And the difference between Valerie Jarrett who is a Muslim Brotherhood supporter is no different.

Didn't take long to dismiss this one.

 

I thought only those on the left did that.

Naw. Consider the source for about 3 seconds and dismiss.

Milo is a gay guy from England who does black guys...

 

The Alt-Right was started has something to overthrow the GOPe. You know, guys like Paul Ryan who are RiNo?...

Breitbart’s website is mostly a sewer of insults and Trump propaganda. Repeating much of what their site publishes would get you suspended here.

 

They’ve been clear about their role as an avatar for the so-called “alt-right.” Bannon himself calls it “the platform of the Alt-Right.” You can read their sympathetic explanation of what that is here.

 

An Establishment Conservative's Guide To The Alt-Right - Breitbart

 

The simple summary is this: Whereas “old-school racist skinheads” are “low-IQ,” the “alternative right are much smarter.” What a relief.

 

They further go on to dismiss the racist memes disseminated by alt-righters on Twitter and Reddit as “just having fun” or “jokes.” Holocaust “jokes” are always a hit. The article praises the growing movement of “mostly white, mostly male middle-American radicals, who are unapologetically embracing a new identity politics that prioritises the interests of their own demographic.”

 

They go on to list several of the movement’s “intellectuals,” who “argue that culture is inseparable from race. The alt-right believe that some degree of separation between peoples is necessary for a culture to be preserved.” The list amounts to a who’s who of intellectual racists.

 

Take their movement’s “intellectual” Richard Spencer, who believes white people need their own “ethnostate,” or a white “homeland,” just like Jews have Israel. After all, “race is the foundation of identity”: “there are races who, on average, are going to be superior” and “low-IQ Mexican immigration is the greatest threat to America.”

 

Spencer considers MLK to the “god of white dispossession” and believes laws barring discrimination “helped destroy” Anglo-Saxon American society.

 

Of course, Spencer is an unabashed supporter of Trump. "It's not so much about policy – it's more about the emotions that he evokes. And emotions are more important than facts. Trump sincerely and genuinely cares about Americans, and white Americans in particular,” and “I will be profoundly grateful to Donald Trump for the rest of my life.”

 

Their other intellectual, Steve Sailer, is the founder of the Human Biodiversity Institute. “Human biodiversity” is a fancy way of saying they’re “studying” white racial superiority. Sailer also publishes the site VDARE, which is another outlet for theories of racial hierarchy, and where John Derbyshire penned his racist screed that saw him fired from the conservative National Review.

 

The alt-right doesn’t stop at race, though. The Breitbart piece above also highlights another of their “intellectuals,” Jack Donovan, a men’s rights activist who writes about “masculinity” and "tribalism" for the AlternativeRight website. Movement intellectual Spencer says “Women should never be allowed to make foreign policy. It’s not that they’re ‘weak.’ To the contrary, their vindictiveness knows no bounds.”

 

The person who is most responsible for turning this website into “the platform of the Alt-Right” by curating this pseudo-intellectual drivel is now the next president’s “chief strategist and chief counselor.” I can’t imagine why anyone is bothered by this.

Just skimmed through Kyle Griffin's tweets because I had never heard of him. It did not take long for me to conclude that he is a left wing extremist with no regard for the truth. I saw quotes of CAIR's complaints about Trump. I learned that he is the producer of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC. In a nutshell, he is not somebody who I would cite as an authoritative source on any subject.

 

You misinterpreted the tweet then. All Kyle Griffin did was retweet what John Kasich's top strategist, John Weaver, tweeted out. Don't pay attention to Kyle Griffin. Pay attention to John Weaver. Known as @JWGOP on twitter.

 

The only reason Kyle Griffin is on there is because he is pointing out who John Weaver is.

Less than 24 hours. That still may end up as a new record though. They slept on it this time.

The best tweet I saw about this yesterday wa something to the effect of if the media refuses to acknowledge what the Alt Right movement really is then that media outlet should no longer be trusted.

Nothing to see here.

Kyle Griffin retweeted John Weaver. That means the tweet was authored by John Kasich's top strategist. I know, RINO, yada, yada, but just thought it would be good to have the correct information.

Whatever. Give the guy a chance. /s

I would have quoted John weaver. Nobody associated with MSNBC and that idiot Larry O'Donnell is going to have much credibility among conservatives.

 

It seems to me that if having an alt-right media, anti-Semitic type as a political adviser is an issue for liberals, you would have been demanding that Valerie Jarrett be ousted from Obama's inner circle. There seems to be a considerable inconsistency in accepting Jarrett's role as an adviser for 8 years and trying to pick off Trump's advisers before he is sworn in.

 

If you want conservatives to agree with your Trump bashing, then criticize him for naming Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff. Trump voters who thought they were striking a blow against the RINOs running the GOP must be disappointed at that decision. I am not surprised, but I am disappointed myself.

 

As for Bannon, attacks on him just appear to be the first of what will be a series of smears against Trump's picks. Unfortunately, Bannon transformed the Breitbart brand from a respected conservative news website into part of the media wing of Trump's campaign. I quit reading it for that reason.

 

Maybe those of you who believe that Republicans should be feeling outrage against Bannon could post links to some anti-Semitic Breitbart stories. That would certainly be more effective than citing Larry O'Donnell's producer's re-tweets. Kasich has a little more credibility with me, but not much more.

John Weaver is the one quoted in the tweet I posted. You just aren't looking at it correctly. I know it is confusing to see but the very first tweet is from @JWGOP, then Kyle Griffin quoted the tweet and then Jon Favreau retweeted both of them. I don't follow Kyle Griffin on twitter. I do follow Jon Faveau and no, he is not the Jon Favreau from Ironman/Swingers.

 

We have criticized Trump for not draining the swamp like he promised. There is already a thread on that one. I'll throw you a bone on that one:

 

http://bluegrasspreps.com/kentucky-national-politics/so-much-for-338768.html

 

I'm not doing your research for you. You seem to be a pretty intelligent individual. I would advise you to do your own research on Stephen Bannon and come to your own conclusion. It's obvious that you aren't going to listen to anything we say so do your own work. Or just ignore it. That has seemed to work well in the past. The information is out there for all to see....some of it in court documents.

 

Let me know when you realize we left out the stories of domestic abuse on Bannon.

I have spent so much time criticizing Trump in another forum, I am honestly a bit burned out. I am trying to keep an open mind about him, but naming Priebus as his CoS was a big slap in the face to Ted Cruz supporters and other conservatives. I just don't believe that liberals criticizing anybody for being anti-Semitic have any credibility if they stayed silent for eight years while Valerie Jarrett gave political advice to Obama.

 

I really do not understand why liberals are so upset about Trump being elected. He is a close personal friend of the Clintons and he has been a liberal Democrat for most of his adult life. He criticized Romney's position on illegal immigration as being too harsh in 2012. During his first TV interview on Sunday with 60 minutes he said that the Clintons are good people who he does not want to hurt.

 

I hope that I am wrong, but I believe that Trump is closer to Bill Clinton politically than he is to George W. Bush. Liberals should be ecstatic that Trump was elected instead of a conservative Republican. Yet, they are already taking pot shots at his appointees, two months before he takes office. If liberals are perceived to not be giving Trump a fair chance, there will be a backlash against them among moderates and independents. The people who should be complaining right now are conservatives.
