Identifying the Enemy

Saying you would vote for Hillary Clinton because you don't like Donald Trump is like saying you would vote for Adolf Hitler due to the fact that Winston Churchill is rude and speaks his mind and is not politically correct. She hates what the USA stands for.

Ya know, isn't it enough that we're bombarded with this stupid garbage on the news, radio, social media, newspapers, and every other discussion? Is it too much to ask to keep the political junk (and ya, it's junk) to those venues and leave the bird dog page alone? (And no, I'm not a Hillary fan. I'm just sick of this garbage everywhere I look)

Can't argue with you and it is so easy to avoid it if you can just keep your finger from clicking on the topic. Problem solved.

Fair enough. It's just nice to be able to get online and have some place where this kind of thing isn't shoved down your throat. However, your point is noted. That said, the title wasn't exactly "look at another stupid meme about the election". So, if you're going to post this junk then do us all a favor and title it as such so we don't have to waste our time looking at it thinking it might actually have something to do with the forum you're posting it to.

Important subject for gun owners.
Hope all hunters are informed and vote.

Um, it was posted in "Off Topic."

On topic, Sanders was the gun owner's best choice.

Let's see. Do I want to shoot myself in the head with my right hand or shoot myself in the head with my left hand.

Seriously, in a country this size that is the best that either party can come up with to run as their candidate?

0ne more liberal supreme court judge and gun owners have some serious problems. If Hilary gets elected we will have one or two liberal judges put in place. You are tired of it and don't care, maybe you should rethink it all.

Thats an assumption that may not be correct.

Churchill, unlike Trump, knew how to run a country and understood politics.

Correct. Those people are deplorable.

May I assume that you also took Joe Wilson to task for shouting down our President mid-speech?

Re: Identifying the Enemy

I guess I don't recall Wilson punching anyone, burning the flag, or smashing eggs on young women's faces.

If disagreeing with Obama can only be explained as hate, your side is in a pretty indefensible position for it's semantics when Bush was in office - blaming him for masterminding 9/11, etc. How about depicting Romney pushing an old lady off a cliff? That was pretty reasonable, huh?

Trump gets shouted down at every event. Hillary receives that treatment much less frequently, and more often by Sanders supporters than conservatives.

Let's keep an eye on the opposition's behavior during the upcoming political conventions. Once they are over, we'll compare notes and see which side of the aisle is more adept at "hate".

Re: Identifying the Enemy

I'm not on any side. I agreed that the behavior you outline is wrong and woefully misguided. Trump has every right to speak and should not be shouted down.

If you cannot agree that Wilson was out of line, then clearly you are on only one side.

I'm not a liberal or a conservative. I'll take each instance independently and without bias.

Re: Identifying the Enemy

Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 2:48 pm
by ckirsch
I'm honest enough to admit that I am indeed on one side. Wilson's behavior cannot be placed at the same level as those who perform much more vile and violent acts on behalf of leftist causes.

I've grown weary of liberals who claim a monopoly on tolerance, but administer it only when they are agreed with.

Again, watch the two groups' behavior during the upcoming conventions, then give us your "unbiased" report as to which side employs more hatred and violence.

First of all, that's an absurd comparison, unless you're actually suggesting that Hillary Clinton intends to murder millions of people based on religious beliefs and culture.

Also, I'm pretty most of the people not voting for Trump are making that choice not because they "don't like" him, as you said, but rather because they don't believe he can lead a country. If they are sensible they recognize Trump for what he is... a narcissist who suffers from anti-social personality disorder and, at best, a borderline sociopath who has never cared about anyone or anything other than himself and his self-importance. Those traits in a leader will lead to decisions that are meant to feed or defend his ego, despite the costs, whether economic or in human lives.

Anyone that is going to vote for Hilary should package up their guns and ship them to me. Obviously they don't care about their gun rights
Their hidden agenda is to put enough liberal Supreme court justices in place to take your gun rights away. They know they can't accomplish it through congress.

Which story are you referring to here? Also, saying those individuals who acted illegally are backed by Sanders and Hilton is like saying the Pope backed the priests who molested children, Islam backed 9/11, and Berretta (or whatever manufacturer it was) backed "bleep" Cheney shooting Harry Whittington.

And if you think that t-shirt is bad, you should read the comments on that page.

Greg, a guy that calls himself the "Imperial Wizard," who is a leader in the KKK has accurately and officially endorsed Trump for President. Your meme simply shows that people with disagreeable views exist and (even though you are speculating) support either side of the aisle.

Bernie Sanders had a rally here in Rapid City a month ago. His campaign had stands set up selling "F--k Trump" t-shirts. Classy. I guess that crowd would never stoop so low as to refer to a member of the opposing political party as an "enemy".

Yesterday a protester attempted to grab a law enforcement officer's gun at a Trump rally, and admitted that his goal was to kill Trump. You suppose that guy was a Jeb Bush supporter?

There's no comparison in the behavior between the two parties regarding the level of animosity and outright hatred they exhibit for the opposing candidate. There are a few bad apples on the right side, but nothing like the venom being spewed by the left. You just have to be honest enough to admit it, Springer, and it's obvious that's a stretch for you.

Haha that guy (protester as you put it) is not a supporter of anyone. He's a British citizen who cannot vote and was here illegally because his visa expired. He has no horse in this race and he still thought Trump should die... Strong convictions for someone who is not part of a US political party.

Are you sure those shirts were "approved by Bernie Sanders," and not just some guy trying to make a buck?

By the way, there has been a lot of news about Trump supporters who have threatened the lives of protesters and gotten into physical altercations that they started. So it seems those bad apples are more numerous than you'd like to admit.

Decision making theory has a model they use. They use approach and avoidance as goals. Our choice in the coming election, as it stands, is avoid-avoid. There is no winning choice. Both candidates are disliked and distrusted by a majority of the electorate. Makes you wonder how they got in the lead. Listening to NPR talkers yesterday, the speaker said when presented with a choice between two evils, don't choose either. We have 310 million people. There must be somebody out there capable of doing the job but dumb enough to take it.
