"FIT IN and drop the bed sheets".

"let me catch you up to date, sweetie. fanatics from your religion murdered a bunch of U.S. citizens in a terrorist attack about thirteen years ago and our country is still fighting the war that resulted from it... nothing personal... and just a little heads up, don't wear swastikas to your local jewish community center. they frown on it. "

I could not get them to load.

all 10000 are back on line again. Thanks.

they are 'having trouble' connecting.

must be a shit load of people trying to post.

interesting.

Hate, hate, and more hate.

Disgusting.

What did she expect? She walks into a rally for the most hateful, insane bigoted people in an insane bigoted party that has spent a decade fearmongering. She's just lucky they didn't stand their ground and shoot her on sight.

She had no need to wear the headress, none whatsoever. I dnt care if she's delusional and thinks a mythical sky daddy told her to, it's simply further sign of her deep insanity that she walked into a fox house as a hen, and then complains that they licked their lips instead of eating her. No responsible editor would have let her go like that.

Until such time as Texas is punished, and brought under liberal only control, and conservatives corrected and punished, don't go poking the crazy people with a stick. Hopefully I. The future, a GOP convention be raided and the participants arrested for their crimes, but until that time, don't play victim for a situation of your own making lady. You went there looking for trouble when I go to fundy rallies, I'm ready to do anything up to and including physical altercations. , because I correctly assume that they didn't like me, I know their handbook orders my death a dozen times over, and that people react poorly to having their beliefs challenged. The LAST thing I'd do is complain that their thug patrol was following me around. A responsible group of police officers would have explained to them "Lady, we're protecting YOU from The group of crazy, sociopathic,many armed rednecks concentrated in this room". Sure, they probably don't like her themselves, but that I'd a far more plausible scenario for the cops following a tiny woman around.

And they are not just any old crazy people, they control political offices in Texas. I really do not see your point as being on point, with respect.

...but last I checked, this is America and she's a member of a free press, or what passes for such these days. Her "headress", as you call it, is part of her deeply held religious beliefs. She can wear it whenever and wherever she damn well pleases and there's nothing you or I can do about that, nor should we. If you're using the literal interpretation of "fight", well that will land their and your ass in jail. This is still a nation ruled by law, you know. If you're referring to fighting metaphorically, than she did just that, although I don't believe that was her intent. She went there simply to cover the convention and ended up exposing the fact that the politics of hate and fear still control the Tejas Republican party. No real surprise there.

However, she does us all a service by continuing to shine a light on their bigotry and hatred. When we continue to expose them for what they are, and keep highlighting it, that's when real change can occur. It wont happen overnight, but eventually, such behavior and attitudes become unacceptable. Case in point is the fact that racists now have to use dog whistles and continually swear up and down that they're not racist. I remember well a time when those same people could be openly, publicly racist with no real impact on their lives. We've come a long way since those days, but still have a long way to go, so we keep exposing them for what they are. That's precisely how we fight bigotry in a civilized society.

She should be commended for her courage and for fighting the good fight!

Yes, this was a convention, but it was a meeting of party officials, some of whom are elected officials. They decided to permit the press into their meeting, but this was as if the NAACP let reporters in and a reporter from the KKK went to the NAACP meeting wearing a Hood and white robe. Such a KKK reporter should expect an hostile reaction to his dress, just like this reporter at this GOP meeting should have expected.

Now, if this was some sort of GOVERNMENT meeting, different rules come into play. In such a meeting any Citizen can appear and should be made welcome, This includes this reporter AND my hypothetical KKK reporter. That is a different set of rules. If this meeting was in a public place, a different set of rules kick in, again it is some place where this reporter and my hypothetical KKK reporter have to be permitted to come in and fell welcomed.

The problem is this was a Private Meeting in a hall rented for that private purpose. The meeting was open to reporters and the public, but that does not mean the people in the meeting actually has to make such people fell welcomed. This is NOT a government meeting or a meeting in a town square or other public place, but a hall rented out for a "private" meeting. My point is in such situations you have to understand different rules applies then in government meetings and meetings in public places.

Who behaved horribly.

Now, you have to behave yourself in areas open to the General Public, i.e. public squares, even Hotels/Motels/Inns except as to halls in such places rented out. Such actions can not be done by other "Public Accommodations" including buses, trains, restaurants etc., but in private places they can be as bigoted as they want to be.

Just that they are ignorant racists.

and i know many non muslim women who wear scarves around their head.

Beards are "Unamerican."

I guess it does not refer to freedom of dress / religion

The more light shed on this creeping fascism the better, because the national media have buried their collective heads in the sands of limitless campaign ad money.

for owning a religious book.

I don't understand how supposedly open-minded Democrats can rain down hatred on people who choose to believe.

But not ok with Hillary being influenced by her bible?

I have a big problem with pandering politicians using religion.

duh.

I am ashamed to call myself a native daughter. I reject them and my birth home. I will forever be a nomad.
