Ass Covering: Journalists and Celebs Rush to Delete Tweets Slamming MAGA-Hat Kids

We love them to death in our schools in america.

Notice how the Left refused to lift a finger to protect them. How many shootings have they helped set up with their liberal laws and their bleeding-heart programs. The last killer was allowed to remain free to kill because of Obama policies that looked the other way.

The only way we got where we are in america today was bipartisanly son. Don's had 2 years with majorities in both houses. Where's his "solution"?

That's not how the constitution works.
Take a class in civics.
When you have less than a filibuster proof majority, and you're dealing with an enemy who refuses to negotiate in good faith like Democrats have, nothing gets done. Even when you have a simple majority and you change the rules to allow a vote, Democrats bribe members of the GOP to turn their backs on America.
So having control in both houses only works when you're willing to break the law. When you are bound by the law, control of both houses means jack squat.

More bullshit. Funny how Presidents in the past could keep the government from being shutdown for this long. Trum,p said it./ It is all his fault for lack of leadership.

You would think the expert businessman would know the art of the deal.

Presidents in the past only kicked the can down the road. This President is fixing the problems they refused to fix, and the problems they created.

You're not very bright if you can't seem to figure that out.

The wall fixes nothing.

Hollywood celebs RUSH to apologize to Covington kids!

townhall.com ^ | Posted: Jan 21, 2019

Over the weekend, media painted the narrative that a group of Catholic high school students harassed Native American veterans in Washington, D.C., before having to retract their reports and publish apologies when the fuller story came out. It turns out that the students were not looking to pick a fight with the veterans, who were participating in an Indigenous Peoples March, and video footage showed that the veterans were the first ones to approach them. In a statement telling his side of the story, the junior who was the source of derision this weekend, Nick Sandmann, explained that he was actually trying to diffuse the situation. He was startled by the confrontation, which could explain that strange look on his face that has been circulating on social media.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis was one of several people to say sorry for jumping too quickly to conclusions.

=====================================================================

Jamie Lee Curtis ‏Verified account @jamieleecurtis

There are two sides to every story. I made a snap judgment based on a photograph & I know better than to judge a book by its cover. I wasn’t there. I shouldn’t have commented. I’m glad there wasn’t violence. I hope theses two men can meet and find common ground as can WE ALL!

===============================================================

She also offered a pretty thoughtful suggestion for President Trump.

=======================================================================

Jamie Lee Curtis ✔ @jamieleecurtis

Maybe the POTUS could invite the young man in the video and the Native American war HERO to the WH for a talk and a (root) beer like @BarackObama did with the Boston PD officer and @HenryLouisGates 1,498 8:28 AM - Jan 21, 2019

==========================================================================

A major kudos is due Ms. Curtis here, especially considering so many of her fellow celebrities simply deleted their tweets about the Covington students, instead of properly taking responsibility. CNN's Bakari Sellers, for instance, deleted his tweet that suggested the kids should be "punched in the face," while Patton Oswalt linked to a tweet that doxxed the teenagers.

Several media outlets and pundits did follow Curtis's lead to take that extra step to either issue an apology, or run follow up reports to provide all the context about the dueling protests that occurred outside the Lincoln Memorial.

Onto the next lie.

The teens showed a lot more control in the face of actual provocation than these allegedly sensible and responsible media adults showed in the face of a bogus news report.

Sure.....conservative republicans work overtime to deny what everyone sees in the videos and denigrating the NA vet with a sprinkling of blaming black people. What a perfect conservative republican gaslighting storm.

You can’t be serious, or you didn’t watch the video with the Nation of Islam pronouncements over and over.

The Covington chronicles: on hating the face of a teenage boy

The New Neo ^

One of the most chilling aspects of the hatred fanned by the duplicitous reporting on the videotaped incident regarding the Covington students and the 60-something Native American has been the venomous rage directed against the face of one of the students, as well as the conclusions drawn about the expression on the face and what it might signify about the person.

I've talked about Orwell before in connection with all of this, and I'm going to bring him up again, because the anger unleashed resembles Orwell's Two Minutes Hate (although this hasn't been limited to two minutes at a time). In Nineteen Eighty-Four Orwell wrote of the feeling stirred up in the audience--interestingly enough, by a propaganda film designed for the purpose:

A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic.

The image that provoked a truly hideous rage in an enormous number of people on the left and some on the right was of a teenaged boy named Nicholas Sandmann, whose statement can be found here along with the video screenshot that seems to have sparked the most outrage:



"Bullying" doesn't even begin to describe what has been done to Sandmann by supposedly responsible and thoughtful adults. Even if the original story of what occurred had been true--and it was most definitely not--the depth of the rage would be way out of line.

Here's just one example:

That smug, entitled smile is instantly recognizable. The Face of the Teenager Who Harassed a Native American Veteran Is All Too Familiar

-- Slate (Slate) January 21, 2019



From the article by Ruth Graham, which shows us what the author is fantasizing based on the manipulated story and video:

I think the real reason the clip has spread is simpler: It's the kid's face. The face of self-satisfaction and certitude, of edginess expressed as cruelty. The face remains almost completely still as his peers hoot in awed delight at his bravado. The face is both punchable and untouchable. Many observers recognized it right away.

