Identity politics are getting out of hand. Now even Jim Acosta thinks he is a protected class.

Undead are people , too

Gets shot at school, asks for sensible guns laws. Scares the right so much that they had to lie about his message.

"gets shot at school"...uhm...didn't he give an interview on TV where he stated explicitly that he got news of the shooting while at home, and cycled to the school...where he then recorded the event?

I meant to say shot at, not actually shot. And no I am not aware of that. Please link to the story. Doesn't change the fact the he never once said take everyone's guns. That is a right wing lie pure and simple.

link to his lying, fake testimonies, above

gets shot at school, gets shot at at school...either way...pack of lies!

also, i never said anything about taking away any guns! can we stick to the point, i.e. what you take up the ass

He actually was there, btw. Rumors of his being at home during the shooting are false.

Been trying to reply, been getting an error. Will watch now.

good, i'm off to bed now, look forward to hearing your take on this!

Your point is made, he was not in the school. But that doesn't change the message he has been pushing. Tell me where exactly he said ban guns please if you can.

I never said anything about him saying "ban guns"

and the point of that video, is that he's a liar and he's being coached by your media t promote a political agenda. and, given that his father is ex cia/fbi, he's no doubt being coached there too. And you know perfectly well, if that was someone on the right, it'd still be front page news today

Does he or does he not support banning guns? You're couched theory is pure right wing echo chamber. I agree he was not at the school, but his friends were and now he is trying to make schools safer. Sorry that point does not seem to sink in. But if you are only getting your news from sources that hate him, of course they are painting him bad. Try reading the text from one of his speeches and decide for yourself.

Here's one of his texts here....I guess he musta been taking a break from saving school children when he wrote this one! any thoughts?

for the third or fourth time, i have no idea (or interest) what his stance on gun control is...all i know is is that he is a liar who used a tragedy to promote himself. I appreciate that you recognise his lies here, but let me ask you...why do you think he lied about it? and why do you think nobody in the media pursued it?

Personally, i like to get my news sources from every side available before I make my mind up about my opinions/positions

And? that hash tag was pure russian. It also has nothing to do with his talks about gun control, not gun banning. Why is that so hard to understand? The far right and especially the NRA are terrified of him and his message. Hence the smear job. Look beyond the smear and see that he, like me (a very liberal person) do not want to take your guns away. We do want background checks so only people that should own a gun are able to buy one. We do want guns to be registered as most guns used in crime are bought by strawmen that funnel them into places like New York that have tough gun laws for profit not caring if its a collector or a criminal. But understand that those that are fighting to prevent any gun laws are the ones most likely to actually to get them banned as no compromise leaves only two answers. All and nothing. And more of America doesn't own a gun today than ever before. Work with us on what should be the commonsense answers and we can dial the hate back to the fringe morons on both sides that are more easily ignored.

I have no clue what his stance on guns is and i don't care either...apart from the fact that he lied his way into a prominent position on a national debate and nobody who supports him seems to care about the circumstances around this!?

Why is he switching his position to attack innocent Americans who are sick and tired of the Dems bullshit and #walkaway?

You calling this hashtag Russian is pathetic! Truly pathetic. You've listened to none of these #walkaway people. I joined the official FB page a couple weeks back at around 100K members, it's now up near 150K. I've watched, literally, hundreds of #walkaway videos...not once did i ever suspect an ulterior motive in any of them...watch them yourself then come back and tell me which ones are Russian!

You are going to be on the wrong side of history my friend, you mark my words! the FB/Twitter #walkaway movement is the tip of the ice-berg. The Dems will be crucified in November...i guarantee it...crucified! and what will they do? they'll double-down on the Russia narrative, because the only thing they have, is the fear they've already instilled in their supporters

This is going nowhere. Thanks for the discussion, but neither of us is going to change as you refuse to see my point and I firmly believe you are stuck in an echo chamber. Keep making funny memes. I like your sense of humor, but we are at an impasse.

you brought up Hogg, i showed you a video that refuted everything he became famous for, right? so please, at least look at the #walkaway movement testimonies

I also pointed you to actually listen to what he had to say. You refused. No more can come of this without both sides listening to each other. And the walkaway was started and pushed hard by russians. But you probably don't trust our intelligence gathering anymore because it doesn't fit into your preconceived notions.

Okay, i'll listen to him. If you have anything specific worth watching, send a link

If it's just about gun control tho', i'm in favour of gun control anyway it just doesn't affect me. what i'm concerned about are his lies and the way the media have whitewashed them.

We don't have guns where i live and we didn't need them to become the "murder capital of Europe"...unfortunately :/

Google Hogg wants to repeal 2nd. Lots of links from there. Biggest one was Former Justice Stevens talking about repealing the 2nd should be their message. Might be where a lot of the misinformation comes from.

He does want to ban assault rifles and there we disagree, but without communication from people from all sides, there can be no compromise.

And you aren’t in America? I’m heading to England later this week for a while for work. I’ll be in Scotland with family first weekend off and London the second.

Good night. Not far off myself.

I'm in Glasgow! But I'm supposed to be going down south (Peterborough) either this weekend coming or next. where are you going to in Scotland/England?

Edinburgh, but I’ll be with family. My dad is from Dundee. But I’ll be near York most of the trip.

if ye make it through to Glasgow let me know and i'll get you a decent pint, you won't get one of them in Edinburgh :p York's lovely, i spent a couple years down there in Wakefield! You should try "Theakstons Old Peculiar" if you like your beer

Love a good porter. Stout is ok too. Don't drink cheap beer, life's too short. Anyway Glasgow is not going to happen this trip, but I probably will be back before the end of the year and I can try and swing a visit in then.

Guinness brought out some new porters here a couple years back, based on 200 yr old recipes..apparently, you should definitely check out the "West Indies" one if you can find that!

I'll see what I can do, but we have several microbreweries around here that kock it out of the park. And a few that haven't. So far Berkshire Brewing Company and a smaller one called Mocha Joes top my list.

there's a shop nearby that imports american beers, i'll have a look out for those

I'm also looking forward to the weather. Been in the 30's here and may reach 40 tomorrow. Some 20's will feel like fall to me.

He never actually got shot, nor was he ever shot at during the massecure.

And he isn't asking for sensible gun laws, he's demanding the abolishment of the 2nd amendment. Two completely different things.

Get a grip. Read the transcripts from his speeches and stop letting your favorite "news" source do your thinking for you. But I highly doubt you will because you and your friends want to hate him, so its easier for you to just let them paint him as a villain.

I don't hate him. I don't even know him. I do however hate his love of communism and his rhetoric concerning the 2nd amendment.

And it is a fact that he wasn't shot at, nor was he in school during the time of the shooting.

Slow day at the IRA?

I firmly believe that if Trump said America sucks followed by him eating a baby, he still wouldn't lose supporters.

Unlike trumps immigration policies.

You sound bitter. I think the meme is about zombies. And zombies aren't real. So you're getting triggered over a joke zombie meme.

Zombies deserve love too you know. #zombieLoving

depends on which zombie universe. On Discworld it started with Vampire Rights.

So you are ok with violence against your fellow humans?

I don't think zombies are considered human anymore.
