Director and actor Rob Reiner said Monday that if President Donald Trump were to deliver a speech accepting his party’s nomination at the historic Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, it would be a tribute to “White Supremacy.”

Trump brilliantly narrows down the location of his acceptance speech. Either break yet another law and do it at the WH, or do it at Gettysburg and celebrate your devotion to White Supremacy.

(The “law” in question would be the Hatch Act, which critics say would prevent the president from giving a purely political speech at the White House).

The Hatch Act of 1939, An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits all employees in the executive branch of the federal government^[2], except the president and vice president^[3], from engaging in some forms of political activity. It went into law on August 2, 1939.  The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. It was most recently amended in 2012.^{[4]

Hey Rob:

Meat Head.  Dead from the neck up.

Ummmmmm ... Meathead? The Union won at Gettysburg. And Gettysburg is in Pennsylvania, which started the process of abolition of slavery in 1780. Not that facts matter to Meathead.

the Gettysburg victory was also the event that allowed Lincoln to credibly issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

The only people promoting and extolling so called 'White Supremacy' are Liberals and minorities.
I don't see any so called White Radicals claiming 'supremacy'. All I see are Liberals and minorities claiming that White people are 'superior' at birth. White people have a distinct advantage over every other race simply on the basis of being White. Don't tell that to the Asians or the Latinos. They will either laugh in your face or punch your lights out.

Normal people, like me, don't have time for this garbage. Apparently Liberals and Black radicals do.

Rob Reiner is clearly an idiot.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Facts, truth and reality don't matter to these leftist twits.   They are propagandists.  And to propagandists, the truth and facts, especially historical facts, are inconvenient and pesky little details to be summarily ignored.   So no, in Reiner's case... it's not ignorance.  It's deliberate deception.

You know there is stupid.  And then there is monumental stupidity.

Archie Bunker was wrong.  He isn't a meat head.  That cranium is void in vacuum.

[goatprairie]

the Gettysburg victory was also the event that allowed Lincoln to credibly issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Actually, Lincoln decided to issue it after the Battle of Antietam in September of 1862. He issued the official proclamation in Jan. 1863 six months before the Battle of Gettysburg.

Rob Reiner: Trump Gettysburg Speech Would Be Tribute to ‘White Supremacy’

I've never considered myself a "white supremacist", but since the argument lately is that all whites are "supremacists" simply by their virtue of "being white", and also because there is no way to atone from such a sin, I'm becoming more agreeable to the moniker.

So... call me whatever you like.
I am what I am.
But don't be surprised if in return, I call YOU whatever I like.
As in... communist.

BINGO!   

I NEVER knew I was supreme.  Never,  even thought that.  Now some communists call me SUPREME..so I guess I have to believe it.  Some brown/black people think I am SUPREME....then HATE me for what THEY...THINK!    Nothing, I ever, thought about.  I live poverty income, fight for my health daily, worry about my kids, paying my bills.  BUT..NOT ONCE...ever thought about skin.  That is something new to me.  If I am so supreme, why, did I have cancer, heart attack, ruptured appendix at 7 months pregnant?  Many other hardships & pain,  like most human beings.  I don't get it.

There is an old saying 'Ugly is only skin deep but stupid runs through and through'.

@PeteS in CA

NOW you have done it! You are going to have to explain to him what the world "union" meant back them. I have no doubt he thinks the Civil War was fought by union members versus "scabs".

The good news here is when an "important personage of the 'murikan left" is that freaking stupid,it gives you some idea as to the reasoning ability of the rank and file members.

@Fishrrman

"Communist" is so...so...so,1930-ish. They have evolved past that level now,and are Fascists. Has to be frustrating for them to have to hide THAT light behind a barrel after decades of accusing everyone else of being a fascist,and saying it is an evil thing to do.

I was thinking about Ken Burns Civil War series & coulda sworn I remembered it as Gettysburg. Goes to show as bad as my memory is I really need to double check before posting non-facts.

@corbe

I wish you had not put a picture of a woman's hair on fire as it reminded me of when that happened to me...yes, it did.

I was a grade school teacher and at Christmas, we had a dinner at a restaurant for all the teachers and principal.  The tables were put together in a U.  I was sitting inside the U, at a corner where where the table was connected to the head table.  Someone behind me at the head table wanted to speak to me so I leaned back that direction which put a burning candle behind my head.  My hair was in a French Twist and, of course, there was hair spray on the twist.  The candle lit the hair spray and flames were going up high in the air - I could not see it so did not know it was happening.  All of a sudden, someone was beating on my head. 

From that time forward, the principal called me "Fire Teacher".  The day after the "fire" I went to my hairdresser and said, "A strange thing happened last night."  It actually was not bad because with the hair up, the part that caught fire was the underneath part when the hair was down.

Since that time, if I see a lit candle, I know where it is in proximity to me.

[Hoodat]

The bigger the hair, the closer to God.

[Smokin Joe]

Ummmmmm ... Meathead? The Union won at Gettysburg. And Gettysburg is in Pennsylvania, which started the process of abolition of slavery in 1780. Not that facts matter to Meathead.

And was the high water mark of the Southern Army advance.

Maybe his history books were written in cursive?

[verga]

There is a reason I still refer to him as "Meathead", but I am considering changing it to "Methhead"

[AL]

Is there anyone in this galaxy who cares what Meathead thinks?  Raise your hand ...
