That craven toady posted:

“And he said to me, ‘What do I say’” Kelly recalled Trump asking him, before calling the families of those lost in Niger.

“I said to him, sir, there’s nothing you can do to lighten the burden on these families,” Kelly continued. “But let me tell you what I tell them, let me tell you what my best friend, Joe Dunford, told me, because he was my casualty officer.”

“He said ‘Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent.’”

Kelly was the source of the "He knew what he signed up for line." Kelly was the loving source. It's a terrible thing to say to a widow even before Trump twisted it up. And now Kelly is complaining about someone overhearing it instead of resigning in disgrace. I'm glad I never had to salute that rear end in a top hat. I'd have to consider chopping my hand off.

It's what Dunford said to him about his son. Maybe something a father in the military might understand maybe not something a wife is going to take too well.

He also told Trump calling was a bad idea so...

It sounds to me like the sentiment that Kelly was trying to hand over to the toddler-in-chief was supposed to be "he died fighting for the country he loved, and he's probably OK with that" but the words got filtered through a swiss-cheesed dementia mush brain and the emotional content was thoroughly rejected by a hideously hosed up personality that sees empathy as trying to divide by zero.

So Kelly's continued support is, as was said before, pouring liquid dog poo poo on his own reputation.

I find it simultaneously ironic and revealing that Manning's ilk call the protection of the legitimate exercise of free speech fascism. Quite the contrary.

Spencer is a Nazi piece of poo poo, but he is an American citizen and has all of the rights that that entails.

The problem is the lengths that the authorities are going to to protect his speech. $600k for security and a state of emergency is loving insane.

Like yeah everyone deserves the right to free speech, but when you're spending over half a million to protect the right to free speech of a loving nazi, something's really hosed up.

Yes, something's really hosed up, and it's not the protecting free speech part.

The security isn't to protect the speech, it's to keep the protest and counter protest from turning into Charlottesville 2: 2 Nazi 2 Tiki

Isn't Free Speech the most readily abrogated right codified in the Bill of Rights? When you contextualize these type of events with the types of organizing taking place on-line on forums like stormfront the idea that the problem lies with those counter-protesting appearances is pretty transparently retarded.

It is amusing to see Nazis fall back on the bill of rights they openly want to gut. They are taking cover under free speech protections to promote an ideology that would revoke those same protections.

And expecting people to peacefully accept the speech of people who want to gain political power so they can eliminate them doesn't seem entirely reasonable either. How do you draw the line between "I want to kill that black guy, Bob.", "I want to kill all black people", and "It sure would be nice if you voted us into power and something happened to all these black people"? Reasonable people can come down on different limits for acceptable speech as it comes to promoting violence, no?

Agreed.


I think my frustration is when people on the left scream "FASCIST POLICE STATE" about the cops protecting shitheads like Spencer whereas I'm completely fine with the argument of "Hey, it's an issue that these assholes are costing the state half a million dollars to provide security among other issues. That's problematic for numerous reasons beyond the cost."


I just get annoyed when every little thing is suddenly the action of a fascist state according to those types. It detracts from the meaning of the word to the point if/when that poo poo does actually start occuring, people ignore you because you've cried wolf for so loving long.

EDIT:
