WOW the "antisemitic extremists" are few words said and that somehow makes them extremists, words are not actions.

Man this like the biggest projection I have ever seen when people on the left openly attacked jews, the "mostly peaceful" protests chased actual je3ws who had to lock themselves into a room for safety... Something jews never had to do until WW2 times... Yes the right are the Nazis when actions speak way louder than words and have treated the Jews so badly they had to flee and hide.

Man you like to have the littlelest evidence to attck Trump and use a word salad of an article and like to punish people with a few words said in the pas... We haven't forgotten back in non musk twitter days that people went over tweets in years just to cancel them, get them fired and villanised over the news.

The pro-Hamas "river to the sea" crowd calling anybody else antisemitic is peak lunacy, but you'll find a way to outdo yourselves again and again.

Not really. I'm just pointing out the irony that liberals point fingers at conservatives for something meanwhile the last year+ the single most antisemitic group on earth has been the far left. It's ironic.
Cool, so, what's your actual point? "But other people do it too" isn't a point. Local bank robber goes free after pointing out that other people have robbed bigger banks before.

I can think of three possible arguments someone might think this supports, are any of them close?

1) "Other people are antisemitic, therefore it doesn't matter if my side is (bit of a double standard if you're also implying antisemitism in the left is bad, why not just call it out everywhere?)

2) "Other people are antisemitic, and those other people wrote this article and there's no way they could correctly identify antisemitism in others (I already gave some benefit of the doubt at the start, this is three leaps too far)

3) "Other people are antisemitic, and I'm Just Pointing This Out" (for when the argument wouldn't survive being put into words so best leave it vague, aka deflection for cowards)

No doubt I'm missing the reasonable argument you were trying to make. The one that starts with "but what about..." and ends with "so that's why it's fine that the director of the FBI is buddies with a guy who really liked Mein Kampf", to pick just one example from the article you definitely read before responding. Feel free to fill in the blanks.
 
Australia I'm not sure on what specific on why they reversed course, but I'm going to assume they took one look at the states, went "I don't want that" and then looked at the other candidates, saw a Trump light and went "I don't want that."
Here in Aus, imo that was partly the reason, as a lot of the public thought of the LNP leader (Peter Dutton) as a Temu trump.
We can vote early in the coming weeks before election day, and I've never seen a larger turnout for early voting.
It was a complete bloodbath for the right wing party, and I attribute a lot of it to younger voters who completely reject the hateful policies of the far right.

It's a mystery why NPR would write a hit piece against people in Trump's admin, yet remain silent on the leftwing antisemitism running rampant on college campuses. Could be that Trump is pulling their funding and they are big mad about it. But who knows.

One blank that the left and their propaganda media don't like talking about is the leftist who murdered the Jewish couple in the streets. We all know that's (D)ifferent though.

Cool, so, what's your actual point? Please refer back to the message you replied to. If ignoring certain cases is bad, why are you so keen to dismiss this one as a "hit piece"? What's different here? Surely it's not political alignment, I mean, your entire reply is trying to deflect onto that, it would be incredibly hypocritical.

oh boy posting the tabloid for one again, and the statistical outlier as a means of backing their claim as another. How many times until this guy gets it?

Just pointing out that the people who scream fascist the most conveniently ignore all of the antisemitism and outright murder on their side. It's almost like they are spreading misinformation.

Another example is the same people who were outraged over police officers being attacked on J6 are now attacking federal and local police officers and setting brush fires around LA. There was even video of a "protester" throwing cement blocks at moving police vehicles busting out windshields.

And you are crashing out because I'm pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.

The "statistical outlier" wouldn't be a statistical outlier if there wasn't a history of bullying and intimdating Jewish students on multiple college campuses around the country chanting "from the river to the sea, set Palestine free". That's called escalation. It's domestic terrorism.
 
Just pointing out...
Ah, you have chosen option 3). Thanks for clarifying!

You know, at any point you can just utterly obliterate me by leading by example and condemning the antisemitism equally, be it from college students or . What is your actual opinion on this, for example?
Before becoming FBI director, Kash Patel appeared eight separate times on a podcast hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters, who promotes Holocaust denial. Peters posted a photo of himself holding Hitler's Mein Kampf with the message "visionary leadership." In recent days, he attacked the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, with antisemitic vitriol.
Or you can continue just pointing things out. I love just pointing things out.

Pointing out hypocrisy is important. The best part is watching you all defend and downplay murders, riots, arson, child trafficking, etc. If these are the hills you all want to die on, then by all means, have at it. It's not like your at 19% approval and your media allies' ratings are cratering and experiencing mass layoffs while the country continues shifting to the right, especially Gen Z men.

Then why do you run away every time I've posted the stats on right wing violence being responsible for 74% of politically motivated violence in the US, along with the dozens of examples (names of people charged and arrested, etc) to back those statistics?

Then there's the ever growing list of sexual misconduct by right wingers which includes many examples of assault against children.

I can post them all again if you'd like, but you and I both know how it's gonna play out again if I do.

Because this is a lie.

Child predators don't have a political party. The right wingers get indicted and thrown in prison. The left wingers still roam free.

Feel free to break gbatemp's TOS by posting misinformation.

Ok fine I'll post it all again in a minute here and we can await your response on the data.

You're going to state the the people arrested and their charges are misinformation? That's you're pre-emptive response?

Why is it the Republican party trying to legalize child marriage then?
