Hinchcliffe is a comedian. He's not the problem.

He's just a symptom.
Just as a boil is a symptom of a staph infection.

BTW, Peter Boyle was a fine actor.

I didn't see but a couple of minutes of the rally and I actually did not see the comedian. but I'm sure it probably was in poor taste .
The majority of so called"comedy" these days both from left and right is geared towards politics and I get bored with it real quick anymore.
Check out some of the late nite TV clips from the rally, the questionable comedy? was hardly limited to the opening.

Dry comedy is a hit or miss endeavor. It's definitely forgettable likely directly to the fact that nowadays, comedians all come across as the same as they like to push the envelope with poor results with their humorless banter.
I've seen a lot of comedy in my day (my husband is a stand-up comedian). I've been to tons and tons of shows.

What I've observed is that "conservative" comedy tends to punch down, while liberal comedy (the vast, vast majority of comedy) tends to punch up and doesn't centre around insults and meanness and demonization of certain groups in our society.
It's not like the old days with a roast meaning something and actually funny to boot with the hilarious insults.
A roast involves a party that has agreed to be roasted ahead of time. Otherwise, it's just being mean for the sake of being mean.

Right you are yet Kamala is just a newbie when it comes to her proposed gun confiscation program for registered gun owners.
Disarming those you seek to have dictatorial control over is tried and true tactic of those sharing the Anti-Semitic mindset
The financial aspect a new twist Kamala's likeminded Anti-Semitic forerunners of her and the democrat Anti-Semites currently taking over college campuses and streets and calling for "River to the Sea" solution for the Jews never thought of .

Kamala for Gun Confiscation: In Her Own Words
Monday, September 16, 2024

Harris supports gun confiscation. Harris has repeatedly expressed support for a mandatory gun “buyback” program where Americans would be forced to turn over their firearms to the government for a set price – in other words: gun confiscation.
Here is Harris supporting gun confiscation, in her own words:
  • At a September 2019 campaign event, Harris told reporters that confiscating commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms was “a good idea.” Elaborating on her support for a compulsory “buyback” program, Harris added, “We have to work out the details -- there are a lot of details -- but I do…We have to take those guns off the streets.”
(Sahil Kapur, Kamala Harris Supports Mandatory Buyback of Assault Weapons, Bloomberg, September 6, 2019)
  • On the September 16, 2019 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Harris reiterated her support for gun confiscation. During a question-and-answer session, an audience member asked Harris “Do you believe in the mandatory buyback of quote-unquote assault weapons and whether or not you do, how does that idea not go against fundamentally the Second Amendment?”
The candidate responded, “I do believe that we need to do buybacks.” Making clear that she believes Americans’ Second Amendment rights are for sale, Harris added “A buyback program is a good idea. Now we need to do it the right way. And part of that has to be, you know, buy back and give people their value, the financial value.”

Nazi Repression of Firearms Owners
August 1, 1999
By Stephen P. Halbrook

New research on the Nazi confiscation of registered guns—and execution of gun owners—provides a poignant lesson on why Americans have always opposed the registration of peaceable firearms owners.


The Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht)—the infamous Nazi rampage against Germany’s Jews—took place in November 1938. It was preceded by the confiscation of firearms from the Jewish victims. On Nov. 8, The New York Times reported from Berlin, “Berlin Police Head Announces ‘Disarming’ of Jews,” explaining:
“The Berlin Police President, Count Wolf Heinrich von Helldorf, announced that as a result of a police activity in the last few weeks the entire Jewish population of Berlin had been ‘disarmed’ with the confiscation of 2,569 hand weapons, 1,702 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Any Jews still found in possession of weapons without valid licenses are threatened with the severest punishment.”[2]
On the evening of Nov. 9, Adolf Hitler, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazi chiefs planned the attack. Orders went out to Nazi security forces: “All Jewish stores are to be destroyed immediately. Jewish synagogues are to be set on fire . The Führer wishes that the police does not intervene. All Jews are to be disarmed. In the event of resistance they are to be shot immediately.”[3]
All hell broke loose on Nov. 10: “Nazis Smash, Loot and Burn Jewish Shops and Temples,” a headline read. “One of the first legal measures issued was an order by Heinrich Himmler, commander of all German police, forbidding Jews to possess any weapons whatever and imposing a penalty of twenty years confinement in a concentration camp upon every Jew found in possession of a weapon hereafter.”[4] Thousands of Jews were taken away.
Wow, the Hitler comparison is quite the stretch of the imagination.
Australia did a gun buyback program a couple of years back as well. Do you consider that country to be fascistic?


