Children of the Parkland Tragedy Vilified for Speaking Out and Condemned as Phonies

[koshergrl]

A lot of those kids interviewed were crisis actors. They deserve every bit of ridicule.

You are nothing but trash. What yo deserve is something that is not said in public. Are you one of those who are sending death threats?

This is how the left, who carefully orchestrate these events, shuts down anybody who correctly describe the situation.

CNN had *imbedded* kid reporters in the school ready to jump into action the minute the shooter made good on his many, many threats.

They had the scripts all ready to go, the parents on board. The parents who happen in this case to be *retired* FBI..living the good life. It's lucrative to sell your children to socialists. Just ask the child sex traffickers who supply the DNC .

Seriously ? You should be sectioned because you are a danger to yourself.

Socialism and open borders: California and Texas the worst states for human trafficking: report

"As a diverse cultural center and popular destination for immigrants with multiple international borders, California is one of the largest sites of human trafficking in the United States," said the California Attorney General's office in a report on human trafficking.

"Texas, another border state, followed behind at 670 cases and Florida came in third at 550 cases, according to the hotline."

How come the left wingers are protesting against Trump and not their school for failing to provide security?

Because the kids are smart enough to see that Trump's idiotic solution is to turn schools into armed camps while he and the Republican's continue to kiss the ass of the gun lobby.

Oh, OK, the Students are being duped by left wing propaganda

Student Anti-Gun Activist Featured In CBS News Story – Six Months Ago

And his family is filthy rich..despite his dad being *retired* fbi and his mom some sort of school employee.

This is what the fbi does. They create these monsters and they use them to justify attacks on innocents...for the purpose of accelerating the destruction of the constitution, and the overthrow of our government.

Question: Who would dare, who has the temerity, who has the viciousness in them to target distraught, children who survived a school shooting and are desperate for adults to stop the killing, with a smear campaign? Who is willing to join in the chorus of voices advancing the absurd claim that they, the student survivors of the Parkland massacre are puppets of larger, nefarious forces” and participants in a conspiracy.

The unifying principle of the right-wing smear campaign against the student survivors of the Parkland massacre is that they are puppets of larger, nefarious forces. The attacks first gained prominence on Monday on the pro-Trump blog Gateway Pundit which claimed, without any evidence, that student David Hogg was a pawn of the FBI and was “merely reciting a script” in media interviews. By Tuesday, as the initial attacks gained support from Donald Trump Jr. and a former congressman, Gateway Pundit escalated the attacks, suggesting. Hogg and other students were crisis actors recruited from the school’s theater department by far-left groups controlled by George Soros. Similar outlandish claims went viral on Facebook.

Even if these kids are being coached or encouraged in some way, even if they are networking as part of a larger movement- and I hope that they are-it’s no excuse for people who are supposed to be adults to vilify them. That is no different than what right-wingers do in order to advance their agenda They were even called un-American. What is more American than protesting and exercising one’s right to free speech?

This is a thinly vailed attempt to silence them. This is evidence that the right is running scared. Scared of these children who are livid and rising up. The NRA, Trump, and their lackeys may have well met their match.

The initial attack was even more despicable and vicious:

(selected excerpts)

Students who survived the gun massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have emerged as powerful advocates of gun control and fierce critics of the NRA. Now they are being targeted by a right-wing smear campaign.

David Hogg, a senior at the school, was one of the first to appear on national television and demand action. “We’re children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Come over your politics and get something done,” Hogg said, looking directly into the camera.

Hogg is now being targeted by Gateway Pundit, a far-right blog that has press credentials from the Trump White House. A post published on Monday by the site’s White House correspondent, Lucian Wintrich, features Hogg’s photo with the word “EXPOSED” stamped in red.

The Gateway Pundit story is spreading quickly on Facebook and has already been picked up by One American News Network, another right-wing outlet with White House media credentials.

(selected excerpts)

The teenagers of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., who a week ago lost 17 of their classmates and school staff members in a mass shooting, have emerged as passionate advocates for reform, speaking openly of their anger in the hope of forcing a reckoning on guns.

But in certain right-wing corners of the web — and, increasingly, from more mainstream voices like Rush Limbaugh and a commentator on CNN — the students are being portrayed not as grief-ridden survivors but as pawns and conspiracists intent on exploiting a tragedy to undermine the nation’s laws.

The theories are far-fetched. But they are finding a broad and prominent audience online. On Tuesday, the president’s son Donald J. Trump Jr. liked a pair of tweets that accused David Hogg, a 17-year-old who is among the most outspoken of the Parkland students, of criticizing the Trump administration in an effort to protect his father, whom Mr. Hogg has described as a retired F.B.I. agent.

Well, if you're looking for the USMB members that believe this tripe, you can start off with Blind Whore (MindWars). She's already started a thread saying that the kids are "crisis actors".

That being said, I think it is a bit hypocritical, as well as quite a bit sad. Didn't the conservatives say that kids are off limits during the election?

Guess they are off limits only when they agree with the conservative agenda. Speak out against it and get savaged by their attack dogs.

The left loves hiding behind children.

They think their idiotology won't be challenged if they put the kids out there.

So you agree with these despicable cowards that are condemning the survivors- and for what exactly? No one is hiding behind the kids. We on the left are voicing our opinions in broad daylight unlike the cowards who promote conspiracy theories about kids.

Questioning their motives and sincerity is not "promoting conspiracy theories".

it's promoting your insanity is what it is.

David Hogg, a senior at the school, was one of the first to appear on national television and demand action. “We’re children. You guys are the adults. You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Come over your politics and get something done,” Hogg said, looking directly into the camera.

