the supreme court already spoke on the subject of the flag and freedom of speech....trump shows a fundamental disrespect for freedom of expression.......and freedom to protest esp freedom to protest him.....he is a dangerous demagogue who has done nothing but to make america worse.
i have always considered kneeling in all circumstances including the national anthem to be the most benign and thoughtful and respectful form of protest that there is.
the unites states with a trump at the helm is the cryingstock of democracies.

there will come a day when trump is referred to as " the disgraced former president ".

north korea now says that the united states over the weekend declared war on north korea...since 1962 has there ever been a nuclear power that said that the united states declared war on them...i dont think so...........what a dangerous mess........25th amendment...it is time.

What is really disgraceful is calling the KKK 'nice people', and the NFL, 'Sons of *******'.

We have been in a state of war in Korea since the 1950's. We declared a truce during the Korean war, not an end to hostility's. . Look it up

actually n. korea and s. korea have been in a state of war. and united states technically but it is not the relevant point i was making...... i asked when was the last time that a nuclear power said that the united states had just declared war on them...you did not read closely....north korea used the phrase declare war...resume war...declare war ..semantics.

We're at the point where we can only hope these two idiots aren't as crazy as they sound, that they're just play-acting some WWE garbage for their fans.

Good New Yorker piece from Jelani Cobb:

Stevie Wonder began a performance in Central Park last night by taking a knee, prompting Congressman Joe Walsh to tweet that Wonder was “another ungrateful black multi-millionaire.” Ungrateful is the new uppity. Trump’s supporters, by a twenty-four-point margin, agree with the idea that most Americans have not got as much as they deserve—though they overwhelmingly withhold the right to that sentiment from African-Americans. Thus, the wonder is not the unhinged behavior of this weekend but rather that it took Trump so long to exploit a target as rich in potential racial resentment as wealthy black athletes who have the temerity to believe in the First Amendment.

at least jackie robinson was grateful.

a lot of people are concerned about letting the nazis march....when the kkk and nazis had their march they carried torch lights..a sickening symbol of lynchers and chanted unambiguous racist and antisemitic slogans.....that is not lawful marching ..... they were given a permit for a lawful demonstration so what is in dispute.......

If they march peacefully, disgusting as they are, they have the right to march. If they become violent, then let the authorities deal with them.

We have some real nutjobs out there on both the Alt-left and Alt-right. Sad but true. People should not confront them. Let them make their noise, pay them no attention, then they will likely leave peacefully.

The public and the media should ignore them. Why legitimize them? I think the media frenzy only adds to the stupidity.

Do you remember the Westboro Church, they protested veteran's funerals? A group very outspoken against the LGBT community. They've pretty much dried up and blown away. The same will happen to these other groups in time.

FWIW, the Klan's numbers are much lower than years ago. Their significance is thankfully in decline...

Now even the radical leftists at Fox News are piling on!

"They’re able to say, 'Oh, they’re attacking the national anthem, they’re attacking the troops, they’re attacking the flag' -- none of which they’re doing. They’re not doing any of that. They’re upset about racial injustice in the country and they’re upset about the things that the President has said, and yet he’s able to turn it around for his base. Isn’t this all a play to his base? And could it possibly be so that they don’t notice there is no health care and North Korea’s the biggest mess since the Cold War?"

Kim Jong Un is faking it 100%. He cannot fight a war with the US without China. China will only help if trump starts the war. So he is trying to provoke Donald into attacking him.

re doc -i agree with all of the above...it is probably better not to confront them but if there is another counter protest the counter protesters should not be labeled nuts if they feel that hatred must be confronted.....esp in the south....

During the 2012 election, a number of Black Panthers were trying to intimidate voters at several Pennsylvania polling places. Funny how little mainstream media attention that drew...you can't have it both ways. If you want to see hate groups eliminated, you don't get to pick and choose which ones. You are either for fairness, or you aren't...
