Question #1: Why can't you just simply condemn the violence?I've condemned the violence as extremism. Extremism is undesirable. The large majority of police, and the large majority of demonstrators, are _not_ engaging in violence. Why can't you accept that? Why do you continuously try to frame the issue as if everybody is burning
everything down, hmmmm? I have an idea what the answer is, but I'd love to hear your side of the story.

protesting is doing that. I've said it many times, so listen: NOBODY OPPOSES PEACEFUL PROTESTS, NOBODY. That's why we have a 1st
Amendment, which to me is the foundation of our country above all else.
Without free speech, you have no America. So I fully support peaceful protesters. I don't support violence. When I talk about violence,
that's who I'm talking about. If you want to extrapolate from that
that therefore I think all protesters are violent, that's on you, not
me.
Sorry, but I haven't. If you have some examples, I'd be happy to seeHow difficult is that?Get a grip.
I have yet to hear any leading progressive voice condemn the violence.Bullshit.

In what way am I an extremist?The ONLY thing I've heard is admonishing them to stop not because it's wrong, but because it might help Trump in November.You haven't "heard" anything because you've become an extremist, looking through a very dirty filter at the world.

those principles are important to the movement. So I'm taking them at their word.
How can I cite something that never happened? The citation in theQuestion #3: Why haven't I heard a single progressive voice condemn the vitriolic racism and even murder of black conservatives and other conservatives of color?Citation needed.
sentence itself. I stated that I have never heard any progressives
condemn the racism aimed at Black conservatives. There's your
citation, direct from the source itself.
So why do you support police brutality, including kneeling on a handcuffed suspect's neck -- while he says he can't breathe -- for 8.5 minutes until the life is snuff out of him? Why are you for that? Huh?If I never condemned police brutality, then yeah, that would be an issue too. But I have condemned it and do condemn it. So...
Why? See how that "framing the conversation" works? You have all the charity of a hungry scorpion.
Should there be a law that prevents the construction of low income
housing in upscale neighborhoods to protect property values and prevent runaway lawlessness?
