No I'm not leftynyc Feb 2015 #41

you know very well that for at least a few weeks the General Forum was flooded with anti-Muslim Douglas Carpenter Feb 2015 #43

If it's anti-Muslim leftynyc Feb 2015 #47

the stuff that was flooding the forum went a lot farther than that Douglas Carpenter Feb 2015 #48

Seems a few of us missed it leftynyc Feb 2015 #50

I think you're being intentionally obtuse - but just go back a review post from January 7 to 14 Douglas Carpenter Feb 2015 #55

Uh - no leftynyc Feb 2015 #60

Here's two links to posts containing anti-Muslim bigotry... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #118

Uh - yes. There was a post hidden in that thread that linked to a hate site... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #119

I've got a question for you... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #131

Do you really need leftynyc Feb 2015 #134

No, what I need for you to do is to answer the question I asked you... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #136

They're two phrases leftynyc Feb 2015 #173

That's how I feel about both phrases used about any minority group... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #174

I also don't know if the statement that the majority of terrorism in the past has been by Muslims BainsBane Feb 2015 #141

It's not true. Here's some information on terrorism... Violet_Crumble Feb 2015 #172

This happened in my area. Nothing reported about being a Christian or terrorist. benz380 Feb 2015 #10

When Eve Carson was shot in 2011 at UNC, Are_grits_groceries Feb 2015 #21

That's true. It was wall-to-wall coverage. OneGrassRoot Feb 2015 #25

she was the campus president and was shot multiple times and left dead in street zazen Feb 2015 #42

A triple muder at a high profile school gets little or no Are_grits_groceries Feb 2015 #54

sounds like media abetting a police coverup carolinayellowdog Feb 2015 #75

Which would imply it was their being Muslims that got the coverage muriel_volestrangler Feb 2015 #93

I think it's irresponsible to call this shooter a "terrorist" until we get more totodeinhere Feb 2015 #37

Can we rule out "patriot exercising his freedoms?" Sheesh. He's a terrorist. Vinca Feb 2015 #39

"terrorist" has a very specific meaning pipoman Feb 2015 #65

Not according to this. totodeinhere Feb 2015 #94

No... he hated Muslims and let them know about it uponit7771 Feb 2015 #96

I don't buy the whole thing was over a parking space. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #80

Of course you don't. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #82

What would I prefer it be? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #87

You tell me. You say you don't buy it, so what do you think it was? cleanhippie Feb 2015 #138

You tell me. your the one who made the statement. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #139

Why is that so difficult for you to believe? The police do. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #140

I never said it was impossible but considering his views and actions I think it is very possible hrmjustin Feb 2015 #142

Possible, but not very, or even likely. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #145

Time will tell. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #146

And if proven to be a dispute over a parking spot, will you reflect on your inherent bias cleanhippie Feb 2015 #149

Bias? i think not. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #150

Then on what do you base your opinion, if not bias? cleanhippie Feb 2015 #152

He did terrorise these people and the family made clear it was not only about parking. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #155

Most murders in this country are committed by Christians, yet very few have anything to do cleanhippie Feb 2015 #157

Actually I did know enough and nothing you presented has changed my mind. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #159

You can continue to defend your inherent bias, but it's making you look silly. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #161

Making it personal as usual. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #163

No more personal than you've already made it. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #165

Well as usual it is a pleasure. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #167

More for you, I'm sure. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #168

why is that so hard to believe? It's not unbelieveably absurd like people rising from the dead. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #143

His views and actions suggest it was a hate crime. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #144

No, they don't. Even the police don't think that's what it was, yet you feel strongly about it cleanhippie Feb 2015 #147

And the police are never wrong? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #148

Irrelevant, and a distraction from your obvious bias. You called him an anti-theist terrorist. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #151

I made the claim I don't buy the story. i admit I might be wrong but I agree with the family hrmjustin Feb 2015 #153

You claimed he was an anti-theist terrorist. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #154

i just answered. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #156

No, you deflected. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #158

Whatever! hrmjustin Feb 2015 #160

So we agree then, you deflected. cleanhippie Feb 2015 #162
