The tragedy of tRump on the very day Elie Weisel dies.

Sadly, not only were no lessons learned but we have a president who does all in his power to instill hatred of Israel and it's citizens and we have two presidential candidates who will continue to divide us from each other.

As I posted up thread, some of the commenters on Trump’s Twitter feed are openly anti-Semitic and are white Nationalists (i.e. openly Neo-Nazis) and Trump does not remove or block their Tweets from his feed. He could and should but doesn't.

Are you calling for censorship by race? Thats disgusting. They have just as much right under the First as any other race-based group such as La Raza, BLM, NBP, etc. Its not ok to be racist to any race.

So it's OK to be anti-semitic?  You have sunk to a new low, bub.

Am I calling for outright censorship of any and all opinions? No. Unlike what your Cheetos Faced Demi-God has proposed, am not.

If Neo-Nazis Socialist Fascists or Leftist Socialist Fascists (and they are really both different sides to the very same coin) want to post their screeds or hold their protests, they have their 1st A rights to do so.

I also have the right to call them both out on it.

But someone who is running for POTUS and who doesn’t block or call out and rebuke openly Nazi sympathizers and openly anti-Semitic racists who are posting to his Twitter feed, that really IMO says a lot about that candidate.

And I hold any politician, including Hillary and Bernie to the same standards.

So you are calling for Trump to be a racist to only one race. How hypocritical. Its not ok to be racist to ANY race white included. That makes you the Bigot.

As far as calling them out and proving them wrong I agree with you, What I do not agree with you is on your calling for silencing them for doing no more then other races do in America. Either free speech is for all or its for none.

What do you mean by “calling for Trump to be a racist to only one race”? I would prefer a President who is not racist for or against any race - period.

Is that really too much to ask?

Again, I’m not calling for silencing opposing views but, and as you are on other topics, on legal issues, you are painfully ignorant of what the 1st A actually says:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/first_amendment

While The 1st Amendment does say “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”, the 1st A does not however grant me any implicit rights to exercise that right, to exercise said my freedom of speech on any and all platforms, anytime and anywhere.

For example, if you are my next door neighbor and you want to listen to Mein Kampf on audio tape in your own home, you are free to do so. You can also invite like-minded people over to your home to listen to and praise Hitler’s speeches.  You do not however have the right to come into my house and force me to listen to it or force me to invite your Nazis friends into to my home. One could also make the point that you don’t have the right to set up a loud speaker and broadcast Mein Kampf or for that matter the soundtrack to Star Wars at a high volume toward my house or throughout the entire neighborhood 24/7.

Likewise, you can (or should be able to, IMO) fly a Nazi flag or the Stars and Bars or a Mexican or a Polish or an Israeli or a Communist Worker’s party flag, etc., on your own property, but you don’t have the right to erect such on my property.

Say I take myself and my family out to see a movie at a local movie theater. Neither you or I have the right to falsely stand up in the middle of the movie and yell “Fire!” Nor do you or I have the right to stand up in the middle of the movie and scream obscenities at other patrons or block the screen and use the stage in front of the screen to make an impromptu political or religious speech or rant.

While I shouldn’t IMO, be able to have your account suspended (unless you are advocating something explicitly illegal, directly threatening me or others with physical violence, etc.), but if I have a FB or Twitter account, etc., I have the right to block you and remove from my feed, things you have posted to my feed that I find offense.  My house, my rules.

Trump’s president campaign Twitter feed is not the government. He could if he wanted to, deleted the anti-Semitic and racist Neo-Nazi Tweets and posters. Why doesn’t he?

This is one of the most asinine comments I have encountered here at GBR.

I find it very amusing when you try to lecture me on the law. First with IP Law and now with Constitutional law.

I called you out for wanting to silence only one left wing racist group and not the others.  Either all races have equal rights under the Constitution or they do not. Its not a grey area.

That said the Marxist infested culture we have had since the cold war says every race but whites have rights, and only for whites is it a thought crime. I neither agree with the Left Wing Skin heads nor you calling for silencing them.

The reason they are allowed to protest publicly no matter how offense it is to others is the Constitution. Same with any other Bigoted group.

Well lookie here.  It seems the source of the first image came from the alt-right:

Donald Trump's "Star of David" Hillary Clinton Meme Was Created by White Supremacists

 By Anthony Smith July 03, 2016
 
Donald Trump tweeted a meme Saturday that used dog-whistle anti-Semitism to announce that his political rival, "Crooked Hillary," had "made history." The meme Trump tweeted prominently featured the Star of David — a holy symbol of the Jewish religion that Nazis attempted to pervert by forcing Jews over the age of 6 to sew it onto their clothing during Hitler's reign.

