Trump Allies Target Journalists Over Coverage Deemed Hostile to White House

I would agree with you that because of his position as Dean, it was a bad idea to make such remarks publicly, even if his accusations were accurate.

 

They were unfounded slander, that's why he was fired. Not good to have the Dean slandering students simply for being a member of the opposing political party.

 

Lamo.

 

Wait a moment! Didn't Democrats assure Americans that Bush (both of them) was Hitler? And wasn't Romney Hitler too? Dems are great about seeing fascism descending on the Republicans but for some strange reason, it always ends up falling on the Democrats.

 

You seem to be forgetting the bigot in chief

 

It's a little late to be criticizing Obama.

 

Obama's gone, chief

Time to be afraid of something else

Seems you picked honduran women and children

Guess we all have varying levels of testosterone

 

Yes, which is why I was surprised that you were focusing on Obama's bigoted presidency. Wake up, it's morning in America and has been since January, 2017

 

Now it's anti-Semitic to be against the Nazis.

SAUL ALINSKY SMILES: Liberals haunted by social media tactics they use against the right.

The people who have made an industry out of destroying ordinary people’s lives over old social media posts and out-of-context comments are very upset that it’s happening to them. The New York Times, clearly worried by the recent exposure of blatantly anti-Semitic tweets posted by one of its reporters, and clearly worried that even more embarrassing material is in reserve, tried to stop the hemorrhaging with a rambling article demonizing the independent journalists who uncovered the tweets.

In fact, much of the liberal media sphere went into panic mode, vehemently declaring that this particular exercise of the First Amendment is actually an attack on the First Amendment. The reason why liberal editors are so distraught that independent conservative journalists are publishing evidence of the racist, anti-Semitic, and otherwise vile sentiments expressed by their supposedly “objective” employees comes down — as it usually does — to power.

Many journalists are in the profession not to inform the public, but to gain the power to destroy people who question them — and they don’t like those tactics being turned against them. “sing journalistic techniques to target journalists and news organizations ... is fundamentally different from the well-established role of the news media in scrutinizing people in positions of power,” the Times wrote in its article — which was of course labeled “news,” not “opinion.”

 

Antisemites seem very comfortable in the Left.

GIRL CAN’T HELP IT: Plame Falsely Accuses Jew of Leaking CIA Identity. “Anti-Semitic candidate recycles debunked smears, wrongly accuses Scooter Libby.”

 

They are Fake News Liars, that's fer sure!

UNEXPECTEDLY: Washington Post stands by bogus report claiming North Carolina GOP held vote while Democrats were at 9/11 ceremony.

“You may want to sit down for this one: A major newsroom published a bogus story this week casting Republicans as villains and Democrats as noble victims. Big, I know.”

 

While you are right that the KKK was a byproduct of policies of the Democratic Party during the mid 19th century, & the Republican Party was then the party striving for more civil rights, both parties reversed themselves between then & the 1960's Civil Rights Movement. Today both parties are completely reversed, & it's the Republican Party members who wish to preserve the status quo of white supremacy, while the Democratic Party strives for more civil rights for all.

 

As I've stated in another post, the KKK was founded as a byproduct of policies of the Democratic Party in the mid 19th century. At that time, Democrats were for preserving the status quo--including slavery--& the KKK formed & thrived under those Democratic policies. At that time, the Republican Party sought to end slavery, & expand civil rights for former slaves. In the decades between the Civil War & the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, BOTH PARTIES reversed their positions, so that today it is the Republicans who are supporting the status quo of white dominance & restricting civil rights for women & Americans with colored skin, while the Democrats support expanding civil rights for all. Even Antifa was founded on a philosophy of opposing white supremacist views--which I agree with. But Antifa went so far as to accept violent opposition as an acceptable part of their movement, which I & most Democrats disagree with. Antifa represents a small minority of Democrats today, just as the KKK hopefully represents a minority of Republicans. Both the KKK & Antifa represent extremist organizations that don't accurately reflect the feelings of most Americans.

 

You mean there were government funded jobs, rebuilding the military machine for war. That's is nothing like the economic boom in America.

 

And building the Autobahns, which were the models for our Interstates, the single greatest infrastructure contribution to our modern prosperity. But you are right, most of Germany's "prosperity" was papered over an economy still ravaged by war, and a great deal of it was looted from the Jews and all of the other "untermensch"

 

Progressives/Communists are currently losing in America for the same reason the evangelicals lost in the 80/90's.

They are trying to be the 'moral authority', telling people how to live their lives, or else be "shunned" from the community.

That is so anti-American that it isn't even funny .... although it is pretty funny how Progressives/Communists are absolutely destroying their reputation with the American people.

