because you have this odd need and desire to insert it onto every story...and it's not just you but the left in general and the media...it's become a crutch and a weapon...it's obnoxious

and in the process, gave them a soapbox that reaches millions.
I prefer they live in the dark little recesses and crevices of the world, never to be taken seriously or heard from. But the media has to drag them out for the world to see just so they can go 'See, See, We told you so.....Trump"
the idiocy is astounding. |

If I remember correctly last years event brought out thousands, people died and the President failed a no-brainer leadership moment...you can't expect them to stay in the dark little recesses when the President is stirring the same pot. |

Yes it did, Yes they did, and Yes he did. And that was a big newsworthy event.
2 dozen marching on DC was a "Nothingburger" that should have been ignored. instead it was national news |

Somebody should have told the police they didn't need to show up. |

Well, Antifa still showed up, so......
I'm surprised CNN didn't run a headline that "Dozens of Police Show in Support" with pictures of them at the march. Might as well multi-task while they are at it. |

It's a news story that there are 24 white racists out there. We didn't know that until now? 24 people, whew, we better get cracking down on that movement Then Antifa showed up dressed like ninjas and started rioting. |

The Trump effect has shown me exactly who my friends are who harbor racist/biggoted/hateful beliefs. I do t need a stupid staged white power party to tell me that there’s people out there who think there’s too much brown in their town.

So are you saying that you never knew, or even had an inkling, that your friends were like that before Trump? I call BS on that one. Sorry, they couldn't have been that close to you, or you would have known. |

well...Trump was never called a racist until he opposed a democrat in an election....that's all it really takes....it's political racism for the left, created in their heads to demean idealogical opponents...they are fully invested..."if you disagree then you must be"
oooh...there's a cool rhyme they can chant at their funny hat rallies  |

Maybe they can go with "If My Hat is Pink, My Opinions Stink" |

You mean not since he was sued in the 70's for housing discrimination? Or not since he became the champion of birtherism? Or not since the idiocy he promoted about the Central Park assault? Pretty sure those all predate him running for anything, but that's ok. It works for you.

Discrimination and racism are not the same thing.

Birtherism is not racism.

Not too much non-white. too much of the wrong kind of non-white, which want to transform the country to look like Venezuela. If that's racist, I'm racist too.. |

By follow up, do you mean the "Brown Guy" on the Boston Common that 40K+ people gathered together to call him a nazi?
Because that is part of the Idiocy that I'm referencing. |

No, I mean President Trump refusing to specifically condemn a bunch of racists.
