When it comes to understanding what the alt-left is doing politically, Laura Ingraham gets it better than most

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

It is actually possible to be card carrying capitalist and not be a racist, sexist, homophobic POS.

Could have fooled me. ANYTHING I do that is considered capitalist is IN FACT labeled racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.

Either you are being dishonest about your "capitalist" tendencies, or your overlords have you so duped that you actually believe they are NOT communists.

[Indeependent]

If the Democrats are so well funded and well organized, then WHY are they turning their BHAZ spots into "hellholes?"

BTW - Ingraham had no proof of anything just her OPINIONS which mean nothing, prove nothing and show nothing.
You played right into her conspiracy fantasies and listening to "entertainers" like her, means you will NEVER understand what is really going on.

FOX actually has real journalists, but it also mixes in these "entertainers" who care nothing for the truth. They only care about their ratings, and will say anything to keep their ratings high. Of course that is what has gotten many of them in trouble and fired.

True, President cannot be master of all things, and yet Obama was blamed for all things that went wrong, and got little credit for anythign that went well. LOL

Yeah, she's just a simple entertainer who knows nothing about what's going on:

Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration in the late 1980s. Afterwards she earned a J.D. degree and then went on to work as a judicial clerk in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York and then for United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She also worked for the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in New York City.

In 1985, Ingraham earned a B.A. from Dartmouth College. In 1991, Ingraham earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law.[5]

In the late 1980s, Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration for the Domestic Policy Advisor.[7] She also briefly served as editor of The Prospect, the magazine issued by Concerned Alumni of Princeton. After law school, in 1991, she served as a law clerk for Judge Ralph K. Winter Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York and subsequently clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She then worked as an attorney at the New York-based law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.[8] In 1995, she appeared on the cover of The New York Times Magazine in connection with a story about young conservatives.[9]

In 1996, she and Jay P. Lefkowitz organized the first Dark Ages Weekend in response to Renaissance Weekend.[10]

If she knows what is going on, then her track record of lies cant be excused by ignorance. It is deliberate.

Of course I didn't go through all of them, even though it was a few in a 9 period span. But I know this is a leftist tactic: Make a list of claims knowing that most any conservative will never have time to research all of them, and thus not respond.

But since it's such a frequently used leftist strategy, I usually do just one. In this case, the first one about social distancing.

Before and after Laura made that statement, she provided evidence to her claim with various people from the former head of the FDA, a study in western Europe by the oceanographic institution, and a member of the Stanford University, all of which was in the context of the results of lockdowns.

Speaking of context, she was speaking about the effect of Covid which of course hasn't been studied enough to know. The PolitiLie offered a piece about the common flu. And as so many leftists claimed throughout this thing, the flu and Covid are two different animals.

 

[bendog]

She knows what is going on. These are all very well funded and organized protests and it is totally political. I suggest Trump play this smart, talk to intelligent people who understand the politics of all these protests. These groups have an agenda, and it is to hurt Trump in 2020.

Let THEM be the bad guys. Winning in 2020 is far more important than playing into their hands. Hold those to account whoever who is funding this. If they attack churches, or other places of worship, arrest and charge with hate crimes, go after their funding sources.

As my dad used to say when I was a kid regarding fighting: "they start it, you finish it". Do it methodically and with calculation, because you can be sure as hell that they are.

After a 2020 victory, THEN you go after these Marxist SOB's and their benefactors.

And steve tyler would make a good al-anon sponsor. LOL

The city mayor's have a police force and the governor's have their state national guard. They need to step up and use them to protect their citizens from mobs of rioters and looters.

The mayor doesn't see a need to do any of the things you suggest, and it's her city, not yours. The citizens have told her it's time for the police to shape up and change the way they're doing things, and unlike you and Donald Trump, the mayor is listening to her citizens and THEIR concerns, not denying there is a problem.

She has denied it being a problem since they took it over, you twit.....

The CHAZ is the symptom of the problem, but it is not the problem. No it can't continue, but the CHAZ will continue until the actual problem is addressed in a meaningful way.

THE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR CHANGE TWICE AND NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPS RE-ARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC WHILE THE SHIP IS STILL SINKING.

CHAZ is a symptom of not stopping a problem before it metastasizes. When the anti-Americans started trouble in Minneapolis, they should have summoned the national guard asking for twice as many troops as protesters, gassing them, beating them when necessary, and sending them all home, to the hospital, or to jail.

And, the rest of us get a preview or what Democrat-ran America looks like.

This isn't a preview of what a fair and equitable America will look like. This is what the end of the police state looks like.

For 40 years the racist, homophic, misogynistic policies of the Republican Party, supported by politically active fundamentalist preachers, the Southern Dixiecrats, and other disaffected racists, have run the nation according to the toxic policies of racism and "Zero Tolerance".

Ronald Reagan didn't end the War on Poverty because it was failing. He ended it because it was so successful. The black middle class that Southerners had beaten down with riots and burning in the 1920's and early 30's, had made a re-surgence with affirmative action, and civil rights legislation.

