If Social Media Truthfully Cared About Inciting Violence And Spewing Hatred, They Would Cancel Al Sharpton’s Account

The Lid

Their Rationale For Booting Conservatives Is As Full Of Crap As A Porta-Potty On The Last Day Of A State Fair

"In the fallout of the horrible storming of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, Twitter started deleting the accounts of conservatives, followed by other social media, and now other Silicon Valley liberals are trying to kill Parler, a Twitter-like social media which doesn’t censor conservatives. Their excuse for banning the conservatives is the claim they spew hate and incite violence. That claim is as full of crap as a porta-potty on the last day of a state fair.  If they wanted to cleanse their sites of hatred and people who incite violence, they would ban Al Sharpton from their platform.

"For most of his life, Sharpton has been spewing hatred. And at times, he’s incited violence. During the Crown Heights riot, he told people to “kill the Jews.” In Harlem, he incited the firebombing at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, which killed seven innocents. Even in recent years, instead of calming tensions as someone who calls himself a reverend should, he incites hatred and violence.  Despite it all, the liberals love him, and social media such as Twitter are comfortable having him use their platform.

"Sharpton’s hate record didn’t start with making the Eric Garner kill a black/white issue despite the fact the senior cop on the scene was both black and female. Nor did it start when Sharpton took the killing of a kid who tried to grab a policeman’s gun and then menacingly charged the cop in Ferguson, Missouri, into a white/black issue. It didn’t even start with Sharpton promoting the “hands up don’t shoot” fraud to incite more violence, even after it was proven to be a myth.

Kelley Paul Rips Jack Dorsey: Where Were You When Tweeters Encouraged Violence Against My Husband?   "Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is no stranger to political harassment that sometimes escalates to violence.

"He, along with House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (LA) and other House and Senate Republicans and aides, was targeted for assassination by a deranged supporter of failed

"Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders during a baseball practice game in the summer of 2017. There were multiple injuries during the attack. Scalise was hit in the attack and was seriously injured, but thankfully he survived.

"In August 2020, Paul and his wife and author Kelley Paul were attacked by a mob of radical, out of control Black Lives Matter leftists as the couple were leaving the White House.

"It was perhaps all of that and more Kelley Paul had in mind when she proceeded to rip Twitter’s Jack Dorsey a new one over the weekend in a tweet responding to Twitter’s crackdown on Republicans including President Trump who they claim are complicit in trying to incite political violence:"...

The Democrat blacklist of Republicans

We saw during the Obama government shutdown the depths of vindictiveness he and his people have sunk to when they sealed off open-air memorials, even to aged WW2 veterans hoping for one last look at monuments of their history. I see absolute evil in the faces of entertainers, athletes, leaders of this nation (elected or rejected by voters), and ex-presidents. All these have shown their willingness to demolish the wise foundations laid by our ForeFathers and replace it all with whatever will give power to the silliest of the mal-educated.

Liberals want to open the gates to this nation for voters who know nothing of our history and care less; voters who choose bitter, angry bobbysoxers and those who harbor grudges toward all Americans unlike them. To oppose their malevolent rioting is to be called "racist" by them. TD

Trump-hating Lincoln Project announces it's assembling a blacklist

  Monica Showalter

Isn't the victory of Joe Biden enough for them? Not in the least. They're like a monster that just needs to keep feeding and growing, in order to keep the money and contracts rolling in. More about that in a minute.

" Remember the Trump-hating Lincoln Project? That was the big-dollar NeverTrump group that included among its luminaries George Conway, the unhinged Trump-hating husband of the unfortunate Kellyanne Conway. They included many Dubya Bush administration operatives who'd been left out of the Trump administration and wanted revenge. Their loathing of Trump only got greater after that, and they threw their support to Joe Biden, raising $78 million and creating extremely nasty presidential campaign ads to take down Trump. They worked closely with Democrats and took their money, promising to help peel away Republicans to help Joe Biden. When that didn't happen and Trump increased his share of the Republican vote, leftists, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, questioned giving money to the group as a ripoff." . . .

Totalitarian Left Promises Purges And Punishment For All Trump Voters  "If 2020 didn’t already feel enough of a Kafkaesque nightmare, the latest bit of depravity from the “hate has no home here” totalitarian left is a ghoulish scheme announced by three former Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg staffers on Twitter last week called “The Trump Accountability Project.” Aspiring apparatchiks Emily Abrams, Michael Simon, and Hari Sevugan lauded the website whose stated mission is to “never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.” . . .

Updated Jan 11: Sunday Schadenfreude: Vogue mag treats Kamala ["I'm speaking"] Harris with all the seriousness she deserves

Update: Report: Kamala Harris’ Team Rips Vogue Editors for Cover  Photo ..."Independent journalist Yashar Ali first reported the debacle over the cover photo, both of which were taken by 26-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell who famously shot Beyoncé for the magazine’s September 2018 issue."...

Monica Showalter   "When two scorpions in a bottle get into a fight, there's plenty of potential for the whole thing to get funny

"So enter Vogue Magazine, and Kamala Harris, with Kamala played for the fool.

