Rep. Omar faces backlash from Republicans

[Andsed]

I have already outlined several other policies she advocates that people have grounds to disagree with. Stop being intentionally naive and obtuse.

What policies does she advocate that justify death threats?

....Are you serious right now? We have not been saying the death threats are justified. We are saying that people can Omar without being racist.

This is getting old. No one on NSG has supported or endorsed the death threats. Why do you continue to try and make it appear otherwise?

[Neutraligon]

I don’t hate the lass, but in a attempt to appease both Muslim and American alike she has (by poor wording and a poorly thought out speech) marginalized the disaster of 9/11. That’s a feature that’s leaves a distasteful opinion of someone.

Your mask is slipping there bud.

OK, let's rephrase the question. What proportion of the people hurling death threats at her do we know have been doing so because of her policy positions?

"Working for the Muslim Brotherhood" is obviously a policy position.

Okay Vass have you not been reading my posts? No one has said the death threats are justified or okay. Our argument against Druulis has only been that you can criticize Omar without being racist. Please cut the bullshit.

Did you read mine? I'm not saying that it's the only possible reason. I'm asking what proportion have actually been doing it for other reasons.

Crazy people exist. What's your point?

And that question has nothing to do with my argument.

Yeah the people threatening to kill her probably are not wholly concerned with having a debate over her policies, and probably aren't influenced mostly by them in their horrid threats. What is your point?

Well you seem to be looking for excuses to attack a Muslim woman for spurious reasons. Also as all this feigned outage came about because Omar was critical of Israel I have reason to suspect that all this sudden concern over 'respecting 9/11 victims' is entirely in bad faith.

I find it funny that your complaining people about feigning outrage but now your here feigning outrage as well and doing some serious mental gymnastics to try and find something to call us racist with.

It doesn't take much when all you have is an out of context quote.'

Well then it is a good thing that quote is not the only problem many of these so called racist have with Omar. I don't see why you seemly do not get that people can not like Omar and not be racist.

So not knowing the full story makes you racist? Man, we all must be vicious, vicious racists.

Every time you overheard part of a conversation and made an assumption? Well, that was clearly racist.

Friend only told you part of the story? Wow, how racist!

Heard something out of context? Goddamn, you might as well go join your local racist group.

Unless there's somehow an exception when it comes to Omar. I wonder what it could be...

I'm really not, actually. I am just being sensible, unlike you, and putting forward the shocking realization that people can disagree with Omar and not have anything to do with attacking her race or religion. Again, stop pathetically trying to frame everyone who has disagreements as nothing but racists and bigots, because this is clearly not the case.

Hell, I havent even said I disagree with her myself or anything. I literally have not said a single thing about Omar, and am only saying that there are reasons to disagree with Omar that have nothing to do with race, which you seem utterly unable to comprehend. It's like you are trying to say that the fact she is Muslim and female suddenly makes her immune to any sort of disagreement.

theoretically, sure. but almost nobody is actually doing that

"I Am Proof You Have Not Forgotten" is most certainly racist in nature.

[Bear Stearns]

Omar's foreign policy is the only rational thing about her. What an odd thing to criticize.

Sure it is, but 'almost nobody is actually doing that' is a broad statement that requires backing. Unless almost everyone agrees with that, it isn't the backing needed.

That's an extremely general and broad statement you're making. Also sounds quite hyperbolic. Got any backing for it?
