    Default Democrats, please explain this.

    How can the Democrat party, the party of tolerance, love, peace, inclusion, non racism, etc., and whatever other bullshit they sling be reduced to this? Something is not adding up here. Lucy, you got some splaining to do!



    House to vote on resolution 'opposing hate' as Democrats try to end infighting over Omar comments

    House Democratic leaders hoped to end the first major internal fight of their new majority by going ahead with a vote Thursday on a resolution “opposing hate,” with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying they needed to "remove all doubt" after comments made by freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar.

    Party leaders have struggled this week to negotiate a compromise over how to handle a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, initially crafted with the intent to soothe members offended by Omar, who faced a new wave of criticism for ostensibly perpetuating stereotypes against Jews.

    A new 7-page text of the resolution was finalized early Thursday afternoon, ahead of an imminent floor debate just hours away, expanding its language beyond anti-Semitism to add condemnation of anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities as hateful expressions of intolerance contrary to values and aspirations of the United States.

    The measure, which does not name Omar, also adds language to acknowledge "the harm suffered by Muslims and others from the harassment, discrimination, and violence that result from anti-Muslim bigotry," and condemning the death threats received by Jewish and Muslim Members of Congress, "including in recent weeks." more here: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hous...ry?id=61530819

    Pelosi says Omar had no intent of anti-Semitism!

    Given that the nation has decided to rebuke trump's attack on Muslims, and more people realize that Israel is a terrorist organization with Bebe in control, career politicians find themselves between a rock and a hard place.

    The Israel voting block, one of many single issue demographics, must be coddled at any cost. Schumer is one of the worst offenders, but not the only one.

    But...to attempt to force the silence of the few who will speak out against Israel by purposely conflating anti Zionism with anti Semitism, the House found themselves in a sticky spot.

    Pander to a single demographic and alienate the majority of Democrats, or make the statement much more broad, which actually has merit.

    The problem has been that there isn't a Muslim lobby, the way there is an Israel lobby.

    Nothing vague about it. Democrats lie through their teeth about being the party of "tolerance" and "inclusion".

    LMAO. If you don't think Israel is a problem, then you aren't paying attention

    Israel is not a problem. Never has been.

    Which is why you are so confused, and in need of an 'explanation'?

    And Hillbag showed no intent to commit gross negligence.
    I see a pattern
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Illegal Settlements.
    People can have a disagreement with Israeli policies and not be anti-semitic at the same time.

    Illegal settlements are not what is driving the Democrat anti semitic sentiment in this country. Just pure bigotry.

    Just look at who they vote into office and you will find out how wrong you are, Obviously, they are the party of inclusion, quite different than the fat old white man party. You have nothing. as usual.

    Is Bernie Sanders bigoted towards Jews? Or, are you spouting off opinions?
