68 leftist haters and counting

[Dene]

That's the number of "democratic" House representatives who are boycotting the inauguration. So much for unifying the country and honoring the peaceful transition of power.

It's pathetic the direction this country has gone in the last 8 years.

For point of reference, just how many Republicans found excuses to
ditch attending back in 2013?

It certainly is: just look at how many facts you've tried to brush off
or disregard, simply because they're contrary to your preconceived worldview.

BTW, on future insurance costs, the CBO is projecting a rise of 20-25%
per year. The ramifications of this is that everyone's healthcare insurance
is going to double in the next ~4 years ... your thoughts?

True, true, we keep on hearing vague promises of 'something great!',
but the Party of No happens to have had seven (7) years to have prepared
their alternative plan, so the excuses for having nothing on the table are
quite thin. If the whole and complete replacement plan hasn't been
clearly laid out for public review and voted in within the first 100 days,
would you be willing to consider this a major Administration failure?

If not, why not? And what would you consider to be a clear pass/fail criteria?

FWIW, I happen to think that any plan which deliberately delays the
implementation until after the 2018 midterm elections to be a fail, because
they're clearly dodging accountability back to their constituent voters.
Would you agree or disagree with this statement today?

What was the number of Republican senators who abrogated the
constitutional duty by refusing to hold hearings for a supreme court
nominee.

You mean the direction the Republicans set, right; this business of not
cooperating with the executive branch?

Strangely, that can't be found with a Google search.

I'm really curious. How many? Anyone here know?

Is that a confession that you're a crappy researcher?
Or that you didn't even bother to look? Choose your poison.

> I'm really curious. How many? Anyone here know?

First, let's hear you make an unambiguous claim that there
were none.

Because otherwise, you'll try to spin whatever is documented
into "but there's MORE Democrats this time!" dishonesty, under
a premise that that means something.

FYI, for your searches, try looking up the party held in Vegas.

I "typed in "how many republicans boycotted Obamas 2013 inauguration?

Perhaps you have a better suggestion, after all, you do seem to use Google more extensively than I.

I don't know that.

But you're the OP, why don't you just put out the number?

Got it. There are more Democrats boycotting Trumps inaug. than boycotted Obamas. By a huge margin.

Thanks for sharing.

So, can you define exactly how many Repubs boycotted? Or is it a test of some type?

>

Really, is that where Obamas 2013 inaug. was held?


Hmmmmmm....no... ... I didn't think so.

I found this on a site with some comments:

"Apples and oranges you fucking moron. It's the inauguration representing a transfer of power from one administration to another that's meaningful, not a re-election inauguration."

Hope this helps you, you do seem to need it.

Your statement was:

"You are aware that Republicans skipped Obama's inaugurations, correct?"

I don't see the additional qualifier of 'congressman' in there, do you?

So you trying to add it now is a goalpost move.

He Googles stuff. He doesn't read it before he posts. His
track
record is clear on that. His makes a claim and then posts
unrelated cites.

[michae...@gmail.com]

And his posts have gotten disjointed. He has made a change for the worst.

Before, he would take a six word sentence and turn it into a twenty five word sentence, with a bunch of inappropriate words.

Now, he does that, but nothing is connected. Totally disjointed babbling!

Perhaps he suffered some type of trauma?

I stand corrected: because of how you messed up the attributions,
(that's "-----" doesn't work well in subsequent quotes) that nuance
was overlooked - but this was the claim made which you then replied to
without adding a "congressman" qualifier.

I wholly own up to the original statement's scope, which was
"Republicans" with no additional qualifiers.

Adding additional qualifiers was your action, Greg. Own up to it yourself.

Indeed:

'However, these perceptions do not reflect what actually followed the
election of our country’s first black president, much less the
difference between why people are protesting Donald J. Trump’s
presidency as compared to Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks
and property destruction targeted against minorities.

Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was
physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following
the 2008 election. The three white male attackers shouted “Fuck Obama!”
and “Nigger president!” as they broke Johnson’s nose and fractured his
eye-socket, requiring surgery.'

<http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/305749-republicans-employ-double-standard-to-discredit>


'Among a certain subset of those Americans, however – especially those
who opposed Obama precisely because he sought to become the nation’s
first black president – it went well beyond the usual despair. For them,
November 5, 2008, was the end of the world. Or at least, America as they
knew it.

