'Racist' Tweet From Republican Joe Visconti Draws Fire From Democratic and GOP Leaders

So? Is he not a Republican? He definitely was running as one.

And no one can vote for him - since he dropped out of the Governor’s primary race before the election,

So? If I call myself a democrat, will you accept blame for my posts from here on out?

So never. Gotcha. Weird life.

You see hate where others see something else. You can’t insist that others see it the way you do (any more than they can insist that you see it the way they do.)

As soon as you define the parameters of the question as “hate”, you end the validity of the question for that reason.

Likewise you build a strawman by saying he’s a “hero”. You’re not going to effect meaningful discussion that way.

So what you are saying is what I have been saying all along. There is no difference between Trump supporters and BLM.

Was that in response to me?

Use the quote function to make the discussion clearer.

Yes, I CAN deny he’s more hate than controversy. And I do.

Are you a registered Democrat? Are you running for office as a Democrat?

Visconti is a registered Republican. He was running in the Republican primary for Governor as a Republican.

Why do so many(Trump, Hannity, Fox) focus on Americans being killed by illegal immigrants when almost all are killed by citizens. Thats a weird focus. I need them to focus on citizen-citizenkilling before I’d ever care about that other thing. Weird logic.

What was stupid or incorrect about my statement?

Now who’s deflecting? You were speaking to me and I continuously point out the violence we are contending with both from legal and illegals in this country.

That you have to ask demonstrates the problem with our current paradigm of political discourse.

But not endorsed by the party. So what you are saying is, if I register as a democrat, which you can’t stop and have no control over, and run as a democrat, which you also can’t stop or have any control over, you and the democratic party will take partial responsibility for any idiotic thing I care to say or do? Really?

So what?

Cynthia Nixon isn’t endorsed by the Democratic Party in the race for Governor.

In a primary there is often only one candidate who has the endorsement of a party.

He was running as a representative of a specific party to be that party’s nominee.

If I called senator Warren pochahontis…i would be called out as a racist…for the most part. Trump gets away with it.

I always thought racial statements were the same as hate speech. At least that’s what everyone says.

Self appointed representative, I hereby appoint myself as your representative, from this moment on everything I say on this board is a reflection on you.

If you say so.

Possibly because Illegal ALIENS (they’er not immigrants) have no right to even be here that they should be committing crimes here in the first place.

I do, from now on, any time you guys don’t like what I say here please rush to lulubee and demand she disavow my posts.

He’s also talking about a Democrat.

Comparing any Democrat to a socialist or saying they might weaponize their office is hardly unprecedented.

There’s nothing that remains of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to the Left anymore.