Republicans successfully brainwashed white middle America that race and sloth is the reason for poverty, substance abuse and crime in the inner cities. Middle America pretty much believed those lies too, until they lost manufacturing and the diseases of desperation - addiction, depression and suicide, hit Middle America too.

3 out of the past 4 Republican Presidents have crashed the economy. Each crash has been worse than the last, and communities of colour are the ones most affected by these crashes. Now that these crashes are hitting the middle class just as hard as the poor people, Americans have had enough.

Then there's the cost of your Justice system. 40,000 illegal immigrants in for-profit prison camps. The USA has been turned into a police state with more people in jail than any nation in the world. Black and brown men disproprotionately are held in these prisons - way out of proportion to the number of crimes being committed by whites and blacks.

Yes, they are anti-American because real Americans don't try to change things by burning down cities, assaulting police officers, trying to poison their food, and killing other people. That's the way you do things in the middle of a jungle, not in the most civilized and powerful country in the world.

www.politifact.com

A track record you say, can you name specific lies?

Sure.

She claimed that there is no scientific evidence to support social distancing as a means of inhibiting virus transmission.

She claimed that the 90% public support for background checks was debunked. Polls say otherwise.

She stated that Sotomayor “must choose between her "immigrant family background" and the Constitution. Her family is from Puerto Rico...US citizens.

The 90% support for background checks is a lie. The poll questions asked of the people responding to the poll are intentionally made to lie to the people....

Here is one of the surveys, I don’t see anything deceptive in the questions.

https://cdn.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/17054452/PPP-GunOwnersPollResults-11.17.15.pdf

they do not explain what Background Checks actually mean...so the people aren't responding to Background Checks, they are simply responding to words that sound good......

Background checks are pretty self explanatory. They are done for jobs, for loans, etc.

When you go on to explain exactly what people like you mean by Background Checks you will not get 90% support for the....which is the whole point in lying about them through poll questions.

And what EXACTLY do “people like me” mean by background checks?

and more....you see........we know who you are...we know what you want.....we know that you will lie and use bait and switch to fool uninformed Americans to give you the power to ban and confiscate guns...

The Costs and Consequences of Gun Control

Although universal background checks may sound appealing, the private sale of guns between strangers is a small percentage of overall gun sales. Worse, the background check bills are written so broadly that they would turn most gun owners into criminals for innocent acts — such as letting one’s sister borrow a gun for an afternoon of target shooting.
----

Gun-control advocates often claim that 40 percent of annual firearms sales take place today without background checks. The Washington Post “fact-checker” has debunked that claim, giving it “Three Pinocchios.”14

The Post noted that the survey data used for the study on which the 40 percent claim is based are more than two decades old, which means they were collected prior to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System becoming operational in 1998.
The survey only polled 251 people, and, upon asking whether their gun transfer involved a federally licensed dealer — that is, a federal firearms licensee (FFL) — gave respondents the choice of saying “probably” or “probably not” in addition to “yes” and “no.”

---

But “acquisitions” is a much broader category than “purchases,” which is the term used by advocates for gun control. Gifts and inheritances between family members or among close friends are acquisitions, but not purchases. When the Post asked researchers to correct for that distinction, the percentage of firearms purchased without a background check fell to between 14 and 22 percent. The Post subsequently conducted its own survey of Maryland residents, and found that 21 percent of respondents reported not having gone through a background check to purchase a firearm in the previous decade.

-----

As a 2013 National Institute of Justice memo from Greg Ridgeway, acting director of the National Institute of Justice, acknowledged, a system requiring background checks for gun sales by non-FFLs is utterly unenforceable without a system of universal gun registration.16

For FFLs, enforcement of recordkeeping is routine. They are required to keep records of every gun which enters or leaves their inventory.17 As regulated businesses, the vast majority of them will comply with whatever procedures are required for gun sales. Even the small minority of FFLs who might wish to evade the law have little practical opportunity to do so.

In contrast, if a rancher sells his own gun to a neighbor, there is no practical way to force the rancher and the neighbor to drive an hour into town, and then attempt to find a FFL who will run a background check for them, even though they are not customers of the FFL. Once the rancher has sold the gun to the neighbor, there is no practical way to prove that the neighbor acquired the gun after the date when the private sales background check came into effect. As the National Institute of Justice recognized, the only way to enforce the background-check law would be to require the retroactive registration of all currently owned firearms in the United States. Such a policy did not work in Canada, and anyone who thinks that Americans would be more willing to register their guns than Canadians is badly mistaken.20

I am not going to waste time chasing down your walls of assorted cut’n’paste. use your own words why don’t you? You have no clue on what I support if all you can do is throw in your pre-organized cut’n’paste spam.

Yes...typical left winger....I explain it without links...and you accuse me of lying....I use links, and you say it's just cut n Paste.....you doofus. Everything people need to know about background checks and the anti-gun bait and switch is in those links...so you need to ignore them.......

