Pence brutally harassed in NY!

[bodyman5000 and 1]

You are correct. Liberal NY City may give the cast the key to the city for it.

I thought they got that for the supposedly nonwhite only casting call they supposedly put out.

Notice I said supposedly twice?

That's the problem with the disease called "Liberalism." They advocate against bigotry, misogyny, sexism, racism and promote tolerance until you disagree with their world view. Then they have every right to be racist, misogynist, sexist and intolerant (bigotry) towards those they disagree with. There are millions of examples of this hypocrisy.

I have very little respect for Mike Pence's political stances but I have to admit I was surprised and impressed by his response to the Hamilton furor. Instead of getting butt hurt like his boss, he took the high road. He (apparently) understands that the First Amendment is one of the strongest and most important foundations on which this country was built. And yes, dissent IS what freedom sounds like. At least we have one guy in the White House who appears to understand American history......maybe he'll actually help curb some of Donny's darker impulses over the next four years.

Yes, Donny's thinned skin was so thin that he said positive messages towards Hillary and Barrack O when he could have rubbed in his victory for the world to see. It was so thin that he invited Mitt Romney, the biggest advocate of the "Never Trump" movement that called him a fraud and tried to use McMuffin to run in Utah so Trump would lose that State, to interview for the Secretary of State position.

Labeling "thinned skin" for pushing back when liberals usually have open season of their out of control bigotry is a failed logic. Sorry your narrative failed. I have a feeling he will prove many of you wrong this term.

Beware of the rude chest thumping after the show

I think it's worth noting that actors and entertainers get booed pretty often..I agree about the Eagles concert...I've seen that happen before..went to see a reggae concert with my son and the singer seemed to want to make all the white people in the audience uncomfortable with his rants..Apparently it was OK for him to accept our Babylonian money to perform .Crosby Stills, Nash and Young do a lot of that too.....I think insulting people at your performance IS in very bad taste but I heard the speech to Pence and honestly what I heard was a polite, civil plea to a newly elected govt official.....Pence didn't have any problem with it...Trump was way off base with his tweet....especially the "I hear it's overrated" barb...

It was a distraction from what really happened to him. We'll be getting 4 years of these kinds of things (assuming he's not impeached before then..which i don't think will happen though).

ok....let's hope he does but mags you're flaunting the divisionary schpiel again....and I thought you wanted to make America great again? If Trump can be civil to a democrat.....you should learn by example and hug a bunch of liberals today singing "We are the world" in falsetto

 

[Chris Craig]

Why would Pence go to a show full of people he hates and despises anyway? He should have known he would proably get booed. Hell, he is going to get booed almost every where he goes, as will Trump. They should get used to it. As for the cast, they did not harass him, they presented him with a plea to not turn his back on the diversity of this country. They thanked him for coming to the show for God sake, hardly harassment.

 

[magnifier661]

That's the problem with the disease called hyperbole.

What have I said that was blown out of proportion? The democrats and media slammed Trump and his followers for possibly protesting the results of the election. Some liberal rags even had collages with a bunch of white men with Ar15s, pitchforks and torches. But ironically we now have thousands liberals burning cars, looting and violently rioting in the streets in protest of Trump winning the election and the democrats and MSM say that's democracy.

Now if we want to talk about hyperbole and straw man arguments, how about we discuss how the left is trying to paint Trump and his followers as racist, bigots and deplorable. FAIL

Mike Pence is interesting. Kasich was Trump's preference for VP (and then Chris Christie, until Paul Manafort hilariously manipulated Trump into choosing Pence) and Kasich famously reported the following:

One day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?
When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.
Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?
“Making America great again” was the casual reply.

So, if that holds good with Pence, it would be kind of important to know a bit more what he thinks.

I can't help but think that there are a significant number of Republican legislators who are itching to bring it about that Donald Trump was just the delivery system for President Pence. Then Paul Ryan gets to get rid of Medicare no problem, and we can scrap all of this nonsense about infrastructure spending.

A respectful plea from a cast of mostly gay and people of color to respect America's values is terrible and requires apology, even though the person supposedly "insulted" says he wasn't.

Assaults on African-Americans, Latinos, gays, women, Muslims, vandalizing Black churches, in the name of Trump - no apology.

Insulting a former POW, a Gold Star family, a television journalist, a disabled reporter, Mexicans collectively, women collectively, Muslims collectively - no apology.

Saturday Night Live parody - MUST APOLOGIZE!!!!

Wow, I can't believe you just posted this. Last time I checked, this was a free country. Typical left argument is to blame the conservative victim for liberals acting a fool. LOL

You are aware that the Occupy and MSM reported on uncollaborated reports of the racist vandalism was fake right?

The KKK parade announcement - fake

The Muslim that accused white Trump supporters pulling her hijab off -fake

The church that was burned and had a swastika was later find out it was 2 Jewish Clinton supporters.

I can go on and on. The hyperbole is strong with you crandac.

Yes, it is a free country, at least for now. People have the right to boo, or make a plea to a government official, just as both of us have the right to express our opinions in these threads.

I'm starting to really understand your fascination with Trump....you're really kind of stuck in a left/right struggle when there's so much more to this country than that...it's time to get over it mags...There's no asshole scoreboard and no winner in the world of Dems and Republicans....there are idiots angry at Trump and there are idiots angry at the response to his election....sensationalizing them doesn't make wrongs right....Trump is a jerk but I'm not spray painting swastikas or busting up buildings in downtown Portland....there are way more Americans who protest or support this election without destruction or name calling......

 

[riverman]

And it's my right to call the cast at Hamilton fascist bigots for pushing a political agenda in a play.

with this tactic, you accomplish nothing ...you don't have to go see that play or any of the work of those actors...boycott if you don't approve..name calling is not leading by example....show me how a responsible Republican would deal with adversity using civility....Pence did that. Trump didn't.

I don't agree with this guy on gay marriage at all but I'll give him props for sticking to it assuming he isn't just doing it for his donors.

That's probably a huge assumption by the way.

"millions of examples"

I love the subtle msg the Japanese entourage used by presenting Trump with a solid gold golf club....sort of a retirement gift akin to our gold watch ritual here in the States!

This may end up being the most hilarious presidential term ever! Hopefully there's a responsible adult in the room to call time outs when it gets looney!

Would you like me to start a thread called "the millions of examples." I guarantee you I can name a million or more. Will be an epic thread yo!

Geez! This isn't a First Amendment issue! It is a about decorousness, especially the lack of by the cast.

The next time I show up in the river with the MarAzul and if you come to see her, I promise not to insult you for being a fucking liberal. It would embarrass me and nothing could be gained.

This shit is why I quit watching fox news and msnbc after Obama won. The petty bitching was amusing before he won. I couldn't even stomach the thought of Rachel Maddow acting like she won the lottery or seeing fox news anchors act like their favorite dog died.

This is going to be amusing on YouTube and irritating here. I think one of the more butthurt fruitloops here has me on ignore.

Lame as fuck people.
