Trump demands apology from "Hamilton " staff

[OriZ 3,157]

Gotcha. We are basically on the same page then. I think Pence was quite mature about the whole thing. Artists have a long history of "expressing" their opinion through their medium and using their "fame" and their captivated audience to further their beliefs. You can argue that artists shouldn't do that, but it's there right. The audience has the power to decide whether they still like them or not.

Yeah, exactly why we don't watch the voice anymore in our house. Well, we were already getting bored of it anyway, but what sealed the deal was Alicia Keys constantly bringing politics into it.

I was also sickened by all the artists proudly backing Clinton before the election, knowing that they influence a large audience that would follow them only because they are who they are. That alone made me want to vote for Trump.

I think a person shouldn't really let celebrities influence their political choices, but I also think everyone has an equal right to express their opinion. I'm sure it isn't the only reason you voted for him, but I wouldn't say it would "alone" make you want to vote for Trump since that would make you just as ignorant as the people who just vote for Clinton because of celebrities.

Actors, Musicians, Artists, Doctors, Comedians, Businessmen, Former politicians. Everyone can express their opinion, and use what influence they have (within reason and within the legal limits financially) to support their candidate.

I would challenge anyone here to provide ONE example of Obama "demanding" someone apologize to him.

Just ONE example. Please give me ONE SINGLE TIME he has come out either publicly or on twitter, facebook or whatever medium claiming he deserves an apology. I'm not looking for an example of someone ELSE demanding the apology. I'm talking straight from his mouth (or twitter).

Challenge made.

Presidents, President-elects and even Presidential Candidates should be above acting childish.

Here is one quick one. I can give you many more.

It must be awkward being wrong most of the time.

You can always count on the MDLS to get it wrong then scream racism to try and dig out of the hole

I won't resort to insulting you as you did to me. But please, learn to read.

I asked for an example where it came from Obama's mouth. Trump doesn't have a member of his staff suggesting an apology should be made. He is tweeting it himself. He says it himself. It makes him look unprofessional, unpresidential and petty.

Try again. I'm looking for Obama himself saying it.

EDIT:

Sadly even if we DID count the example you gave...Earnest didn't demand an apology at all. He suggested the person was going to make one. He didn't say "That person MUST apologize to the President!"

So not only do you somehow selectively read what you want, even what you do read you don't comprehend. Mind boggling.

That spin made me dizzy

How is it spin. It is the same request I made from the beginning. I didn't edit my original post. I even addressed this very thing in my first post. Please actually try to read it. I'll quote the relevant bit:

"I'm not looking for an example of someone ELSE demanding the apology. I'm talking straight from his mouth (or twitter)."

So please, try again.

Please elaborate on hobbies allowed by non-snowflakes. I can think of:

Alcohol

Shooting/Hunting

Sports

Strip clubs

Very intellectual bunch.

Right so nothing that requires intelligence. Thanks for clarifying.

I am glad you don't ever resort to insults. Typical MDLS hypocrisy

Please quote me for when I ever said I don't ever resort to insults. I said one time I wouldn't, doesn't mean ever.

Still waiting for an example where Obama acts like Trump. It doesn't exist, but still waiting. You also failed to even explain how what I said was "spin". You basically didn't respond at all. Your post had no substance. Try again.

The thing about the "hobbies" was just to point out that essentially all intellectual activities are for snowflakes now? Not sure when that happened, but if so I will gladly be labelled a snowflake so I can continue to read, enjoy music, go to plays, travel the world and work at a job that requires mental thought. If that makes me a snowflake, so be it.

Except that I wasn't replying to someone who had presented any argument. His point wasn't an argument or a counter argument, he responded with a essentially a joke. So technically insulting him wasn't an ad hominem attack.

So you are admiting you made a personal attack. I hear drones , I will just graphics my VJ rewards card and dip into my really great bunker for a bit

Since I don't have a report button and would not use it if I did , maybe you should tell a mod

No it wasn't personal. I was insulting the "anti-snowflake" crowd with their anti-book reading, anti-theater going, anti-intellectual nonsense. Nothing personal. Half of the content of this entire forum are attacks on different groups of people. Everyone here throws around their version of insults to make themselves feel cooler or better than the other person. It's not personal.
