also notable on the list is Alex Jones…that they want to legitimize his insane rantings is telling to say the least.

Woods sued a Twitter dude, because the dude called him a ‘cocaine addict’.

Though the rando died, I’m still trying to find out if Woods tried to sue the estate.

Because, in addition to being an angry drunk, Ingrahack is a white supremacist.

Well it does set a benchmark from which to judge their response to next racist mole that pops up out the Republican burrow.

Racist corporate advertisers?

castor_troy · May 31, 2019, 4:48pm

Don’t have to be racist, just have to be chasing money.

It’s a big cabin for some with a root cellar for those they want to keep out of sight of visitors.

You misspelled “outhouse.”

But you’re always welcome in our house…

The Muppet Show had the occasional bit of dark side…

Never underestimate the motivation of self-loathing.

Here. Let me. Laura Ingraham is the biggest fraud at FOX. She wants to be ‘famous’. Always did. It started at Dartmouth and she has played the role of provocateur for decades. ANY attention is good attention. When she gets ‘caught’ she is always the victim. Always. She will defend the indefensible and then assure you dammit that she is the biggest, baddest Christian in the room so how can SHE be bigoted, racist, hateful, etc. etc. She went over to the ‘conservatives’ because she saw that as her best chance.

On the other hand, Fox evidently seeks them out, because violent people bring in ad revenue?

ronbyers · May 31, 2019, 5:04pm

My question is why does Fox News put up with somebody like Laura Ingraham? Look at her fellow travelers. What is the old saying “birds of a feather flock together.” Me thinks maybe Fox News is down with promoting all that is implied by the term “white nationalism.”

Julius Caesar would concur, if he could.

Dear Laura and other wing-nuts: They were not banned for being conservative. They were banned for saying hateful, stupid shit and promoting hatred.

That is both creepy, and particularly appropriate per visitors to Fox News talkshows and what happens to their brains over time as they stay.

sniffit · May 31, 2019, 5:31pm

None of what he’s done actually matters. What matters is:

He’s being accused of doing it.
The target audience has been extremely well trained to believe that any accusations like these are overblown, hyperbolic and false “card” playing.
The target audience harbors feelings that are extremely sympathetic to or even identical with his beliefs, anger and fear;
Therefore, they identify with him and confirmation bias tells them to believe the falsehoods and spin that Faux News attaches to it all.
As a result, his inclusion gives them one more reason to be riled up, angry and fearful about the unfair persecution of someone who they consider to be just like them.

This guy has gotten 10% of the vote in the last 3 or 4 GOP primaries in WI-1 and is worth attention on his own.

midnight_rambler · May 31, 2019, 5:39pm

It isn’t even just Nehlen, that whole group is batshit crazy. IIRC, Woods was banned from Twitter for threatening people. Loomer is straight up mentally ill. Alex Jones and Milo need no further comment.
