Guthrie’s is a piece of deplorable trash

Well, you have to wonder…when you find out that Phillips has done the very same thing three prior times at Colleges and Universities, claiming he was a Viet Nam Vet…nope….and that he ‘felt harassed and threatened’ for singing a ‘peace chant’. He tried to shake down the other institutions….for money for his ‘suffering’. Don’t know if that worked….must have for him to continue! Come to find out he was drummed out of the Army for his three AWOL adventures. They tried to train him as a mechanic, but he flunked out….even went awol on his classes.

This was the worst example of social media and how it can ruin democracy rather than enhance it. And the moron who held the line even after discovering the facts should have their Facebook and other social sites withdrawn. I hope the kid and his family are successful with any suit they file. They should every “news” outlet they can. Something else to keep in mind is that rioting as the result of prompting by something on social media is not democracy, it is just rioting if there is no legitimate reason. If a reporter asks you why are engaged in the riot and you can’t give them an answer you would be nothing but a common criminal, not a protester.

I’m looking forward to seeing MAGA hat-wearing Trump fans turn out this Saturday by the millions in spontaneous rallies in all of America’s 100 largest cities (and a whole lot of small towns in flyover country too) in order to show support for the Covington KY Catholic Christian boys and their manly yet nonviolent resistance to Leftist kook intimidation.

They can’t all be #LazyTrumpists who hide behind Catholic schoolboys, can they?

Phillips did more than just walk up to the boy. Before he was close, he was holding the drum lower, about elbow height—certainly below shoulder height. But when he came face to face with Sandman HE RAISED THE DRUM up above his shoulder so that it was right in the boys face. Someone please tell me how that’s not aggravated provocation!

Bow down before the one you serve…

Diversity (e,g, denial of individual dignity) is a clear and progressive condition.

L. L. Wood “often (seeks) eye-popping damages for those he believes have been libeled or slandered in the press,” according to a 2011 Washington Post article about his defense of Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

I hope Wood seeks $1 million $$ damage from each and every twitter re-tweeter who slandered Nick Sandmann.

This terrible hatcrime / facecrime, like other Dem PC-Klan type mob assault, will only stop with more lawfare. And losses in court.
Unlike the win that NYT got after libeling Palin.

Whatever happened to that sex-harassment against Cain? Nothing, as far as I remember.

Maybe PC-Klan can become a name for the PC folk who support mob violence & digital violence against Reps.

I have to admire Sandmann for standing his ground so calmly. I think he showed enormous restraint and poise.

As for Guthrie’s question about ‘wearing the MAGA hat being provocation’ (paraphrase, as I don’t recall the exact quote), is this any different from the old saw about a rape victim wearing a skirt that was too short? Guthrie was totally out of bounds, and should be called out for the question.

Bottom line, though, is Trump hatred. Can’t ignore that.