All of the Left leaning news outlets are losing audience or even going out of business. All conservative media, the exact opposite.

The only audience these Progressive/Communists have, is their international movement that they try to play off as "All American"

2020 is going to be an amazing litmus test, it's going to be hilarious to watch the epic melt downs of people who are only watching CNN and reading the NYT and have no clue what is actually going on.

 

When I was a kid, my brother and I played Little League Baseball. Whenever we lost a game, we would go home and re-play the entire game in the back yard. We came to the same conclusion every time--WE GOT CHEATED!!

The only difference between us and the losers in 2016 was that we grew up.

it looks like 2016 and now 2020 are going to be a double header.

 

Isn't it fascinating that Democrats think all vestiges of the Confederacy must be destroyed because: slavery. Yet they keep being Democrats in spite of their party's long history of promoting slavery.

All that reversed is that Democrats have become the party of big government, and everybody who likes being on the government teat supports them. Democrats are no more for civil rights today than they were during the Jim Crow era, as their support for the authoritarian Brownshirs Antifa proves.

 

So you can't name a single authoritarian Brownshirt group started by Republicans? That's because we're the party of civil rights and law and order. Democrats are the party of the Machine, corruption, and authoritarianism.

 

I'm a Democrat, & while I do support the basic core opposition Antifa has toward white supremacy, I DON'T support their openness toward violence to achieve their way, any more than I support that same violence practiced by the KKK or other white supremacist groups. Your post suggests Democrats everywhere support Antifa. I know of no other Democrats in my personal sphere of acquaintance who do that, so I think you are wrong.

Regarding the Confederacy, I was born & raised in the South, & had great grandfathers who fought & died in that war. One died in it. From my perspective in the future, looking back, I see that by joining the Confederacy, one actually fought to preserve the enslavement of other humans. Not all Southern soldiers realized that fact. Many didn't know what they were fighting for, or why. They fought because they were told they had to to be patriotic for their homeland state. Or, they fought because they were told they were being invaded. I don't fault them for their ignorance any more than I fault those functioning under such delusions today, but the leaders of the Confederacy suffered from no such illusions. They knew what they were doing. They knew they were preserving the enslavement of humans based on skin color. And, it is for that simple reason I don't want to see statues anywhere in the South, placed on public land or in front of public offices or buildings, or in public parks, that honor those from the Civil War who were motivated by cruelty toward others. My Confederate ancestors weren't those famous Confederate leaders, but I'd feel the same toward statues of them, if they were.

 

When Democratic candidates for president refuse to condemn Antifa, they must think there's a huge percentage of Dems who like Brownshirt fascists. So yeah, Democrats are totally for having their own thug army.

But Democrats actually nominated a candidate who would have ended the Civil War simply by letting the Confederacy and all its slave leave the Union. This was about 6 months before the South surrendered! And yet you belong to that same slave state enabling party? Cognitive dissonance? I think so.

 

1. Have reporters actually asked any of the candidates about their feeling toward Antifa? I watched all the debates so far, & have no memory of that question being asked. But I think most Democrats feel as I do, that the core issue of resisting white supremacy & the racism that accompanies it, is a good thing. But continue opposing the violence of Antifa.
2. I am no more a member of that Democratic Party than you are a member of the Republican Party of Lincoln. Both parties reversed their Civil War stances & gradually became the very thing they each opposed during the Civil War era. There's no dissonance involved. I'm a member of the post Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-1960s, Democratic Party.

 

Look, if you won't read the links I provide, why should I bother? And the Democratic party of today is just as racist as it ever was. They just express it more quietly because most of the country like the GOP won't tolerate such hatred. How much proof of that racism do you need? Democrats calling an ex-KKK Grand Cyclops (aka Robert Byrd) the "Conscience of the Senate", the hideous behavior of Democrats in Boston during busing to integrate schools. Members of Common Cause caught on hidden microphone wishing they could lynch Clarence Thomas. Thousands of Democrats voting for a white felon rather than Obama during the 2012 primaries. It's all rather nauseating.

 

I know your post is attempting to demonstrate the disparity between what the Democratic Party officially preaches publicly & the actual practice of politics behind the scenes by some who differ. I agree with many of the points you make, but connect it differently. To me, your post illustrates the diversity of America in a very real way. Both parties have members who don't fit comfortably with the core elements. If I wanted to take the time, I could come up with comparable examples on the Republican side that seem as odd & discomforting as the examples you cited in your post. America is a diverse nation with a wide range of personal views. We can make that our strength, or fight among ourselves & lose the benefits of that diversity. It's our choice. I would rather enjoy the diversity.
