Guns, race, religion, terror, wingnut thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Fox headline: "North Carolina mom begins serving jail sentence for baptizing daughter"

From the article: "...Stocks was being punished, not for baptizing the girl, but for ignoring a judge."
"jail sentence" = 7 days for criminal contempt. :roll:

Saw that tease during a ten second flip to fox this morning, googled the real story during the first commercial, but didn't have the guts to stick around for the fair and balanced version.

How Tech Supports Hate

Email:
Here are some of our findings:

PayPal continues to serve as a payment platform for the most hate groups. This is based on our analysis of websites, though hate groups that don't have websites may also be using PayPal or other payment processors for offline fundraising.

GoDaddy hosts the most hate group websites, including those of ACT for America, Center for Security Policy, and League of the South.

Google, Facebook and Twitter continue to provide ad tech services — or data services such as advertising, tracking, loading or collecting — to many hate groups.

Twenty-three hate group websites are protected by CloudFlare.

Court Just Found Black Victim Of White Supremacist Assault Not Guilty Of... Assault
DeAndre Harris was defending himself, a court ruled.


Anti-racist protester DeAndre Harris, who was brutally beaten by a group of white supremacists, had the assault charges filed against him dropped after a judge said on Friday the 20-year-old black man was defending himself.

On Aug. 12, a violent white nationalist rally took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one person dead at the hands of an alleged white supremacist. Counterprotesters, including Harris, clashed with the white extremists during the “Unite the Right” event. Photos and video taken the day of the rally show a group of white men attacking Harris in the Market Street Parking Garage....

Intercept journalist Shaun King, along with other activists online, tracked down many of Harris’ alleged attackers that day. While Crews does not face any charges, Jacob Scott, Daniel Borden, Alex Michael Ramos and Tyler Watkins Davis were all identified as taking part in Harris’ assault. Their trials, with the exception of Davis, will take place in April, the Washington Post reports.

Austin bombing suspect blows himself up as SWAT moves in

A home schooled, college dropout, homophobic, pro-sexual assault, unemployed, homicidal, cowardly, white Texas man - sure sounds like he would have been a Dolt .45 supporter.

Splinter: Breitbart Is Crashing and Burning
Citing numbers from comScore, Jason Schwartz writes that Breitbart.com’s audience has steadily shrunk from 15 million unique visitors in October to 7.8 million in February. Totals from the first two months of 2018 represent a roughly 50 percent drop from the same periods last year.
That's going to hurt revenue.

Speaking of which: If I were ever to troll an alt-right forum, I wouldn't attack their politics. Their "alternative facts" would always trump reality. It would only enforce the us-vs.-the-world paranoia they enjoy.

Instead I'd post about the virtues of ad blockers. How to enable them, and how much better and stable the site is without ads. I'd mention some very real stories of malware served through ad networks used by mainstream commercial sites.

Probably has more to do with decreased audience after the election than a drop in the racist population.

Also, to some extent people were forced to choose sides between Bannon and POSPOTUS.

Holocaust Denier Set for Republican Nomination in Congressional Race in Illinois

He’s a Holocaust denier, he’s a white supremacist, and he’s set to get the Republican nomination for a major congressional seat in Illinois.

Arthur Jones, a Prairie State anti-Semite who has been unsuccessfully run for office for decades, is poised to get closer than ever to office this year after emerging as the only GOP candidate for a congressional spot representing parts of Chicago and its suburbs....
:lol:

The GOP literally could have persuaded any random Repug to stand and s/he would have won the primary and saved the GOP a ton of embarrassment.

I think the IL GOP has disavowed the guy, but he still flies the big "R" flag. Sorta like the Christians and who's "real" and who isn't. If you say you are, you are. And the Repugs are stuck with him.
20,000 Republicans just voted for an actual Nazi
Illinois Republicans nominated Arthur Jones for a U.S. House seat


I for one appreciate finally seeing a Repug that's honest about his bigotry, one that got over 20K votes from other Repugs.

The GOP has always opposed anyone associated with the Blues, so it's no surprise that they disagree with the Blues Brothers about Illinois Nazis.

His family and friends that "keep saying he was normal", which tells us more about them than it does about him.

Speaking of typical:
Multiple reports of domestic abuse haunt the alt-right amid widespread fracturing

Triangulating Matthew Heimbach’s role in the white nationalist movement has always been a complicated affair. The League of the South, the Aryan Terror Brigade, the Hammerskins and other neo-Nazi groups. He got into bed with all of them.

Then he got into bed with his partner’s wife.

Heimbach was arrested last week in southern Indiana and charged with battery after Matthew Parrott, his partner in starting the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP), discovered Heimbach was having an affair with his wife. Police in Paoli, Indiana, said Heimbach attacked his wife and Parrott after the two confronted him about an affair with Parrott’s wife. (Heimbach is married to Parrott’s step-daughter. The familial entanglements of the affair are sordid when unpacked.) ...
