Need to see that from the start.
I mean, wow. I'm not easily amazed, and hardly post. But this.
Its like he relishes taking the piss out of journos.
Yeah, but the flashes of anger, especially when McCain came up.
A large part of the reason clashes like this happen is because people in the centre on both sides take offence to "their" side being criticised, and thus dismiss legitimate criticisms of extremists on either side. It's a very divisive form of ignorance even if it seemless harmless and is mostly well-intentioned.
But, one side espouses intolerance, hate, intolerance and violence against other groups. The other side is violent in a reactionary way to the other group.
He's getting ripped for comparing with George Washington...........but isn't the comparison he was making that Washington owned slaves true?
Do you really believe there are no reactionaries on the far right, and no people inciting violence and hatred on the far left?

an you point out the widespread examples?
Where are the leftist groups trying to establish policy based on racism and nationalism? Where are the lefty groups calling for violence against minorities? Are there left groups calling for violence against extremist right wingers? Absolutely. Why? Because those right wing racist nationalists are calling for activities that violate the fecking constitution. Violence in response to that is justified if the government isn't going to step in and regulate these morons.
Yes, but he also died several decades before the abolition issue came to a boiling point. As such, he never had to take a firm stand on the issue under pressure. Who knows, maybe he'd have reasoned like Lee did... we'll just never know. But he shouldn't be subject to condemnation.
Can you point out the widespread examples?

People don't know all the facts, but somehow he knows there were find people amongst the torch carriers and not all of them are neo-nazi's. Wtf were they doing there then?
By the way, this was supposed to be a speech about infrastructure.
Why does he do this? Why can't he just leave things alone? He's a fecking imbecile, what has he to gain from this? Why did he even go there?
The answer is in the question!By the way, this was supposed to be a speech about infrastructure.

The point being missed by the moron is Lee fought to leave the Union.

I try not to emphasize it, because it might be interpreted that I'm reducing the slavery issue. But yes, to my mind all the leaders of the Confederacy were guilty of treason towards the US. I find even the name "Union" to be a misnomer. It was the United States vs rebels.
