Fox News debate on Confederate monuments blows up in their faces.

Priceless!



Abby Huntsman (center) hosts what she intends as a balanced debate about Confederate monuments, but finds to her dismay that Wendy Osefo (left) and Gianno Caldwell (right) are on the same side and the issue on their minds is not statues.

talking about Trump comments as just a failure to craft an appropriate response and start talking about who he is and WHY he says inappropriate things?

Trump is a failed human being intellectually and emotionally and morally. Let's stop pretending he might change, learn, do better next time as president. Then we can start talking about what can be done to protect ourselves and the world from this guy.

Two American Patriots condemning KKK, Nazis, and their leader President ClusterFuck.

I can't help comparing them to kkk-nazi cowards who remove their clothes when confronted or cry about police warrants after hate filled rants when talking to brave woman reporter from VICE news.

Patriots and chickenshits. The master race?? kkk-nazis use that delusional dream and their guns to masturbate to.

The Patriots in this inspire me beyond words.

And FOX news is propaganda. They let some Patriots speak that I am sure they regret.

One of the KKK-nazis was being chased by a man threatening him. The nazi took off his Trump shirt and was pleading saying "I was just there for fun". Someone there said to him "you can't just take off your uniform". It was posted here and I believe on rawstory.com.

Sorry I do not have a link to it for you, but maybe someone does.

Enjoyed our dialog. It gave me the opportunity to learn a little about tools available to make posts.

Besides, this is just too funny. Looks like just a kid. Maybe he will have learned a little humility from this.

Kid, who had just been yelling threatning words, marching with the gun and baseball bat carrying Nazis, got chased by peaceful demonstrators, presumably without guns, he took off. He Ran and took off his clothes, and basically denied being a part of.it.
I hope we have seen the worst of it, but I fear not.

To avoid the mistakes of the past. Gimme a f***ing BREAK.

Tell you what, why doesn't some city build a statue of Robert E. Lee where he's standing up all tall and manly with a whip in his hand and a frightened, cowering and bloodied slave on the ground at his feet, pleading for mercy ... that'll REALLY 'teach' everyone and they'll totally LEARN from it and not 'repeat mistakes of the past'.

PFFFFT. Right.

When an enraged public demands it be removed, that'll be the statue that the next neo-Nazi rally gathers around and tries to defend.

And what will THAT tell us about how much 'educational value' these 'monuments' have?

Even though the statues of Lee and other Southern Civil War 'leaders' don't have the whip and the slave I described above, you know what? It sure as f*** MIGHT AS WELL ... and THAT, dipshit Faux Nooz host ... is why good people don't want them in their cities and parks. These statues are NOT EDUCATIONAL in nature., and in fact, any 'education' they MIGHT incidentally render ... is 'educating' any people who may be inclined towards racism ... that it's actually OK to be one. After all, we've built MONUMENTS to famous racists, right?

Which is why, whenever he speaks from the heart, it's an utter disaster.

Americans think and feel. She is given a platform to discuss issues that she has no real background in beyond books, news stories, and what other privileged white people like herself think.

When she was on MSNBC I heard several things she said that demonstrated how out of touch she is with average Americans. She was born on third base and blessed with good looks and a reasonably intelligent brain, but she lacks the depth of real experience to know just how tone-deaf and wrong her comments are!
