Joe Biden compares Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Joe Biden blasts Donald Trump with Ku Klux Klan comparisons following mass-shooting blamed on man taking vengeance over 'invasion' from Mexico

  • Democrats pummeled the president on Monday, saying his harsh rhetoric against illegal immigration is responsible

  • The second of the weekend's two mass-shooters was a political liberal who admiredElizabeth Warren, but the first was deadlier and covered more in media

  • Biden is the Democratic presidential front-runner; he says the president is using a racial 'dog whistle' to embolden white supremacists
Y'see, the thing with dog whistles is that since nobody can hear them but Weimeraners and such, you can't deny having used one.

Eventually they'll come to the conclusion Trump's a witch, since there's no way he could have outsmarted and outperformed a bunch of geniuses like them without help from Old Scratch. Impeachment will have to make way for burning at the stake.

#1 ...Joe - and most other Dems these days - wouldn't know a Klansman if one bit 'em in the a$$. (Many years ago, a member of a Southern state law enforcement agency told me that you could probably fit every real, active Klansman in the country into a typical multiplex and have lots of seats left over)

And if they did meet a real, 1870s-1960s era Klansman, they'd wet themselves.

#2 ..guess 'Hitler' and 'Nazi' are losing their effect.

#3 Hate is all they got. They are desperate and know they will lose big in 2020 so we see this. How much violence they will unleash before the election is the question.

After the election, I can see some states seceding and the war start in earnest.

#4 ...well, cities and metro areas with 'downstate' or 'upstate' dragged along.

Be an interesting proposition that we would recognize the departure, but only after a county by county popular vote, with those contiguous counties deciding to remain breaking off and staying with the union.

#5 It would appear the urban war has already started. A well armed rural population is inhibiting the spread.

#6 Trump is a member of the last armed wing of the Dem Party?

A bit unlikely but Biden would know.

#7 One key difference between Trump and the KKK: the KKK members were Democrats

#8 Racist, nazi, klansman, h8ter...they're all slurs, every bit as bad as if I was to call Old Joe a n***** lover. I would never because I understand how offensive that term is. But Joe doesn't seem to understand. I think that every time some progressive uses a word like this to describe someone with whom they disagree, it needs to be thrown back in their face with a vengeance. It is unacceptable. It is highly offensive and it needs to stop. You have a problem with me? Tell me exactly what it is without using offensive language. Let's have a discussion that doesn't rely on insults. Is that even possible? Maybe not. In fact, probably not because they are attempting to defend the indefensible and they know it. Open borders? Medicare for all? Socialism? OK, let's talk about the costs. Steal from the rich until everybody is dirt poor like Venezuela? Let's get real. It's not about race, it's all about greed and power. Their rhetoric is full of holes. They have no logical or legal arguments, only greed and lust for power and so they have no choice but to resort to lies, distortions, insults and slurs. They need to be called on it.

#9 Let's have a discussion that doesn't rely on insults. Is that even possible?


With these people the answer is an unqualified, resounding NO

#10 Projection by Biden. He's looking for something that will stick and he is having trouble. No one is buying this old Dem crapola. The Dems own slavery and racism from the days of the Civil War despite what they say.

#11 Trump should fill the black communities with truth about the Democrat history of slavery, Jim Crow Laws, and urban plantation politics.

#12 I see his average poll numbers on RPC are 31%. Which means that over 2/3 of his own party want someone else. Next year could be very interesting, even without Marianne Williamson.

#13 12 years ago in 2007 we had a horrible crime occur locally. A young white couple were brutalized and murdered by 4-5 black thugs, some with prison records. The girl was raped, sodomized and stuffed in a trash can where she died. The boy was sodomized, shot three times and his body set on fire near the Norfolk-Southern railroad tracks. All of the thugs were eventually tried and convicted. One received the death sentence. The others lesser sentences. Now, one of thugs who received a light sentence is being re-tried under new charges for murder as the result of new evidence.

"Twelve years after the murder of a young Knox County couple, Eric D. Boyd, 47, faces charges including kidnapping, rape and murder. He's accused of having a direct role in the attacks on Chris Newsom, 23, and Channon Christian, 21, in January 2007."

At the time of when the early initial trials began, there were protests in front of the court house. On one side of the street was the KKK, while on the other side were those opposing capital punishment. The police were in between maintaining order. The KKK didn't amount to a very large crowd and were from outside the community. The anti-capital punishment crowd, likewise not that large, were mostly students, faculty from UT and local Quakers from the community.

I agree with an earlier comment from Mike K, there is not much clan activity around here that I'm aware of. During the past 40 years, I've not heard much of the KKK around here. I think the clan is mostly political fodder from the left-wing hate grist mill.

At the time of this horrific crime, I think that most of the community wouldn't have minded if this crew had strung up. The only other time that I'm aware that feelings were running that high was when a bunch of young Satanists who were into witchcraft killed a young Swedish couple and their child near a rest stop north of here off I81. Their little boy survived after being shot in the face. Most people are good but occasionally some very bad people are running around out there. Both of these stories would certainly justify people carrying a concealed firearm. It might not have prevented either of these crimes but at least it might have given the victims a chance.
