    The fascists are at it again. Whatever happened to see something, say something? When will the GOP bow down and apologize of what is being done in their name? Or is this something that is only reserved for Muslims who are otherwise regarded as supporting if they don't apologize?

    And why was that person allowed to have guns? It's at terrorist!

    I'm unaware of any GOP Congresspeople who condone shooting at the homes of the opposition.

    You're missing the point that Muslims were suspected of condone terrorism in their name unless they speak up.

    It appears that, based upon recent stories in the news, our major political parties do not have strong vetting protocols for those who run for political office under their banners.

    The results of this inattention can make for headlines. Thus far, there's no indication that steps will be taken to reduce their incidence.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    I tend to not respond to bullshit by further perpetuating bullshit.

    Human nature comes in all persuasions. I don't know any on the right that would condone this. Most would express their disdain.

    So this guy was a hard core Trump supporter and election denier? An Ultra MAGA nut ball? Makes sense.

    It's not bs that Muslims were seen as supportive of terrorism if they didn't deny it.

    No idea what you are asking for ..examples of what .. The Dems apologizing for the actions of some loon in their midst or GOP ?

    None off top of head .. but is a stupid thing not worth thinking about .. which was kind of the point. That and that it doesn't happen often on either side .. nor should it because it is dumb generalization fallacy ..

    Dems are not responsible for some loon going out and shooting up a nightclub -- because the loon happened be blue.. same thing on red side

    Just as fallacious and stupid is some white guy apologizing for "white privilege" .. this is fodder for the foolish .. of which there are many I know .. but just reminding the enlightened PF users what generalization fallacy looks like.

    I'm afraid I'm not seeing the equivalency of your examples. We are seeing a Republican candidate not accepting the results of an election and coordinating shootings at Dem homes. Are there any Dem candidates doing similar?

    I wasn't commenting on that .. was commenting on a poster's big generalization fallacy. No idea if we have dems coordinating any shootings ? but that said .. I am sure Hilly has thought about shooting ol carrot top a time or two :)

    Hillary must have had thoughts of attacking the Capital and accusing voting machine manufacturers of changing her votes to Trumpo’s using room thermostats and North Koreans bringing in Trumpo ballots on boats disguised as lobster boats through small harbors in Maine.

    It was a bullshit proposition I mean, not that some fringe elements weren't saying it. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

    A fallacious argument cannot be fixed by a fallacious argument.

    It wasn't considered trolling when the Muslims got asked to either they one say they don't support terrorism in their name or else they will be regard in supporting it. Shoe is on the GOP foot now. And I'm not hearing a thing from you.

    No .. thats different in ways but either way ... yes it would be trolling .. regardless of who is doing the considering .. generalization fallacy is generalization fallacy in all cases.

    and why do you want me to tell you about the GOP . insinuating that I am part of that crowd .. in some fallacy of a different sort .. the Ad Hom Kind .. coupled with strawman..

    I don't care about your Red and Blue colored Glasses ..my arguments against Trump and the GOP are way better than yours .. and I tell it like it is without color coding .. so get a grip and let er rip .. cause all you have flown is fallacy so far.

    Indeed. And far too little of those people are saying something when they see something. That's for sure.
    Solomon Pena has undoubtingly vented all of this to his friends. I mean, he arranged people to join him on his terroristic plot.
    And those people are not listed in the yellow pages.

    That, and where is Trump? Pena is devoted to that guys MAGA movement.
    Not exactly the first MAGA gimp who through violence wants different election results.