Emblazoned onto the Star of David in Trump's meme are the words "Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!"

The star lies atop a giant pile of money.   

Mic discovered Sunday that Donald Trump's Twitter account wasn't the first place the meme appeared. The image was previously featured on /pol/ — an Internet message board for the alt-right, a digital movement of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and white supremacists newly emboldened by the success of Trump's rhetoric — as early as June 22, over a week before Trump's team tweeted it.

So it's OK to be anti-semitic?  You have sunk to a new low, bub.

Time for the mask to come off.  Trump has sent enough messages that determine who he is.  He was raised by a racist.

Trump grew up with a racist father.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump

When things don't work out for him he blames the Jewish Son in Law.

Trump denies scolding Jewish son-in-law over scuttled Israel trip

http://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-denies-scolding-jewish-son-in-law-over-scuttled-israel-trip/

Trump extremely offensive at Jewish Coalition in Washington D.C.   He exposes his partial feelings about his daughters conversion.  Supports her but doesn't like it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Donald Trump and a bunch of Republican Jews walked into a convention center on Thursday, and the punch lines were as offensive as you’d expect.

In his speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington, D.C., the Republican front-runner served up a not-so-kosher mix of Jewish stereotypes and braggadocio, topped with a sprinkling of conspiracy theories – all of which seemed to go down surprisingly well with his audience of GOP heavyweights. Here’s a quick rundown of what American Jews learned from the Donald’s remarks:


Trump is a negotiator, much like the Jews

“I'm a negotiator, like you folks,” the candidate told the assembled Jewry. As the speech unfolded, it became clear that the line was not spontaneous and that Trump had decided his passion for saving money would be a real winner with this audience.
 



After touting his plans to renegotiate the Iran agreement, Trump asked, “Is there anybody in this room who doesn’t renegotiate deals?” After a moment of reflection, Trump concluded that there were probably more renegotiators here than in “any room I’ve ever spoken.”

The Jews will never support Trump, because they like to buy their politicians

The candidate went on to clarify that, while he admires much of the way Jews handle their money, he isn’t crazy about how they try to buy up our political system.

“I don’t want money, so, therefore, you’re not going to support me because, stupidly, you want to give money,” Trump said. “You want to control your own politician.”

Trump repeated this point about how he wouldn’t take the money that his audience was desperate to give him several times in his short speech.

Trump isn’t a fan of Shabbat.

Trump entered to a standing ovation, which he abruptly, albeit jokingly, dismissed.

“You just like me because my daughter is Jewish,” he said. Trump went on to say that he was perfectly happy about his daughter’s conversion, though he wasn’t crazy about some of her faith’s new rules. “Only bad thing is I can’t reach her on Saturdays.”

Obama is a secret Muslim …?

Trump complained that Obama refuses to acknowledge that “radical Islamic terrorism” is the greatest threat facing the country, then suggested that there may be some secret reason why he refuses to utter the phrase.
 
 

“We had an event yesterday that was probably related [to] radical Islamic terrorism,” Trump said, referring to the shootings in San Bernardino. “And we have a president that refuses to use the term. He refuses to say it. There is something wrong with him that we don’t know about.”

Obama controls Hillary Clinton through blackmail

Early in his speech, Trump described Obama as the “worst thing to ever happen to Israel.” Surprisingly, much of the audience seemed to agree that a U.S. president who increased aid to Israel was more calamitous for the country than that time it was attacked by several neighboring countries.

To tie the Democrat’s current front-runner to this deeply mistruted incumbent, Trump suggested that Obama has complete control over his former Secretary of State. “And Obama – she can't go against him because if she does, she’s indicted,” Trump said, referring to Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time in the State Department.

Trump is the biggest thing since Elton John

Trump spent much of his speech touting his own popularity, as measured in poll numbers and event attendance. “We set a record everywhere,” he said. “In one place we beat the record of Elton John. I’m no longer competing with politicians – I’m competing with musical talents!”

ISIS is kind of badass

After arguing that Clinton was too low-energy and weak to win the war on terrorism, Trump briefly praised ISIS for their high energy and toughness.

“I think you’ll admit it, these people fight dirty but they fight better than we used to think,” he said. “They’re not bad. They’re tough. They’re not the JV.”

