That wasn't a joke? I had a good laugh when it hit my Twitter feed at how it highlights the stupidity of the current media landscape. It was a very funny joke.

I would say screenshot this for posterity because it's going to be deleted soon after everyone in this thread with a twitter account reported it, but I think we're all better with it not being here.

Ah missed that. It was posted unironically in an anti-vaxx group I follow. I do this because I hate myself and enjoy feeling anger and contempt.

I mean one of those things is objectively false. Koenigsegg was founded in the 90s.

Although I guess they say "have" rather than "had," so by that metric, everyone has the best music and fastest cars.

Oh, this d-bag again (before I begin, I am a combat disabled veteran of the Iraq War).

He's a severely brain-damaged right-wing nutjob who had a very brief brush with fame, when he posted some idiotic Open Letter to Obama, which was basically a pout that Obama's statements on Iraq really hurt his feelings, since he was truly deluded that he lost his limbs searching for WMDs in Iraq in service to God, Dick Cheney, and NASCAR. And that awful Obummer was taking away the meaning behind his sacrifice by correctly saying the Iraq War was bullshit.

He was a right-wing media darling for about five minutes. Why didn't his fame last? Yeah, he couldn't filter why he actually didn't like Obama.

I'll let you figure out why the right-wing media pulled the "I don't know her," on an angry, brain-damaged redneck as soon as his social media postings came to light.

quote:

Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage is vowing to fight Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg — all the way up to Supreme Court if necessary — if the social media giant does not reinstate his Facebook pages, which Facebook deleted without warning or explanation.

“I’m going to take the fight to Facebook. No one has ever done it. You can tell the rage I have over this whole thing,” Kolfage said in an interview with Breitbart News Daily Sirius XM host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Friday.

“We are not going to stop until Facebook is held accountable on this for everybody. This is not about me. This is about free speech and this is about what they are doing to Americans,” he said.

Kolfage, who lost three limbs fighting in the Iraq War in 2004, was the administrator of the widely-read conservative Right Wing News page on Facebook, which had more than three million followers. He also founded a coffee company, Military Grade Coffee, which had more than 200,000 customers and is how he makes a living for his family.

But earlier this month, Facebook deleted both pages, without warning and without explanation. When Facebook rolled out new rules nine months ago, Kolfage contacted Facebook to make sure his pages were in compliance.

After months of emailing, he finally had a scheduled appointment with a Facebook executive on October 3, 2018. However, after he raised more than $600,000 in support of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Facebook canceled the meeting and deleted both of his pages. To add insult to injury, Kolfage had over the years dropped more than $300,000 in advertising on his pages.

Kolfage said before Kavanaugh, there was never any problem with his page.

“I’m being punished for my beliefs — I truly believe it,” Kolfage. “It’s truly about who we are and our beliefs…right before the elections — it couldn’t be more blatant what’s going on.”

“We need to come together and Zuckerberg needs to get hauled into court,” he said. “We’re going to take him all the way to Supreme Court if we have to. We’re going to fight for the American people and we’re going to fight for everyone who’s been screwed over by them.”

Although Kolfage is a veteran and a triple amputee, he said his fight is about his freedom of speech and conservative censorship.

“This isn’t about me. This is about free speech,” he said. “Everyone should be rallying around this. Everyone should be pissed off about this. Regardless of my politics, they came after my primary source of income because of my politics, and that’s what’s wrong. And that’s why everyone should be rallying around me.”

However, the irony that he fought and sacrificed for American rights and values such as freedom of speech and is now being denied those same rights does not escape him.

“I can’t let my sacrifice just fall by the wayside. I can’t let it fall by the wayside for my family, the people I love, the country I love. I’ve given way too much, way too much,” he said.

As a triple amputee, he says life is just getting harder and harder. He said as his young children grow up, he is discovering there is more that he cannot do with them, such as playing soccer.

“They just started playing soccer. I can’t kick the drat soccer ball with them and help them learn how to play soccer,” he said. And now, he said, Facebook is kicking him down.

“I”m seeing that I can’t do stuff with my kids…and then Facebook over here and these tech companies are just kicking me,” he said.

He also notes that his friends in the liberal and mainstream media outlets are refusing to cover his plight or not answering his emails.

“It shows where the line in the sand is drawn. I know who’s contacted me and who hasn’t contacted me,” he said. “I have friends at CNN — I contacted them. They won’t even email me back over it. And it’s bullcrap.”

Kolfage has started a page at https://www.fight4freespeech.com. “I really need people to go to this website and sign up and support me,” he said.

“I’m not going to stop. I’m going to see this one through and kick a field goal, and you’re going to see Zuckerberg’s little skinny butt in court.”

The fundraising page doesn’t mention Kolfage’s most recent business venture, a Facebook page titled Right Wing News and a ring of affiliate sites that frequently trafficked in conspiracy theories. In October, Right Wing News was pulled down by Facebook in a sweep of more than 559 pages that the company said were “using fake accounts… to drive traffic to their websites” or “were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate.”

Days after the pulldown, Kolfage created a group called Fight4FreeSpeech, which accepts donations, and is also not referenced in the GoFundMe.

Kolfage told NBC News he didn’t want to mention Right Wing News or Fight4FreeSpeech because he “didn’t want it to be a distraction.”

“I don’t wanna mix the two. That shouldn’t be the focus. My personal issues have nothing to do with building the wall,” he said.

Kolfage also ran Right Wing News’ shuttered affiliate sites including VeteranAF and FreedomDaily, which pushed false conspiracy theories, like ones claiming Hillary Clinton was secretly hiding deadly illnesses and fake voter fraud stories days before the 2016 election.

Those sites stopped operating in March, replaced with a string of text that said “This Website Has Gone Out of Business.”

The shuttering of Kolfage’s sites came a month after Michigan man Joel Vangheluwe sued FreedomDaily and other right wing sites for misidentifying him as the driver of the car that plowed into a group of peaceful protestors at a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The FreedomDaily article relied on the image board 4chan as its major source, according to a letter provided to the court by the contributor named in the suit. Kolfage was not listed as a defendant.

The sites often trafficked in false, inflammatory and racist content, including headlines like “Obnoxious Black People Lose Their Minds When Victoria Secret Models Say This 1 Word On Live Video” and “Trump Just Released Embarrassing Vids Of Obama’s Muslim Friends That He Never Wanted Seen.”