Hogg is now being targeted by Gateway Pundit, a far-right blog that has press credentials from the Trump White House. A post published on Monday by the site’s White House correspondent, Lucian Wintrich, features Hogg’s photo with the word “EXPOSED” stamped in red.

The Gateway Pundit story is spreading quickly on Facebook and has already been picked up by One American News Network, another right-wing outlet with White House media credentials.

The teenagers of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., who a week ago lost 17 of their classmates and school staff members in a mass shooting, have emerged as passionate advocates for reform, speaking openly of their anger in the hope of forcing a reckoning on guns.

But in certain right-wing corners of the web — and, increasingly, from more mainstream voices like Rush Limbaugh and a commentator on CNN — the students are being portrayed not as grief-ridden survivors but as pawns and conspiracists intent on exploiting a tragedy to undermine the nation’s laws.

The theories are far-fetched. But they are finding a broad and prominent audience online. On Tuesday, the president’s son Donald J. Trump Jr. liked a pair of tweets that accused David Hogg, a 17-year-old who is among the most outspoken of the Parkland students, of criticizing the Trump administration in an effort to protect his father, whom Mr. Hogg has described as a retired F.B.I. agent.

CNN was giving scripted questions to the survivors AND to say David Hogg's background is pretty sketchy would be an understatement.

Question: Who would dare, who has the temerity, who has the viciousness in them to target distraught, children who survived a school shooting and are desperate for adults to stop the killing, with a smear campaign? Who is willing to join in the chorus of voices advancing the absurd claim that they, the student survivors of the Parkland massacre are puppets of larger, nefarious forces” and participants in a conspiracy.

Answer: (A partial list)

1) Fox News

2) Donald Trump Jr.

3) The Gateway Pundit

4) One America News Network

5) Rush Limbaugh

6) Alex Jones

My guess is that I will soon be adding USMB participants to this list

Even if these kids are being coached or encouraged in some way, even if they are networking as part of a larger movement- and I hope that they are-it’s no excuse for people who are supposed to be adults to vilify them. That is no different than what right-wingers do in order to advance their agenda They were even called un-American. What is more American than protesting and exercising one’s right to free speech?

This is a thinly vailed attempt to silence them. This is evidence that the right is running scared. Scared of these children who are livid and rising up. The NRA, Trump, and their lackeys may have well met their match.

The initial attack was even more despicable and vicious:

This type of batshittery used to belong to fringe groups like the John Birch Society. Now it is mainstream conservatism. What self-respecting adult could even think of demonizing children that just witnessed 17 of their classmates murdered in front of them?

Conservatism has become a malignant cancer in this society. They have separated from normal everyday society themselves. I think it's time to let them go their own way and break up the country. These people want a distopia with a wall around it where they can practice their psychopathic paranoia on their own. All the rest of humanity would be better off if these people gathered themselves in the old south, built a yuuuuge wall around themselves, and never ventured out of the gate.

You pieces of shit attack white people who have been victims of hate crimes all the time.

You pieces of shit also attack anyone who speaks up about anti-white hate crimes.

Socialists. We have to stop expecting them to behave in a reasonable, legal, or decent manner.

your behavior makes jesus weep.

Maybe you assholes should stop attacking Christians before you try this guilt tripping bullshit...

lol... i AM a christian you dumb ass.

The unifying principle of the right-wing smear campaign against the student survivors of the Parkland massacre is that they are puppets of larger, nefarious forces. The attacks first gained prominence on Monday on the pro-Trump blog Gateway Pundit which claimed, without any evidence, that student David Hogg was a pawn of the FBI and was “merely reciting a script” in media interviews. By Tuesday, as the initial attacks gained support from Donald Trump Jr. and a former congressman, Gateway Pundit escalated the attacks, suggesting. Hogg and other students were crisis actors recruited from the school’s theater department by far-left groups controlled by George Soros. Similar outlandish claims went viral on Facebook.

Even if these kids are being coached or encouraged in some way, even if they are networking as part of a larger movement- and I hope that they are-it’s no excuse for people who are supposed to be adults to vilify them.

No you aren't.

You just have the belief that you are one.

A lot of those kids interviewed were crisis actors. They deserve every bit of ridicule.

You are nothing but trash. What yo deserve is something that is not said in public. Are you one of those who are sending death threats?

This is how the left, who carefully orchestrate these events, shuts down anybody who correctly describe the situation.

CNN had *imbedded* kid reporters in the school ready to jump into action the minute the shooter made good on his many, many threats.

They had the scripts all ready to go, the parents on board. The parents who happen in this case to be *retired* FBI..living the good life. It's lucrative to sell your children to socialists. Just ask the child sex traffickers who supply the DNC .

Seriously ? You should be sectioned because you are a danger to yourself.

Socialism and open borders: California and Texas the worst states for human trafficking: report

"As a diverse cultural center and popular destination for immigrants with multiple international borders, California is one of the largest sites of human trafficking in the United States," said the California Attorney General's office in a report on human trafficking.

"Texas, another border state, followed behind at 670 cases and Florida came in third at 550 cases, according to the hotline."

And this allows you to vilify kids that have been shot at ?
What planet are you living on ?

Actually, I'm not villifying the kids. I'm villifying the people who manipulate them..and calling out the kids who just happened to already have really close ties with CNN, who just happened to have CNN on speed dial, who just happened to be reading scripts provided to them by an offscreen director. I applaud the ROTC student who refused to say the words provided to him by the fake journalists.

The kids are just stupid kids, being used by socialists.

However I doubt that CNN's darling imbed *reporters* were in any danger. My guess is that they were strategically placed not to be in the line of fire.
