Discussion: House GOP Campaign Chair Disavows Steve King: 'We Must Stand Up Against White Supremacy'

OT, but HOLY. FUCKING. CRAP. Someone has discovered the ad absurdum pinnacle of bothsiderism…and of course he’s with the NYT. There is literally nowhere to go from there on the bothsiderism curve but downwards. LITERALLY. I challenge anyone to top it.

Such a great example of someone arriving at a statement that he thinks is the product of brilliantly thinking outside the box when it is really nothing but “flip-it-all-backwards” word play generating complete fucking idiocy.

But did Congressman Stivers clear this with Chairman Trump?

OT though it still falls under the general category of standing up to white supremacy. Look at what is in the works from the GOP (they are trying to get women to make false accusations of sexual harassment against Mueller). We must be prepared.

And this clown gets paid a lot of money for these dollops of derp. The NY Times is a “liberal” news outlet like Fox News is “fair and balanced”.

Hang on, have you run this by your neoNazi European pals yet?

O my god the Bobo strikes again. How stupid is David Brooks? That’s a rhetorical question, the measurement can’t be made - we have nothing that can encompass this much stupid.

Here is his statement:

Congressman Steve King’s recent comments, actions, and retweets are completely inappropriate. We must stand up against white supremacy and hate in all forms, and I strongly condemn this behavior.

I’d have enquoted “white supremacy” because it is an embarrassing lie, nothing more.

I’d also have used something stronger that “inappropriate.”

On the other hand, as @nikta observed, a first step, no matter how tentative, is better than no step at all.

They must be absolutely terrified by their internal polling… (teeheehee…)

Actually, I think Cantor’s work with infinite sets, which demonstrates that there are multiple levels of infinity, each level more infinite than the level before, might just help us out here…

I have met Rep Stivers several times, I don’t believe he is a White Supremacist or supports that position.

But he is a snob.

That is what all of this just screams - we know we’re going down and we’re going down as ugly as possible. It is exactly what I expected from them once they knew it was over.

  • o my god, I love that, just for itself.

Nice to see the scolding, but did he cut King off financially? The end of the article implies that but it doesn’t state it.

If “nytdavidbrooks” were to vanish in the very cloud of noxious fog that he is, we might have a slightly better electorate.

Steve King need to resign and to forfeit his tax payer funded retirement pension and health benefits. NO RACISTS means zero tolerance!

Steve King…resign and go back to whatever country you came from…you are unAmerican!
