Calling out the thugs in Israeli government and AIPAC isn’t anti-Semitism in the first place.

Yeah, the constant dog whistling about George Soros – how dare we understand that to be anti-Semitic? Why the very idea!

The same media outlets that are publishing the new police details about the investigation into Smollett?

Whataboutism. That’s all you have and it is sooo pathetic because you’re examples aren’t even on par.

Literally calling for the KKK to lynch people.

Fine, the eminent Goodloe Sutton can be first in line for the noose.

That little white house he’s publishing out of looks like a tinderbox to me.

Is that foil in the left window?

That is an arsenal…

A WALL would stop terrorists like this…

For the fourth year in a row, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks hate groups, reports that hate and domestic extremism are rising in an unabated trend. The center found a 30 percent increase in U.S. hate groups over the past four years and a 7 percent increase in hate groups in 2018 alone, according to the center’s annual “Year in Hate and Extremism” report. The group designated 1,020 organizations as hate groups in 2018, a high of at least 20 years.

The watchdog group blames President Trump, his administration, right-wing media outlets and the ease of spreading hate on social media platforms for the alarming increase. The growth, it says, is largely driven by “hysteria over losing a white-majority nation to demographic change.”

“The numbers tell a striking story — that this president is not simply a polarizing figure but a radicalizing one,” Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, said in a statement. “Rather than trying to tamp down hate, as presidents of both parties have done, President Trump elevates it — with both his rhetoric and his policies. In doing so, he’s given people across America the go-ahead to to act on their worst instincts.”

Well, he’s still innocent until proven guilty legally, but it’s sounding more and more like this really was all a crazy hoax.

A report on CNN says that the cops think he did it to try and get a higher salary.

It’s horrible when this type of stuff is done in a misguided attempt to advance a cause. It’s even worse if he did it for personal gain.

He’s going to set back the cause of legitimate victims and arm the extreme right. All that as a salary negotiation tactic? If true, he should go away for years and years.

4693

This is what I’m honestly most upset about right here, if the allegations prove to be true.

4694

Yup this. Wonder what would have happened if they bought his story and apprehended a couple of suspects, would be have been happy to send some innocent people away knowing full well they didn’t do it? Maybe he didn’t think that far ahead.

We have one story where a guy planned to mass murder as many people as humanly possible with as many weapons as possible, and a white supremacist part of a hate group, and we have another where one black man, an asshole, screwed himself over and fed lies to the public for a role on TV and somehow… both of these are getting similar coverage.

No. If this sets back legit complaints, it’s because the public wants it set back. Just like every other race on the planet, minorities have selfish and bad members too. If he did this, his career is over, he’ll probably serve time, end of story. We have a parent almost every year concoct fake reasons why their children disappear, get the public riled up to find them, and then they wind up in jailing for killing them. Guess what, we still look for children when someone says they’e missing.

Certain (ahem) occasional posters here will inevitably pop in to claim that what this idiot Smollett appears to have done is just as bad as what this wacko Coast Guard dude was apparently planning, because “all sides.”
