Had one last thought on the content of this thread -

There were those who were incensed at the thought of certain Democratic leaders being compared to terrorists.
Yet, not so long ago in a previous thread, Trump and his supporters were labelled as Nazis.

Shouldn't this be met with the same type of outrage?

Isn't this just the other side of the same coin???

So answer me this IZON, Trump said there were good people on the white supremicist side. His supporters backed him on this. What Democrat said there were good people on the terrorist side? Nor do I remember any Democratic supporters stating anything similar. If you think there is an equivalency please provide some input to substantiate your position.

Unless of course Carnack the magnificent is speaking to you from the great beyond. Personally I would find it way more interesting if Andy wasn't stuck in the box and goofing on Elvis and you from Pokipsie. I'll bring the milk and cookies.

That was NOT the “white supremacist” side. Only some were. It was a group protesting the removal of statues.
Just like the protesters of the straight white parade were not all terrorists. Only some were.

Good people don't march with white supremicists or ANTIFA, no matter what the premis of the march. It is a shame that white supremicists, neo Nazi's, and ANTIFA hijacked the protest for their own purposes. Would you march alongside of people shouting anti Semitic slogans? No, you would leave or confront them. Because you are good people. Would I march alongside ANTIFA thugs? No, I would leave or confront them. I would like to think I am a good person, but I leave that up to others to decide.

If the dems and their leadership have a subset of their supporters that are terrorists and they are hesitant to denounce terrorism out of fear of losing supporters or any other cutesy reason then I agree with izons scenario and there should be equal outrage.

I just haven’t seen terrorists supporting the party or the leaders like I have the white nationalists. That’s very different than the all trump supporters are white nationalists crap. I’m not saying that and going down that path is disingenuous.

So no, I don’t se the equivalence. It’s a good try though. It just might be possible that the op is stupid and disrespectful towards those that died on 911. I’m not sure why much time would be spent to normalize it or justify it.

And if you do happen to find an equivalence it wouldn’t help the OP. It would shame the equivalence. Both bad rather than making the OP ok.

The OP is among the stupidest posts ever and it is a shame there are idiots that think that way.

My dad and my in-laws are Trump supporters and are not white nationalists or racists.

If you take a few moments to look at various white nationalists propaganda they do support trump and much of his policy. Some of the language is very similar. Some of the white nationalists rhetoric used to be taboo but has now been mainstreamed intentionally or not. I dunno.

One is a subset of the other. Not vice versa. And none of that changes the stupidity and disrespectful OP. Likely over 50% of those that died on 911 were dems (I don’t know... but the majority were in NYC).

So you just equated the straight pride participants to white supremicists and ANTIFA. Why do you think they are that vile?

Nope. I was saying Antifa was mixed in with the protesters. Protesters shoulda left. That’s essentially your argument for the other side

I've never liked that classification.... just because there were white supremacists there doesn't mean everyone there against the statue removal was a white supremacists... I'm not even white but i didn't want the statue removed... would i smack around a white supremacists if he got in my face..?? Damn straight... it's a silly argument ... just not true... 😟

there is a similarity between the White Lives Matter movement and its relationship to BLM and the Straight Pride Parade to Gay Pride Parades
