Nothing says liberal idiocy...

Like this:

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.

Anyone taking "offense" at someone saying "all lives matter" - well, it just doesn't get any more ludicrous than that. I thought progressives were fighting for equality?

"Judith Butler, a philosopher at the University of California, Berkeley, recently explained why some find it offensive to respond to the 'Black Lives Matter' movement with the 'all lives matter.'

"'When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue. It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter, which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve,' Butler said in an interview with The New York Times. 'If we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, 'all lives matter,' then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of 'all lives.'"

Do you think all black lives matter to the same degree as all white lives matter?

Under the Constitution? Yes - absolutely! This is typical Marxist authoritarianism.

The People's Republic of Berkley thinks it is "offensive" to maintain the position that ALL lives matter? That is complete BS!

White lives don't matter to many blacks. What's the matter with equality? Why isn't equality good enough for progressives? The notion that NOT all lives matter is extremely offensive to me. When you give anyone "special rights" you can never take them back.

It is simply un-American to suggest that not "all lives" matter.

I think the Berkeley position is that while it's true all lives matter, it is also true not all lives are understood to matter equally. Black people would argue their lives have not yet been included in the idea of "all lives matter." Given the past two hundred years of US History, it's not hard to understand why some blacks would come to that conclusion.

Yeah I know, I was pulling your chain. But seriously, when you have to "apologize" to the PC crowd for saying "all lives matter" they are completely out of control. How is it inclusive to suggest "black lives matter" (differently in some way from white lives)? It's part of the extra-Constitutional rights movement of the progressives. I don't agree with it. We all have the same rights. If some class is being denied those equal rights, just enforce the equal rights - don't give them "special" rights the rest of us don't have. That is precisely why our country is so screwed up. Every time someone doesn't follow the rules or obey the laws or respect equal rights, the progressives want to address it with another 2300 page piece of unintelligible legislation. It's just full employment efforts for the lawyer crowd.

just what we need another pandering pushover politician running for president....people are sick of that.....it's exactly what's propelling Trump.

apologizing for saying "all lives matter" is matter of cowardice simply because all lives do matter.

O'Malley committed suicide totally by apologizing, apologies make people lose respect even if the apology is an appropriate one the audience walks away saying what a nice guy and what an idiot.

Lawyers need work too, I guess. I agree about universal rights. I'm not sure if progressives want to add more laws or simply enforce the ones already on the books in a more equal fashion. Personally, I tend to see things more in terms of economic class and not race, not that the two don't tend to overlap. Maybe things will get better when Bernie moves into the White House:eek:

They sure seem to spend a lot of time and effort on implementing myriad "special" rights to the progressive wish list of entitlements and special social considerations. The model they use looks a lot like "pass new law, wait for unintended consequences, then pass new law to address those, and then wait for that law to (inevitably) produce more unintended consequences, then pass a new law to address those, and on and on and on." And, before you know it, you can't sneeze without violating a dozen rules and regulations.

This is a no brainer. ALL LIVES DO MATTER. It should make no difference what race or creed or gender one is. Either we are all human beings or we are not. Period!
 
i saw the CNN coverage of black hecklers at the "netroots"gathering. they went after both omalley and sanders

hillary was wise to stay away.

anyone watching this news clip would conclude that the democratic party is attracting the most violent "single issue" partisans imaginable, and it will be impossible to have a resonable discourse with them about taxes, school dropout rates, the deficit . ..

simply nothing else registered beyond venting their rage at events like michael brown, who they still believe was attempting to surrender, despite all evidence to the contrary.

anyone watching the netroots heckling might be driven to vote republican, if they weren't leaning that way already.
