Charles P Pierce "He doesn't care if she gets killed."

“Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota. Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel. I forgot. I’m so sorry." Trump to RJC crowd, singling out Omar one day after a man was arrested for threatening to kill her and calling her a "terrorist."

Well, maybe ass-kissing penetrates past the eardrums; and the sound of a cash register. Not much else, though.

Seriously, I mean WTF? I disagree, maybe vehemently, with Congressperson Omar on some policies, but anything other than a genuinely shocked and stridently disavowed response to a nutter threatening her is disgusting. We can argue over 'is this a Republic or a Democracy' all day, but in no case should our elected representatives, even the ones we think morons and/or pure evil, be endangered in the public forum representing their constituents.

Islam as a general religion does not devalue women. There are sects within Islam that DO show a lack of regard for women's rights based upon parochial beliefs not necessarily emphasized in the whole of the Koran. In the same way, sects of Christianity have asserted that a woman's place is in the home, and that women are not to usurp the authority of the husband, and that they are to obey their husband's expectations and demands. Institutional inequality between the genders are not the exclusive domain of certain sects of Islam.

It's like Reagan after the Kent State shootings when only 4 were reported dead. "I wish they would have killed more of them." Same f'ing GOP, then and now. Whoever has an alternate viewpoint, opinion, or dares to try to challenge the rich white guys should be killed. They are a soulless party.

I was actually on campus at UCLA at the time. I don't recall it, nor can I find that quote. This is the closest I could get.

https://pastdaily.com/2015/05/05/reagan-has-a-word-about-kent-state-may-5-1970/

I don't think it helps us to expand our circle of anger beyond the tangible.

Reagan Fact: "The MMBA was signed by a former union president. No, it wasn't Jerry Brown. It was Ronald Reagan. By signing the MMBA, Governor Reagan made California the second state in the nation to allow public sector collective bargaining."

We need to talk about that for today's woes.

why the outcry over Trump's ignominious policies Israelis /Palestinian problem is called anti-Semitic instead of anti-Israel.
One can be anti-Israel and not anti-Semitic. This is a tragic political situation that calls for great US/Israel leadership.

i searched limbaugh transcripts and 'omar' and got a lot of hits. limbaugh is 'subtle' in sending /suggesting death threats but knows what he's doing, been doing it for 30 years

"news.iheart.com/featured/rush-limbaugh/content" +omar on IXQ search engine got all this below - they've been attacking her and dems and the left continue to be surprised........

talk radio is very vulnerable thanks to recent developments in artificial intelligence and the ease of digitizing, monitoring and listing advertisers means dems /left can easily destroy the talk radio monopoly. with little action - protests and boycotts - the ad industry will have to start asking political talk radio advertisers if they really want to support trump and global warming denial on those stations - market rejection of trump radio, universities ending their support for it, will do the rest.

here's a few hits, and a search re cortez or AOC will also get a lot of hits - dems cannot collectively say they are getting their backs - and shouldn't complain the about dem party being too far right
