GOP's anti-Muslim display likening Rep. Omar to a terrorist

Started by Surtur7 pages

Side note: do we know who actually put the poster up? Actual evidence a Republican did it? Cuz yeah, we kinda need evidence of that. People no longer have the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this.

I know someone resigned, but it wasn't for the poster it was over a remark they made.

Kindly link me to the evidence a Republican did this, thanks in advance!

GOP's anti-Muslim display likening Rep. Omar to a terrorist rocks W. Virginia capitol

Angry arguments broke out in the West Virginia statehouse on Friday after the state Republican Party allegedly set up an anti-Muslim display in the rotunda linking the 9/11 terror attacks to a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota.

One staff member was physically injured during the morning's confrontations, and another official resigned after being accused of making anti-Muslim comments.

The display featured a picture of the World Trade Center in New York City as a fireball exploded from the one of the Twin Towers, set above a picture of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is Muslim.

"'Never forget' - you said. . ." read a caption on the first picture. "I am the proof - you have forgotten," read the caption under the picture of Omar, who is wearing a hijab.

Omar tweeted about the incident later on Friday.

"No wonder why I am on the 'Hitlist' of a domestic terrorist and 'Assassinate Ilhan Omar' is written on my local gas stations," she wrote.

The display was set up as part of "WV GOP Day," which the party advertised on Facebook as a day when "Republicans Take the Rotunda." -snip

Stay classy, GOP.

The “hitlist” she’s referring to is the Trumper Coastguard guy who was planning a mass murder of Democrats/Liberals in politics and media.

How did the physical injury happen?

Don't tell me Senators we're brawling. 😱

But yeah, this sounds like they're trying to pick a fight.

If that's the best you can do, yes, you fail. She's talking about the country of Israel and Israeli policies, not going "all Jews bad!". You can disagree with the comment, sure, but spinning it into something else is silly.

That's the critical difference.

The display effective IS going "alll Muslims bad". It would be like if Omar had those old caricatures of hook nosed, shifty eyed money grabbers in her presentation.

This thread shows exactly what I mean why I say that any criticism of Israel being immediately labelled anti-Semitic is one of the most stupid and persistent tropes in western politics.

Does criticising Saudi Arabia for its treatment of journalists and apostates mean you hate Muslims?

Does criticising the Vatican's handling of the child sex abuse scandals mean you hate Catholics?

Does criticising Myanmar over the Rohinga Muslims mean you hate Buddhists?

The answer to all those is clearly no.

Yet any criticism of Israel apparently means you hate Jews.

Maybe that's what she means when she says Israel has hypnotized the world.

Bingo'd it again

Rob just get off KMC stop looking for bingos over words on the internet. Set yourself free. I dare you

I'm still waiting for proof it was actually the GOP that did this. Seems a little too convenient...Omar is constantly tripping over anti-semitic tropes and it's mostly Republicans calling it out. So they then decide to...make her a victim?

And now you're screaming "false flag!". Figures.

But that's easy, apply the same rules you use of "if they don't deny every claim, it's all true", which you've used in regards to any negative claim against anything you view as "Leftist" and/or triggers you.

So there really isn't any evidence, gotcha.

You might wanna ask a mod to change the title of this thread, it says this is the GOP's display.

Words on a screen typed on a keyboard, feel better?

That poster is tasteless regardless of if you think she's said something anti semitic. What is the worst thing she has said, anyone? Everything I've seen was just anti Israel.

Plus with all the fake hate crimes we've seen it would be silly not to ask for proof.

I've been asking this since page one, for a list of these anti-Semitic quotes so we can see and judge.

You were already given one and you spun it.

Anyways, evidence the Republicans did this poster?

Both points already addressed and countered on this page and the previous, bitter guy.

You didn't actually counter anything though kiddo.

Moving on: do you have evidence Republicans did this?

Why does it even matter any of it?

Victimhood status is quite coveted these days. If they're gonna claim this was a hate crime they need to prove it.

No no I mean sitting here talking about this bullshit
