    "You know, frankly, these folks continue to spew pro-Hamas talking points, continue to spew anti-American, anti-Israel hatred," Lawler said,

    waow-based

    adding that "many of them don’t seem to recognize the irony that if they were actually in Gaza, Hamas would very likely kill them."

    Seems a lot more likely that the IDF would kill me if I were in Gaza, actually

      The fucking blatant "those savages would kill you in an instant you bleeding heart cuckold fool" rhetoric is like something out of the turner diaries

        It's older than that. The classical liberals all believed this shit. In fact John locke, Stuart Mills, Voltaire etc were all racist as shit and owned shares in the British East India Company or outright owned people. Their refrain in India was protecting the women from the "savages" there. Probably the same "reasons" they used for colonizing Africa, China, Southeast Asia, etc... none of this is new.

      Blue hair is out there getting arrested for protesting a genocide while you feel the need to type out personal attacks on an obscure blog site

        I’m not gonna lie, no idea why I commented that. I don’t support what’s happening in Gaza, nor do I sympathize with Netanyahu. I don’t want to be an asshole (but I was) and thanks for calling me out. Apologies to everyone. I’ll leave the comment up unless people think I should take it down. Again, I’m sorry for the comment and the attack.

            Shit happens. At work, it’s a drag, scroll phone in a shitty mood, and take it out. Then reflect because that’s not the type of person I want to be so I apologized.