What is it they "recognized"? A face that is now permissible to hate, apparently; they're not shy about writing about their hate and signing their names to it. That face is white, male, and supposedly "privileged" (whether they know a single thing about that person's actual life circumstances or not). I have come to think of it in a kind of shorthand as hatred towards the "frat boy" in their minds. And it's not new, although I've never before seen a national eruption of this hatred expressed towards someone who is not yet an adult

This hatred is bigoted and prejudiced, pure and simple. The hatred's origins lie not just in the work the media had undertaken to shape its audience towards feeling this hatred--although that is most definitely part of it--but it also is an opportunity for the viewer to draw in all sorts of historical references to other white men and/or boys they have grown to hate, and to make often-absurd parallels.

Graham obliges by telling us who those other white men she hates might be, the ones Sandmann supposedly resembles and conjures up in her fevered brain [emphasis mine]:

The face is in this photo of a clutch of white young men crowding around a single black man at a lunch counter sit-in in Virginia in the 1960s, and in many other images of jeering white men from that era. The face is the rows of Wisconsin high school boys flashing Nazi salutes in a prom picture last year. The face is Brett Kavanaugh--then a student at an all-boys Catholic prep school--"drunkenly laughing" as he allegedly held down Christine Blasey Ford. Anyone who knew the popular white boys in high school recognized it: the confident gaze, the eyes twinkling with menace, the smirk. The face of a boy who is not as smart as he thinks he is, but is exactly as powerful. The face that sneers, "What? I'm just standing here," if you flinch or cry or lash out. The face knows that no matter how you react, it wins.

There are hints there of what's going on in the minds of the haters. A reversal in which the white Sandmann--who actually had been "crowded" by the Native American, Phillips, and was also the object of bigoted racial taunts towards whites from the Black Israelites--becomes falsely identified by Graham with bigoted white aggressors from the past, solely on the basis of their races. Blacks and Native Americans are victims, whites are victimizers, because of the way they look.

The Kavanaugh reference is obvious, and shows the damage done by that entire brouhaha--the stirring up of this same rage against the supposed predations of the "laughing" preppie. Before that, we had the "Jackie" lies in Rolling Stone and the demonization of a fraternity as a result. And prior to that, of course, the Duke lacrosse team falsely accused.

Graham also alludes to more personal origins of this feeling, which for some people at least comes from high school experiences in which some white jock or frat boy was mean to them. That has become a stereotype, reinforced by countless teen flicks and TV shows where this is a stock character. The person is seen as entitled, self-centered, rich, powerful. And hated, well into adulthood.

It's a pernicious, dangerous game being played here. People such as Graham are now perpetrators who see themselves as the righteous ones. This hatred is growing thanks to the awfulness of Twitter, although it was around long before Twitter ever came to exist. One of the most memorable examples comes from 2003, when TNR's Jonathan Chait wrote a piece that begins "I hate George Bush" and goes on to say [emphasis mine]:

There, I said it. I think his policies rank him among the worst presidents in U.S. history. And, while I'm tempted to leave it at that, the truth is that I hate him for less substantive reasons, too. I hate the inequitable way he has come to his economic and political achievements and his utter lack of humility (disguised behind transparently false modesty) at having done so. His favorite answer to the question of nepotism--"I inherited half my father's friends and all his enemies"--conveys the laughable implication that his birth bestowed more disadvantage than advantage. He reminds me of a certain type I knew in high school--the kid who was given a fancy sports car for his sixteenth birthday and believed that he had somehow earned it. I hate the way he walks--shoulders flexed, elbows splayed out from his sides like a teenage boy feigning machismo. I hate the way he talks--blustery self-assurance masked by a pseudopopulist twang. I even hate the things that everybody seems to like about him. I hate his lame nickname-bestowing--a way to establish one's social superiority beneath a veneer of chumminess (does anybody give their boss a nickname without his consent?). And, while most people who meet Bush claim to like him, I suspect that, if I got to know him personally, I would hate him even more.

There seem to be quite a few of us Bush haters. I have friends who have a viscerally hostile reaction to the sound of his voice or describe his existence as a constant oppressive force in their daily psyche. Nor is this phenomenon limited to my personal experience: Pollster Geoff Garin, speaking to The New York Times, called Bush hatred "as strong as anything I've experienced in 25 years now of polling." Columnist Robert Novak described it as a "hatred ... that I have never seen in 44 years of campaign watching."

Bush, at least, was a grown man and a public figure who had put himself in the limelight. Sandmann is not. And yet the root of the rage appears to be the same.

The people hating on Sandmann ought to be ashamed of themselves, but there is no indication of even a flicker of that feeling. Nor are they likely to damp down their hatred based on the evidence of Sandmann's innocence.

They know that face, you see, and it's the face of their enemy.

[ADDENDUM: Some people on the left have been deleting their most rabid tweets, apparently. I would bet a large sum of money that this is because they are afraid of lawsuits. These boys were not public figures, so Sullivanwould not apply even for the newspeople.]

That's not how the constitution works.

When you have less than a filibuster proof majority, and you're dealing with an enemy who refuses to negotiate in good faith like Democrats have, nothing gets done. Even when you have a simple majority and you change the rules to allow a vote, Democrats bribe members of the GOP to turn their backs on America.
So having control in both houses only works when you're willing to break the law. When you are bound by the law, control of both houses means jack squat.
