      1. An emerging argument you are hearing on the right -- not from large numbers of people but some significant voices -- is that the Christchurch killer had "legitimate" concerns: He went too far but his goals should be pursued with extrajudicial violence.https://twitter.com/UrbanAchievr/status/1106658850944344065 …

      This is an official press release from Fraser Anning, an Australian Senator about the #NZMosqueShooting. It is absolutely one of the most anti-Muslim and bigoted things I’ve read from a politician, and to come after a terrorist attack — unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/H1xgV22A4m

          Do you accept the "legitimate concerns" the so called ‘T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-T-S’ have? Your response to this (if any) will decide where this goes.

          Yes. Dreher has been pounding the drum that assimilation is impossible, but I was shocked that he pulled it a day after a massacre. He’s been blinder to the responsibility of having a big platform lately.

          Yet another example came from Trump, when he lukewarm condemned the NZ violence while couldn't quite bring himself to call it 'white nationalism' or even 'terrorism,' but unhesitatingly used the exact same language to describe the southern border asylum seekers as an "invasion."
