Donald Trump Calls Ted Cruz a P***y

[flowers]

my goodness it is just a word.  even on cnn last night they said p instead of that word.  PC sh7t has got to stop.

[DCPatriot]

OK, I'm lost.  I think what I'm getting from this from several posters is "you can't call me or my candidate names, because that's hateful, but I can use fairly violent imagery towards you and it's just a figure of speech". 

Got it.

And here's another instigator   

Should have stopped after "OK, I'm lost".

There are two things that every genocidal dictatorship in the history of humanity have in common when it comes to how they deal with dissent/opposition.

One, they marginalize and delegitimize their ideas and ideals by arguing that those ideas and ideals are neither, but rather a front for hatred and envy.

Two, they dehumanize the opposition so that any actions against them, however vile, is justified in the name of cleansing the nation and/or the race.

The Bolsheviks did it.

The Nazis did it.

Mao did it.

Pol Pot did it.

When the Castro brothers did it, they held publicly televised "trials" where the accused were not allowed counsel, or even to speak on their own defense. They sat perfectly still while members of Castro's "revolurion" shouted at them, calling them leeches and parasites.

They were them executed by a firing squad.

My family did not escape this treatment. We wanted to leave Cuba, so we were labeled "gusanos"... worms.

My brother and I were called worms nearly daily, to our face.

Be very, very careful what it is that you promote.

If you get rid of roaches by flooding your house with rats, your problems got bigger, not better.

Not going to take the bait, Luis.

Take my words to mean whatever you want them to mean - and then launch into a long tirade about it.  Lure all the flies to that pile and get all outraged about it - take days to dissect it and get a little hysterical too.

She said WHAT?



Now, who's taking the bait?

Not sure who you are referring to so this is not aimed at you...

I was responding to Louis's statements, which were correct by the way...
"There are two things that every genocidal dictatorship in the history of humanity have in common when it comes to how they deal with dissent/opposition. "

But he chose the name calling... I don't care what names you call people but I do care about systematic demonetization of the candidates. (except Hillary :) )

[alicewonders]

Good to know that it's all right to call for the extermination of millions of American citizens because you don't like them.

See how the language of dehumanization makes it all okay?  They aren't people, you know; just cockroaches. 

Kill them.

---

See how demogoguery is a problem?  And how those they make such language their stock and trade are so dangerous?

---

As an aside, what about their wives, husbands, and children?  Do we need an exterminator for them, too?

When forced to see the 'enemy' as a human being, it's not so easy to spout off talk about 'exterminators' and 'life-sucking parasitic pests'...

Not going to take the bait, HonestJohn.

[Lando Lincoln]

We've gone over the edge. 

[Luis Gonzalez]

OK, I'm lost.  I think what I'm getting from this from several posters is "you can't call me or my candidate names, because that's hateful, but I can use fairly violent imagery towards you and it's just a figure of speech". 

Got it.

Yes.

[xfreeper]

Yeah....that's the ticket.

Every time we get you anti-Trumpers on the mat.....somebody blows a whistle and calls holding.

It's bullsh*t!   

I'm not sure how anyone can categorize me as an anti or a pro but I get labels are important to some people rather than ideas so go for it.

[DCPatriot]

When/If I have to hire an exterminator to eradicate filthy, life-sucking, and parasitic pests from an institution - I'm not going to care what kind of language he uses, I'm not going to care if he is not pure.  What I'm going to care about is that he gets the job done!

The filty, life-sucking, and parasitic pests to me, means, the Obama Administration and their people heading various Cabinet Departments, and the Department of Justice and IRS, and even the CIA.

The "institution" is Washington.

 

I'm way beyond the purity tests, the ability to spout pretty focus-group tested rhetoric, the election year pandering, and the well-rehearsed spiels.  I want a Terminator.  If that offends people's sensibilities, so be it.

The GOP had their chance, they promised they would do better if we would just keep voting for them....this time.....we'll do better.  They created this.  They own it.

Signed,
A Trumpster!

And anybody here who thinks Alice uses the word TERMINATOR literally, is just being obtuse.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Well, what I saw, was you taking Honest John's interpretation of what Alice said ...it wasn't in any manner a connection to putting people on trial and killing them.

Honest John came out of left field.  And you never took your eyes off him, it seems.   

I quoted alice directly.

Reply 77 on this thread to be exact.

Describing other citizens as vermin that need to be eradicated, whether figuratively or not, is unacceptable.

We are all fond of slippery slide theoreticals in this forum. Where does that one lead?

[DCPatriot]

Words mean what they mean.

Calling other American citizens "filthy, life-sucking, and parasitic pests" that need to be eradicated is unacceptable in any way that you may wish to try and sell it.

I disagree, violently and passionately sometimes, with people whose political ideology is at complete odds with mine, but THAT'S THEIR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT THAT THEY ARE EXERCISING, and when anyone... anyone starts talking like you did, they become the greater enemy.

That's right... run.

Like something that runs from the light.

Read post #109 and then get back to us.   

[Sanguine]

And here's another instigator   

Should have stopped after "OK, I'm lost".

Me an instigator?  Might want to look the word up, it doesn't mean what you appear to think it means.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Read post #109 and then get back to us.   

"Us"?

Is it like a Borg collective thing or a "it's not that we don't have a mind of our own, but that it's divided among so many" thing?

[DCPatriot]

I know what it means, Sanguine.

First Honest John starts it....Luis follows....and then you....who got a simple "Yes", from Luis.

The irony is that a little context and reading comprehension on each of your respective behalf, would have kept this from smoldering.

[DCPatriot]

Strawman, Luis.   Focus.

LOL, that's rich.  It's not all the agitating, name calling and, dare I say it - instigating - that you have been doing isn't the problem; it's just that if I had comprehended it differently, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Why don't you stop digging, Sanguine?

Read #109....and break it down for us...where you think AliceWonders is advocating for the genocide of all our political enemies.

Can't wait....but take your time....and read slow.

Yeah....I'm getting pissed off.

Taking a little break....   all this "maufactured outrage" (credit to Lea)  by some of you is making it hard to breathe in here.

Every now and then I feel like I need a break. Countering deceptive political attacks is thirsty work.

Calling other American citizens "filthy, life-sucking, and parasitic pests" that need to be eradicated

I got banned for a month for much, much less.

Trump supporters get away with a helluva lot more demonization than the anti-Trump people do.

But it's funny that they're taking their bile from their leader. If he can be nasty, why, so can we.

They're pathetic on this topic.

NOTICE!!!!   The only way the meek will inherit the earth is as fertilizer.  This is NOT the time for "meek".   

We're in the fight for our very lives as freedom-loving Americans...and they curl up in a ball for what was essentially a re-tweet by Trump.

Nice try, Sinkspur.

Yes. The Good Lord had no idea what he was talking about.

Belligerence, anger, and profanity will inherit the earth,  the first beatitude according to the church of Trump.
