Yeah that's the frustrating thing. The reality is there are plenty of racist, bigoted people on both sides of the aisle. Always have been, always will be in a country this large. Of course there have been crimes committed before on the grounds of different demographics. When they occur, they should be excoriated by decent folk of every stripe.Prosperdick said:You would think they would learn and Whoopi even said something to that effect on the View (which I don't watch but saw the clip) where she said about Covington "why do we keep falling for these hoaxes" and Behar quipped "because we want to get Trump" to the audience's delight. Sickening...and they STILL don't learn.tbirdspur2010 said:
Exactly. No one was saying withholding judgment was a problem. It was the assertion that it was "odd" that folks would call this obvious hoax for what it was when we'd literally just seen the media/leftists get out over their skis with the Covington story.
The thing about Covington is it would take an intern less than 5 minutes to fact check the story, and s/he could have discovered Nathan Phillip's past history, other video clips which showed what really occurred, and the Black Israelites and their vicious taunts of the kids. Of course the story was just TOO good and leftist media can't help themselves.
Maybe just maybe, the media will perform a little more due diligence....ha ha ha, who am I kidding, they didn't learn a thing and never will.
The problem has always been the narrative. Leftists and the media have somehow convinced themselves that they've basically purged racism, sexism, homophobia, religious persecution, etc., from their ranks. Despite all evidence to the contrary. That's why tales like Jussie's ring so readily true to them when they first come out.
Hopefully this sham blowing up so spectacularly in Jussie's face gives others of his ilk true pause (instead of, say, just doing a better job of covering their tracks next time lol).