Here's something more recent:

"In 2019, Harris said she owns a gun “for personal safety” because she was a “career prosecutor.” But Harris has also been a proponent of stricter gun laws.

In 2023, President Biden established the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which Harris oversees. She also supported the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which Biden signed into law in 2022.

The act expands background checks, creates new criminal penalties for gun trafficking and for purchasing a gun on behalf of someone banned from doing so. It also invested $1.4 billion in violence-prevention and intervention programs.

"This business about taking everyone's guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners," Harris said on Tuesday night. "We're not taking any of these guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff. ...

... There is evidence that gun restriction laws, particularly red-flag laws, work. According to researchers at the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, for every 10 to 20 red flag orders issued, the number of suicides falls by one.

The data for mass shootings is less clear, because they are much more rare and therefore harder to study, but around a third of shooters who kill four or more people show warning signs ahead of time.

On the flip side, laws that allow more people to have guns, like right-to-carry and concealed-carry laws, appear to result in more violent crimes involving firearms, more assaults with firearms, more workplace homicides and more police shootings."





And ..

"The Biden administration has taken action on gun control and Harris has a record of supporting it, but the claim that she wants to take guns away lacks context.

The most recent and significant gun control legislation the administration helped enact the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

It created new penalties for "straw purchasing," strengthened laws intended to keep firearms from domestic abusers and gun traffickers, and created new funding for states to administer "red flag" laws, allowing courts to order guns to be kept away from people deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.

However, it dropped any push to ban military-style rifles to shore up support among Republicans.

Harris has shown support for gun buyback laws and supported red flag laws, announcing as vice president earlier this year new resources to help states implement red flag policy, worth millions in funding.

At a campaign rally in Wisconsin in July, Harris reiterated her support for gun control and safety legislation, saying: "We, who believe that every person should have the freedom to live safe from the terror of gun violence, will finally pass red flag laws, universal background checks, and an assault weapons ban."

In 2023, she was appointed by President Biden to oversee the newly created White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, created to see through the president's executive actions on the issue. Earlier this year she announced a new gun sale rule in a bid to crack down on the so-called "gun show loophole."


Harris said: "I am proud to announce that all gun dealers now must conduct background checks no matter where or how they sell their merchandise."

However, Harris has also said that she supports the 2nd Amendment and that she rejects the idea that the rights of the Amendment are not incompatible with gun safety.

Running mate Tim Walz is a hunter too and has spoken openly of his support for 2nd Amendment rights while supporting Harris' agenda on firearms.

There is no suggestion that Harris wants to make weapon ownership illegal and Vance's comments lack the context to understand her thoughts and plans."

Well there is generally more support for gun control in the democratic party than the republican party, so if you are opposed to femicide there's that to take into consideration as well as that Trump is deeply misogynist and misogyny likely feeds femicide in my view.

Not "the Jews." Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be going too far though.

As to the first part of your hysteria, Harris's gun control laws are for the whole population, not the Jews specifically in my view.

As for the second part you did not quote Harris accusing the Jews of genocide nor does your link go to the text you provided in my view

I guess like many Trump supporters you are just not much of a fact checker.

