Pence makes surprise visit to vandalized Jewish cemetery
The Hill ^ | February 22, 2017 | Jordan Fabian

Vice President Pence on Wednesday made a surprise visit to a historic Jewish cemetery near St. Louis to condemn the recent vandalism that took place there.

“From the heart, there is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or anti-Semitism,” he said.

Pence called Missouri’s response to the incident “inspiring" while standing next to Eric Greitens (R), the state’s first Jewish governor.

There's no evidence that this had anything to do with anti-semitism, but that seems to be the topic of the moment. Pence did a good job of putting this talk in it's place.

My guess is that local hoodlums did this as part of their daily attitude of lawlessness, and had nothing to do with the Jewish aspect of the cemetery.

What was most interesting was the Left’s response to Trumps comment. They seem to be a little hypersensitive. Maybe because Trump is touching on some issues that they don't like to talk about or don't like the spotlight shined on?

IMO, he should continue to talk about the crime in Chicago and other inner cities. Even offer to make a trip or two to the cities in question. Maybe a church in said cities?

You certainly assume an awful lot there for having no evidence of your own.

You should have no more right to make the assumption you did than those who made the assumptions they did.

Maybe that was the case.

From a spiritual warfare point of view, Satan hates both Christians and Jews, and might tend to move someone open to him to commit acts of hatred towards either.

Christendom never got hate towards Jews until it came under the umbrella of state churches. That imparted the nature of a club, rather than the nature of a society of believers, upon Christendom. America has the model to make that trend abate, with its intense allergy to state churches. The trend needs to become that of the churches supporting the state to do right, while themselves under the umbrella of the Lord rather than that of the state, which latter condition would cause the system to become self serving.

Somebody makes a “guess” and he gets thundered at by you about “rights” to “make assumptions”?

Methinks some jets need cooling.

The point, which you still don’t get, is that I was charging him with this very thing.

Then you try to flip it onto me, not grasping what it was all about.

He’s been a politician a long time
He knows how to present himself to the press
He’s just a good guy who practice his faith very openly

All of the above

Leftist thugs did this. Think about it. They’ve got to try and divide-and-conquer Jewish support from Trump.

You may be right, you may be wrong. The Revolutionary War burial ground in my neighborhood was recently horribly vandalized. Maybe it was anti-revolutionaries or maybe it was drunken teenagers.

In any case, none of this has anything to do with Trump or Pence and their alleged anti-Semitism.

Cops still unsure it was a hate crime. Like those tombstones kinda fell over by themselves.

You were baselessly doing so.

How about you get off of this “charging” charge?

I couldn’t be right or wrong, since I didn’t make a declaration about what the driving motive was.

Look, I’m not going to sit here and point out your problem over and over.

If you can’t grasp it, you can’t.

I’ll let tha be the problem you have to deal with.

Good, so don’t sit there and “point out [anybody’s] problem” over and over.

BUT, that’s YOUR problem, if you do.

You simply lower yourself to nut-job status when you do this.

The poster complained about lack of proof for an assertion, and then made an assertion without proof.

To this point, you still haven’t evidenced the mental faculties to grasp this.

Each new post you make on this topic moves you farther into whack-job central.

I did say it was a guess. That implies I don’t have any evidence.

Fair enough.

What makes your guess more valid than their’s?