No. I am just saying your walls of cut’n’paste don’t really highlight your points...because you are not making them. For example, why don’t you SAY universal background checks are largely uninforceable and then support it, rather than throwing up a mish mash of cut’n’paste, leaving the reader to sort through it and figure out what your point is.

Frankly, even with that, people support background checks, it is up to Congress to create an appropriate well written bill, and even with the Pew poll you referenced, the MAJORITY of respondents were disappointed/angry it did not pass.

The 90% claim has not been debunked.

It is a meaningless number.....it is based on a lie. I showed you what you guys plan on doing...

Your desire for background checks has nothing to do with stopping criminals from getting guns, since you know they don't stop criminals from getting guns.

You want background checks as a tool to intimidate and threaten normal gun owners with felonies if they fail to properly jump through your legal hoops.......and your main goal is to get a gun registration up and running for when you get the power to confiscate guns.

Tell that to the people taking the polls and show them my links...then ask the question.....

Wrong. And this reveals the inherent dishonesty in your argument.

That dishonesty is this: the goal YOU set is if it doesn’t work 100%, it doesn’t work.

But it does not have to stop ALL criminals from getting guns. It only has to to reduce it. Make harder for them.

Let me give you another example: laws that increase penalties for crimes committed with guns. Does it stop criminals? No. Does that mean we shouldn’t bother?

We are in danger of ignoring that in a knee jerk haste for quick fixes that demonize police as opposed to a systemic review.

I don’t know but it starts by dismantling segregation once and for all. And that starts with the dismantling the police state that maintains it.

It also starts rejecting the racist lies of right wing hate media. Billionaires have a vested interest in keeping poor blacks and poor whites at one another’s throats.

If poor whites and poor blacks got together, they’d be a force to ensure a fair deal for everyone. As long as you’re at each other’s throats and blaming one another, the shareholder class gets richer while doing nothing. Just like the plantation owners.

Your post makes absolutely no sense. We haven't had segregation in this country for decades. People decide to live in places with people of their own kind freely. Nobody is forcing them to or not to live with anybody else.

Poor people are not at each others throats. Poor people are just poor people, and wealthy people have nothing to do with that. Nobody has to be poor in this country, it's a choice one makes.

THE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR CHANGE TWICE AND NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPS RE-ARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC WHILE THE SHIP IS STILL SINKING.

CHAZ is a symptom of not stopping a problem before it metastasizes. When the anti-Americans started trouble in Minneapolis, they should have summoned the national guard asking for twice as many troops as protesters, gassing them, beating them when necessary, and sending them all home, to the hospital, or to jail.

They're not the anti-Americans Ray. The Republican Party are NOT the good guys here. They're they originators and operators of the police state.

Yes, they are anti-American because real Americans don't try to change things by burning down cities, assaulting police officers, trying to poison their food, and killing other people. That's the way you do things in the middle of a jungle, not in the most civilized and powerful country in the world.

Here we have a non-violent way of addressing matters. These rioters should move out of the country to one that is lawless like they are.

Most of them aren’t. They are protesting peacefully. Are you still going to insist they are not real Americans? She is right. What is happening now IS a symptom of a real problem that has gone ignored for too long. We are in danger of ignoring that in a knee jerk haste for quick fixes that demonize police as opposed to a systemic review.

All deaths at the hands of police are intensely investigated and have been for many years now. If anything was wrong, it goes to the prosecutor. He or she decides whether to charge an officer, or allow it to be decided by a grand jury--a jury of the citizens.

Because of these animals, we are doing things the un-American way. We are having officers jailed before any investigation even starts. These Democrat Mayors don't take any action against the mob and it only gets worse. Even if arrested, they let them out the next day to riot even more.

Nothing has been ignored, it's just that some neanderthals don't like living in a civilized society. They demand mob rule.

Institutional racism is present in the Republican Party. They have lost the black vote, female vote, Latino vote, Asian vote and every other group you can think of.

You have been duped. "Institutional Racism" is capitalism. They want to destroy the free market. They are communists.

This is way bigger than the two idiot parties constantly at war with each other.

This is an American existential crisis, and we need to rid the world of this threat forever. We MUST crack a few eggs to do so.

.

Capitalism is destroying this country. Big businesses are gaining outsized influence to the detriment of the ordinary people in this country. We need swee4ping anti-trust laws in this country.

He's abdicated his responsibility.

Incorrect ...
The city mayor's have a police force and the governor's have their state national guard. They need to step up and use them to protect their citizens from mobs of rioters and looters.

The mayor doesn't see a need to do any of the things you suggest, and it's her city, not yours. The citizens have told her it's time for the police to shape up and change the way they're doing things, and unlike you and Donald Trump, the mayor is listening to her citizens and THEIR concerns, not denying there is a problem.

She has denied it being a problem since they took it over, you twit.....

You are anti-America because Americans do not support using tear gas and the military against peaceful protestors. Real Americans do not hate every group that you can think of. You ignore the fact that Trump supoports lawlessness when it comes to his allies. They are above the law.