If you boo Trump for refusing to reveal his parameters for a two-state solution, he will threaten you with the faux-subtlety of a mafioso

During a Q&A session, Trump assured the audience that his master deal-making skills would allow him to broker a two-state solution — if Israel were committed to reaching one. But when he was asked to state the terms he would seek in a peace agreement — specifically, whether he would allow the Palestinians to take half of Jerusalem — Trump refused to show his cards. That led one attendee to loudly boo him.

“Who’s the wise guy? Just relax, okay? You’ll like me very much,” Trump said. “Then you wonder why you get yourself in trouble.”
 
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/12/donald-trump-gives-non-kosher-speech-to-gop-jews.html

And once again I want to point out how Trump gives praise to the warfare of ISIS.  He has praised many dictators, tyrants, fascist communist leaders.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Free speech is not protected speech. 

Trump tweeted it...

... and everyone has the free speech to roundly condemn him for it.

His supporters can come out and heap love on Trump for it...

... and everyone can condemn them for it.

But you are the one wanting to silence the condemnation.

And I know the above article is clearly liberal leaning it doesn't change the quotes that came directly from Trump.  I am sure that these quotes are easily found in a wide variety of media sources.

I also would like to say to Mechanicos:

no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.

Isaiah 54:17

Noted you have to be a Servant of the Lord to be vindicated.

So tired of "offended by this, offended by that".

You are 100% correct.  The design does not indicate anything regarding the Star of David other than the outside lines are shaped the same.  It  can't be the "Star of David" without the interior lines.

I find it very amusing when you try to lecture me on the law. First with IP Law and now with Constitutional law.

On the other thread to which you are alluding (on IP law – specifically on posting YouTube links here to copyrighted and obviously illegally pirated full length movies), you were wrong.  I wasn’t lecturing you, I was trying to educate you and others and protect this site from potential legal claims. If what I posted was wrong, please prove it. 

I am sorry that you found it “amusing”. I personally don’t find the theft/piracy of and the knowing redistribution of stolen intellectual property to be a laughing matter.

I called you out for wanting to silence only one left wing racist group and not the others.  Either all races have equal rights under the Constitution or they do not. Its (sp. “it’s”) not a grey area.

And where did I say that?

You entirely missed the point. What I said was - “What do you mean by (me) “calling for Trump to be a racist to only one race”? I would prefer a President who is not racist for or against any race – period.”

That said the Marxist infested culture we have had since the cold war says every race but whites have rights, and only for whites is it a thought crime. I neither agree with the Left Wing Skin heads nor you calling for silencing them.

The reason they are allowed to protest publicly no matter how offense it is to others is the Constitution. Same with any other Bigoted group.

Contradict yourself much?

Again, I’m not calling for “silencing” anyone as you seem to be suggesting I am. Public protest is not the same thing as someone allowing Neo-Nazi anti-Semites and other types of racists including the BLM or LaRaza and to post to on someone else’s or on my Twitter feed.  They may have a Constitutional right to spew their garbage on their own feeds, but I don’t have any Constitutional obligation to provide them a platform on mine.  If someone were to post such garbage on my FB page or on my Twitter account, you would not think it within my rights to remove it and block such content and posters?

Again, if my neighbor wants to fly a Nazi Swastika flag on his property, while I would find it offensive, he has the right to do so. He doesn’t however have any right to come over and put up a flag pole and fly that flag on my property.

Is that so difficult a concept for you to understand?

 BTW, although the alt-right and the neo-Nazis believe otherwise, Jews are of the white race.

Trump tweeted it...

... and everyone has the free speech to roundly condemn him for it.

His supporters can come out and heap love on Trump for it...

... and everyone can condemn them for it.

But you are the one wanting to silence the condemnation.

That needed to be restated again. 

The Trump Militant are overt purveyors of 'Liberty is for me, but not for thee'.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

You are 100% correct.  The design does not indicate anything regarding the Star of David other than the outside lines are shaped the same.  It  can't be the "Star of David" without the interior lines.
  How anyone thought it was a "Star of David" was beyond me.

At least they acknowledged that the Holocaust occurred.

If you have the stomach to read their other posts you will find they think the Holocaust was hoax. One of them even posted a picture of Hitler saying "Hitler was right".

It IS a Star of David because the original image came from a neo-nazi website.  And somebody from Trump's camp lifted the image, put a question from a FOX poll on it and Trump tweeted it out.

:whocares:

Sometimes a graphic is just a graphic...if it were white on blue background with the lines, an ACTUAL Star of David, I could see folks getting their knickers in a knot...

So tired of "offended by this, offended by that".
