What an idiot, and who are these idiots cheering that?

The same idiots he encouraged to precipitate a coup on 1/6. Are you starting to see now?

---

That there is a minority of fringe nuts in the Republican Party? Is that some sort of newsflash? Each side has their crazies.

Still doesn't justify a vote that supported Biden.

---

Flynn is not a fringe figure in the Republican Party. He served in Trump's administration and received a pardon from him. I didn't vote for Biden, but I won't support a dictatorship either. I'm sorry if that offends you.

---

Flynn is indeed a fringe figure in the Republican Party. He served as National Security Advisor for a grand total of 3 weeks prior to getting fired and being completely discredited. Only a fool would suggest that Flynn getting paid a pretty penny to speak at a QAnon rally at Eddie Deen Ranch - a tiny Dallas venue - means anything of substance with respect to the Republican Party in general. I'm surprised you were suckered in by this story.

Voting for a presidential candidate is not supporting a dictatorship. And I am not angry that you would cut off your nose to spite your face. You've proven time and time again on this board to hold foolish positions. Quite frankly, I've come to expect it.

---

Denialism knows no party.

---

Nor does being eaten up with the dumb @ss, apparently.

---

You're not usually so sensitive. I think you may be worried about what you've been supporting.

---

And you typically seem brighter than your recent posts suggest.

The only thing I have supported are policies that are better for the American people. You might want to try it sometime.

---

I support those policies, as you well know. The difference is I support them without wanting to turn us into Myanmar. Try that some time.

!. Flynn is a Republican
2. He served as NS advisor to a Republican president
3. He advocated the violent overthrow of the US government

I'm looking for stories about Republicans denouncing Flynn's recommendation
I'm sure there are some stories out there

---

Actually he is a lifelong Dem, and when asked, doesn't claim to belong to a party. Look up some of his quotes on the subject.

As for no. 2, he was fired after 3 weeks on the job.

As for no. 3, that is what has been reported, but he said he never advocated for that position. Let me ask you a question: Do you think it's possible that the media might have twisted Flynn's words to mean something he did not?

As for your last point, tell me, what good does it serve to denounce the painfully obvious? Should Republicans give credence to a fringe, discredited figure based on comments at a tiny rally in Dallas? Flynn has never been elected to any position. He has no power.

It serves no good purpose whatsoever to denounce Flynn other than to give the Dems another talking point.

I know maybe 100 or so people that I have a really good idea of what they believe.

Not a single one would agree with what Flynn said, nor do I. He is a nut obviously, and
congregated with a group of nuts. We saw it all summer in much larger volume with actual
action, burning cities, taking over neighborhoods, actual working anarchism, there are actually nuts on all sides of politics.

Playing dumb again? When you proffer that Republicans must "own" statements of the crazy fringe elements of the party, it suggests that you believe a good percentage of them hold those positions. Otherwise, why suggest that a party "own" the views of its fringe elements?

Thus, I was curious if that's what you truly believed. Apparently, you are afraid to give an honest answer or simply or can't answer the question. Thus, your position that Republicans must "own" Flynn's views remains absurd.

As for your comparison to Dems and the BLM riots, when a large number of Republicans come out in support of Flynn's comments and even fund sedition efforts, then your comparison might be an apt one. Until then, it likewise is absurd.

We are talking about Republicans. It wasn't a difficult question. Why should Republicans own the statements of the fringe?

And are we talking about the same West who denounced Flynn's comments? The same West who did not appear with Flynn at the event in question?

You have very strange logic.

If the GOP caucus on the Hill and Republican leaders of some states werent marching lock step with the Big Lie etc. you might have a point that t this is fringe and not the establishment of whatever this party is that has taken the GOP's name.

---

I'm guessing the Big Lie, was the lie that the election was stolen.

That Big Lie seems to resurrect itself once every 4 years for someone. Democrats were so insistent that Trumps election was a big lie they were still trying to overthrow his election 3 years into his term, with the Russia stuff. Hillary wrote a book still not able to admit she just lost. Gore never got over losing. The Big Lie seems to recycle on a regular basis.

That is pretty common politics. This overthrow through military coup stuff is not. I don't know a single person who believes that. It isn't anything but fringe sentiment, of seriously disturbed people that think they posses more power than they do.

---

Actually there is no whataboutism here at all. There was an insurrection attempt. Now a member (a former NSC advisor no less) of the administration that lost election is talking military coup. Trump is claiming he will be reinstated by August. Nothing in our history has ever been like this. You are right though about one thing these are seriously disturbed and mislead people we are talking about.

