FRIST PSOT From Press enraged over Trump posted by freeper cotton1706 the article posted:Reporters bristled at their treatment during Donald Trump's campaign event Friday, where the GOP presidential nominee only briefly addressed his past skepticism of President Obama's birthplace and abruptly left without taking any questions. It should be underscored how really, really irritated the press pool is over this one. CNN said "we were duped," and there were multiple unironic accusations of pulling a Rick Roll. No, your calendar is correct, it really is 2016.

Aaronicon posted:You'd think so, but the alt-right seem to be doing a great job hoovering up alienated youth, so they'll be around forever I'm afraid It's a fresh thread so we have a lot of new readers, so we might need a minor refresher course here. Freepers are Boomers. Their hate comes mainly from their upbringing and the resulting worldview, centered on American exceptionalism and the white middle class American Dream(tm). They're conservatives. Change rubs them the wrong way, and society has changed a lot and they are grumpy about it and I will drink their tears as they shed them. The alt-right is majority Millennials and late GenX. Demographically, their composition is similar to that of SA itself. They were not raised to hate, they learned to hate on the internet. The alt-right has effectively no presence on freep, and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon. Despite being crotchety old bigots, JimRob does not allow the members excessive, explicit racist views. The only major alt-right poster on freep was zotted just the other week for being a racist shitstain, and he was called on it by pretty much everyone. It's one of the few zots that I'd agree with. There is zero love between the two groups, and I fully expect to see freep die before the alt-right can stage a takeover.

From Frustrated, Armed With Ropes, Activist Group Plans to Pull Down Andrew Jackson Monument posted by freeper brucedickinsonthe article posted:A New Orleans activist group is threatening to pull down the city's most recognizable statue in response to what members claim are unreasonable delays in removing four other monuments honoring Confederate leaders and a 19th century white supremacist militia. Now, that's what was posted in the excerpt on freep. The full article goes into a bit more detail. To make it clear, this and other statues seem to be destined for the dustbin. the article still posted:A panel of 5th Circuit judges is expected to hear arguments Sept. 28 on whether to extend a court order that would keep the monuments in place while the suit challenging their removal goes to a full trial.

There's not a lot of discussion about it in general, maybe a thread every few days, usually with less than twenty replies. If you want more coverage of the Bundy case, the thread here on SA is hidden in C-SPAM for some reason. Now, for those not really familiar with the issue, the Bureau of Land Management has had the audacity to worry about things like making sure the land isn't overgrazed and proper environmental protections are in place, etc, etc. Locals are upset about this because they don't like that there's reduced local control over local land, leading to the perceptions that their concerns aren't being listened to. Some of their grievances have actual legitimacy, but what the Bundys did has nearly zero local support.

From Unreal! Donald Trump Jr. Comes Under Fire for Comparing Muslim Refugees to Skittles posted by freeper bobsunshine. https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/778016283342307328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw To be clear, the controversy is over the ratio, not the use of Skittles. From a much better article than the one freep used, NPR posted:The post by the Republican presidential candidate's son immediately went viral. It earned the support and praise of many Trump supporters, who worry that an influx of refugees poses an existential security threat. It also drew condemnation from many who viewed the tweet as a flip, dehumanizing way to address a humanitarian catastrophe affecting more than 13 million people. Of course, we all know that freep is not bound by the constraints of reality. quote:To: bobsunshine quote:To: bobsunshine quote:To: Carpe Cerevisi quote:To: bobsunshine quote:To: bobsunshine quote:To: bobsunshine quote:To: WENDLE Oh, also, Donald Trump Jr's tweet comparing Skittles to refugees has caused a furore on social media.

Fathis Munk posted:I've never been able to get over freep's understanding of the religion they claim to follow and protect. I was going to cover Is Mary not a Virgin? The German Bishops’ New Bible Translation Leaves it... Unclear posted by freeper marshmallow, but it turns out that it's just a huge boring slapfight. One of the more curious translations we see in the Bible is the word "virgin" applied to Mary. Some translations instead interpret the word used to describe Mary as "young woman," which is apparently more correct in a literal sense. The end result is that the apostles end up again misquoting or twisting content we see in the OT in order to make it look like Jesus is fulfilling a prophecy when he might not be. As a certified internet atheist, I find this kind of thing to be fascinating. If you have half an hour to burn, Dr. Kristi Winters has started a series discussing historical Jesus. In the first part, she touches on a few similar issues and also discusses similarities between the religious nuts of the day and what we see now from freepers and their cohorts. Anyway, the bottom line is that this isn't a new controversy by any means, and a similar adjustment to some translations last made headlines about five years ago. Freep ends up getting lost in the details and there's a big slapfight over which apologetics are worth listening to and whether or not Mary and Joseph had any other children, and my perpetual favorite freeper, af_vet_1981, ends up calling out a bunch of people on logical fallacies by linking them to google searches of the fallacy.

Well, they aren't wrong, they just don't realize that the people that facebook isn't "cool" for often aren't old enough to vote. From Mispronouncing Student’s Name Now a ‘Microaggression’ posted by freeper COUNTrecount. This is correct when you put the word "Intentionally" in front of the headline, like the rest of the shitshow of an article implies but does not say. But it's from Breitbart, so expecting them to take things like this seriously is clearly out of the question. It should also be no surprise that the only """news""" sites covering this right now are Breitbart, WND, Infowars, and Townhall dot com. Those horrible horrible leftists in the MSM like NBC, PBS, Australia's ABC, and the Independent in the UK covered this when the campaign launched months ago. This seems to be a standard operating procedure among the RWM echo chamber - find a thing related to a social justice topic that isn't in the headlines any more and then cover it stupidly so that their more recent coverage shows up first, earning clickthrus and sweet, sweet ad revenue.

