We're not going to disarm America and let the bad guys destroy us.

All I mean to say, she is in the media a lot and she is popular with people for all the reasons stated up above which makes her an easy target for the republicans.


And that's enough to put a target on her back.

It's fine; we do it to republicans too. When they come out with what we consider crazy ideas we criticize them as well.

We'll see.

It's definitely worth a try at least. It would be outstanding if we could destroy the lives of some of these leftist monsters.

Nick Sandmann and the Poverty of Social Media Storms

Over the weekend I gave you my take on the incident at the Lincoln Memorial last Friday. As I argued, the original video that went viral lacked a good deal of context. But when you add in the context, the upshot is not dramatically different, an ugly interaction in which a gaggle of white teens, many in MAGA caps, taunt and jeer an impassive Native American man with ‘tomahawk chops’ amid various hoops and hollers.
How would you expect kids to react when some weirdo walks up to them and starts doing a stupid dance?

@Walter Hinteler,
Shame on the Guardian for being evil scumbags who want to lynch innocent kids.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
One thing that rightwing media understands much better than their liberal counterparts is that the ubiquity of recording devices at any current protest tends to shatter the public record into dozens of pieces.

A particular version of events based on early footage can always be called into question, and another version put forward as definitive, as more footage, and alternative edits of footage emerge. Partisans can pick and choose, knowing that a definitive version of what happened may not emerge before the news cycle has moved on.
The left were the only people who tried to push a misleading narrative before the news cycle moved on.

Leftists are just bitter because they failed in their attempts to lynch innocent kids.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
Just as importantly, additional footage allows the discussion to be reframed. Instead of asking why a group of schoolboys were protesting wearing hats that many in the community view as a symbol of racism, conservatives quickly turned it into a game of who approached whom, and began discussing the teenagers as if they were literal martyrs.
Since the left's attempt to lynch innocent kids involved lying about who approached who, the question of who approached who is highly relevant.

Yes, when evil leftist scumbags try to lynch innocent kids, those innocent kids are martyrs.

The problem of "people viewing MAGA hats as a symbol of racism" can be dealt with by incarcerating everyone who views MAGA hats as a symbol of racism.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
So far, conservative media has been unified and resolute in hammering the narrative that Nathan Philips, a Native American veteran, somehow provoked the boys by coming between them and a small group of Black Hebrew Israelites, to whose insults they had responded to with chants.
It is in the nature of conservatives to tell the truth like this.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
No amount of additional footage showing their Maga-yelling rowdy behavior
I went to the article, clicked its links, and watched the videos.

All this video shows is the students dancing along with the Native American guy.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
and sexist comments before the event
The allegedly sexist comments do not seem all that sexist.

The kids in the video were perhaps vocally rowdy, but so what?

The video was clearly selectively edited to give a misleading account.

There is nothing to say that the kids in the video were from this school.

The person who posted this supposedly "sexist" video, is herself more racist than the KKK.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
not even clear and concise edits showing how aggressive and provocative the teens were and how calm Phillips was – is capable of knocking them off this course.
The video shows no aggression or provocation by the kids.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
Another tactic conservative media uses is to only consider the most appalling versions of opposing arguments, and to focus their audience’s anger on reliable scapegoats.
When leftists do appalling things, leftists get condemned for doing appalling things.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
To avoid confronting reasonable arguments or new evidence, conservatives emphasize the worst of the other side – like tweets calling for violence or doxxing.
Leftists don't present reasonable arguments.

There is no new evidence.

If leftists don't want to be condemned for being horrible monsters, they should stop being horrible monsters.


the evil Guardian newspaper, that likes to lynch innocent kids wrote:
As of Wednesday, as a result of these well-work tactics, liberal media has almost completely backed away from their initial, justified take on the story.
When will we ever learn?
There is nothing even remotely justified about the left's horrible savaging of innocent children.

@revelette1,
I wish you were right about the dems being will?ING to reduce our massive military budget and applying it to things like Medicare and infrastructure. But Obama government never did this when they briefly controlled the congress. Military budgets contribute to the 1% and make them richer. And military people who control spending get good paying jobs after they retire with the industries that make the guns. As I've stated before when it comes to the very rich and taxes there isent that much diffresnnce between deems and repubs. But I will still vote democrat rather comminust in 2020.

@RABEL222,
Why do you have to go full blown Communist? There's a huge amount of space between your Democrat party and Communism. Pretty much every left of centre party in the developed world for starters.

By making such a throwaway comment you're succumbing to the far right's narrative that the Democrats are a stone throw away from embracing Karl Marx and nothing could be further from the truth. They're far more likely to embrace Margaret Thatcher, she supported the NHS, or at least said so .

Your Republican party is far closer to the Nazis than they'd care to admit, that's why all of today's American neo Nazis vote Republican.

She already hates Jew, why not Catholics? She appears to be devout Muslim, her beliefs make her dangerous and a cancer in our government.
Quote:
“The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled ‘it’s not rape if you enjoy it,’” Omar tweeted Tuesday night, before deleting the tweet Wednesday morning. She also erroneously wrote that the students “were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants.”

Omar offered no explanation for her deleted tweet.

The success of Trump, needless to say, is doing grievous harm to the U.S. and the world. The critical question is how much pain will Trump’s core supporters be prepared to suffer while continuing their support of Trump’s policies when slowing global trade and a weakening American economy start to hurt their wallets.

@izzythepush,
I don't know how you got the idea I vote for communists. The democratic party is mostly a socialist orentitated toward the common man, not the rich 1% like the republican party. Police, fire departments, highways, infastructure, social security, and many other programs are socialistic and are good programs that have been given a bad name by the Koche type industrialized republicans. The people in the us are so undereducated that they bent know the difference between comminust and socialist. The saddest thing I see is that piece where that man at one of Trumps rally screams keep your socialist hands off of my Medicare. Sad the stupidity of the average voter.

Your Labour party is full of Jew haters. Your government arrests people for speech, your media is censored, and Islam is destroying what is left of your pitiful gutless country.

The UK is run by Nazi elites. Do not worry about Republicans.

@RABEL222,
Obama did not have a super majority in government for very long at all, in that the time that he did, he passed Obamacare, which did manage to insure a lot more previously uninsured people.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-m-granholm/debunking-the-myth-obamas_b_1929869.html

Since that time, I think a lot more people are turning more to the left than the time Obama was in office in 2008-2016. The more progressive wing of the party has a significant influence on democrats, I think you would see a lot more progressive ideas such as reducing military spending and taxing the richest among us by democrats than in the past.

We only have 11 years 362 to go before the end of the world, ask her.

Except that's not what she said.

The Fox host and some of the panel stupidly (perhaps purposely) misconstrued what she said, which summarized the findings of the recent IPCC report to the UN.

Quote:
The world’s leading climate scientists have warned there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.


That's inexcusably sloppy of host Bill Hemmer. And desperate.
