And yet Hillary felt the need to apologize for calling these people exactly what they are?  Roll Eyes

Well, she was targeting those "moderate Republicans" right up to the bitter end.

So what?

66% of Democrats believed Antifa did nothing wrong in Charlottesville.
80% of Democrats support BLM, a movement associated with cop killers
39% of Democrats want to get rid of the Second Amendment.


Polls say they supported the shutdown earlier this year and only about a third fully support Israel.

1) BLM is associated with cop killers in the same way the GOP is associated with the KKK, Dylan Roof, or Timothy McVeigh. I don't think you really want to go down the path of guilt by association.

2) Declining to "fully support" Israel (whatever that exactly means) is perfectly reasonable (even some of the most ardent supporters of Israel I know have reservations about certain actions that the Israeli government takes) and is simply a policy difference between you and them. That's not comparable to believing that the government should suppress the media, or believing in blatantly false slander (Obama being a Muslim, Pizzagate), or being remotely okay with the president delaying the next presidential election. Same with the 2nd Amendment statistic.

There is nothing really wrong with most of this, maybe the Israel thing, but that's not the point. The point is, as others have said, where is your source?

They didn't kill anyone, so, yeah.

Associated with cop killers, by incredibly ignorant people who are probably white supremacists anyway.


39% of Democrats want to get rid of the Second Amendment.

The only problem is that this number isn't higher.

This kind of crap is the reason I've distanced myself so much from Republicans and conservatives in general. Not going to degrade myself and waste time trying to defend this stuff. You can't fix stupid.

The last question about bombing a fictional city getting 30% is just proof that you can ask a question about just about anything, and a significant percentage of people will answer in a certain way. What it says most of all is that we need to overhaul our public education system.

I thought it was proof that 30% of Republicans would support bombing anything that sounds like it's from the Middle East.

Of course. They probably  never did; they are just empowered enough to say it.

Hillary was wrong, it wasn't half of Trump supporters who are deplorable. It's the overwhelming majority of them.

I've been saying this ever since the Deplorables comment came out, lol. Hillary was actually very generous to only say half.

Does that mean we will start hearing it more often soon? Especially if the election results suggest that being openly hostile of racism is fading from the mainstream while at least the toleration of overt racism supplants it there?

Explain to me how being against the corporate media is an "anti-Semitic dog whistle." Am I not allowed to question or criticize the mainstream media without being falsely accused of ant-Semitism, something which is completely unrelated?

A strong percentage would want him seated especially if they were true, judging by the automatic praise he gets here among Atlas Blue Avatars.

I could see that if he had admitted them, or at least not issued such a categorical denial.  But now, in the very unlikely event that the allegations are proven true, he's toast, and deservedly so.

56% of 'Trump approvers' believe a wall is currently being constructed.

Meanwhile, the share of Republicans who believe that honesty among presidents is important has fallen from 71% in 2007 to 49% now.
