We went through the last 8 years, and this election cycle being lectured on how the right was violent, how the right was intolerant, and on and on and on. We've had this administration say veterans were a threat of becoming domestic terrorists, and on and on and on. Come to see now, who the violent ones are. if it was only the so called "alt-left", but it's mainstream left leaning personalities as well. It's unfathomable how we as a nation tolerate this sort of direct threats against individuals such as the article above.

Never have I seen so many threats, on twitter, on facebook, by hollywood dooshbags, it's amazing we had a legal lawful election and these people who scream of "fascsism" are turning out to be the actual violent, intolerant fascists they claimed everyone else was.
 
Why should I believe him?
 

Go onto Facebook, then go to a conservative page and look at all the comments about Hillary and Obama. There are many comments there about how Hillary should be tried and shot, Obama should be hung, etc. It's not just liberals that do it, it's also conservatives as well.
 



link to comments please.

Pretty much anything from CNNPolitics.com shouldn't be considered breaking news, it is opinion and innuendo. It isn't specific to this individual and his claims, but in general:

From the story: "CNN has not spoken with the police department or verified any threats against Banerian."

That isn't the way news works!

Sure I'll post them later, can't right now. If I post them will you even consider them or just use the excuse "How do we know they are conservative" bull**** that happened the last time I posted comments from there? I go through the work and partisans like yourself just dismiss it.

Well, some have argued even here that Trump supporters are garbage and less than human as it is so it would be far more surprising if they weren't getting death threats.
 

That is definitely some slipshod reporting; but again, CNNPolitics is basically "put it online and see what happens." CNN sucks donkey nuts.
 


No you show me posters here saying obama should be hanged, and hillary should be shot and I will agree with you. There is no excuse for calls of violence on any side. I don't believe that posts like you suggest would fly here by any side.


now lets see the poster's posts saying what you claimed they said.

Any opinion at all on threatening death to EC voters if they don't switch away from Trump or would you rather not say. :lol:

They interviewed an elector, who stated he received death threats. I find it dismaying that you find that he's speaking out more deplorable than the idea that the alt-left are engaging in terrorism against electors.
 

There does seem an obvious lack of condemnation for death threats aimed at coercing a certain outcome.
 

Here is my comment IN FULL, try reading instead of replying:


I specifically said Facebook as examples of people that are doing that. I never said HERE. Try to read Rev instead of making up ****.

show me where a majority of posters here have condoned death threats to those folks. Just because people don't comment on every single thread, every single comment does not mean condoning. I have never excused threats of violence or death threats to be used to coerce an election.

Wait, what? Do you just make **** up as you go now? When on earth did I claim anything of the sort?

I will not be dragged into some idiotic Gish Gallop, where I have to refute statements I never made. Either quote me honestly, or this conversation is over.
 

But there is a difference between what hateful people say on social media about, well, anybody and making death threats to individual electors. Letting off steam/being ignorant jerks vs death threats.

I know what your opinion was right after the election and drawing from that, well, I wondered.

:lol: I misread you. yes I am sure you may find a few. but nowhere near as common and as prevelant in the history of all of the internets as these death threats, violence, and sore loserness as we are currently experiencing.


buy yeah, I'm sure you can find a couple. I tell you what for every one you find, I will find ten. deal?

So saying Hillary should be tried and shot or Obama should be hung isn't an individual threat? If that's what you call "letting of steam" then that's ridiculous.
 

No, you just wanted to deflect from it with "but conservatives...".

It's called a comparison, but then you just wanted a circle jerk against liberals. Sorry to ruin your day.

Wow, I agree with one of your posts..

It's pretty disgusting leftist propaganda isn't it?
 



You see a link and a thread where an elector says to a cnn interviewer that he's recieved death threats.


YOUR ONLY COMMENT and concern was questioning why he should be believed and how bad cnn is to you.

You say nada on the alt-left terrorism that's been presented to you. You still haven't.

Stay or go, I don't care. *shrug*
