    The house is a ranch style and you've never seen me run a bobcat.

    Just sayin'.

    You know, my first reaction was to roll my eyes at an activist complaining about a fantasy football auction.

    But if you watch the clips of how ESPN did this... Goddamn, that's uncomfortable. They got a real auctioneer to hold up a photo of a black man and then auction him off to a crowd of white people.

    That was pretty awful.

    LOL. Sure you were "hacked" Tom, and the hackers decided to send out this one tweet, and the. You were able to log back into your account immediately.

    We're really lucky – this time – that some of those gunned-up yahoos didn't start shooting people.

    This time.

    The mental yoga being done by some people is amazing. Why can't Limbaugh just say Nazis don't represent conservatives and anyone involved in Charlottesville has no place in the Republican party or the label Conservative? Why the pseudo-history? Hell, Limbaugh might be the single person best positioned to save the party and the conservative movement by calling this out.

    It's telling too how Trump and the right wing propaganda orbit supporting him are all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on the deaths of two police officers in conjunction with Nazi Cosplay Weekend. So much for blue lives mattering.

    You are advocating cowardice and blaming a victim for showing up to stand up for what she believed. You act as if somehow this woman deserved to die because she stood up for what she believed. That isn't quite as despicable as your defense of a child molester and the parents who enabled him, but it is quite distasteful.

    You were sort of right about one thing. JC really shouldn't be going on about the worst person on the board, but that comment is just another reminder of who he is. No, we don't really know you. We don't know who you are offline, but I took his comment to be a judgement of who you are on SJ.com. Given your response to this horrible event, I wonder if you have the courage to speak up about much of anything when you aren't at your computer. But we have seen what you are here, the way you have blamed a victim for being run down in the street and the ridiculous lengths you went to in the defense of a man who molested his younger sisters. We can only speak to what we know and those two discussions did not cover you in glory.

    Exactly, and if they were attacking cars, why didn't the mob attack the two cars in front of him? He had a way out and there was no reason to drive into the crowd and the two cars. I'd just hate for made-up shit like this to be used as a defense for him and I'd hate to see him get off like George Zimmerman did.

    If someone looks like they may be a white supremacist, I don't think we should take any chances.

    I say punch first, ask questions later. And, if a journalist or two end up getting punched, well that's the price we have to pay. Besides, who ever heard of a journalist wearing a dress shirt?

    In my company on this message board is one of the premier Clinton historians, and I have never heard this story about this reporter offering bill a hummer. What's the story behind this, YF?
