    I recall it. I don't recall them assaulting people and destroying property when Obama was being sworn in.

    I've only been on & off this forum today, so that's news to me..... I haven't been paying attention.

    If that's happening, then shame on them. Peaceful protests are fine, but the rioting is bullshit.

    Read the article in the link I posted. There were assualts & riots all across the country. Don't sit here and pretend there weren't.

    It would be interesting to see how much trump will borrow from Mussolini.

    The comparison is close enough:

    Yeah, some of them don't represent me. The peaceful ones I'm okay with but the ones smashing buildings can fuck off. Don't fight unless they strike first.

    Although, I was biased towards a McDonald's damaged because to hell with Monsanto and them. Ironic since that Michael Keaton movie comes out today.

    They were screaming N word, though. Psychological terrorism is just as bad as violent terrorism. Americans may not be like ISIS on the latter but they got the former down to an art.

    yes you would. and it would be WORSE. if there was a possibility of muslim hacking into the RNC to influence the election and give Obama the win back in 2008, you damn right you'd see protesting. not only that, you'd see violence and damage. and that is only ONE of the reasons people are protesting.

    That's a make believe scenario.

    Anyway, he didn't need Muslims to break into his computer (I doubt he has one anyway) to spill dirt on him. The professional clown was happy enough to provide the dirt for all to see himself.

    Your point is suggesting that trump is to the left what Obama is to the right. But that equivalency isn't the case today.

    I'm not sure what my point is other then the irony of protesting Trump's message of hate with hate.

    He's is closer to Mussolini than the other dictators. Does your link mean you like that or don't like the comparison? Maybe it depends on if you're white or not.

    Agreed. The Anti-Trump protesters are the ones protesting the Trump protesters, right?

    No one was dissing anyone. It was a tough campaign, it was awkward and now people (directed by their political persuasion) are reading "disses" into every facial expression and expression of body language. That's it.

    So what are you referring to? You said if the tables were turned, this wouldn't be happening. What wouldn't be happening? Riots? I gave you an article that proved that there were riots 8 years ago, when the tables were turned. A riot is a violent public disturbance. I believe those 11 individual hate crimes qualify. Bear in mind, it wasn't like these were the only 11 incidents across the nation.
