Dallas Morning News Editorial Board? Sounds like they're operating out of Berkeley, CA. And the Cowardboys mock and deface American ceremony and tradition, during the nation anthem no less.

Don't mess with Texas?

Just more of the left hypocrisy. They can say and do and behave anyway they like don’t you know that? They can be divisive and stoke the fires of division all day long. But if someone says something about it, then they’re the ones that are a problem. This is a group of people who condone violence against peaceful freedom of speech if they don’t agree with what is said. They’re sick in the head. As if we’re just supposed to put up with a bunch of people supporting an organization that flames anti-cop behavior and gets officers killed? And the reason they support this group is on the LIE that cops shoot and kill black men for no other reason than they’re racist. We’re just supposed to allow their BS to continue unquestioned right?

“Railing against free speech ....”

Hey, all employees of the Dallas Morning News - your editorial board says all speech anywhere, anytime should be free. So feel free to spout off at your office, to the paper’s subscribers, to the paper’s ad buyers, to anyone. It’s free speech, and your job and career are totally protected no matter what you say. The editorial board has said as much!

Like an excellent marketer, President Trump KNOWS his customers (aka constituents)!

Trump is so brilliant. While the left / media was having a collective hissy fit about Trump daring to stand up for patriotism, he managed to put in a new travel ban via executive order with barely any attention.

The media and the Left could do a lot end division and strife by just being reasonable, even handed, and fair to all. Like Trump and those following him are doing our best to be.

But instead the media and the Left are butt hurt that we are not bending over and kissing their feet anymore.

Case and point: A left wing nut attacks innocent people because they went to a Trump rally. Trump tells the crowd to let security handle it, and not pay back violence for violence. However, Trump also sympathesis with the crowd about how good it would feel if to allow ourselves to fight back in turn against the aggressors. But he then emphasizes that we should not do so.

...and this gets reported as Trump promoting violence. The Left wing agitators, who it is found out are often being paid clandestinely by the Hilary campaign to cause trouble....are the "victims" or even "patriots".

And now....the Leftwing media expects us to get mad at a common sense evaluation of the NFL protests as being divisive and encouraging the worst elements in people?

Hypocrisy and Arrogance may not be strong enough words to express what these people are.

starting a year ago with former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick

The Dallas Morning News was a leftist rag back in the 1970s and hasn't improved in recent years.

Nope, sorry, more fake news. CK was photographed sitting/kneeling/sleeping during the anthem at least two years before that. It was pure laziness on his part. It wasn't until his muzzy gf thought up a reply when too many were questioning him that he finally came out with this silly protest excuse.

I was so DEPLORABLE as a child, they had to tie a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me!

Take my DEPLORABLE wife. PLEASE!

I come from a DEPLORABLE family. During the Civil War my great uncle fought for the West.

My psychiatrist told me I was DEPLORABLE and I said I want a second opinion. He said, ‘okay, you’re ugly too.’

pretty typical, they are losing the argument big time, and like Hillary they refuse to accept the truth.

“I like being coddled. Makes me feel all safe and cozy, just like a hug from mom. :)”

How could any self righteous social justice warrior find fault with that?

Quote: “Railing against free speech and calling for the termination of NFL players.”

Right, but it is OK for the NFL players to say whatever they want, act like a dog peeing on a tree, etc. And why is it ok? Oh, I know, because they are part of, or a tool of, the elite and have been delegated the PRIVILEGE of free speech. Under the elitist regime freedom of speech is not a right but a privilege only extending to the elite.

They say what they want, it is protected. If you reply in disagreement, you are a racist and fascist. You must be silenced.

You agree with them or agree with them. Inside of every leftist/elitist is a totalitarian screaming to get out. Except now the don’t have to scream anymore, they are out.

I liked being coddled by my mother, God rest her soul. Donald just speaks to me. I am the person they claim to fear. They’d be better off ignoring me. I’m just minding my own limited business.

The media was perfectly happy with player protests being in the news as long as narrative was one sided - how brave, noble, and just it was.

But when someone picked up the torch to challenge that narrative and speak for so many who disagreed with it, they condemn it as divisive.

Their idea of unity is for us to follow them meekly. Screw that.
