Pittsburgh shooter blamed Jews for "migrant caravan"

I never said any of that…

Well, they are making asses out of themselves and it will backfire on them just like to stunts they pulled at the Kavanaugh hearings.

Then why post it.

Do you agree or disagree with the article you posted.

Just sharing a perspective, not saying everyone does. And yes I personally think Trump purposefully stimulates conspiracies and vitriol that feeds people like this.

But the implication was clearly there that somehow that this person saying that held some sort of weight or authority.

Yeah. It will backfire. Just like things are backfiring on people like Avanetti who tried to bring Trump down.
The wise lib will wait until the universe is no longer on Trump’s side before trying to bring him down. Right now, Trump is blessed and his opponents are one by one made to eat dirt.

You don’t think she carries weight at the Tree of Life?

It just might.

So now our not going with the just sharing an opinion mantra?

Makeup your mind.

She doesn’t make the decisions anymore. As for now:

Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who was leading services at the Tree of Life Synagogue during Saturday’s shooting, told CNN’s “New Day” Monday morning that, “the President of the United States is always welcome.”

“I’m a citizen. He’s my president. He is certainly welcome,” Myers said.

You posted it only because it supported your opinion. There are, as usual, two sides to every issue.

it might not. The current head says he is welcome.

Former is just that, former. She has an opinion just like everyone else, but it holds no more weight than anyone elses.

When did I say there was not another side? You guys are comedy; I am sorry she makes you so angry.

And I have no doubt he would like to chat with Trump; anyone should take that opportunity if they have a cause they could affect.

So people that are elected president at the Tree of Life obviously “hold no more weight than anyone else”, when representing their member’s views… yea… that makes sense.

So we agree that it might or might not?

She doesn’t make me angry. She has her opinion and some people disagree with it, including the current rabbi.

He pointed to a 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft which, of course, he misunderstood.

And this entire line of argumentation is a deflection anyway…away from the fact that a right winger murdered Jews because he thought Jews were behind the caravan…and he cited Gaetz’ tweet as part of that.

You sure went from I’m just throwing her opinion out there to defending her position as if it’s the only one that matters, when shown there are others who feel differently even within the leadership.

There are always going to be some people who will put politics before anything else. The current rabbi seems to be the kind that may not personally like the guy but understands he is the President and will afford him the respect the office deserves when it comes to the unfortunates circumstance they all find themselves in. He may at that time find some way to have a civil discussion about any disagreements and work to a solution instead of giving him a big ■■■■ you I’m not even going to allow you to come here because he is on the other side politically.

Goes to my constant point about how you can no longer have discussions with certain people anymore.

There’s no two ways around the fact that the spark was an overtly racist “invasion” hoax that the President, Republicans, and Republican pundits helped to spread, and they were doing to try and boost Republican chances for the upcoming midterm election. People who don’t want to acknowledge that fact can piss and moan and hand wave all they want, but that’s the reality. Racist political fiction spread by the President, Republicans, and their media all amplified it and it pushed this person to act on it.

Nah, your statement that her opinion "holds no more weight than anyone else”, is objectively false, just calling it out.

you’d fit in well in my liberal PC culture thread. This is exactly what needs to be said all day, every day, by everyone in the media.
