Tucker Carlson's website, NICE SOURCE dude.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;51706437]And what does this mean?[/QUOTE]
Kinda ironic considering that is pretty anti-women's rights/fucked if you got someone leading a Women's protest against Trump, but at the same time support a group like Hamas and try to censor movies that fight for women's rights like the Honor Diaries.

I was waiting for trump's #1 nutwarmer to show up and post some sort of bizarre deflection
Protesting is almost one of the few most patriotic things you can do. You're using your rights that were given to you in the Bill Of Rights to stand against the president and the government. The United States fought for the right to go against the government and the right to say whatever we want about the government without fear of prosecution. Really if you are seeing the protests as people being against democracy/the united states then really you don't know your history and are not much of an american.

Well it's interesting.
So far though on the actual protest it seems to be going alot better then yesterdays. Don't really got a problem with it.

I was expecting her to come on air to defend herself but nope it's just two cranks talking about how awful obama is and how bad he looks for remotely associating with this woman.

Is that it?
I mean yeah it's pretty abhorred that she wants to censor this but how does that have anything to do with this event?

I think he's insinuating that all of these protesters are secretly ISIS.
Damn, he's on to us!
I'm reserving judgement on that story until there's a source other than the Daily Caller.

If I were a Women activist (activist*, I do actually believe in women's rights), I would think that is abit fucked up that my group is being organized by someone who rather censor issues like Middle Eastern women having battery acid thrown at their face from other parts of the world.
You know, like really horrible women issues in the world that still exist today.

Nah, his claim is true. It says that she's a co-chair which means she is one of the many people involved in this event.

It's The Daily Caller, a fake news ragsheet comparable to Breitbart. Congrats on also not responding to his point about Trump's less than reputable connections to criminals, oligarchs, etc.

It's a good thing the movement is entirely grass roots driven and whatever this woman believes is irrelevant to the wider protest.

Ok then contact them or something?
While it is certainly a nice demonstration, I'm afraid of how many of those people are just committing to a temporary kneejerk overreaction.
In those types of demonstrations there's a very blurry line that separates the ones who legitimately want to make a point and the ones who just want to pat themselves on the back.
Reminds me of how people united and did all those peaceful demonstrations after the charlie hebdo attacks with the whole "the republic is beautiful, look at how peaceful we are, [I]violence isn't the answer[/I]" message all over France and in other countries to a lesser extent, and it amounted to jack shit because at the end of the same year we get suicide bombings in Paris. The actual effect of those demonstrations is extremely placebo.

Linda Sarsour has close ties to that organization, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorism case[/QUOTE]
Okay, I was going to pick just one bit of this part that wasn't cited but none of it is.
How is this not grasping at straws?

If I were a Trump supporter, I'd be more worried that my candidate of choice isn't the anti-establishment person he told me he was and be conflicted that he filled the cabinet with wealthiest people in America.

[QUOTE=OvB;51705713]Woman's health concerns, I'd imagine. I'm supportive of the cause, but I admit I'm not really well versed in the whole issue. I've never had to deal with the issue first hand. I have good female friends that depend on birth control for hormonal imbalances. But I know very little about how difficult it is to get such treatments. When someone says they want better access to birth control, I feel like that's kind of a vague explanation of the issue. I'm curious to know more about it.
And if I feel that way, wanting to know more... People like my extremely conservative mother seem to think these people are protesting for free abortions as a means of birth control. I feel like there might be a big misunderstanding of the issue with many conservatives.[/QUOTE]
Women and supporters spend a lot of time making articles and other media explaining these issues, what is needed, what they want. Its purely on the conservatives at this point that they arn't interested in actually searching to find that out and prefer to be mad at the strawman either presented to them or that they perceive must be the only reason people would ask these things. My mum is frequently the same, complaining about things and peoples positions without actually caring to know what they are.

Come on now, I even saw you post the thread talking about Soros funding. That's anything other than being entirely grass roots.
[QUOTE=CertainDOOM;51705599]This gives me hope.[/QUOTE]
About what exactly? People protesting in Washington frankly won't change anything.
[QUOTE=fulgrim;51705629]The fact that Trump got elected after being such a total shitbag shows that we still have a long way to go. However, the fact that he's so damn unpopular shows that we are getting there.[/QUOTE]
No, you actually aren't getting anywhere. If you look at it statistically, you're going backwards. Obama had a 56% approval rating when he came into office, and Hillary has a 40%. You also can't ignore that Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the Presidential Office.

Wow crazy how a liberal moderator banned someone who posted some a conservative opinion that differs from everyone elses' while a leftist posts something even more offensive and is fine.

That wasn't an opinion and I'm technically independent but alright.

Factually incorrect information desperately trying to stir up shit is now apparently 'conservative opinion'
I say 'now' but it's felt like that for a long time. Thank goodness you pointed out how idiotic conservative opinion can be.
