Pretty sad, really.  [/quote]

Why? If Latinos truly feel threatened by a candidate & his policies then I think their voices should be heard.

It's not hard to understand why they'd feel that way:

Nobody is saying their voices cannot be heard.  This ad is unacceptable.  It is inflammatory and blatantly false.  
And, I think it will backfire on the Dems.  [/quote]

It is false that racists and white supremacists support Gillespie?  Really?  [/quote]

Racists and white supremacists support Gillespie. Therefore, everyone who supports Gillespie is a racist or a white supremacist. Right? That's how I learned it in school.

No, but if you don't want to be called a racist and a white supremacist you have to stop taking support from racist and white supremacist.  This "wink, wink, nod, nod" crap is getting a little old.  [/quote]

I'm not a politician, so I don't take support from anyone. As a citizen, however, I'm not going to align myself with Democrats when I don't agree with many of their positions, and I'm sickened by their identity politics. So, I guess I'll just stay a Republican, disavow racism, live my life as a good person, and know that being a Republican, like I have been my entire adult life, does not suddenly make me a racist. And if you feel you need to, then go ahead and continue claiming that it does.[/quote]

You are not alone, my friend.[/quote]
+ 10,000 But I am getting fed up with the venom with which liberals speak of, and to, anyone who didn't vote for Hillary. I've found that when you speak to liberals and they start their rant about how despicable Trump is, they become enraged if you don't join in with their hatred, 100%. [/quote]

That is true on this site, pp.  But, IRL, many liberals are quite friendly and kind.  The mask of anonymity seems to empower people here to lash out with hate and venom. 
I have no doubt that some liberals who post here are hateful in real life.  But, my liberal friends are not so.  [/quote]
Are you a liberal? I wish some of the reasonable liberals would speak out against some of the horrendously bigoted and sexist remarks when a liberal spews them, since it does give liberals a bad name and negates their claims that they are the party who is opposed to bigotry. For example, when a liberal calls someone "Jew boy," as happened this morning, it's pretty bad. I remind myself that such a person is a rare bigot among liberals, but then I would ask liberals to return the favor - and stop painting all, of even half, of all conservatives as racists.
