    Its as if people want to ignore centuries of hatred when Muslims speak about Israel. There is no distinction in their minds. To defend this worthless piece of **** is a defense of eradication of Jews because that is their end game.

    I get what you're saying and I find anti-Semitism deplorable, but historically European Christians were often out to do as much damage to the Jewish population as the Muslims. And it swings both ways. Tribal skirmishes between Jews and non-Jews have been going on in the Middle East pretty much since the political establishment of the nation of Israel (virtual or otherwise). As I said earlier, what is going on with the settlements and confiscation of Palestinian land/property by Israel is rightfully being criticized.

    I cannot stress how important this moment is.

    Dems are putting members who rejected corporate campaign money on a committee overseeing Wall St.

    All because:
    1. Everyday people donated to our campaigns, and
    2. They started to pay attention + became activists in Congress

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted Scott Walker

    Explaining marginal taxes to a far-right former Governor:

    Imagine if you did chores for abuela & she gave you $10. When you got home, you got to keep it, because it’s only $10.

    Then we taxed the billionaire in town because he’s making tons of money underpaying the townspeople.

    I think that if you uncritically accept every assertion in this thread, you might come to that conclusion. Only skimming it, I found several misrepresentations. One which is pretty notable is dinging her for issuing a statement of support of Marc Lamont Hill, saying that his “from the river to the sea” line was “Hamas’s slogan.” Well, yeah, they use it. As does every free Palestine movement since 1964, predating Hamas. He lost his job at CNN over this, and nearly lost his teaching job. Missed that in the PC thread, though.

    But, yeah, I’m leery of Tlaib, based on a couple of these things, though I don’t really know much about her beyond the bio. But I guess we should hold her to the standard that you’ve always supported, which boils down to “you can’t be acccused of X-ism unless you outright state that you’re an X-ist.”

    No heightened correlation of bigotry against Jews/Homosexuals from people that follow the Islamic faith?

    Thats a statement you want to stand by?

    of course i don't accept bigotry...but i think it is better to refrain from tarring an entire religion with such a broad brush

    The 'scum' comment was clearly directed at this individual. The Islam comment was more of a borad brush supported by facts.

    For the record, I do find it troubling Graham went from calling Trump an imbecile since he started running to basically bending over backwards on everything for him in the last 12 months.

    Not saying it's blackmail, but his behavior sure has been a bit strange. His bff McCain would not approve. And it wouldn't surprise me if Graham was gay (nothing wrong with it if he is).
