Why BLM and Antifa are not credible

Anyway, it was 1952. Time passed, memories faded. Sure the Repubs would try to bring it up, but the West Virginia electorate was not caring. That was initially in the days when southern Democrats were expected to more or less uphold Jim Crow. Later LBJ did civil rights, dumped the Dixiecrats and let the South turn Republican, but the Byrd continued, liberalized, and brought home vast pork for his state. He was always popular.

But you're imagining Democrats are this, and Republicans are that, forever and ever, amen. That's not reality. There's a basic left/right divide, but regional issues, demographic changes, and all sorts of shifts in voter attitudes and party strategy mean the very nature of the parties is pretty plastic. It's complicated.

I hope you not imagining Republicans always good, and Democrats always evil....

Never said all repubs are good or all dems are bad. I'm talking about the hyprocisy of the mainstream media and politicians.

I suppose I could throw Joe Biden into the subject and his sexual assault charges.

Hard to pick from all the accusations against their cult's master. Kinda run together and numbs the mind of the easily confused. They are all lies must be to make sense right????

So, I look at the title of the thread - Why BLM and Antifa are not credible - and notice we are discussing something utterly unrelated. So, in that spirit, let me throw this out:

I just got back from Seattle. My nine acre lawn needs to be mowed every week, but I was in Seattle for almost three weeks. I have my work cut out for me.

BTW, BLM and Antifa jumped the shark on this stuff. They set the black civil rights movement back 50 years. It will not go well for them in November.

Has This Present Moment Set Black Americans Back a Half-Century?

Yeah my thread title really should have been why they are despicable instead of not credible. Then I posted the one video about media and BLM and kind of derailed the thread.

Excellent article you posted.

Good luck with your lawn.

Then why bring up Byrd, who's long gone, except to besmirch the Democratic brand?

You see what you did? You accuse of hypocrisy, based on the contrast between a thing that happened a while back, and backlash you IMAGINE.

You can justify anything if you imagine the evidence.

I asked if the video was true at all and got a response that basically said probably not. So I did some research and found that about byrd. Then I also posted a link that describes how soros could be involved.

Now also why bring up Byrd? Because you know damn good and well that when anything even remotely close to the Byrd situation and hillary, is found out about a Republican the media and the left go into a frenzy and that is all you see and hear about. If something like that is found on a Democrat you might get one or two stories and then it's swept under the rug.

I don't know any such thing. Were Al Franken's misdeeds swept under the rug?
