O'Malley apologizes for saying 'all lives matter' at liberal conference
CNN ^ | July 19, 2015 | Chris Moody

Posted on 07/19/2015 7:06:57 AM PDT by GoneSalt

Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.

Several dozen demonstrators interrupted the former Maryland governor while he was speaking at the Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of liberal activists, demanding that he address criminal justice and police brutality. When they shouted, "Black lives matter!" a rallying cry of protests that broke out after several black Americans were killed at the hands of police in recent months, O'Malley responded: "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter."

The demonstrators, who were mostly black, responded by booing him and shouting him down.

Maybe a candidate unapologetic about his views could be a good thing.

Well, let’s see which Republican is the first to say ‘All lives matter’.

And not only stick with it, but use it to increase his poll numbers.

The truth does eventually out. It is understandable that it is completely lost on a bunch of worthless racists.

He shouldn't have apologized. This would have been a golden opportunity for a Sista Soulja moment and for him to stand by his comments. He would have won over some independents and blue-collar types.

Just goes to show you how completely far-left the Democrat party has become.

O’Malley needs to be pounded for backing down. What is an acceptable death rate for white lives? Is it justified payback when blacks kill whites? How many whites are killed by blacks vs. how many blacks are killed by whites? How many blacks are killed by other backs?

I don’t usually believe it when a politician apologizes for remarks, but in this case I do.

Sure they do; they build, pay for, and fix everything. That is why the welfare hatcheries are desperately trying to woo them back - they just won’t have a voice in anything.

The morning after the 2015 Baltimore Welfare Hatchery Riot, one of my young sons asked why the people had destroyed their neighborhood the night before; I responded that they did it because they knew white people would clean it up. On the TV screen (as if on cue), a white tow truck driver started hitching up to one of the burnt-out cars in the street; the message hit home.

The democrats created this monster now let them be eaten by it.

This is why republicans should not bother seeking to appease the left.

What happened to Gabby Gifford's civility in public discourse?

Oh, yeah... it doesn't serve liberal purposes anymore.

The nasty truth that nobody wants to face is that many if not most of the black community have no interest in “equality”, what they want is revenge, they will not back down or consider the debt of slavery repaid until the tables our turned and they are the masters and whites are stripped of their property and valuables and turned into slaves. Or for an example of what they want look at what happened in Zimbabewa..

Blacks, illegals, muslims and all others should be thankful for the great country whites built for them to live in.

Trump wouldn’t have backed down form saying that.

You’re right on, but I think I would like to put it in these terms ... The unAmerican SOBs and all others should be thankful for the great country real Americans built for them to live in.