As for your last point, tell me, what good does it serve to denounce the painfully obvious? Should Republicans give credence to a fringe, discredited figure based on comments at a tiny rally in Dallas? Flynn has never been elected to any position. He has no power.

It serves no good purpose whatsoever to denounce Flynn other than to give the Dems another talking point.

---

Oh no, not another Dem talking point! Never mind a little sedition then...sorry for interrupting.

---

You still haven't answered my question, chicken little. Do the vast majority of Repubs agree with sedition or not?

---

I don't know. Why does it matter? I doubt the vast majority of Dems agree with burning down cities, but that doesn't mean they won't turn a blind eye. Don't want to give the GOP a talking point, after all.

---

Playing dumb again? When you proffer that Republicans must "own" statements of the crazy fringe elements of the party, it suggests that you believe a good percentage of them hold those positions. Otherwise, why suggest that a party "own" the views of its fringe elements?

Thus, I was curious if that's what you truly believed. Apparently, you are afraid to give an honest answer or simply or can't answer the question. Thus, your position that Republicans must "own" Flynn's views remains absurd.

As for your comparison to Dems and the BLM riots, when a large number of Republicans come out in support of Flynn's comments and even fund sedition efforts, then your comparison might be an apt one. Until then, it likewise is absurd.

---

I assumed you were talking about voters. The party leaders are obviously okay with it, as evidenced by the fact that West shared a stage with Flynn in the first place. No sane party would have anything to do with Flynn after his tweets helped incite the Capitol riot.

---

We are talking about Republicans. It wasn't a difficult question. Why should Republicans own the statements of the fringe?

And are we talking about the same West who denounced Flynn's comments? The same West who did not appear with Flynn at the event in question?

You have very strange logic.

---

West did appear at the event.

What you should own is not the seditionists, but the fact of their influence in the party.

This is from Allen West, State Republican chairman:
West said in a Newsmax interview on Tuesday he rejected Flynn's suggestion.
"I do not support any type of military coup in the United States of America because we have a representative democracy, we have a constitutional republic, and we just need to abide by the Constitution in all that we say and do," West said to Newsmax.

It seems like the nutty fringe 5% are being given credit for being the average Republican.

That in itself is stupid.

So a bunch of fringe looney's got together and called themselves God and Country.

I know maybe 100 or so people that I have a really good idea of what they believe.

Not a single one would agree with what Flynn said, nor do I. He is a nut obviously, and
congregated with a group of nuts. We saw it all summer in much larger volume with actual
action, burning cities, taking over neighborhoods, actual working anarchism, there are actually nuts on all sides of politics.

---

If the GOP caucus on the Hill and Republican leaders of some states werent marching lock step with the Big Lie etc. you might have a point that t this is fringe and not the establishment of whatever this party is that has taken the GOP's name.

---

I'm guessing the Big Lie, was the lie that the election was stolen.

That Big Lie seems to resurrect itself once every 4 years for someone. Democrats were so insistent that Trumps election was a big lie they were still trying to overthrow his election 3 years into his term, with the Russia stuff. Hillary wrote a book still not able to admit she just lost. Gore never got over losing. The Big Lie seems to recycle on a regular basis.

That is pretty common politics. This overthrow through military coup stuff is not. I don't know a single person who believes that. It isn't anything but fringe sentiment, of seriously disturbed people that think they posses more power than they do.

---

Actually there is no whataboutism here at all. There was an insurrection attempt. Now a member (a former NSC advisor no less) of the administration that lost election is talking military coup. Trump is claiming he will be reinstated by August. Nothing in our history has ever been like this. You are right though about one thing these are seriously disturbed and mislead people we are talking about.

---

Yeah, but the vast majority of former US presidents are not Trump. He's a fringe character.

I think you know the IC tried to frame up Flynn and the Trump admin.

They will do it again to ANYONE not in their club. You know this.

It's much more dangerous than fringe presidents.

What an idiot, and who are these idiots cheering that?

The same idiots he encouraged to precipitate a coup on 1/6. Are you starting to see now?

---

That there is a minority of fringe nuts in the Republican Party? Is that some sort of newsflash? Each side has their crazies.

Still doesn't justify a vote that supported Biden.

---

!. Flynn is a Republican
2. He served as NS advisor to a Republican president
3. He advocated the violent overthrow of the US government

I'm looking for stories about Republicans denouncing Flynn's recommendation
I'm sure there are some stories out there

Too stupid to understand the distinction between Flynn and a losing candidate for president?

How the mighty have fallen.
