@InfraBlue,
Nope. They are all logical fallacies.

If any part of Trump's speech is determined by a court to be

2) reasonable expected to cause violence.

Then Trump is guilty of incitement. This is a fact. Do you accept it? It goes both ways. I accept the fact that if neither of these things is true, than Trump is innocent of incitement.

If you don't agree with the facts, then it is silly to go on.

If you accept this, then I will show you what Trump said that might count as incitement.

I would like you to say either "Yes, I agree with these facts" or "No, I don't agree with these facts".


No, I don't agree at all. For speech, specifically protected in the Constitution as a right, to be criminal, there has to be a direct solicitation to imminent violence. If the standard were that you couldn't tell people that their cause is just, they are true patriots, "don't let them get away with it," etc., then half of Washington would be in jail.

I still challenge you to tell me which statements Trump made may be criminal according to your standard. The left specializes in character assassintion by vague suggestions that they cannot and will not state specifically.

@Brandon9000,
Thank you for answering my question directly.

1. We disagree on the basic definition of incitement.

2. You will note that I am arguing against both the extremes. I have said repeatedly that the case for incitement is (in my opinion) not very strong. That isn't to say there is no argument. But it is not a clear case either.

3. I think the argument that it was incitement will be based on certain phrases. The question was whether they were intended or should have been expected to provoke violence. The fact is that they did provide imminent violence (which isn't proof but is relevant).

@oralloy,
Your assumptions about my knowledge of ignorance are asinine.

@InfraBlue,
No assumption. You don't even understand what a straw man argument is.

Wrong. You are completely ignorant of what a straw man argument is.
