Who can't take a joke? You obviously don't get the fact that I was busting your balls with the whole racist thing. I've spoken to you on many occasions to know better. The real issue is that I answered your question but you simply didn't like the answer. The hat is and will be a symbol of hate whether I post some specific video you are asking for or not. I didn't personally make that decision society did. Don't shoot the messenger. Now let's discuss the pacifier....

So there are many that also view an Obama shirt as a symbol of hate and divisiveness. I didn't personally make that decision society did. Don't shoot the messenger.

My point is just because you and your side view a red hat as a symbol of racism doesnt make it so. No matter how hard you wish it to be true doesn't mean it's true. Like I said earlier, Obama was the worst thing to happen to this country in a long time. He's a much bigger racist than Trump ever was. I'm sure you disagree and that's fine, but I don't have a desire to run someone off the road when I see a Obama bumper sticker. I don't feel the need to verbally assault someone over an Obama shirt at the restaurant or on the street corner. I don't feel the need to stage a fake hate crime and report it to police. It's about human decency and respect.

The police would have arrested someone if the roles had been reversed. Those police and their leaders support these terrorists. There are plenty of videos available where Antifa is assaulting people/damaging property and the police just stand down unless people fight back. The Left Coast is a disgrace to humanity.

My bad on the racist thing then, but we'll agree to disagree on the hat. I don't have one, but just don't see it that way. I'm sure to some it may be, but not to all. Pacifier was a gag for my girls, and I did a picture.

I don't think Coug was joking. I think he's trying to save face at this point.

Of course it's not okay. Plus, a critical mass of society does not see that as a symbol of hate, bigotry, and racism. You might, but not society.
Now granted, I wouldn't wear it to a monster truck rally or a gun show in Podunk.

😲...... you may want to check where you fall on your continuum again.

I never claimed to determine what's offensive and what's not. Every individual makes that call. What you guys have a hard time wrapping your minds around is that a majority of people feel differently than you.

Just because the majority of people feel a hat or shirt is offensive, racist or bigoted doesn’t give them the right to assault them or physically confiscate and destroy said hat

If he were a Luther clone, then he never would have done that. I think people should be allowed to speak; it's the easiest way to determine who is stupid. That and maybe the hat they are wearing.....just joking....kind of.

Of course it doesn't. I think it's moronic to attack someone because of the hat they are wearing.

I have some pro-Trump garb and purposely left it at home last fall when I went on a camping trip out west. I can do just fine defending myself, but I decided why start an argument with someone when I don't want to.

No, you really are defending it with the reference to feeling the hat, an inanimate object, as absurd and disgusting, and worse put them in the same light as the person who physically attacks a person wearing the hat.

So since the only folks attacking the hat are THE ENTIRE LEFT........

I'm not excusing or defending it.
I think it's absurd and disgusting to attack someone for wearing the hat.
I think it's absurd and disgusting to wear the hat.
I think both groups, the attackers and the wearers, are equally absurd and disgusting.

No. I do have a 25 year old Greenpeace tee shirt that I may stumble across once a summer. My daughters got RBG tee shirts for Christmas. I'm sure that some are offended by those,
I do have several Jimmy Carter items but they're more of a collectible.
