I don't care what some chick(dude?) from London says. She's off base anyways.

GOP lawmaker: Politicians in favor of tearing down Confederate symbols should be 'lynched'

A Mississippi Republican lawmaker has apologized after calling for the lynching of politicians who approve of the removal of Confederate monuments.
State Rep. Karl Oliver expressed his frustration over the weekend with a growing movement to get rid of monuments that critics say celebrate slavery.
"The destruction of these monuments, erected in the loving memory of our family and fellow Southern Americans, is both heinous and horrific," he posted on Facebook Saturday. "If the, and I use this term extremely loosely, 'leadership' of Louisiana wishes to, in a Nazi-ish fashion, burn books or destroy historical monuments of OUR HISTORY, they should be LYNCHED!"

"Let it be known, I will do all in my power to prevent this from happening in our state," added Oliver, who has been in the state legislature since 2016.
But after widespread criticism from both sides of the political aisle, the post was removed from Oliver's account and the lawmaker said he was "very sorry" Monday.
"I, first and foremost, wish to extend this apology for any embarrassment I have caused to both my colleagues and fellow Mississippians," he said in a statement. "In an effort to express my passion for preserving all historical monuments, I acknowledge the word 'lynched' was wrong."
"I am very sorry. It is in no way, ever, an appropriate term. I deeply regret that I chose this word, and I do not condone the actions I referenced, nor do I believe them in my heart," Oliver added. "I freely admit my choice of words was horribly wrong, and I humbly ask your forgiveness."
Several of the state's top Republicans, including Mississippi GOP chairman Joe Nosef, condemned the remarks when reached for comment Monday.
"Rep. Oliver's comments were offensive, do not represent the Mississippi Republican Party and have no place in our public discourse," Nosef said in a statement. "I hope he will quickly clear up his remarks to make his point without these inappropriate comments."
In response, several users posted photos of black Americans being lynched in Oliver's Facebook thread, while others called for him to leave office.
The state's Democratic Party didn't have an immediate response. But David McDowell, the head of the Mississippi Democratic Trust, an organization that helps elect Democrats to office, said Oliver's "very treacherous and threatening language" was "shocking."
"Mississippi's history of lynchings is a long and sordid one, a history we should often reflect upon and never take lightly," he said. "Words like these aren't to be thrown around. Representative Oliver should be ashamed of himself; he knows better."

Obviously neither side has a monopoly on idiots and hate.

This is human beauty?

I can't say I'm too surprised. This is essentially the current platform of the Democrat party although they usually have the courtesy to dress it up with some feel good platitudes.

This individual sounds like they have some deep-seated emotional issues, and probably swallowed too much propaganda from far left websites and communities.

This much appears to be correct. Yet it's funny how you tied to tie it into the media and the Democratic party.

I guess the same could also be said about the right wing media and the Republican platform about the representative from Mississippi I posted about who promoted lynchings?

psst Munroe Bergdorf the world does not revolve around you. Get over it butthead.

Nice deflection, Teflon Man!

Another quality comment...

But I digress;

I don't agree or care much for the Trans Model's or the Politician's comments. They are both despicable and hateful. I've also noticed that posters always try to use these types of posts to somehow legitimize or lend credibility to their beliefs rather political, racial, religious, etc. Most do it knowing full well that it will only draw disdain the opposition.

I'm probably guilty of this to an extent as well, but lately I've been wondering if and why we can't somehow elevate the conversation on here. I mean I love bashing 40, Eve, and others but seriously, I'd like to know their 'real' opinions and what drives them. I'd like a true exchange every now and then...

Now I honestly think 40 and Eve and I do that occasionally, but much of the posting in this forum is just chest thumping and one upmanship on a daily basis. It's getting tiresome to be honest.

I stand by what I said about the Democratic party. Lots more where that came from.

I don't condone or agree with what that state representative said about lynchings. I'm not sure why you brought that up all these months later though. What do you think about the Democratic state representative that wrote that she hopes Trump is assassinated?

There's always a possible tit for tat and nastiness on both sides. You know this.

Yeah both sides are full of crap. Thanks for contributing to the debate.

I think that person is terrible in what they said!

And there is always a tit for tat. That's exactly what I was pointing out when I posted my article on this thread.

And I stand by what I said that both parties are just as guilty of it. I refuse to praise one over the other when they're just as guilty of the exact same thing.

I notice you seem to refuse to admit that.

Those on the left and right who say such silliness deserve the consequences of their own stupidity.

... don't necessary agree with the person either but again name-calling and boorishness, likely motivated by bigotry, only makes you look like the idiot and expose your insecurity.

Like you didn't try to draw it in to your attitude?



Just saying Roy.


Be real when I am reading.

That's name calling.

Well good morning little fella. I hope the demons in your head take it easy on you today. I will continue to hope all of your personal problems can one day be solved. In the mean time I will keep asking God to
