Great choice.:thumb:

 

Watching the news everyday after the election and watching the whinning college students and actors and anyother limp biscuit you want to throw into the mix, just makes me more and more excited about Trump as our PRESIDENT.:banana:

Glenn Beck is concerned s out this guy.

 

Have listened to Beck for years. Never again!

Glenn Beck is concerned s out this guy.

 

To be fair, I have been concerned about Glen Beck for quite a while.

Glenn Beck sees him as a competitor.

Just for the sake of a counter-view:

The latest volley on this. ADL backs off - some.

 

Anti-Defamation League Backs Down on False Stephen Bannon Claims

 

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has backed away from its earlier accusations against Stephen K. Bannon, stating on its website: “We are not aware of any anti-Semitic statements from Bannon.”

 

...

 

In a statement noting that the ADL “strongly opposes” Bannon’s new White House appointment, ADL president Jonathan Greenblatt — a former aide to President Barack Obama — called Bannon “a man who presided over the premier website of the Alt Right, a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists.”

 

That is a completely false accusation.

 

Breitbart.com is not “the premier website of the Alt Right.” The only supposed “alt-right” content on the site, among tens of thousands of articles, is one widely-cited journalistic article, “An Establishment Conservative’s Guide to the Alt-Right.”

ADL Statement:

 

Stephen Bannon:

 

While there is a long fact pattern of evidence that Breitbart served as a platform for a wide range of bigotry and there is some controversy related to statements from Mr. Bannon’s divorce proceedings in 2007, we are not aware of any anti-Semitic statements made by Bannon himself. In fact, Jewish employees of Breitbart have challenged the characterization of him and defended him from charges of anti-Semitism. Some have pointed out that Breitbart Jerusalem was launched during his tenure.

 

 

It was obvious ADL was tied to the political left in September when they labled Pepe 'racist' after Pepe was shown in the 'Deplorable' meme. A meme that then 2 days later and two weeks before ADLs sudden condemnation of poor Pepe was featured in a Clinton Campaign hit piece that was part of the official campaign website.

 

As noted above and from what I have found Brietbart ran the one editorial on 'alt-right'. Seems that is it.

 

What is the alt-right? Still not sure. Maybe its sort of this guy. He likes making cutting videos; likes memes; seems in the clip t be pro-2A; but is also pro LGBT and definitely not 'establishment'.

But yet the KKK and many other known white supremacists rejoice the selection of Bannon as a way to make sure Trump stays true to his promises.

 

Good to see your son is staying woke.

 

The normalization continues.

But in fairness PP92, people can take one of your positions and take it to the extreme. Me for instance, immigration, wanting a secure border in and out of itself is not racist. Other people might want tougher immigration because they want people of a certain color from not entering the USA. I am like them? HELL NO! However, like you said, we live in an incredibly sensitive racial environment and we should carefully examine any one that becomes a member of the west wing helping any president-elect. I will keep a watchful eye on Mr. Bannon. I don't blame you for feeling threatened or scared by how Trump ran his campaign and the certain people excited about his election win.

Certainly it seems 'alt-right' has been converted, co-opted or weaponized at this point. And if some of the extreme fringe radical groups want to use it while the MSM wants to use their using it then the term is sort of doomed to be looked at as evil. Oh well. Everyone needs the labels.

 

Not sure what the 'normalization' is. The radical fringes are not going to going away overnight but they should never be embraced or made part of the big tent. So I hope that is not what is meant by normalization. But they can co-opt or try to embrace mainstream functions to give themselves credibility.

 

You know that I know there is still work to do. Things may be better than 20-30 years ago for racial issues. But its not done. Not sure that anything was made better the last 8 years. But even if it was there would still be work to do.

Did the Black Panthers endorse Obama. Yes or No? Did anyone denounce them if so? If not why were they not denounced. Do you agree this is a fair question given the current mood of society?

 

Also for the record I dont care if they did or not. I also dont care if the KKK endorsed Trump. Both those organizations are racist and neither Obama nor Trump wants anything to do with them.

It's all in the delivery of the message.

The Black Panthers that I know and respect were wiped out by the government. The New Black Panthers are not accepted or deemed as credible by anyone except for Fox News. Are we talking Huey Newton Black Panthers or are we talking about whoever is running the New Black Panthers in 2016? You need to clarify that so I can give you my answer. You can't just say Black Panthers to me and lump them all together. My knowledge of Black History is most likely one of the best on BGP so I need clarification. The Black Panthers of today are not and do not represent the Black Panthers of the 60s and 70s no matter how hard Fox News tells you to believe it.
