    While the new Yorker pulled the plug on Bannon, the Economist sticks to its interview, at least for now.

    If Germany did not invade Poland the debate would perhaps not happened.

    Realistically probably just postponed.

    But the tweet would imply that if the Nazi's had win the war, they would have won the debate. Fvck that, they would have still been wrong even in triumph.

    To paraphrase the Onion classic, why do all these Klanners and neo-Nazis keep joining my movement?

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/...ed-racist-articles-on-richard-spencer-website

    "A contributor to the Daily Caller has cut ties with the publication after The Atlantic learned that he published racist articles under a pseudonym on a website founded by the well-known white nationalist Richard Spencer. But Scott Greer isn’t sorry for his exposed racism."

    I just regret the milquetoast description of Duke University graduate Richard Spencer.

    Also...is Tucker Carlson still associated with the Daily Caller?
    Thanks!!

    Quoth the racist:

    I do not apologize for honestly stating what I believed to be correct at the time.​


    Then . . . why were you writing under an assumed name?



    Asks the guy posting under an assumed name.

    Is the fat guy American? Is he wearing a MAGA hat? I mean, I see potential but not exactly a lot of winning!!!

    But there’s still a lot of first amendment going around here:

    Well said, sir.

    Yes, "musicians" have free speech to produce crappy songs and boring videos.

    What a way to really add to the conversation. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

    Go back to posting your shitty videos on the Chicago Fire boards.

    Dont try to tell me you could get away with this if you pulled it on interstate 94 to Milwaukee.

    I know you dont like getting pointed out the truth -especially if it happens twice within the same week- but thats not going to happen without ending up in jail

    Okay, sparky.

    I-94 is a much busier highway. Anybody walking on it would be subject to arrest. Not a free speech issue.

    I have seen much better (or worse) "activity" on O'Plaine Rd or Aptikistic or any other arterial road between Chicago and Milwaukee.

    Thanks for the input, but I am done with you. You are not worth the effort anymore.

    Your assumptions about the world (and Americans) are as narrow minded, bigoted and parochial as most people's.

    As I said previously, that is sad since you occasionally make rational points.

    Have a lovely rest of your weekend, and enjoy your false sense of superiority for the rest of the weekend.

    The link doesn’t say what he actually said, other than the “river to the sea” reference, but anything about Israel has become such a third rail that a guy who claims his speech was only about advocating for Palestinian rights in Israel can lose his job over it is crazy. Israel should not be immune to criticism,even if some think it’s “unfair.” Frankly, a lot of the crap that Israel has been doing over the past 30 years wouldn’t be tolerated if it was someone else.