"The solidly pro-Democrat media tool took a cover photoshoot of Harris, and in line with standard collaborative media-political practices, agreed upon a photo for the cover issue, something about Kamala in a powder blue suit.

"But Vogue couldn't help itself. After making its agreement with Harris, it ran instead this cover, with Harris looking like a clown in a suit, complete with junky tennis shoes." . . .. . . 

The Harris camp, as reported by Ali, is naturally, pretty furious. How could Vogue, which is probably the ultimate media toady, do this to Harris, making her look like a rube in stupid tennis shoes, when she only likes to be portrayed in a certain way? .

. . . "Nobody made Harris pose for that picture the way she did, standing there against pink bedsheets, recalling her political origins as Willie Brown's mistress, and wearing her signature dark pantsuit and pearls, along with inappropriate tennis shoes. She's the one who did it, and probably signed the releases, so tough toenails for her. She actually did dress like that in her few appearances on the campaign trail, so it is what she looked like. But she didn't want to be portrayed that way, she thought it made her look unserious, which of course, it did. She wanted to be portrayed as glamorous, an actress, a power-suit woman with a pretty face - as if the very act of posing for Vogue didn't automatically make her a lightweight. Truly powerful people don't waste time on Vogue photoshoots." . . .

Comma did not escape the notice of Babylon Bee parody:

Kamala Harris Recalls How As A Little Girl She Helped Slaves Escape On The Undewgwound Wailwoad  "U.S.—Kamala Harris chuckles as she tells the story. Not the chuckle of an insincere politician making up a story to appeal to her base, but the chuckle of a warm, loving woman. The kind of chuckle you would chuckle while hanging out with your family or locking up non-violent drug offenders for decades. 

"She recalled in her interview with The Babylon Bee how as a little girl she helped slaves escape to the North on the "undewgwound railroad." (Did we mention how warm and sincere she was? It was like talking to your best bud).

" 'My parents were pushing me in a stroller," she says, cackling -- no, chuckling -- "and I must have gotten loose somehow." (At the time, there weren't any safety regulations on strollers, so this is not her parents' fault, just to be clear). "Anyway, I wandered away down to the Deep South and began helping slaves get to the free states. When my parents found me years later, they were understandably upset. They said, 'Kamala! What are you doing?!'"

"She chuckled again.

""I replied, 'I'm hewping swaves escape on da undewground wailwoad, mommy!'" Harris then revealed that one of the slaves she helped escape grew up to be none other than Albert Einstein.

"Harris, with her likable laugh and authentic demeanor, went on to tell the story of how she helped "Abwaham Winkon" draft the "Emancipation Pwocwamation" and how she refused to give up her seat on a bus, launching the "Civil wights" movement."

28 Times Media And Democrats Excused Or Endorsed Violence Committed By Left-Wing Activists

The Federalist

After excusing and ignoring riots from leftists all year, Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.

"Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.

"On Wednesday, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. It was an astonishing display of anarchic protest that delayed congressional certification of the Electoral College vote formally handing former Vice President Joe Biden the keys to the White House.

"The scenes from the dark day of disaster demonstrations illustrated a deteriorating country, repulsed millions, and traumatized a nation still recovering from the death, despair, and disruption that came to define the dystopian months of 2020. Above all, what happened Wednesday served as a grim reminder that the institutional stress test of 2020 has followed us into 2021.

"A trip down memory lane chronicling the left’s reaction to last year’s eruption of unrest claiming the lives of at least 30 people not only exposes the hypocrisy suffusing Democrats’ condemnation of political violence, but also illustrates a sobering reality that there’s plenty of blame to go around for the situation in which the United States now finds itself.

"2. Chris Cuomo: Who Said Protests Were Supposed To Be Peaceful?

"CNN’s Chris Cuomo showcased his ignorance of the First Amendment in June when dismissing the idea that militant protests sweeping the nation in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death were illegal.

“Please, show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful,” Cuomo demanded.  

"Here’s the text from the First Amendment, emphasis added:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Tucker Carlson: Who will stand up for everyday Trump voters facing retribution from the left?

Tucker Carlson

The Republican Party must look after its voters, not its leaders

. . . "We should be very concerned about all of this right now. Wednesday's riot is already being used as a pretext for an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties. Just in the last several hours, we have heard people in positions of power demand that those who support Donald Trump should no longer be allowed to publish books or use the Internet or fly on airplanes. Driving cars, holding jobs and staying in hotels will certainly be next and we're barely exaggerating. 

"To justify these mind-bending, terrifyingly un-American demands, they are, as usual, relying on lies and hysteria. What happened Wednesday wasn't simply a political protest getting out of hand after the president recklessly encouraged it (Which is, you know, what actually happened). Instead, they're calling it domestic terrorism and, needless to say, White supremacy. 

"Why are they doing that? Simple. They know that if they keep saying it, history will record it as true. They understand the power of language, and that's why they try to control it. They know that words have consequences. This is scary, and the party that should be stepping in to stop it, to push back, to tell the truth in the face of lies and to protect its voters from this deception and the destruction that inevitably comes next, does nothing. Often, in fact, they join in."
