    Tal, where did Trump say there were good people on both sides? He certainly didn't say it in the quote Tom posted above.

    He did say there were very fine people on both sides .And indeed there were on both the protest and counter protest . It is too easy and intellectually lazy to say that the protest only involved white racists and Antifa. Do you think the President said there were fine people in Antifa too ? The context of Trump's comment was that there were pro-statue, anti-statue people assembled there . Trump also said "
    "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. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee."

    did you see the snowflake from NYU confront Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the victims and blame her for the attack because she spoke out against anti-Semitism ? The left is going insane here . And of course Chelsea being a good lib could not defend herself .

    But the right is locked and loaded, and massacring people at places of worship. Of course the dufus blows it off as a small group of people and the Aussie senator says it's because of an invasion of foreigners.

    Both Trump and the Aussie Senator are correct. I can't tell you how many times I was corrected when I said things like Islamic terrorist that it was unfair to smear a whole group for the actions of a small group.

    It's funny how when a Moslem does something, we are reminded a million times that they are not representative of all Moslems, but should a white person do something, then all white people and Trump get pulled into it. You wait in vain for a liberal to tell us that very few white people are racist terrorists.

    Spare me the boohoo victim stuff. I never said anything about all white people. The dufus and the senator were stoking hate and fear from their right wing constituents and they are both wrong for the rhetoric. They put themselves in it by opening their big mouths and the dufus does it daily.

    Disgusting.

    Yeah. Thank goodness no liberal democrats engage in stoking hate and fear.

    Every loyal republican can stand up and say with happiness, "Thank goodness we are not the party of Maxine Waters, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and other similar hate-filled crazies."

    You actually think that dingbat bottom feeder Anning is correct? It is like saying migration is an excuse for blowing away people you don't like. There is a big difference between a community that would not condemn terrorists in their midst and a deranged gunman who was so much of a coward he went to a foreign country to carry out his atrocity.. Dump should not connect the dots either, he should have better sense, but then he lacks leadership

    He didn't . He responded to a specific question

    Pound another egg on the idiots head! Yeah I know its wrong, but appropriate!

    Could not agree more, however, you cannot just assault someone otherwise you are no better than the terrorist. We need a system of weeding out idiots before they are elected

    obviously the system we have isn't idiot proof

    Ours system is substantially flawed, or maybe we have too many idiots.

    During a press conference Friday,Trump was asked if he sees " that white nationalism is a rising threat around the world?" His response was
    "I don't really. I think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, I guess,"

    If he was asked about Muslim terrorism and gave that response he would've been praised .

    You cannot please the Trump haters. His answer was right on target, but that doesn't matter to them.

    No he would, and it would be his normal tone deaf lying insult.

    At least after this horrendous tragedy NZ will look to tighten already strict gun laws, unlike here where we give sympathy and prayers after mass shootings even if they are our kids.
