Whelp, unlike Kaepernick he didn't go on to praise a brutal dictator while claiming he was opposing injustice, so....

Yeah so at least you mentioned the vet in your response. That was big of you. Just wondering though, do you give a hang about the question? It is kind of a game changer, specially if you see yourself as captain America, but you are no vet, then I'd answer to that guy. And if you are a vet I'd still answer to that guy.

97 is a pretty fair effort and it is great that he is still agile enough to be able to comfortably kneel. Bless him.

Poor guy is senile, I think this should be a hate crime for getting him to do this, and not telling him the details. (dementia is not a joke)

You do realize that you just demonstrated hypocrisy, firstly, by accusing someone of being senile with no evidence, and secondly by disrespecting a veteran. Good job.

I did not take a stance, I just want justice for a poor old man, who was in his yard gardening, and this other dude comes up takes his picture and exploits him. It is worthy of a hate crime. You know darn good and well, is isn't tracking whats going on in the world, and he does not agree with kneeling for the national anthem. Typical leftist, end justifies the means.

Your last line demonstrates that you are what I believed: a typically hypocritical rigthy. It was easy to see and easy to point out. Don't get so upset that you have no response and that you put your foot in your mouth.

You have no evidence of that, and the vast majority of elderly people don't develop dementia. There are people who are 100+ and still sharp. We don't all age the same way.

Patronizing a vet by assuming him to be mentally incompetent simply for disagreeing with you is beyond disrespectful.

But the seed of doubt has been planted, that is all that is needed.

Nope, it really hasn't. Your pathetic attempt at spreading lies about a WWII veteran has failed, especially as you have just admitted you said it to try and plant a seed of doubt.
 
Re: 97 year old WWII vet takes a knee

My story has just as much truth as your story. That said, you disregard 150,000 veterans who are against the kneeling, but this one particular vet gets you excited....I wonder why....typical leftist, ignore the majority, and find the one outlier, and present them as the norm, as evidence of what these athletes are doing is good.

No, it hasn't. Not for anyone but other disrespectful people like you.

But I will just say how disgustingly malicious it is to play politics by trying to false flag the competence of your opponent.

More foolish right wing dishonesty and poor debating. So, firstly you admit that you lied to try to present some doubt... doubt that you have no evidence of. Secondly, you use the appeal to numbers logical fallacy to try to strengthen your point. 150,000 people are allowed to have an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right. Doesn't mean it's wrong. It means they have an opinion. Same as the athletes. What they did was neither good nor bad. If you believe either, that's an opinion.

What's wrong with silently protesting against police brutality?

They aren't protesting the flag. They are protesting racism.
