Quote: RonCThere is plenty of "hate" on the left, right, and in various religions. One must suspend reality to not see that.
Let’s throw some stats into this debate, instead of the “both sides are bad!” false equivalences.
Clearly one side has a bigger issue with hate and violence than the other, no?

I'm against all of them; I didn't say anything about which side had a bigger problem with the issue at this point. There is plenty of hate to go around. I would much rather have no hate; just differences of opinion. Left wingers used to try and bomb places and now (Antifa) mainly just tear up the property of others (so far), Islamists still blow up places and are a danger, and right-wing extremists are some nasty bastards who are winning the idiot race lately.
I've read some of the ADL stuff and other things. While, in general, I find the conclusion of who is nastiest to be correct at this point, there are some questions about their numbers and who they attribute things to in this report. Again, I am not saying that any of this changes who is winning the hate race right now.

Direct quotes and relevant to the topic -- shouldn't be banned. OTOH, I wouldn't overdo them either, or hunt stuff out of the past unless it's a debate over what someone said then by someone else
IMO. of course.

Conservatives wont watch a Samuel Jackson movie because of politics?
Boy is that dumb and stupid
I lean left and I know Clint Eastwood is a right winger that like to talk to chairs
but
If I am channel surfing and see Dirty Harry or the cowboy with no name, I'm stopping to watch Clint kick some a**

Boycotting a movie because you disagree with a director or actor’s politics is incredibly stupid.
I still see all of Clint’s movies. I thought The Mule was really good.
Million Dollar Baby is one of my favorite movies.

And for the record, the DNC did not cheat Bernie. He lost the primary by almost 4 million votes. Hillary actually beat Obama in the popular vote by 286,687 in 2008, to put that into context. You can't cheat 4 million votes, no matter how many times you try to falsely claim that illegals voted in droves.
Donald Trump is the symptom of what's rotted at the Republican Party over the last decade, i.e., they overreacted to Barack Obama, a good man who pushed for compromising solutions time and time again, to the dismay of his base. Did Hillary make mistakes? Yes, she did. Is the left EQUALLY to blame for electing a despicable human being as the role model for our children and leader of the free world? Oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllll no!

You make it obvious that you posted this only to troll the moderation over the "keep it PG" rule, not to make any particularly useful on-topic post. Yes, we have free speech here. But we also have some standards, with which you are very familiar. You could have masked the offensive words and still quoted Sam Jackson exactly. You didn't.
So I'll make it 1 month less 3 days you earned extra on your last sentence, Martingale (4th recent offense). Hopefully I'll remember to unlock you then.

"In her book, Brazile agrees with the court, too. She says that, contra President Trump, the Clinton campaign’s actions were not illegal. “The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical,” Brazile notes. “This was not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s integrity.”

No, they didn't technically "cheat" him out of winning...they just let Hillary run the show based on a joint fund-raising agreement:
"“Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised,” Brazile wrote. “Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.”"
Quote: SteverinosYes, she did. Is the left EQUALLY to blame for electing a despicable human being as the role model for our children and leader of the free world? Oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllll no!
Again, they had the winning candidate. They were poised to win. The candidate just refused to do what it would take to win. Someone on her side was responsible for that decision. Her winning in California by a zillion votes was a forgone conclusion and we hear a lot about it and how unfair it is...but everyone knew the system going in and she missed out on a few thousand votes that were hers to gain by staying away at a crucial point in the campaign.
Nothing that President Trump does is their "fault"...that isn't the point...it is their "fault" that they didn't do what it took to win.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make either. You used the word cheated, without quotes, in an earlier post to describe the DNC's treatment of Bernie. That's not what happened.
Thanks for the clarification.
