Goose, are you telling me that there was no outcry in the MSM over those types of protests? While those types of protests are uncalled for they don't look like they're rioting to me. The name calling I spoke of is done by everyone on the left all the way up to Clinton. The MSM participates as well. Other than some fringe elements on the right, you don't hear it anywhere close to it. And while you have given a couple examples of idiots using racist insults, it is no where near as prevalent as the name calling of the left.

As far as the KKK, Conspiracy Theorygets it.

No, I'm saying that your statement in post #1 that The Right is too mature to engage in name calling is obviously untrue. These sweeping generalizations are patently absurd.

Funny how your Couple examples apparently defines the Left, but my couple examples are seen as some sort of exception to The Right.
Do you really believe that? Seriously?

I believe the term is "turning a blind eye".

'Make America White Again': Hate speech and crimes post-election

(CNN)Fears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump's presidential win. And the list of incidents keeps growing.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has counted more than 400 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the US since Election Day.

"They've been everywhere -- in schools, in places of business like Walmart, on the street," SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia and Islamophobia, some people have used his words as justification to carry out hateful crimes. Recent days have witnessed ugly episodes of racist or anti-Semitic pro-Trump graffiti along with threats or attacks against Muslims.

The President-elect said he was "so saddened" to hear about vitriol hurled by some of his supporters against minorities.
"If it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it," Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes."

In a video statement released Friday, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said FBI statistics for 2015 showed a 67% increase in hate crimes against Muslim Americans. Hate crimes against Jewish people, African Americans, and LGBT individuals also increased.
Overall, reported hate crimes spiked 6%, but the number could be higher because many incidents go unreported, Lynch said.

"These numbers should be deeply sobering for all Americans," she said. "We need you to continue to report these incidents to local law enforcement, as well as the Justice Department, so that our career investigators and prosecutors can take action to defend your rights."

And it's not just Trump supporters inciting attacks. A man in Chicago was beaten as a bystander yelled, "You voted Trump!" And two men in Connecticut were arrested for allegedly assaulting a Trump supporter.
Here's what some Americans are dealing with across the country.
