I'm debating a virulent right winger on the KRDO.com website in Colorado Springs, home of RWNJs and religious fascists - also location of the planned parenthood shooting. I stated that republican politicians drum up hate for people or organization, and at some point some mentally unbalanced person snapped. Well he's challenging me for proof. If I was on my PC I'd take on this task by myself, but I'm on an iPad, which is a bitch to cut and paste with (I must be missing something). Can anyone provide any links of ANY republican politician that has said inflammatory statement that may have led to violence? You would be doing me and us a great service and I would be very grateful. I would even take you off my ignore list. Please help!!!
Doesn't have to be about PP. Anything that show incitement by politicians, including Trump, Fiorina, Cruz, whatever!
Thank you!

the edges so the blue highlight covers the passage. Then
you choose copy.
Go to the place you want to put the text, press on that space
and then hit paste. Voila!

(19,829 posts)out that the shooter did not try to rob the bank because it was pretty far from where he parked. I even posted a map. No one would accept even the shooters statements. They are even calling it a "False Flag Operation" to support Planed Parenthood and sacrificed one of their own to prove it. It is easier to talk race relations to a life long KKK member.

(5,751 posts)Do they not think the bank would know if it had a robbery gone bad? Would the tellers notice? Would there be any mention at all in the news? Just because someone at the bank saw something across the street and called 911, somehow validates their lies.

You will never get through to a believer entrenched in their position. Ever.

(19,705 posts)The source of such nonsensical thinking is much, much closer to home. It ain't just RW evangelicals that believe these absurdities and use faith-based thinking over logic and reason.
Head over to the Religion group for a plethora of examples.

(19,829 posts)after hearing shots and the bank called it in so the police went there first. Or someone outside called 911 from a cell phone about hearing shots fired and the police rolled and saw a bank and thought that was were the shots were from. Until probably the UCC police officer said it was at planned parenthood before he died.
These people jump at the first report being the most accurate, when all evidence always says the first report is the least accurate.
I guess that is why my account at DI got locked "for evaluation" for 5 days since I really don't fit in with the New "freerepublic".

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio told an Iowa-based TV station that women are being pushed into abortions by organizations like Planned Parenthood that then profit from selling fetal tissue.
Now what you've done is you've created an industrynow what you've done is you've created an incentive for people to be pushed into abortions so that those [fetal] tissues can be harvested and sold for a profit, the Florida senator said Monday in an interview with KCCI.
(Clip)
Asked if his claim about women being pressured into abortions was a stretch, Rubio held firm. Absolutely, he said. If you go to one of these centers young women are provided very few options. In many places they're not told anything about, for example, adoption services that might be available to them. In essence, you come in and it's already predetermined. This is the directionthis is what this place does. It provides abortions, and we are going to channel you in that direction.

The problem that I have with Planned Parenthood is the abortion situation. It is like an abortion factory, frankly."

Could be one. I'm still looking for others. I know they're out there because we see them all the damn time. But finding them using the right keywords when names escape you is difficult.
