You people pushed too far and tried to push us into oblivion and NOW you want to whine when the truth is given such a high stand to stand on.....oh well..Doesn't like Jews yet he opened Breitbarts Jerusalem office....yeahhhhhhh if he didn't like Jews why in the hell would he expand his company to Israel!? Bannon is AWESOME and I love his appointment to the WH....the big boss man is back and the scum need to learn their place.The one thing that can be said about Trumps campaign is that it legitimized and gave a platform to a group that has been largely despised and marginalized. They saw something in Trump that resonated.
However....it's one thing to grant that legitimacy in a campaign and quite another to install it officially in your White House. In a very unusual move, Bannon is being given equal authority to WH Chief of Staff Pribus.
Stephen Bannon, leader of the "alt-right" movement, will now give that fringe group even greater national legitimacy then it had during the campaign.
How does this fit with traditional Republican conservatives...? Not very easily.
This was from August, from a former Brietbart writer:
The Breitbart alt-right just took over the GOP
Constitutional conservatives can’t stand the alt-right. Conservatives — real conservatives — believe that only a philosophy of limited government, God-given rights and personal responsibility can save the country. And that creed is not bound to race or ethnicity. Broad swaths of the alt-right, by contrast, believe in a creed-free, race-based nationalism, insisting, among other things, that birth on American soil confers superiority. The alt-right sees limited-government constitutionalism as passé; it holds that only nationalist populism on the basis of shared tribal identity can save the country. It’s a movement shot through with racism and anti-Semitism.
From: Stephen Bannon's appointment met with criticism
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, released a statement on Twitter congratulating Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus' appointment to White House chief of staff, but also denouncing Bannons' appointment.
"It is a sad day when a man who presided over the premiere website of the 'alt right' — a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites and racists — is slated to be a senior staff member in the 'people's house,'" Greenblatt said in the statement. "We call on President-elect Trump to appoint and nominate Americans committed to the well-being of all our country's people and who exemplify the values of pluralism and tolerance that make our country great."
Other organizations, such as Jewish Voice for Peace and the Southern Poverty Law Center, made similar comments.
Bannon inexorably bound with alt-right, this is not some ideology from his past coming back to bite him, this is his present and this is his present relationship with Trump.
So who is Bannon?
Well, he doesn't like Muslims: He was a big promoter of anti-Muslim extremists, hosing a radio show that show cased their views. He was instrumental in creating an online haven for the propagation of white supremacist wish lists including the legitimization of all kinds of anti-muslim conspiracy theories.
Nor does he much like Jews:
Trump campaign CEO Bannon complained of Jews at daughters' school
(but according to Gingrich that can't possibly be true because he's worked with Goldman Sachs and Hollywood....)
Well, he doesn't think much of blacks. He tries to differentiate himself from the average skinhead by claiming that the alt-right represents a SMARTER, MORE EDUCATED group of people...ok, so he's Smarter-Than-The-Average-Racist. Whatever that means.
And Bannon has made no attempt to distance himself from his creations in any way shape or form.
This is who will have EQUAL power to the Chief of Staff. How long do you think Pribus will stay?
I just did a search on Odium posts about Jews. No wonder you like Bannon.
Now I'm going to brush my teeth.
Your "us" truly deserves to be marginalized. But don't worry. We'll come for regular visits and feed you cookies and peanuts from the dispenser.