Meanwhile if you are worried about authoritarian leaders with an admiration for Hitler, this is from one of Trump's former top aides;

In my view its not even worth discussing this till you can find a source, except to note you can't tell the difference between the entire race of Jews and Israel.

Would you say that South Africa committed apartheid? And by this would you mean all South Africans committed apartheid or that the government committed it against others? I'm not sure you get how language works in my opinion.

Tis hard for me to fathom.
It really is difficult to grasp how the dark motivations behind this sort of behavior manage to so fully overpower some people's common sense.

I agree it's hard to fathom. It's something that has been puzzling me for a long time. I sense there is a lot of anger behind it, driving it, but anger at what, exactly? And whatever it is, haven't we ALL experienced those knocks in life? Seems to me this would be bringing us all a little closer together, not turning us against each other.

I really just don't get it.

I've seen it happen here, but not nearly as bad as in Indiana, but I have definitely noticed a tendency where someone, usually white but not always, sees someone else who is brown, especially if this person speaks Spanish, and automatically assume they are Mexican.
I've heard it's basically the same with Asians, except I've not known enough or been in situations to really hear those discussions.
This is weird side note, but when I lived in Chicago I had occasion to be in and around many of the predominately Hispanic neighborhoods and I eventually did learn how to more or less accurately differentiate between Puerto Rican and Mexican Americans. They do have different set of physical features that are common within each group (not always, though). And they also do have very different personality traits common within each group. Of the two, I did not much like the Puerto Ricans because they were incredibly arrogant and rude, and would get aggressive (the males in particular) at the drop of a hat. Whereas I really liked the Mexicans I met because they were easy going, fun-loving, hard-working, and just generally friendly people. (The same goes for the many Polish Americans I met.) Also, Pierto Ricans tended to have narrower facial features and more almond-shaped eyes. Whereas the Mexicans tended to have rounder facial shapes and rounder eyes.

It was just something I noticed and learned to pay attention to while living there for a long time. Chicago was a city of ethnic neighborhoods in those days and moving around the city was like moving around the world. You had to learn what to watch out for and what to appreciate in each group. Blacks, Whites, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Poles, Thai, Indian, Chinese, Russians, ... and many others. They all had their quirks and peccadilloes. Viva La Difference!

It's Trump's campaign.
This was a highly organized event.
He is responsible...no matter how irresponsible he is.
Even if one exculpates Trump, it still points to the
mindset he instills in his minions, ie, his hatred
inspires more hatred. It's a contagion.
Oh ok, I think I understand what you're saying - something that took place in a CNN studio was a highly organized event, where Trump's campaign happened. Madison Square Garden is in the same CNN studio - behind the background wall, I guess. It's guilt by association, but the association is only with the guy who said that to Hasan and somehow not with Hasan himself or the rest of the CNN News Night panel at this highly organized event. :rolleyes:

It is very negative and its not the only thing they said,there a lot more then that.
Why is it very negative?

One would have to hold both the position that it's expected and normal for Puerto Rico is a trashy place or that Puerto Ricans are trashy people (or something like that), and to hold the position that it's negative to point out such positions.

That would be consistent with the thinking of white supremacists from the continental US - that non-whites (or in this case hispanics too, since some hispanics are of ethnic European descent - or, perhaps there's a stereotype about all Puerto Ricans being non-whites - or, perhaps it's a protestant thing along with a stereotype that all Puerto Ricans or hispanics are catholics & catholics are inferior or whatever) are inferior in some way and that this isn't supposed to be pointed out.

In such a case, why is this fiction not supposed to be pointed out, because it makes it vulnerable to being exposed as the fiction that it actually is?

Hinchcliffe is a comedian. He's not the problem.


The problem is why the Trump campaign thought it would be a good idea to put him in the lineup knowing his comedy style. That his comedy fits in closely with the other speakers' actual political beliefs should be a good indication that Trump's campaign is fundamentally racist (racism referring to antagonistic beliefs about people based on differences in appearance or culture).
