy Mcveigh bombing or next abortion clinic bombing? Or would you call them left wing nuts?
Do you see how you are changing the subject from right-wing mobs acting without civility towards people with different political views?
We have a duty to stand-up to the rising fascist movement on the right that seeks to undermine our democracy and put in place a xenophobic authoritarian regime that will herd blacks into ghettos, depots legal latino citizens, and stop brown people from immigrating into this country. All minorities are facing a dangerous time in this country as the right cares not about justice or who gets killed to achieve their aims of white power. There's a reason white supremacist groups are on the rise and celebrating Trump as the harbinger of finally putting an end to this melting pot idea. This is fundamentally about race as the Republican party has been since Nixon's southern strategy. Putin has artfully taken advantage of the inertial hate for foreigners in the west to stoke a irreconcilable divide in our society. Lighting the race powder keg. The anger isn't about liberal policy vs conservative policy - it's about race. It's about stopping black people from having power through voter id laws. It's about stopping immigration legal or illegal, it's about demonizing Asians It's about celebrating white culture and waving dixie flags. All minorities need to realize that this is a call to arms. We should prepare because when you have a maniacal narcissistic wanna be despot as the POTUS, anything is possible.
Who's changing the subject? You're the one who brought up the long-debunked John Lewis fake news story to smear the right with.
The point isn't which congressman was spit on, but that right-wing groups in uncivil protests spit on congressmen. They were uncivil towards John Lewis as well even if the spit didn't land on him though it might have. The story is not debunked.
Oh, now that you can no longer say that a Civil Rights Hero was spit on (or that anyone was spit on for that matter) it's suddenly not the point anymore. Cool, gotcha.
The video shows someone being getting spat upon. The point of this whole thread was uncivil mobs. I brought out the John Lewis incident as an example. The fact that it was another congressman that was intentionally spat upon doesn't make the mob more civil. Again John Lewis may have also been spat upon, but it may not have been captured on video.
Where's the spit, brah? Cleaver makes a big dramatic fuss but any fluid intentionally launched at him would be big enough to be seen on camera. You are deliberately being intellectually dishonest now.
No, I'm not. The spit would not be big enough to be seen on camera. If it he was hawking a loogie then it would be big enough. If he was simply spitting, it wouldn't be. You see the man make a motion with his mouth and Cleaver reacting. You see it once which gets Cleaver's attention, and then you see it when Cleaver confronts the spitter. If you are going to ignore evidence staring you in the face, then there's no point in further discussion.
