Some of the comments on yesterday's post were dumb but there were a few bright spots and people thinking beyond the headlines. That was good to see and that kind of conversation didn't really happen anywhere else with a local angle. May not agree with some of the more hardliner readers but some of them have a point.
ReplyDelete"Trump supporters rebuked those blaming the president's anti-Muslim rhetoric for influencing New Zealand shooter"
ReplyDeleteWow! Who could have predicted this?
So if all these idiots are trying to blame trump for this, who are they going to blame all the christians being murdered by muslims through out Africa in the last month?
ReplyDeleteThats why i feel nothing whenever there is an attack on muslims Until the outrage goes both ways, I wont waste my time
Trump wants to become Americas Hitler
ReplyDeleteYou understand nothing about Trump or Hitler.
DeleteIs anyone else noticing that whenever a Muslim or "person of color" murders several people, the (((Media))) has an immediate "Fear Of Anti-Muslim Backlash". So far, no one in the (((Media))) seems concerned about anti-white rhetoric, but then again, the (((Media))) is chock-full of anti-white narratives.
ReplyDelete"Media" is the plural of "medium," no matter how many parentheses you use, (((idiot.)))
ReplyDeleteTriple parenthesis denotes "Jewish". Welcome to the year 2019.
ReplyDeleteAll this misguided trump hate does is make his base stronger not weaker, they think (hard to imagine) that if they keep putting out hateful lies that people will change their vote to the lyin cheatin dummocraps, sorry, it wont work
ReplyDeleteChristians being slaughtered and churches burned in Nigeria. Why isn't this news ?

@12:51, because nobody gives a shit what happens in Nigeria, but New Zealand is a civilized country!
ReplyDeleteAnd there aren't an "Christians" being killed, just one tribe of Blacks butchering another, samey-samey for a hundred thousand years in that festering shithole.
12:17: We KNOW what triple parentheses mean. What we don't know is why you deem it necessary to hide your antisemitism behind parentheses. Why not just use swastikas like your hero did?
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are Moslems doin in new zealand anyway? Was it the best deal they could get , its like me going to saudi Arabia or libya if i got govt bux to move a world away. Do muslims have any shame that everyone hates their behaviors? Even the buddhists in Myanmar are shooting them.
ReplyDeleteTrump is a white dictator wannabe nationalist, racist, elitist.
ReplyDeleteNah. You're just butthurt you lost.
Delete1:27 is ignorant and proud of it. I wonder why his ancestors came to this continent. I don't doubt the indigenous people hated their "behaviors," especially the incest and bestiality.
ReplyDeleteMuslims fuck goats.
ReplyDeleteBeto beats Trump.
ReplyDeleteDeal with it.
^^ Beto only beats himself.
ReplyDeleteChristians being slaughtered isn't news... because... well I don't know why.
