Watch MSNBC anchor casually call for drone strikes against US citizens

The OP title is totally made up. The journalist said no such thing. She did, however, shine light on the hypocrisy of the GOP to have no problems with droning foreign terrorists, but at the same time enabling domestic terrorists form the RW. It's been said many times before: One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

 

you seem to be agreeing with me, this was the Trump teams quote, not mine "Trial by Combat"

my quote was this part of the post you replied too "anyone caught on 1-6 storming the capital or planing a future attack should be arrested, tried and imprisoned when found guilty"

so the Trump team forgot that part it seems... you can't just pick out words of a post in quotes and attribute them to the person posting the quote, it's a bit more complicated than that, you know that right?

 

why sould the left "condone" violence

 

I meant condemn

 

I'm still waiting for any rightist to provide a video of the MSNBC host saying the exact words, "we should launch drones against American Citizens."

Until I see that video, this so called controversy is over!


Did I get that right Trump lovers? That's the gist of how you all perceive 1/6/21 regarding Trump, correct?

 

The Link in the OP is an absurdly misguided attempt by an Extreme RW "source" (The Post Millennial) to take Wallace's remarks out of context.

The Ridiculously Misguided "Narrative" that is quite often used by Extreme RW Blogs trying to make something out of the nothing.

I call this sort of obvious Bullcrap (a common RW Tactic) the:

"They didn't say those exact words, but this is what they meant" tactic.

^Obviously, the OP Link uses that misguided tactic and is out-of-context misguided Bullcrap.

To say nothing of that fact that the Ludicrous (out-of-context) Mischaracterization represents an OPINION (and doesn't even belong in Current Events).

Where did Trump say that cops or the govt should start shooting looters? He was talking about shootings happening when looting happen. That’s a verifiable fact. Shootings do start when the looting starts. That’s not political. It’s not a call for anyone to do anything. It was an observation of human behavior.

Just like Trump NEVER told anyone to violently assault anyone at the capital. He specifically said March peacefully. Claiming the words “fighting like hell” meant to take over the capital is dishonest BS and YOU KNOW IT!!! You understand we have loads of politicians saying people should fight for various causes and beliefs. The montages are out there. But FIGHT is not literally attacking people.

Your partisan BS is incredible, dishonest and just laughable.

 

If I tell you to use profanity on this forum and break every rule and then you do, should I be the one to get banned?

 

All you had to do was look at the video, and it would be obvious that she did not say what your headline or your false claim says.

And hiding behind the journalistic integrity of a trashy right wing blog that you probably never heard of until it was fed to you. is as dishonest as. the rest of your posts on this forum have been.

The article you posted was a lie. The headline was a lie.

You were told that repeatedly. And yet you cling to that lie.

Pathetic, but typical for a Trumpster.

 

He knows that. It has been pointed out to him repeatedly.

He knows that his OP is false.

He’s just trolling the thread and being more than normally obtuse.

 

Wow. :smh:

Insulting fellow board members with that kind of disrespectful comment isn't a good look.

It only serves to indicate that any sort of "relevant contribution" that you may have had has worn thin.

Also, your talking point referencing Trump's words on (and before) Jan. 6th is supremely misguided.

Also, this topic is about an absurd mischaracterization of Nicole Wallace's remarks (by an extreme RW blog) and has nothing to do with Trump (or off-topic) "whataboutism"

 

The problem is that millions of people read this kind of cr$p and believe it without a second thought. And then they wonder why the country is so divided. It is as if the extreme RW WANTS the country to fall apart.

 

I think you would share some blame and might get banned as well if you were telling people to do those things and they did, but that is not my call

 

I never supported looters or rioters, yes, I did support the peaceful protestors, same with the ones that were peaceful on jan 6th - there is a difference

 

I'm calling bull. The article doesn't provide the quote. Give me a timestamp or a quote. Otherwise this reeks of propaganda.

 

What did she say? The quotes in the article don't support the claim. The claim is made not with reference to a quote, but as an assertion. Sloppy fake journalism.

 

Welcome everyone to the 1st Anniversary of the 2 Week Lock Down.

 

The only person who told you it would be two weeks was Donald Trump. And that was after he either silenced or banished the experts.

And his do nothing but pretend it is yet another “hoax”, and briefings as campaign events complete with the usual Trump rally show stoppers. He discouraged people from taking precautions.. And promoted irresponsibility and moved phantom armies executing an imaginary plan, which turned out not to actually exist.

So, we all know why the US is the worst in the world when it comes to Corona virus, and why we are all still wearing masks and wanting to go out.

 

That's a very good question. I would say today's left is diametrically opposed to traditional values usually attributed to the left.

Did Barack Obama and John Brennan begin the process with their weekly meetings to decide who would be assassinated by drone, or is it a more recent phenomenon?

 

"We had a policy, and it was very controversial, it was carried out under the Bush years and under the Obama years, attacking terrorism at its root, of going after and killing, in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American, with a drone strike, for the crime of inciting violence," Wallace went on to suggest.

Provided. It literally was the very next para from the story.

 

LOL.. suddenly journalism is important to folks like you.. How novel. Here's the quote. again.

"We had a policy, and it was very controversial, it was carried out under the Bush years and under the Obama years, attacking terrorism at its root, of going after and killing, in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American, with a drone strike, for the crime of inciting violence," Wallace went on to suggest.

 

I think the right has just gone so far crazy right that even real republican look like the left to them

 

I feel the same about the today's left.

I have long identified with liberal values such as universal healthcare and education, but today's left has really gone off the deep end into bed with the deep state.

I have long pointed out that the Left-Right Paradigm is mostly an illusion, that labels are very inadequate in describing things, but today's left is fulfilling all the worst things said about them over the years. It's embarrassing, and I think they know it.

All my liberal friends have become invisible since the election. My theory is that they know damn well the DNC stole the election, and deep inside they are ashamed, so they don't seem to show their faces at social events anymore.

 

Here's the quote. "We had a policy, and it was very controversial, it was carried out under the Bush years and under the Obama years, attacking terrorism at its root, of going after and killing, in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American, with a drone strike, for the crime of inciting violence," Wallace went on to suggest.

The context of the conversation was how to deal with the threat of domestic terror. This was ms Wallace's answer. drone strikes.

In a way I don't blame the left: The Senate is now a junta, who wants to be known as the party that did that? Donald Trump as a piñata is meaningless in world history, the Senate can never escape this moment. And the party responsible for its junta status isn't the rioters on the 6th, or Trump or Republicans(well, save for the 11 who themselves are ignorant of this moment.). It's the Democratic Party.

The judicial system isn't enough for them(well, likely because they themselves suspect and will in a self-confirming junta trial undermine any such case) that there is no case and thus, the need for judgment is 'provided' in these once hallowed halls of the Senate.

It's depressing, to see the Senate turned into a junta and it's even more depressing that senators sit in the Senate to enable it to happen.
