Exactly.

I have also been clear what goes past the bounds for me.

another good post

I count 3 Trump non condemners here, I see no hate coming from any.

I see many Trump detractors here. All filled with rage if they admit it or not.

Fascinating.

Who are the three non condemners?

Are all the Trump detractors here filled with rage?

It shouldn't.
That's the sort of binary thinking I'd espect from a Trump supporter.

It wasn't a compliment.

TJ is all about hate. It's why he likes Trump.

I hear the same statements.

i think many take a stand that voicing an opinion outside of political correctness is hate. It's not. It's speech outside the confines of political correctness.

BTW, I do not support that talk. It is simply not a deal breaker for me.

Deal breakers for me are looking to the bible for guidance or being an obvious idiot savant.

Thanks for sharing your impressions.
You don't see that. But you call Trump's critics blind.

Cute game. You claim to be takinig the 'high road,' but at every turn you indulge in your particular flavor of name calling and belittling. Trump detractors are all 'blind haters,' 'rage-filled,' etc.

No we aren't. And I've pretty much decided your 'discourse' here amounts to trolling, the way you keep repeating the same song, regardless of the actual content of the posts of others.

Morning Joe said that.

I said so in the opening post.

I though it fairly accurate.... hence laced with irony so I dedicated a thread to it.

You're right, they're not. Nor is anyone suggesting that.

But some of those same "Trump detractors" not opposed to suggesting that Trump and his supporters are if they can score some cheap rhetorical points. They would label legitimate commentary as hate speech, probably because they have no desire to engage in any legitimate debate about it.

Funny how that works...