So maybe it wasn’t really a surprise that they responded that day with
the special venom and violence peculiar to the American Right.

Like the noose strung in protest from a tree limb in Texas. Students at
Baylor University in Waco discovered the noose hanging from a campus
tree the evening of Election Day, near a site where angry Republican
students had gathered a bunch of Obama yard signs and burned them in a
big bonfire. That same evening, a riot nearly broke out when Obama
supporters, chanting the new president’s name, were confronted by white
students outside a residence hall who told them: “Any nigger who walks
by Penland (Hall), we're going to kick their ass, we're going to jump
him." The Obama supporters stopped and responded, "Excuse me?" Somehow
they managed to keep the confrontation confined to a mere shouting match
until police arrived and broke things up.

Then there were the students on the North Carolina State University
campus in Raleigh, who spent Election Night spray-painting such
fun-loving messages about Obama as “Let's shoot that Nigger in the head”
and “Hang Obama by a noose.” The N.C. State administration was so upset
by this behavior that it protected the students’ identities and refused
to take any legal action against them or discipline them at all.'

More:

'But those were just warm-ups from the student cheering section. The
real thugs, exemplars of the dark side of the American psyche, were
shortly making their mark.

That night, four young white men from Staten Island “decided to go after
black people” in retaliation for Obama’s election. They first drove to
the mostly black Park Hill neighborhood and assaulted a Liberian
immigrant, beating him with a metal pipe and a police baton, in addition
to the usual blows from fists and feet. Then they drove to Port
Richmond, where they assaulted another black man and verbally threatened
a Latino man and a group of black people. They finished up the night by
attempting to drive next to a man walking home from his job as a Rite
Aid manager – he was actually white, but this crew of geniuses managed
to misidentify him as a black man – and club him with the police baton.
Instead, they simply hit him with their car, throwing him off the
windshield and into a coma for over a month.

All four of these men wound up convicted of hate crimes and would spend
the duration of Obama’s first term in prison.'

Still more:

'Then there were the arsons.

On election night, a black family in South Ogden, Utah, came home from
volunteering at their local polling station to discover that their
American flag had been torched.

The morning after the election, in Hardwick Township, New Jersey, a
black man taking his eight-year-old daughter to school emerged from his
front door to discover someone had burned a six-foot-tall cross on his
lawn – right next to the man’s banner declaring Obama president. It had
been torched too.

Another cross was burned on the lawn of the only black man in tiny
Apolacon Township, Pennsylvania, the night after the election. A black
church in Springfield, Massachusetts, was also burned to the ground the
night of the election; eventually, three white men were arrested and
charged with setting the fire as a hate crime.'

And even more:

'And if the election itself wasn’t enough to bring the haters out of the
woodwork, there was always Obama’s inauguration on January 21, 2009.

Two days before the big event, arsonists in Forsyth County, Georgia, set
fire to the home of a woman who was known as a public supporter of
Obama. Someone painted a racial slur on her fence, along with the
warning, “Your black boy will die.”

On inauguration day, someone taped newspaper articles featuring Obama
onto the apartment door of a woman in Jersey City, New Jersey, and set
fire to it. Fortunately, the woman had stayed home to watch the
inauguration on TV and smelled the burning, and she was able to
extinguish the fire before it spread. If only she could have done the
same for the hate that sparked the act.

The day after, a large 22-year-old skinhead named Keith Luke decided it
was time to fight the “extinction” of the white race, so he bashed down
the door of a Latino woman and her sister and shot them both; one died.
Police cornered and arrested Luke before he could pull off the next
planned stage of his shooting rampage, which was to have taken place at
a local Jewish synagogue towards which he was driving when arrested.
According to the DA, Luke intended to “kill as many Jews, blacks, and
Hispanics as humanly possible ... before killing himself.” When he
appeared in court a month later, Luke had carved a swastika into his
forehead with a razor blade.

But the pain and violence inflicted by these haters was just beginning.

In all, the Southern Poverty Law Center counted more than 200
“hate-related” incidents around the election and inauguration of Barack
Obama as the nation’s first African-American president.'
