You missed what many in teh right wanted for Obama. Threats, death, his children to be murdered.
I didn’t miss it. I didn’t condone it then either. I wouldn’t condone threatening Biden either. Point is, why is that okay on social media?

Yet they sure seem to be when they are coming from the radical left.

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet [Trump] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

It's not OK on social media. Nor is it OK with the Secret Service.I didn’t miss it. I didn’t condone it then either. I wouldn’t condone threatening Biden either. Point is, why is that okay on social media?
So it’s okay for some liberals to be extremely intolerant, but not okay for conservatives to be intolerant. Do you even hear yourself?
Did I hear myself say it's Ok to be intolerant? No. If you heard that, you didn't hear me. I said both sides can be intolerant, one side less so and one side more so.

That's one way. But in a free society, that's no way to live with freedom. Even intolerant people have rights and free speech.The Paradox of Tolerance:
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."
Karl Popper
What a load of intolerance.The left leaning pieces of garbage posting on here disgust me. What a bunch of Beta, boot lockers we have created.
Again, violence and racism re not protected speech. And AOC's "protests shouldn't be comfortable" does not suggest violence be committed.Proof positive it isn't about inciting violence. AOC posted that "protests shouldn't be comfortable" - direct quote - two tweets. I reported them as inciting violence but both her tweets and her account still exist.
Countless more examples.
They simply don't want conservatives on their platform.
I don't plan to stay where I'm not wanted.
I think any American should be concerned. No matter what your view, you should be concerned. Can’t believe it’s happening in America.
Twitter is a de facto Town Hall or Main Street on the Internet, it should be a beacon of free speech. It's sad.
The Secret Service investigates all threats of violence against the president and high ranking officials.Well I don’t recall anyone going after people threatening to kill Trump publicly. Maybe I missed that.
One side is intolerant against sexism, anti-semitism, fascism, LGBT discrimination, and racism.No. You said one side has people that are EXTREMELY intolerant, and one side is intolerant over a broader range of things, which I am honestly not sure I agree with, but it’s getting late, and I don’t have time to argue that.
you should read what ai said again.No. You said one side has people that are EXTREMELY intolerant, and one side is intolerant over a broader range of things, which I am honestly not sure I agree with, but it’s getting late, and I don’t have time to argue that.
It's called fascism, communism, authoritarianism.Wow, full on China level censorship.
Boot lickers? Sounds like Trump supporters, who bow to their false God.The left leaning pieces of garbage posting on here disgust me. What a bunch of Beta, boot lockers we have created.
It sure sounds like you didn't know. But you’re probably just regurgitating something you heard on Fox News or Breitbart.
See, I can do it too.
Probably, after all you did say "I will not read most media accounts of anything, and believe it to be so. Everything is manipulated, parts picked and chosen, etc."Well I don’t recall anyone going after people threatening to kill Trump publicly. Maybe I missed that.
Twitter is lousy with porn? Really? I need to get an account.
China is business, not political. China has the right to ban whatever they want, and Apple complies to keep the cash flowing. Nothing liberal or conservative about it.
The whole "we conservatives are such victims" narrative is getting tiresome.
Again, violence and racism re not protected speech. And AOC's "protests shouldn't be comfortable" does not suggest violence be committed.
Doesn't make them Nazis, but they sure act like fascists, which is defined as people who value dictatorial and complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Actually, we live in a constitutional republic, which you’d know if you ever cracked a book. And it’s losing the ”democracy” feeling every day, more and more. Eventually, a large swath of this country’s population just won’t take it anymore.You understand that we already have a democratic government right? Or is it that you prefer some other type of government? Say an autocracy?
You simply search out a platform that support your already formed political views. So spare me the "oh, I only use unbiased sources". All news has a bias. But if 20 news orgs report something, and two report the opposite, its a good bet the 20 are right.It would be funny if I actually watched either one of them. Fox News is just as much fake news as CNN or any of the other ones. Breitbart? Never even heard of it. You see, I actually like to form my opinions for myself instead of having someone telling me how to think.
I guess you shouldn’t drive illegally. Once you’ve broken the law we lock you away indefinitely?I guess their parents shouldn’t have brought them here illegally.
Right. You mean after he had already incited a violent mob?AOC's comment was much more inciteful than anything I've seen on Trump's page, especially the few tweets that caused all this. He plainly told his supporters to go home and to not bother the police.
