The normalization continues,when antifa’s or plain old liberals confront white nationalist, they are left wing ,narrow minded and violent.
Normalization.
It is okay for us to scapegoat ,discriminate ,even deny services.
America.
This is racism.
You should not be so surprised that there would be heavy resistance to anybody who supports,defends or even politasplains in defense of this POTUS.

Kingtut-Yea bro, if we are only more tolerant of racists they will mend their ways....
Some of them are good people?
Nope. My definition of good people does not include ok with racism. It's strawman bro to you...
Calling out racism has never been a problem for me, on the job or around family. Hiring and advancing minorities is just something we do without fanfare.
Acting like Arnold Schwarzenegger- Gandhi on the internet is perhaps, something I should aspire to. Thanks for setting the bar!

GINA SOSA, REPUBLICAN VOTER: I mean, we're talking about a 15-year- old girl, which I respect. You know, I'm a woman. I respect. But we're talking about a 17-year-old boy in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me what boy hasn't done this in high school. Please, I would like to know.
I haven't done this in high school. I'm not aware of any of my peers who did, and if they did and I knew about it, I would not remain friends with them and I would not defend them. I (perhaps wrongly) assume that this is the position of the majority of guys.
At what stage will our society advance enough where a person would be ashamed to make a public statement like Gina Sosa did? It happens a lot more often than it should, but it is NOT normal or acceptable for boys to forcibly remove a woman's clothing when she is fighting against it.

Honestly, Norton, I don’t see what is ‘racist’ about ET’s meme, either.
It’s complete bullsh#t, and mentions Obama’s race and his religious belief, but I don’t read anything from it that demeans any particular race...just Obama, himself.
Total bullsh#t? Absolutely. Racist? I don’t see it.

Well, tut, I appreciate the detailed response, but I still don’t get it. That meme isn’t racist itself (to my eye), but it is clearly intended to incite a lot of people who do have racist beliefs about Obama. By strict definition, I don’t see that meme as racist, but it walks right up to the line just for effect. Slimy, all the same.

Second woman alleges assault by Kavanaugh
By QUINT FORGEY 09/23/2018 08:28 PM EDT Updated 09/23/2018 08:49 PM EDT
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/23/second-woman-assault-kavanaugh-837678
Deborah Ramirez, who is 53, told Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer of The New Yorker that when Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale in the 1983-84 academic school year, she remembers that he “exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”
Kupec added: “This claim is denied by all who were said to be present and is wholly inconsistent with what many women and men who knew Judge Kavanaugh at the time in college say. The White House stands firmly behind Judge Kavanaugh.”
Well, there’s a big surprise. A POTUS who has a long history of misogyny coming down on the side of an accused abuser? Shocking, I tell you.

Obviously The Kav will have a lot of lawsuits to file after his long work week, unless of course, The Nuge kills them all.

Kinda misses the point that The Kav denies he did it.
So, he has no testosterone?
Did The Kav operate an automobile in his near black out alcohol adventure?

Claiming that someone can't identify as black because they have a white mother is racist.
There are very few african americans without white blood.
That sets the tone for the rest.

He's hoping The Kav can get on board and re-interpret the Constitution so that Donut Trup can pardon his sorry ass.

"This attack on Cavanaugh..."
Kavanaugh
The indignation on the right about the sources and motivations for these accusations is nothing short of hysterically laughable, coming from the Party who has made the practice of smearing a well-honed art form, and has a POTUS representing them that has the all-time lowest level of morality and integrity possible (this, from the Party of 'values'), and completely subverted the constitutional process by obstructing any kind of vote on a SCOTUS candidate for nearly a year, for the sake of their own political interests.
This is politics in 2018, if your POTUS hasn't made that clear enough for you. Play the game, or get out of the way.

Well, it’s about time the Dems grew a set and went mano a mano with the GOP’s longstanding dirty politics.
