Riots and Protests Starting...

[Kutnupe14]

These liberals really burn my A$$. They preach love and acceptance for all. Except when it does not go their way.

Soooo.... you're saying conservatives don't do that?

Oh, yeah, I remember all of the protests and rioting when Obummer was elected.......oh, wait.....that didn't happen.

So as long as you don't protest and riot, you're preaching love and acceptance?

Yeah, just a week ago the biggest concern the leftists had was that Trump might not accept the results...

You honestly don't see the hypocrisy or are you just being contrarian? Of course there are losers on both sides. But it's the liberals that preach this and don the mantel as the disciples of peace and love and understanding and tolerance and acceptance. We all know conservatives are racist, homophobic, uneducated, bible thumping, gun totin', Islamophobic, misogynistic, bigots. As you pointed out upthread with your examples, conservatives are just being conservatives...according to the narrative.

Let's let that sink in for a moment...Trump was the one that was not going accept the results

The irony certainly isn't lost on me...

Of course there's hypocrisy by the left. My point is, the right obviously, does it as well.

Slick move.

Your rhetorical question drew a false equivalency, which was easily parried. Seeing your blunder you moved the goal posts to an impossible location, attempting to draw someone in to shooting for them. And they will try, but it's still disingenuous. It speaks more to the talent of the participants of the debate, not so much the strength of their positions.

False equivalency? Explain.

Rolling along early today.
It is just crazy that we thought this would be over on Wed. morning and everyone would go back to living their lives.
What was I thinking.

Might be the first inauguration ever not held open air at the Capital.

The division is just immense. How to narrow the divide.

There you go again. No one said anything about conservatives preaching love and acceptance. That would make them complete hypocrites....like the leftists.

Your question obviously assumes conservatives reacted in the past similarly to liberals have this week.


But the reality is that there was much whining, complaining, talk of doom and gloom when Obama won. There were no burning cars, tear gas, open demands for assassination, looting, etc. The fact is, given what is perceived as catastrophic political loss, conservatives and liberals of our generation act with marked difference. If you pose a genuine question, you are ignorant of this, and you consider yourself informed now. If your question is rhetorical, you're drawing an equivalency that isn't there.

Professional protestors.... who's paying them? My money (pun intended) is on Soros.
Portland police said at least 29 people were arrested in the riot and that more information would be given on the charges Friday morning.
According to KPTV, one driver had her windshield smashed and someone painted “Capitalism kills” on a nearby convenience store. Police declared the protest a riot at around 8:30 pm. A riot is a Class C felony in Oregon.

I gave numerous examples of a page or two earlier of specific events, that occurred after the election. Hell a church was burned down a few days before the election. What are you blaming for that?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Actually, continuing, for what reason would people on the right have to riot or protest over Obama?
