Republicans: continued

[Brian Peacock]

I'm not going to worry until they start pulling the trigger.

[pErvinalia]

I think most liberals would be a fan of these idiots shooting their dicks off.

Unless they're firing blanks I guess.

'The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.' But we must remember, both sides do it, right?

'Anti-Lockdown Protesters Now Calling for Dems to Die'

As the head of Cowboys for Trump, Couy Griffin has led pro-Trump horse rides through Washington, D.C., and posed for a photo in the White House with Donald Trump. He’s a superfan of the president and on May 17, he made the case that Democrats should die.

“I’ve come to a place where I’ve come to a conclusion where the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat,” Griffin said to cheers at a rally at a New Mexico church. He was there to defy a public safety order pertaining to the coronavirus.

Griffin, a county commissioner in the state, hastily added that he only meant Democrats who were dead in “the political sense”—an effort at cleanup he repeated in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday.

“I could’ve chosen a different verbiage, you know. I guess I need to be more careful when I choose the words that I speak,” Griffin said. “But you know, it’s just so hypocritical of the left how they’re blowing this up, like I’m some hate-speech murderer.”

But in the interview, Griffin also repeated his claim that “the only good Democrat is a dead one” and signaled that he still thinks some top Democrats—such as governors Ralph Northam (D-VA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI)—could be guilty of treason and the punishment that comes with it.

“You get to pick your poison: you either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope,” Griffin said.

Asked by The Daily Beast about whether anti-lockdown protesters are increasingly considering violence, he didn’t hesitate in his reply.

“I’ll tell you what, partner, as far as I’m concerned, there’s not an option that’s not on the table,” Griffin said.

Voter fraud conspiracy theory...

[L'Emmerdeur]

Yes, let's ignore all the peer reviewed studies that have shown that voter fraud in the US is extremely rare, and jump aboard the Republican propaganda wagon! Whee! Yahoo! What a ride!

[L'Emmerdeur]

There was this problem ... but it's all better now.

I didn't see anything in the JW screenshot claiming voter fraud was or wasn't rare.

It was about other stuff, but most have trouble accepting that Judicial Watch is honest, because Fitton comes off honestly as a dick.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Of course, you typed 'Voter fraud conspiracy theory...' merely for decoration. I note that there is no source for the information published by Judicial Watch in that infographic. An honest presentation would cite its source or sources so that the information might be verified. No such luck here. As far as we know they're misrepresenting the facts, but you trust them, and come here to peddle their material.

What is the supposed relevance of the information, if any? What are those who've seen it from the so-called 'Election Integrity Project' to understand from it? That infographic is an example of Judicial Watch's dishonesty. Its obvious implication is that voting fraud is rampant; 'Just look at all those suspicious/fraudulent voter registrations OMG!!!'

It is apparent that you automatically trust right wing sources, while dismissing mainstream sources. You rant and sneer and repeatedly denigrate mainstream news but never ever take note of misinformation and outright lies from right wing media. If Judicial Watch were consistently honest, they'd have a better reputation. They are not.

JW is an example of a blind spot. His stuff (that I have looked into) is pretty honest, and he is unquestioningly a dick about outing liars.

Weinstein interviewed Fitton about it. He seems like an honest guy, right leaning.

Lots of his opposite equivalents pretend they aren't left-leaning, while leaning.

I prefer declared bias over cleverly hidden bias. I understand why people can't listen to him though. He shines a light in ugly corners.

[Hermit]

He shines a light in ugly corners.

Using a torch with a flat battery. L'Emmerdeur just explained to you that (metaphorically) shining a light on something requires links to credible and relevant sources.

[Cunt]

I've had no trouble believing his coverage. He seems honest and assholeish. I haven't fact-checked that meme, but feel free.

[rainbow]

He seems like an honest guy, right leaning.

Make up your mind.

Our member from Yellowstone does not regard consilience with facts as a criterion for honesty. Honesty is proportional to agreement with his bias.

[Joe]

He seems to favor sources with similar reputations in the fact checking community. For Example:



I'm sure this is just fake news though.
