We have free speech in this country even racist can say as much racist things as they want it is protected by the first amendment. Racism is ugly and stupid and makes no sense (unless you’re an atheist in which case it makes perfect sense because if you’re an atheist what’s the point of treating everyone the same?) however in the United States you still have the right to be a racist piece of shit and not get punished for it as far as government coming after you type deal you might get punched but that’s a different story

Funny how you didn't call for this after the attack in Waukesha. But if you want to go after "politcians who advertise racism", you're going to decimate the ranks of many racist and race-baiting Democratic politicians.
"Should politicians who advertise racism be held accountable after the NY shooting?"
No, a shooting shouldn't mean we only now hold them accountable. A racist should've never been a politician in the first place, and a shooting doesn't have to take place for them to be held accountable. Anyone who would harm somebody because of race, gender or age should never be in office.
They are responsible the question is to what extent. If I ran a hate campaign against you personally and people attacked you, then you'd want me held responsible, this is no different and I shouldn't be allowed to hide behind the tired free speech excuse.

Uh no, you can't just use transitive guilt to punish people unrelated to the specific incident.
Racism should be denounced obviously, but what you're suggesting is essentially mob rule.Absolutely not.
Each individual is 100% responsible for their own actions. The people who committed the killing are solely responsible.Yes, so when are you going to hold biden accountable? Or yourself?
Yes, I think all liberal politicians should be held accountable for using racism as a tool to garner votes and divide Americans.
UK here. This is exactly why we have laws against hate speech, in case you were wondering.
They def. should be. If they don't at least condemn it, they're racist
My personal opinion is that that they definitely should be.
False Flag just like Sandy Hook.
The First Amendment has not been repealed yet.
How does one “advertise” racism?
At the very least they shouldn't be voted in.
Not unless they actually shot somebody
