How Soviet Has America’s Feminized, Fascistic Dem Owned News World Already Become?

COVINGTON CATHOLIC UPDATE

by John Hinderaker  at PowerLine:

A friend told me this morning that he thinks the Covington Catholic media scandal will be a turning point in Americans’ view of the press. Maybe so, but there have been a lot of turning points in the years since, for example, Rathergate, and no one has yet besieged the New York Times building with pitchforks.

We can’t possibly keep up with all of the Covington Catholic fallout, so here are a few items. First, the school canceled classes this morning and barred all students and parents from campus. That is what you have to do when you get large numbers of death threats from liberals, I suppose.

Second, Saturday Night Live “comedy writer” Sarah Beattie was one of the more moderate members of the liberal lynch mob. She only wanted someone to slug the principal young man who appears in the “viral” video (ie., the one that failed to show how the Native American activist, with his followers and camera man, waded into the Covington Catholic kids, who were innocently minding their own business, and started banging his drum in their faces):

 

This is an offer that we have seen before, e.g. from Madonna and Newsweek reporter Nina Burleigh. Also Italian actress Paola Saulino, who seems to be the only one who has actually made good on her fellatio pledge. No matter how strange you think liberals are, you underestimate their weirdness.

Third, Mark Steyn rightly criticizes conservative commentators who foolishly jumped on the anti-Covington bandwagon. What were they thinking, especially since even the original, brief video that showed up on Twitter and Facebook didn’t show the boys doing anything wrong? Mark writes:

What’s disturbing about this fake hate crime is not that the Twitter mob scented blood in its nostrils and went bounding after its prey, but that a big chunk of Conservative Inc piled on, as enthusiastically as the left. …

I talked on Rush last Friday about the folly, in philosophical terms, of always accepting your opponents’ premises, even unto accepting and advancing the notion that “western civilization” is hate speech. How is that in the interest of even the most milquetoast and watery version of “conservatism”?

But accepting not just your opponents’ framing of the argument but their most repulsive totalitarian rituals is even worse. The Orwellian Twitterstorm is something utterly disgusting: It reduces man to a cyber-jackal, feasting on whatever prey is tossed in his path.

Finally, the Twitter mob (or portions of it, anyway) mis-identified the innocent teenager who was accosted by the Native American activist. So the wrong guy was “doxxed,” and the wrong family got death threats:

Social media has wrongly identified a Cincinnati, Ohio teenager as the high school student who engaged in a confrontation with a Native American protester, leading to a slew of online attacks.

Michael Hodge and his family were subject to threats after being doxxed — having personal information shared online — according to his older brother, Andrew Hodge. According to a Sunday Twitter thread by Andrew Hodge, members of his family were harassed and spammed with “threats of physical violence” after their parents’ address got posted online.

“My parents, uncles, & aunts, receive messages stating they are pieces of shit parents and won’t be able to protect #MichaelHodge forever… seriously what kind of behavior is this?” Hodge wrote.

Not that it would be any better, of course, if they had identified the “right” kid.

In a saner world, we might expect liberals to be embarrassed by the Covington Catholic fiasco and perhaps to reflect on how they have gone so badly astray. But in this world? Don’t even think about it. Leftists are already trying to dig up more incidents they can use to smear the school, its students, and ultimately, I suppose, the Catholic church.

Does Associated Press Spread Lefty Lies to Sell Phony Racism to Gain Political Power?

(They do, if they are modern university programmed lefty fascists….a common condition among  American Democrats reporting fake news these days.)

AP STICKIN’ WITH THE STORY

by Scott Johnson  at PowerLine:

A reader writes from China to lend a hand to attorneys who may represent the MAGA hat-wearing Catholic high school studentsin their potential libel lawsuits. According to the AP and other outlets, these students allegedly mocked a Native American after they participated in the pro-life rally in DC on Friday. John posted a screenshot of the principal AP story by Adam Beam and Brian Melley here yesterday. The story has now been widely debunked. The young man who became the target of the resulting abuse has also issued his own statementrecounting what happened.

The original AP story is essentially a crock. It is based on a distorted account of the underlying events. As of this morning, however, the AP still has its original story with the attention-grabbing headline posted without retraction, addition, clarification or correction: “Students in MAGA hats mock Native American rally.” As R. Crumb’s Mr. Natural said after he did the dishes, “Another job well done!”

RINO HOT AIR Guy Beefs about Self-Made Trump Rumor, But Trump’s 190 IQ Doesn’t! It Merely Goes into ACTION Too Fast Sometimes!

Many Think Trump’s A Self-Made Man. What Happens When You Tell Them Otherwise?

by MCDONALD ETAL  at HotAir:

As the figures below show, attitudes toward Trump may be polarized along party lines, but this information does have noticeable and statistically significant effects on evaluations of Trump’s character. For Democrats, who already see Trump as lacking empathy, this information makes them think of him as even less empathetic. But among Republicans, the information is even more damning, reducing perceptions of empathy by more than 10 percentage points.

On perceptions of business acumen, which are higher across both parties, the information regarding Fred Trump’s role in his son’s business success is equally important. Democrats reduce their perceptions of Trump as a good businessman by 6 points, while Republican perceptions decline by 9 points.

These effects may seem small, but the results demonstrate that this misperception was consequential. And among undecided voters or those on the fence, they could make a serious difference in the 2020 election.

(Note:  Trust truth, beware of rumor!!!   If you have followed anything truthful about Donald Trump’s personal  assets, you’d discover his IQ count is somewhere around 200…..far beyond the American President average.

His quickness of thought, deed, and action in problem solving is remarkable, almost unbelievable, and upon occasion may become a problem…   When it comes to a con-artist actor such as sinister but sweet-appearing, antiAmerican, Barack Obama, or high IQ brain of  White House past, such as Richard M. Nixon,  one might want to think deeply about where ones vote must go.

I never voted for the high IQ politicking  Richard M. Nixon.   I never complained about this until I discovered years later that child, Richard Nixon,  was raised fatherless in a California family so poverty stricken, his  brother died from starvation.

That loss in life is tough going, folks! Republican Mr. Nixon was not a bad person as are even  some Democrats these days who have become fascists for America. He never possessed much charm covered with comfort and  charity.   Neither was he ditsy like Nancy Pelosi and ilk.

Trump, the New York City dad, became financially secure to send his off spring to fancy schools…..Donald had to be transferred a time.  Donald was tops in about everything he ever entered to do.   He was a top athlete, as well as a brain……top enough to be offered a contract with the New York Yankees.

Young Trump declined….He preferred to work with his dad.   It was Donald who made the Trump empire it became.   Fascistic American can’t seem to handle that item of Truth……as well as many others about this remarkable 45th President of these United States.)
