If you put these people in a room, they would very likely find common ground
That is what made America great, not politicians, the media or people ranting on the internet.

i don’t disagree with any of that. but you left out the biggest thing, which was the glee with which the media threw these kids to the wolves. what if that was your
son? he’s someone’s son.

and who "diffuses" a situation by getting up in someone's face like that?

Out of all parties involved it looks to me that the kids showed the most restraint. Funny how Wayne bought the central media excuse of racism,but unfortunately typical in today’s climate of fake news.

the White House has reached out to host the students. Sandmann said, "The President wants to send a plane down to get us."

Trump is using the incident because of sagging approval ratings: “By focusing on an issue that motivates his base instead of on the shutdown, for which he’s broadly taking the blame, there is little political downside for the president.”

Didn't write it but I am sure it's fake news because it's spot on

Ps where did I mention racism ?

Keep the blinders on and stay in lock step with your party. They need guys like you to maintain their image.

soence, please show
me a video clip where the smiling kid “took a position” in front of this guy. because what i saw was this kid stationary, not
moving, and the elder got right in his face.

you’re not rational, you can’t be reasoned with.

but usually in stuff that’s a judgment call. here, we have videotape of what actually happened. he can’t accept that, because it doesn’t serve his agenda.
