The Angry Violent Right

Oh, you know, just the Republican leader tacitly threatening violence while lying about the behavior of the Left.

Digging into that Breitbart article, we can see that it is a hit piece on Ryan and of course a very friendly article towards Trump.  However, I did find this exchange interesting. :

When in early 2018, Ryan announced he would not be seeking re-election in the midterms. Critics argued that his not stepping aside hurt the GOP in the midterm elections. Now that Ryan is gone from public life, he took a sharp shot at Trump earlier this week.

“The person who defines that race is going to win the race,” Ryan said about the 2020 presidential race at a lecture in Florida per a local news account. “If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn’t going to win it.”

Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., fired back at Ryan on Twitter earlier in the week, saying the former speaker “failed” in 2012, “lied to us,” did not deliver border wall funding he promised previously, and then went on to lose the House GOP its majority in the midterms.

Pretty rich. Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 running mate, the speaker who lied to us and didn't deliver Wall funding (and then lost the house) gives advice on winning. Paul Ryan: Trump Will Lose in 2020 if Campaign About His 'Personality'

Ryan clarifies:

To be clear, GOP wins elections when they’re about ideas not when they’re personality contests like Dems & media want. We’re clearly better off because of @RealDonaldTrump. His record of accomplishment is why he’ll win re-election especially when compared to Dems’ leftward lurch.

Remember when that woman in Lincoln claimed she was attacked for being a lesbian, and it turned out she vandalized her own house?

Ok I found it:

That was pretty shocking/disturbing when that happened. She was a pretty good basketball player back in the Sanderford days if I am remembering correctly. She obviously had some pretty severe psychological issues, and it also set back the cause some.

I think we can all agree on this. Trump enabling the white supremacists and calling them "very fine people," the "lock her up" chants that go on at his rallies to this day, the inciting of attacks on the press... it's scary out there to be labeled something other than conservative. Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Corey Booker, all labeled and dismissed daily.

Yeah, we have people on this very board trying to shame those of us who use "too many links" to provide factual evidence in a discussion. It's crazy.

Yep. How many of us are constantly called "libs" or "dems" or whatever pet diminutive the angry anti-truthers want to use. But it's only shaming if you accept their opprobrium, remember that.

Amen, man. Amen. I remember when there was a request by two or three members right here on HuskerBoard to have a separate conservatives-only section of P&R so they didn't have to listen to "the libs." People complain to the Mods about "the libs" all the time, trying to stop the voices of people they disagree with.

The mainstream media has always been skewed to the left, they came from liberal arts back grounds from liberal colleges, they overwhelmingly vote for- support and donate to liberal causes. Liberal is not a bad word nor is conservative, it is a fairly reasonable agreed upon description of someones macro beliefs. Liberals have some pretty nasty labels for conservatives if we need to get into that. The mainstream press crucified Bush, Romney and McCain- with little real facts- the same homophobic, racist, greedy, mean etc etc stuff. Trump has plenty to be critical of- he is a buffoon, but the vile hatred that seems to be coming from the mainstream press 24X7 has exposed them for who they are and have always been- not news people reporting on facts, but opinion makers on a mission to shape the world to a world view similar to theirs. That has pissed off a bunch of people- and viola someone like Trump capitalizes on it.

Your anti truther slam- goes against what you are saying you are against- PET DIMINUTIVE NAMES- you trying to shame them to accept your opprobrium.

The vast majority of people trying to "outlaw" - aka make illegal certain words or phrases are those on the left- wanting to create "safe spaces" on college campuses, gender identities etc etc

i dont think there is any big waves going to be caused by a forum having a separate area for a specific group, but Im thinking banning free speech and certain words or phrases on College Campuses- going against our First Amendment is kinda a big deal. 

The vast majority of people we see today having violent protests and death threats against speakers- seem to be from the left and on college campuses against conservatives like Ben Shapiro and Laura Ingraham. Almost all of those speakers being banned or threatened seem to be conservatives. Very shameful anti american stuff.

Have you not read the story of the Coast Guard member with the hit list?

FOX NEWS IS THE MOST WATCHED NETWORK ON CABLE AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS!  THEY ARE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!

 
If someone cant even be truthful to admit- that the media and education system is blatantly biased and left leaning- they are far to entrenched in their positions to warrant a reasonable discussion and possible changing of minds.

It’s also hard to have a reasonable discussion with people who think facts come out of rear ends.

Why do people who watch Fox News act like nobody else is watching Fox News?  Fox News is the big fish.

Fox News has the #1, #3, #4, #5, #6 top ranked shows on TV.  Are the ratings agencies lying to everyone to make it seem like Fox News is being watched more than they actually are?
