ESPN has withdrawn one of its sportscasters from calling a University of Virginia football game for the sole reason that he bears the evil name of Robert Lee. Not Robert E Lee, the Civil War evil general’s name, just Robert Lee. That’s too close to evil for the PC gang.
Instead Lee (if I might be permitted to use that name) was reassigned to “a different game” where he’ll be more out of sight.
ESPN notes that assignments are switched all the time.
Including for racist reasons.
…the Antifa-esque gangs of the American Left are Antifeminists, also.
The phrase “Tear it Down” was hastily sprayed in black paint across the base of the golden Joan of Arc statue on Decatur Street in the [New Orleans] French Quarter sometime earlier this week [of 1 May].
Who knew the Left’s hate groups were so progressively retrograde?
A petition to label the anti-Trump group “Antifa” a terrorist organization sped past the requirement of 100,000 signatures needed to get a response from the White House.
The petition says Antifa’s “violent actions in multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers throughout the United States” earns it the terrorist designation.
Assaults from Evergreen College to Charlottesville, using terrorist tactics and purposes, if not the bombs and mass shootings of more classical terrorist gangs.
The petition can be seen, and signed, here.
Meanwhile, ex-Vermont Governor and Democratic Presidential candidate Howard Dean (D) is a hate group all to himself.
If you want to vote for a racist in the White House, then you better vote for Republicans[.]
The NLMSM and the Left, and too many virtue signaling Republicans are decrying President Donald Trump for his castigation of both sides for the violence inflicted during the Charlottesville protest riots last weekend. The image below, though, gives the lie to that false crying and that demand to call out only the white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Nazi wannabes for their part in the violence.
Clearly, this flamethrower is being wielded by a “counter-” protester, a man of the Left. Just as clearly, he came prepared to inflict his assault. This terrible violence is what the folks above, and people who should know better, like Stephen Hayes and Juan Williams, insist should be ignored with only the hate groups of the “right” called out. The hatred and bigotry evident in this image can’t possibly be on the same plane as the hatred and the bigotry of the “right’s” hate groups. The Left’s hate groups are special.
This is racism in full throat from the Left, and those claiming to be on the right agreeing with them should be ashamed of themselves.
Crap.
Separately, notice my use of quotes around “right.” I wrote this in an earlier post, and I’ll repeat it here; it wants emphasizing. Hate groups aren’t part of the right or the left, they’re just part of Hate. They’re on only one side, their own.
Charlottesville, VA, Mayor Mike Signer (D):
I’m not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you’re seeing in America today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president.
True enough; that is where last weekend’s sorry events began. The identity politics of the last eight years by the White House of ex-President Barack Obama (D) and by his mentee, Democratic Party White House hopeful Hillary Clinton, and those associated with the two created the conditions that caused the rioting in Charlottesville last Friday and Saturday.
After all, those who disagreed with Obama were unpatriotic, were terrorists, were hostage takers, were racists. Those who weren’t in that White House’s chosen groups were contemptuously dismissed as Bible-clinging, gun-toting residents of flyover country. Those who disagreed with the policies of the Democrats’ favored groups were slandered as irredeemably deplorable racists (repeatedly racist), homophobes, Islamophobes, any _phobe Democrats could think of.
The police were stupid when they weren’t being racist—never mind any of the facts of the situations. The Left gleefully calling Tea Partiers “teabaggers.” Democratic Congressmen, on the Capital Building steps in the aftermath of Obamacare’s passage, falsely claiming racist slurs coming from the protestors that greeted them on those steps.
Signer needs to check his sight picture.