Night10194 posted:Wait, they actually think they're winning? The polls are turning hard against Trump again. Even loving Breitbart's own 'unskewing' poll today has Abuela up 4. You have to remember that freep is currently in full dissent suppression mode. News articles that aren't pro-Trump don't get posted. I haven't seen a single thing about the recent revelations about the Trump Foundation misappropriating funds for personal use, for example. Every poll that gets posted without Trump in the lead is done so with a "barf alert" in the headline and a disassembly of the results in the comments, often disparaging the pollster as unreliable or biased... especially if it's a poll for a MSM outfit. So we know freep hates it when NFL stars support BLM, so what do you think they'll think of freep-like tweets from MLB players? From Mariners' Steve Clevenger is suspended for the rest of the season after controversial tweets posted by freeper Kazan. quote:Seattle catcher Steve Clevenger was suspended without pay for the remainder of the season by the Mariners on Friday, a day after he apologized for a pair of controversial tweets he posted on the violent protests in Charlotte, N.C., and the Black Lives Matter movement. quote:Isn't animals a proper way to describe those breaking out windows, assaulting reporters and beating those of a different race? You shouldn't be surprised at all. quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Regulator quote:To: Kazan I wonder if it's just denial, or whether they really can't see the difference between "it's hard being patriotic when my country's law enforcement is demonstrably bigoted" and "those protesters should be locked up like animals."

What am I asking... this is freep. quote:To: Cubs Fan quote:To: TBP quote:To: Kazan; HangUpNow Freeper llevrok brings us an unfortunate truth. quote:To: TBP quote:To: Kazan quote:To: Kazan

Most of these can be dismissed immediately without a second thought, like Trump's own alleged rape.

All bad things about the enemy are true and they must be destroyed. quote:To: MattinNJ There's one and only one post in the thread that gave the ad any credit at all. A bunch of people saw no problem with the ad. A few thought it was positive for Trump. Freepers are incapable of seeing anything negative about Trump at all, aren't they.

OptimusShr posted:You just know if asked "What did he do that was treasonous?" They wou;dn't be able to name a drat thing. Their dislike for him has so many layers to it, it's absurd. He's black but not even freep is stupid enough to actual embrace real, honest-to-goodness, blatant racism. The advent of the birther movement gave each and every one of those bigots an excuse to hate on him. Now combine that with their attitude about patriotism. Look at their circlejerk over the flag and the national anthem. Jingoism is all that they know. Their own environment stifles dissent. Dissent isn't patriotic, it's treasonous. If you don't like something about America, you must therefore hate America. Every single element of the treason narrative is inside their collective imaginations. It's a meme in the RWM nutjob ecosystem, but they don't have enough insight to realize it... and even if they could realize it, anyone telling them this is clearly going to be an America-hating liberal intellectual that should be thrown in Gitmo. The isolation created by the RWM echo chamber is one of the worst things to ever happen to this country. The schism it's created in our ability to discuss opposing political ideas is going to take some serious work to overcome. Even then, that's only going to be possible once people take their heads out of their asses and look around at loving reality. From Home schooling ripped by Obama education chief posted by freeper kevcol. Let's not beat around the bush here. Nine times out of ten, parents homeschooling their children are doing them a significant disservice. Those parents are often motivated by religiously motivated right wing nutter beliefs and are pulling their children out of school to prevent them from being exposed to liberal ideas, like, oh, I dunno, all of modern teaching theory? These same groups are the ones pushing for ""school choice"" and budget-destroying charter schools, all in an attempt to replace their perceptions of "liberal indoctrination" with ones that they come up with. Their motivations are almost always purely political. (There are edge cases where some children have learning styles or problems that can't be served well by schools, and some schools are indeed horrible places where neither the teachers nor administration give a poo poo, but those are the extreme minority and "bad local schools" is a lovely, lovely excuse.)

woke wedding drone posted:How do you reason, uh, "godfully"? I'm not trying to be an atheist dick but I thought that was the point, you don't reason your way into faith. It's not about reason, it's about "reason." They're talking about bog standard religious indoctrination. If your worldview mandates that there be a god, and that this god is the only source of knowledge and truth, this will act as a filter against ideas that will call those beliefs into doubt. Evolution can't be true because that's not how it's documented in the religious texts. Global warming can't be true because a loving, caring god would never allow his creation to be tainted. Abortion is always evil because it's killing a babby. The death penalty is A-OK because it's proscribed in the religious texts. I could go on and on and on. Indoctrination of this type is toxic to independent reasoning. In that last post they went on and on about how those darned liberal schools were teaching a new set of obedient drones without understanding that imposing their own restrictive worldview on their own children and separating them from their peers ends up serving the same purpose that they're afraid of. They're not wrong about there being significant structural problems in schools, especially high schools, but their solution is insane. It's just more of the same short-sighted cultural isolation that you see all over the religious and right wing nutjob communities.
