Yeah, she's been on quite a few right wing shows and is clearly not OK. She implied at one point there was a rift between her and Sean's wife(fiancé?) for some reason. Right wing hosts are giving her sympathy/support while milking her grief and unfocused rage.

It's really devastating to watch and I need to turn the station whenever she comes on these days.

She's a traumatized mother, who is being given a platform to air her grief -- even if she doesn't understand the why and how of it all.

The people taking advantage of her like this are awful people. Literally the worst.

Right now it's about 40F here and that's shut up a lot of the assholes, especially because it's almost Iditarod time and the practice tracks are all mud.

Ms Smith (and Vilerat) actually got mentioned in that Ailes book I read/brought up, namely where she said that right-wing news outlets have made her believe that Obama killed her kid.

Really, it's a shite state of affairs, and the onus is entirely on Fox/etc. for pushing a grieving mother to that edge.

Yeah. Ever since the Benghazi incident and the right's shameless falsehoods over it, I've taken pretty much everything the American right and rightwing media does personally.

What they've done to Vilerat's mother is beyond despicable. Exploiting human grief like that makes me pretty much view them all as soulless monsters.

Yea I think regardless of how he voted, when it comes to the issue of 'should actual dead humans be used as political props' it's safe to assume he was on the 'nope and you're a horrible person for asking' side, like most people with basic morals.

^^^ :argh:

Dinesh D'Souza, who is single-handedly trying to prevent America from becoming an Islamofascist Caliphate, has been indicted for election fraud because he allegedly reimbursed donors to a 2012 Senate campaign, most likely Wendy Long's campaign in New York.

Good thing too because, as you can see, those extra dollars to the Long campaign really helped.

This is pretty much the essence of all my Mom's comments on Global Warming. She doesn't like Al Gore for some reason, therefore, Global Warming is false.

She recently shared a pic and titled it: "Another one for Al Gore's Global Warming - SNOW, yes snow, on the Outer Banks."

(Quick Wikipedia search shows it snows every year in the Outer Banks during the winter months.)

Mom posts, well, this is like... MORE snow. [Therefore, Al Gore stupid.]

(Wants to bonk mom on the head. Tries to explain averages... gives up.)

It's anti-intellectualism at its absolute apex (nadir?).

Mike Huckabee knows what's best for women.

"If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” he continued. “Let us take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be.”

Who's the idiot strategist/consultant that told him it would be a great idea to try to gaslight about how democrats are the 'real' oppressors of women's reproductive rights?


Because if this is Huckabee being a blithering idiot and trying to 4th dimensional chess by himself with 'freestyle bullshitting', that's even sadder than just being a cypher for what overpaid consultants tell you to do.

Well, since I was an impressionable young lad with hope, I am subscribed on Politifact on my Facebook page. This gem popped up in my feed today:

Popular Fact-check over income equality

Of course, being Politifact, most of them are 'truth in the middle' bullshit that just barely skirts by acceptable. Like This one, on how a quarter of American Workers make 18,000 a year, which is a lovely wage.

Their justification for a half-true rating?

Politifact posted:

Ghilarducci said that "a quarter of our workers make $18,000 per year." Census data backs up this top-line number, but beneath the surface, there are reasons for caution.

The number she cites does not refer exclusively to full-year, full-time jobs. Rather, it includes lots of people who had a low income because they worked in a part-time job, or worked for just part of the year. The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details, so we rate it Half True.

All those jobs aren't full time jobs, so it's not that bad! :shepicide:
