Why the Republicans shouldn't use new media

A slightly different take:

We really do let ourselves down every time this happens.

 

i don't think it matters much because of significant early voting. The rhetoric is really stupid. What the hell is "liberal reporter". Even GOP spox were trolling this.

 

II had to see who this Gianforte is........ So I asked Wiki.

My kind of guy.

Gianforte supports clean coal technology,[4] and opposes abortion,[5]Planned Parenthood,[6] and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, while supporting the American Health Care Act.[7] He also opposes sanctuary cities,[8] same-sex marriage[5] thelegalization of marijuana,[9] andminimum wage increases.[10] He has shown support for president Donald Trump, including his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.[11][12] The couple maintains relationships with various conservative and extremist Christian groups including Focus on the Family and the young-earth creationistGlendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum.[13][14]

 

Why are half the characters Khal Drogo after he dies?

 

I don't think he's from Montana. I think he is either from Washington or California.

 

Apparently the assault it is sparking liberul's artistic creativity:

A candidate out in Montana
Beneath the Republican banner
Appearing to snap
Assaulted a chap
Then lied in an obvious manner.

Still have dial-up in much of Montana. So they're banking on the news not hitting till Saturday.

 

Well if he loses there's always a career on the local wrasslin circuit:

He hails from Big Sky Country...coming in with a sterling 1 and 0 record against a formidable journalist armed with a tape recorder...He's the ACA Annihilator...the Tax Crushing Cretin..the Home Schoolin' Hooligan......ladies and gentle ranchers...let's give it up for Greg Gianforte!!!

 

Rick Wilson has a great tweetstorm on this that encapsulates the GOP Trump party.Even though Gienforte assaulted the reporter, POTUS has labeled the press, "emeny of the nation". That is our Commander in Chief declaring a specific group an enemy of the state, to the American public. This certainly won't decrease this type of activity in the near future.

1/ This Gianforte assault story is one of those moments where the cultural collapse of the GOP into the Trump Troll Party is captured

Greg Gianforte tried to put a man in the hospital

His opponent Rob Quist wants to fight to make sure all people are covered in the hospital

Agitators who write for foreign newspapers aligned with the Frankfurt School agenda of destroying freedom don't deserve American health care.
Let Soros pay for his chopper to Canada.

 

Aaaaand Gianforte wins anyway.

 

Of course he did. I have a feeling a lot of Montanans vote by mail. And they probably liked that some one "took care of" a librul reporter. Fake news.

 

By his accent I have him pegged as NJ, Westchester or LI. I guess that's pretty foreign to Montanans.

 

Called it.

Next up: The Pope will attend mass on Sunday. Bank on it.

 

Meh...even a severely deranged clock is right at least once a day!

 

Ah classy!!!

I think that will be difficult to upstage..... Oh wait....

Everyone has the right to personal reflections. However, inside a former gas chamber, there should be mournful silence. It's not a stage. https://t.co/AN5aA1bYEU

882209989913444352 is not a valid tweet id

 

The right doesn't seem to understand this Holocaust thing. When the wealthy are criticized for being selfish and higher taxes are proposed, that is not a valid analogy for what the Jews faced. When an entertainer is criticized for espousing conservative views, that is not a valid analogy for what the Jews faced. When U.S. citizens on rare occasion face violence from a foreigner who got past border control, that is not a valid analogy for what the Jews faced.

I'm not sure whether these people do not understand the history, or choose to ignore it.

 

I read it as there being an actual Auschwitz, Louisiana.

Regardless - what's wrong with our Wingnut pols? Everything you do is not some big life lesson to broadcast.

 

That video is still up on youtube. Thumb Down is leading Thumb Up by a tenfold count. Though alas, many thumb-downers are holocaust deniers attacking him for sucking up to Jews, who murdered 20 million white Christians in the Soviet Union.
