In other news ...it seems that the big bad chief banging his drum in the boys face is not in facts a Vietnam vet after all... Just a professional attention seeker😱 By "Big Bad Chief", I assume you mean POTUS?

1984 is a decent book, but, christ is it overquoted and over-referenced.
Anyway, I just googled Facecrime to make sure it wasn't actually just made up, and it's not. But it appears that 100 different right-wing outlets have decided to talk about it in the last 24 hours. They really have no originality at all.

That's because facecrime is so utterly apposite to what the left did in this case. It fits beautifully.

Joy Behar: We jumped to conclusions about the Covington Catholic kids because we desperately want Trump out of officeHow did a truthbomb like this end up being casually dropped by, of all people, Joy Behar? "Trump supporters, or white kids generally, are capital-B Bad, therefore it must and can only be that they were in the wrong in a confrontation with a Native American activist. doubling down is a deliberate strategy. If you want to marginalize the Bad People then the original narrative of the confrontation must prevail, whatever the evidence says. Keep pushing it. Hope that the sheer cumulative force behind the assertion carries it to widespread acceptance despite all evidence to the contrary. It works, you know. It’s happened before." Whoopi Goldberg on the media smearing the Covington Catholic boys: "So many people admitted they made snap judgments before all these other facts came in. ... Why is that? Why do we keep making the same mistake?" (Hmmm, because you are a hate-filled, racist sl*t who doesn't care who you have to destroy to get at Trump? And as soon as the next "opportunity" comes along, you will do it all over again?) hotair.com/archives/2019/01/22/joy-behar-jumped-conclusions-covington-catholic-kids-desperately-want-trump-office/ This is really funny! Unintentionally so but still...

its shocking how much the right hate free speech, its almost as if they only want their freedom of speech to be protected, but they themselves to be protected from other speech. Snowflakes the lot of em.

odd you are so amendment on following the 'evidence' on this yet so reluctant when its about climate change, still as you get all your 'evidence' (sic) from far right fringe conspiracy sites its hardly surprising.
Also not strange you missed my main contribution to this as being an opinion piece deconstructing the video and showing it to be much more complex than initially reported. Still that kind of thinking is just too subtle for you I suppose.

Hahaha! Look at the right tangle themselves up in semantics to attack a veteran. Because he was serving, but not serving in Vietnam, apparently it's fine that he got abused by the racist little shits.

Apparently a veteran from the Vietnam War era honouring other veterans at Arlington National Cemetary who tried to break up an argument between racist little MAGA arseholes and a bunch of god-bothering weirdo African Americans is the guy who is deserving of the blame because he wasn't posted to Vietnam.
He should have had fake bone spurs. Then he might have been adored by these fuckers.

Funny to see the far, far left squealing over this. They're definitely triggered. They're like an angry little toddler that's had her toy taken away "but wah mummy, wah! I so want them to be waaycist! Make them be waaycist mummy, waaaaah!".

It's amazing to watch the far, extreme far left doubling down on this. The toddler analogy works again. They've been caught out in lie after lie but they just deny over and over. Fascinating to see adults behave like this.

Snowflakes the lot of em. We already know that in your world pointing out lies is suppression of free speech, and that you support the media lying to the people. Few Rick you're so full of it, you have no legs to stand on when accusing others of supporting lying media when you've posted so much from info wars, Britebart and faux news at al.

Good God, the media on both sides just love stories like this. Rick is right when he says the media (on both sides) distort the story to push politics. We need to start acknowledging that going on.
I'm sure state-sponsored news organizations like the BBC have their drawbacks, but with for-profit organizations, viewership becomes the bottom line and the reporting basically becomes click-bait.

Way of life everywhere. But how to control it? Brexit happened, for example, because the media gullibled half the population. "70 million Turks are about to move into the UK if you don't vote Brexit." "Save £350 million a week by voting Brexit."
No critical faculty, any of them..
