Ilhan Omar Takes Victory Lap: Resolution 1st Vote Against ‘Anti-Muslim Bigotry’

Who did it?

But READ what I posted, "She should have said the actions of twenty odd Muslims don't represent what a billion Muslims believe or how they how they act. But by saying "some people" She de facto minimizes what happened."

Clearly, I didn't blame all or even a significant number of Muslims. But it was 100% a bunch of crazy Muslims who did it. A small group that doesn't represent the majority or even an appreciable number, but that is who did it.

I fully understand that people see my name and edit what I say to fit their needs. However, you totally misrepresented what I said versus my 100% accurate portrayal of what she said.

Welcome to trying to argue rationally to board full of tribal lunatics.

Pretty sure this was the bad quote, rj.

"Omar's unwillingness to hold Muslims responsible for 9/11 shows she needs to be marginalized."

Notice the company you keep on this.

Curious to see how you would feel if Trump said something like "because someone did something down in Charleston now they want to take our statues from us" or if the NRA said "because someone did something now they are coming for our guns and that is why the NRA was founded."

Trump inspires white nationalists. Omar doesn't inspire terrorists. That's an awful comparison. You're just trafficking more stereotypes.
 
I think Omar should've phrased her statement better. I also agree that this is just the outrage machine from the right because the right is so tired of the left criticizing Donald for the myriad statements he's made in office that have been off the scale absurd.

I'm still waiting for Catamount to give exact quotes explaining how Ilhan is responsible for inciting "violent attacks" on Republicans prior to her election in 2018 as he said yesterday.

You've known me long enough to know I don't care. This time you know I'm right. She is very cavalier about her words and deeds. This isn't her first major mistake. She needs to be more professional rather than playing to the hands of hate regardless of where that hate originates.

I missed your criticism of Milhouse while he was calling me a dog eater. Pretty sure you were on that thread, as you are on well like all of them.

i did? i specifically called you a dog eater?
 
Republicans get so torn up over isolated statements from Democrats while ignoring the hatred that spews from their President on a daily basis.

But her outrageous, hateful remarks are giving Trump more ammo. She needs to STFU or learn how to speak to the press and public.

This is specific to her and her terrible remarks.

Fuck off.
 
You can be bad on the left just like you can be bad on the right.

Are her remarks cavalier or hateful? Really can’t be both simultaneously.

“Notice the company you keep on this”

You’re such a smug ass hole.
 
My childhood best friend was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and I found her remarks innocuous. I also find Trump’s remarks about having the tallest building in NYC now the towers were knocked down innocuous, for what it’s worth.
