ou said that the "means by which the rabid right" got it's information was not effected.
I agreed with the point, though I dropped your partisan spin.
I went on to make a point that my original concern was more about the more moderate voters.
That was not a "backhanded insult". That was my conceding your point. There was no insult at all.
"might have learned to ignore the propaganda spouted by people like you"
Then you besmirch and sow mistrust of my fellow Americans and try to instill faithlessness in our democratic elections with:
"they are not an informed electorate, but a MISINFORMED electorate."
"And the election is thus not legitimate."
I completely disagree.
DO you believe that President Trump said that ws were "very fine people"?
I don't have to believe what he said, we have recordings.
Reporter: "Mr. President, are you putting what you’re calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?"
Trump: "I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs -- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch.
"But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left -- you just called them the left -- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: (Inaudible) "… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the --"
Trump: "Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides -- I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say."
Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"
Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and
you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."
Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."
Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner........"
On Aug. 15, 2017, President Donald Trump held a press conference to discuss an executive order he had signed on infrastr

And thank you for proving my point that you people are the ones pushing propaganda and lies.
That you can stand by that lie, after it has been so repeatedly and completely debunked, shows that you are beyond saving.
That you people SUCCESSFULLY pushed that lie, and made it stick, is incredible.
That the American voters, as a group, were
SUCCESSFULLY LIED TO THAT THE US PRESIDENT WAS SYMPATHETIC TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS, MAKES THE ELECTORATE MISINFORMED AND THE ELECTION ILLEGETIMATE.
Crocodile tears. Both sides do it. Recall the "You didn't build that" campaign.
So, you admit it was a political lie. THank you.
Your lie though was massively successful. I can think of nothing more damaging in this day and age, as being smeared with the ws label.
And by that fact, you undermined the election.
FRAUD BY DECPETION.
Well that is was the Republican tactic, completely lie about the context of what was said, whereas the part of the Trumpyberra quote they emphasized was half true in that the Grumpster was trying to equivocate and satisfy both sides.
Romney gained ground back in 2012 after they used that attack ad campaign too. Furthermore the Trumpybear campaign embraced a very deceptive campaign against Sec. Clinton in 2016.
Sounds like you guys can dish it out alright, but when the tables are turned, you cry "Fraud"!
Irrelevant.
THe point stands. THe voters were misled on a massive scale.
AND, as per the op, also intimidated.
Thus, not a legitimate election.
Not in the slightest bit true. Trump is most definitely a white supremacist, and Charlottesville was the first time he dropped the mask after the election. ...
....
From the speech you people lied about then and are still lying now.
"And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists."
That is what he actually said about ws.
If the American people were told what Trump really said, instead of what you people believe he meant, it could very likely have changed the outcome of the election.
Yes, you also had neo-confederates and kkk and other assorted racists. So that's who was "very fine people."
If you people had attacked him, on the basis of your DISAGREEMENT with his opinion of who was at the rally, that would have been a legitimate disagreement, that we could debate ad nauseum.
BUT, instead you pretended that he AGREED with you, that only ws of various stripes were there, on the side of the statues, and then you clearly and purposefully LIED ABOUT WHAT HE SAID,
in order to support your belief that Trump was a ws.
That was a massive lie, that you held together as a group, and thus sold to the American voters.
By and large, the American voters believe(d) that Trump is/was sympathetic towards ws.
That BY itself would have a HUGE impact on the election, quite possibly changing it's outcome.
Thus, FRAUD BY DECEPTION.
AND, as per the op, it was not by itself.
It's what he said, loser. You're the one trying to read his mind by guessing he believed there were non-racists there; but he never said that's what he believes. That you saying g that's what he believes. It's too bad he didn't say that himself.
i quoted him repeatedly, and explicitly stating that he was not referring to the ws.
That bit where you keep tryhing to conflate ws with wacist? We all see what you are doing. Knock that bullshit off.
"Those people -- all of those people – excuse me, I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch."
Yes, he condemned many different groups but not all of them. He supports many hate groups, including the Proud Boys who he told to stand by; which they did for him until Insurrection Day.
You are being silly now. His meaning was clear. He was condemning the ws groups but sticking up for regular people who supported the historical statues.
And you people, instead of voicing your disagreement with his take on it,
LIED ABOUT WHAT HE SAID, AND CLAIMED HE WAS BEING SUPPORTIVE OF WS.
How many people do you think voted against Trump because they believed that he was a WS?
AND
"His meaning was clear."
Translation: you're trying to read his mind
Thanks for finally admitting that.
For 4 years Trump said horrible things and the next day every time Correll would come here and tell us what he meant was.....
His general style is to ramble and jump around and be unclear. It invites discussion on his meaning.
IN THIS INSTANCE, he was very careful and very clear. His response was almost perfect. We have complete tapes and transcripts of everything he said. There is no doubt about what he said, or what he meant.
IN THIS INSTANCE, you people are just lying.
IN THIS INSTANCE, you're completely full of shit. If it was as clear as you claim, Kelly, Spicer and Trump would not have spent 3 days trying to spin his comments into something completely different from what Trump actually said that day.
When President Trump WANTS to be clear, he is. There is no mistaking what he's said. When President Trump wants to "send messages" to people, he rambles, jumps around, evades and obfuscates. The guys he's sending "dog whistles" to get the message, loud and clear, and they understand.
Just like the Proud Boys understood "Stand back and stand by" was not an order to "stand down", which is what Trump claimed he really meant. Richard Spencer, the leadership of the Proud Boys, the KKK and other far right militias listed "uniting the American white supremacist movement" as one of the goals of the rally,
Charlottesville used the cover of "protecting Confederate monuments" to march past a synagogue during Friday night services, chanting "The Jews will not replace us". There were NEVER good people protecting the Confederate monuments, the entire event was a show of force by white supremacists, neo-NAZI's, and the KKK that they are in power now, and that non-white, non-Christians had better know who is in charge here.
Trump made a number of false statements about the rally - that the violence started because "one side" came armed with clubs and baseball bats and went after the other. That much was true, but he implied it was the "violent leftists", when in fact it was the Proud Boys who came dress in kevlar and helmets, armed with bats and clubs. They sent 30 leftist protestors to the hospital in Friday. On Saturday, one violent white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of protestors, killing one and send 16 to hospital. But Trump only talked about the "leftist violence", and one "deranged" person.
Violent right wing terrorists are characterized by Republicans as "mentally ill" individuals, while violence from leftists if portrayed as radical leftist terrorism. Just as BLM protestors are "thugs" and the right wing terrorists are protesting lockdowns are called "patriots".
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Those words are really clear.
