How do you read what Tlaib said...

Been here longer than you have. Plus, most liberals are easy to figure out. Pretty predictable lot, generally.

And you can always catch up to me in the "what God thinks" department. Bibles are still readily available in this country.

Comparing Vegas to any paradise anywhere is akin to comparing fool's gold to the real stuff.

Guess what...Chase Bank, IBM, Ford and General Electric also supported Hitler during World War II...and I haven't seen anything ever made of that. Plus...this has nothing to do with what you started here. You suggested to us that Tlaib meant that the real Holocaust "tragedy" was the suffering of her ancestors...and that wasn't the case at all. And now you come back with another lame reply about her "other stabs at Israel"...as if that somehow lends credibility to this erroneous hypothesis of yours here.

There is enough prejudice in our world, friend...without us having to manufacture even more of it.

Since you've got GOD all figured out...how difficult would it be for you to figure out the LIBERALS?

And then she continued:

"I mean, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post the Holocaust, post the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time, and I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away, right, and it was forced on them. And so when I think about a one-state, I think about the fact that, why couldn't we do it in a better way?"

I mean...while it's clear that the woman sucks as an orator...it's also pretty clear that her message was wholly different than what you presented it to be here. In your heavily edited version...you don't even acknowledge that she called the Holocaust a "tragedy", and a "horrific persecution".

If you think that Tlaib's comment was "anti-Semitic and hate-filled"...what should we call this editing job of yours here?

I take it all back. She's obviously matured into a grand stateswoman. I'll vote for her if she runs for POTUS.

I already said that she sucks as an orator...so, point your smart-alecky comments towards someone else.

I tried to edit out the "was it orated or written" and the site let me...but you caught it too quickly...lol

Tell it to Tlaib...

Go read it again or better yet go listen to it.

Tlaib meant that the real Holocaust "tragedy" was the suffering of her ancestors.

Her words... "the fact that it was my ancestors that had to suffer for that to happen"

That's how it comes off... it is her words spoken. And then we have this.





This is on the map in Tlaib Office? Very Telling... I'd say

I knew someone left NY for Denver and then Vegas.

It's like the sirens luring sailors to the rocky shore. Even though he was 80% betting the horses, the place ultimately gets plenty of the immigrant pros. There are successful gamblers I know who move money between horses and the stock market or poker. You just have to resist the song of the sirens.

More faux outrage.

She is a child of Palestinian immigrants and correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the two-state solution been the stated agenda of the United States going back to 1948?

Your posting this is very telling as well.

Why is Tlaib always seeming to be saying things regarding Jews that are left open to interpretation? She said this, but she meant that. Maybe once can be explained away, but she, apparently, has chosen to ignore the criticisms of two and three more times.

The woman is not stupid; she clearly has an agenda. Don't be stupid by falling for her so-thought miscues or inability to communicate her views coherently. She gained a platform to espouse her hatred for Jews and to a greater degree, garner sympathy for her Palestinian/Muslim ideology...the brown supremacists of the Middle East, as far as I'm concerned.

How is this possible?

That a Muslim-American Congresswoman would have a different point-of-view regarding the Israel/Palestine question.

Not hard at all. I wish all horses were libs because of their great predictive value.
