How could anyone support this guy (besides White Supremists/Nazi's)?

Rep. Steve King, aka "Put my foot in my mouth again" Rep. from Iowa admitted Republicans today are the same as Nazi's.

King said in an interview yesterday that the groups he’s associated with that are criticized as having neo-Nazi views were more accurately “far right” groups. He specifically cited Austria’s Freedom Party, which was founded by a former Nazi SS officer and is led by Heinz-Christian Strache, who was active in neo-Nazi circles as a youth. 

“If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King said.

Enough said of the Trump/Nationalist party, formerly known as the GOP. May it rest in peace.

Guess this one Republican member on Congress is the only one left that has any guts to do the right thing:

Good for him. Too bad none of the others followed suit.

To paraphrase Andrew Gillum, Trump may not be a racist, but the racists sure think he's a racist.

The Proud Boys think he's a racist. Unite the Right thinks he's a racist. David Duke and the third Klan and its merry band of Republicans think he's a racist. Far right politicians in Brazil and Europe think he's a racist. White Supremacists voted for him and are some his most ardent supporters. In polls, the majority of Americans think he's racist. For someone who I'm sure you insist is not a racist, he sure works hard at being liked by them.

And that's because I share the same values as one decent Republican you don't agree with? If that's the case, I'm more than glad to fall in that category.

I can see why there's really not civil discussion here. Here's the typical dialog:

Left: The Earth is round.

Right: You are delusional. The Earth is flat.

Left: But, what evidence or argument do you have otherwise?

Right: You are an idiot. Everyone knows the Earth is flat. Besides, I read so on the internet, so it must be true. Go outside and look. It looks flat and you are too stupid to realize it?

Left: Really, give me one thing that proves that it's flat?

Right. I told you to go look. You are a F****ING MORON. THE EARTH IS FLAT. PERIOD.

With conversations like that, it's no wonder hardly anyone bothers to post here. It's not possible to have a civil conversation on the merits. I could easily also say what I think of your intellect in such a crude manner, but it doesn't take anyone to figure out who has the higher intellect when one side can only insult the other with crude and obscene language.

So why does anyone here even bother to post? When the only response you get more or less is that your are delusional, an idiot, a moron (and a f****ing one at that), which seems to be the typical response here particularly when confronted with something like the topic of this post that is hard to defend, it seems a waste of time to try to have any discussion to see if we can learn why each of us may share different opinions.

I mean, if you think Steve King is a great guy, why not say why, rather than call me names you learned in 6th grade?

Hearing one side, however, pretty much closes you mind to anything else that may have merit and any valid point that should be considered. Closing yourself off to one point of view-now that's moronic.

That's probably why, other than the few posts where I've recently stirred up the pot here, the only people talking here are people talking to themselves with the same viewpoint or not talking at all. No one really enjoys having a discussion that invariably ends with someone with an opposing view always returning to his grade school level response, even if that's the highest mental level in which that person may possess.

I didnt mention the article, didnt read it.....anything you may have to say or post has been permanently negated by your choice of the title for this topic....pretty sure I made that clear because I DID mention the title....

I am fairly certain the fact that I was once married to a black woman confirms I am not a white supremacist and I damn sure am not a Nazi as you implied with your offensive and emotional outburst of a topic title.

As my past history of posting here  will confirm I spoke quite often and loudly about my lack of support for Trump confirms I am not a Trump fan..... I generally spoke against him until he started delivering on his promises. I am a fan of what he is accomplishing for the country.....It is hilarious that he has been in the public eye for 30+ years and it was NEVER even implied he was racist until he became President. I dont appreciate quite a bit of what he says, I detest his bragging....but he got my respect with his accomplishments.....

I will say by your choice of topic title you and he share some traits......congratulations, welcome to the asshole of a month club.....So you go right ahead with your ridiculousness, you wont have to worry about me paying any attention to it whatsoever lol

Well, how you can judge whether the Topic title is topical by not reading the content is beyond me. How you come to the conclusion I thought YOU were a racist is beyond me-or, wait-unless you think Rep. King and his statements that were clearly based on race is just fine and dandy (two weeks ago, he endorsed Faith Goldy, who has previously recited the 14-word manifesto used by neo-Nazis, in her race for Toronto mayor. And he retweeted an anti-immigration message from a prominent Nazi sympathizer who has described himself as an admirer of Hitler). What a guy to support.

Had you actually read the article (and done any in depth research about Rep. King) you may have learned that even for most Republicans, he's too much. He is unabashedly a racist and aligns himself with hate groups run by white supremacists.

If the topic subject offended you, then you must align yourself the same, since pretty much the question was, how could anyone but a white supremist or nazi support him? I'd really like to know the answer. Please enlighten me.

As for Trump, the only thing I can see he's accomplished is dividing the country with his rhetoric and emboldened right wing extremists. That about it. He's not a racist, though, that much I agree. He just pretends to be to get the base pumped up, which is pretty much 99.9% white.

I would be interested to know exactly what he's accomplished in your opinion? Opening up more land so it can be fracked to death? Easing pollution requirements for the oil industry? Taking away pre-existing conditions by gutting the ACA? Yeah, I'd guess you'd be ok with all of those.

But then again, you're not paying attention. It seems to me, to much of anything.

And Greg is the same guy who says he can't even offer an opinion of whether or not he agrees with Trump's statement that George W bush's invasion of Iraq was the biggest mistake ever made because he doesn't know enough about it. But here he is shooting his mouth off on content that he's never read. Figures...
