Random Politics & Religion #34

The truth is always the opposite of what the media tells you. I sent a troll about “vigilante death squads” as a private response to a few hostile journalists who were asking me for comment, as a way of saying, “*** off.” They then published it! Amazed they were pretending to take it as a “threat,” I reposted their stories here to mock them — and make it clear that I wasn’t serious. Headlines soon appeared claiming that I was “inciting” people to murder journalists. This is false. The only people whipping up hysteria about killing reporters this week were Will Sommer at the Daily Beast and Davis Richardson at the New York Observer. If there turns out to be any dimension to this crime related to my private, misreported remarks, the responsibility for that lies wholly with the Beast and the Observer for drumming up fake hysteria, and with the verified liberals who pretended they thought I was serious. It is a fact that the Open Society Foundation and other wealthy left-wing organizations have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe millions!) disrupting my talks, beating up my audiences and spreading rumors about me. I wouldn’t be surprised if this shooter — just like the last one at YouTube — is another demented left-winger. Let’s hope it’s another transgender shooter, too, so the casualties are minimal. The Left celebrated the shooting of Scalise and regularly incites violence against Trump supporters. They are delighted by the domestic terrorism of Antifa. They cheer on Mad Maxine when she threatens Trump staff going about their business in public. I made a private, offhand troll to two hostile reporters, who breathlessly publicized it and like vermin their fellow journalists swarmed to remind the world how much they hate Milo. If the Left was truly horrified by violence against journalists, they would have shown it in the aftermath of Charlie Hebdo. They didn’t. Scum.

Nope, not reading that

I'm not reading it

Milo doesn't get to hide behind the *** defense of "private texts" or "troll messages."

It seems, at least in the mind of the shooter, Trump did have something to do with it.

Sure kid.

The White House is scrambling to figure out how a prank call from a comedian who pretended to be Sen. Robert Menendez managed to get a return phone call from the president, a person inside the White House said Friday.

The person inside the White House said the call was routed to the president by the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner* and that it was not routed through the office of legislative affairs, which had no record of Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, trying to connect with the president.

And while legislative affairs got notified of the call and subsequently tried to kill it after learning from Menendez’s chief of staff that the senator was not trying to reach Trump, the call was still put through, the person said.

A recording of what appears to be the president’s voice talking to who he seemingly believes to be Menendez can be heard on the podcast of John Melendez, also known as Stuttering John, a regular guest on shock jock Howard Stern’s radio show....

agreed. calls to arm for petty ***shouldn't be joked about with how stupid and well-armed this country is.

*Could this be the reason why?

Chanti, I'm curious, on a scale of 1-10 how does this rate as a "smoking gun"?

As far as Thursday's mass murder, Trump, and Milo are all concerned:

Under the imminent lawless action test, speech is not protected by the First Amendment if the speaker intends to incite a violation of the law that is both imminent and likely.

Under that test, both Milo and Trump, who have both been calling for violence against members of the press for just doing their jobs, are both guilty of felony incitement of violence.

You know it is a crazy day when CJ the same CJ that posts incoherent gibberish all the sudden is a legal/first amendment expert.

I've never liked Milo on account of him being a colossal ***. His defense of pedophilia was perhaps the ultimate Freudian slip that rightly shoved him back out onto the peripheries....

He's had a handful of points to convey but all he does is provoke people rather than actually engage in debate. He doesn't try to shift viewpoints through debate, instead opting to just piss people off. This is why I've liked people like Ben Shapiro and especially Jordan Peterson as I disagree with some of their views but I know they could articulate a coherent defense and maybe even change my mind.
