Rob Reiner: "There are not fine people on both sides."

@robreiner

The racist massacre in Buffalo rest at the feet of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and the GOP. There are not fine people on both sides.

has any concept of responsibility for it. I think trump is quietly proud of the shooter and Carlson feels the same--this is what they want. As for the GOP in general, they will just turn the other way.

Any proof can be seen in the coverage of this weekend’s Roe rallies.

Granted, I can only speak about the rally in downtown Portland (Oregon). Went with some Indivisible friends. The park was PACKED with people - every last one of ‘em completely peaceful. LOTS of great protest signs!

But that’s how OUR side of the aisle behaves. The nogoodniks and violent people and destructive people are on the OTHER side (and WEREN’T there!).

How peaceful were we? Spotted one or two police cars driving by, taking a look, and then continuing down the road. We posed no trouble or threat of violence and/or misbehavior. Small park area. Packed, with more people spilling over across the street. So many people you couldn’t see to the end.

There's nothing "fine" about racists, bigots or murderous or violent haters. Nothing at all. They are the embodiment of toxic waste.

Might have inspired Open Season? “Kill ‘em all” is their fervent wish. I know because I’ve heard it all my life from the hatefully ignorant.

Including some "Christian" relatives, who George Orwell wrote about, as did Eric Hoffer.

Thanks Rob Reiner, and kpete for posting.
