Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.
Phoenix (CNN)
Several dozen demonstrators interrupted the former Maryland governor while he was speaking here at the Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of liberal activists, demanding that he address criminal justice and police brutality. When they shouted, "Black lives matter!" a rallying cry of protests that broke out after several black Americans were killed at the hands of police in recent months, O'Malley responded: "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter."
The demonstrators, who were mostly black, responded by booing him and shouting him down.

Later that day, O'Malley apologized for using the phrase in that context if it was perceived that he was minimizing the importance of blacks killed by police.

"I meant no disrespect," O'Malley said in an interview on This Week in Blackness, a digital show. "That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect. I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue."
Judith Butler, a philosopher at the University of California, Berkeley, recently explained why some find it offensive to respond to the "Black Lives Matter" movement with the "all lives matter."
"When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue. It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter, which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve," Butler said in an interview with The New York Times. "If we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, 'all lives matter,' then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of 'all lives.'"

This is a perfect example how the liberals use Political Correct bullshit to shout down a speaker In this case Martin O'Malley offended blacks by saying all lives matter rather than just black lives matter. So of course he back peddles and apologizes profusely, so much so nausea set in. Gutless Totally absurd PC means to avoid saying certain things only because it may offend someone and if you do you best start kissing ass. ALL LIVES MATTER Liberals fancy themselves as warm compassionate individuals. In reality they are rude spoiled cry babies and so thin-skinned

Judith Butler talks PC double speak. It's all a bunch of nonsense.
This whiney no back bone piece of shit O'Malley is exactly why a guy like Trump can poll positive numbers. As far as black lives matter it's bullshit. If the people spouting this latest dumbass liberal talking point meant what they say there would be demonstrations every weekend in Chicago, Detroit, LA, Oakland, and Washington D.C. where it's open season on blacks by other blacks.

what about the congressman, who shouted "you lie!" to the POTUS?
He was out of order. He was also correct but that doesn't excuse his manners.
