Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday seized on the mass shooting at a Colorado supermarket to undermine protests last summer that raised a banner for racial justice.
These two most assuredly have lost what few marbles they still had.
Sheer lunacy. Heard by millions and believed by every one of them.
This is the talking point of the people I used to play boardgames with on Monday nights, Christians all. The Capitol riot was the fault of Black Lives Matter.
So off I went. Life is too short to deal with that shit.
A shame that I now associate Christianity with terrorism. But that’s what it comes to.
Whataboutism is suitable for all occasions.
Looks like Dr. Seuss got off easy this time.
Having repeatedly characterized these people as deplorable, despicable, or whatever, what is left to be said?
A white guy goes to a shopping center in a white neighborhood and kills a bunch of white people, so, of course, Black Lives Matter is at the bottom of the shootings. Hannity has just gone full Sidney Powell. No reasonable person can believe him or his guest.
The two decade hate
There’s a good reason some of us do not watch Hannity. Why do you feel compelled to cover him?
Not sure.
What they said is dishonest but quite directed, even intelligent (given their goals).
That’s your tip-off right there. The question you need to ask is this – which is more evil, being a white supremacist, or having morals so malleable that you’re willing to appeal to white supremacists just to get market share?

The smell of NRA victory.
Not quite what they’re arguing.
They’re saying that, in light of this incident, “Defund the Police” is shown yet again to be misguided.
Needless to say, I find the argument thoroughly dishonest.
I know, but nobody has suggested sending mental health professionals unarmed into an active shooting. “Defund the police” was a giant unforced error people like Hannity are eager to exploit. .
All that footage of dozens of cops milling around aimlessly in a parking lot for hours kind of proves the defund point.
Yes, it was. Unfortunately, there’s no bumper sticker slogan to not over-militarize the police and that not every response needs a police officer with a gun.
I think we are in loud agreement.
I can’t find enough disgust for this completely false if/then crap.
The police have NOT been defunded and yet they couldn’t prevent these 10 deaths including a police officer.
My comment is also a false if/then but is just as useful. Of course Hannity would say they need double the police which still would not have prevented this. BTW, all those cops and the guy is walked out…suspect had to be white.

That reminds me … Didn’t Trump say we should send him in? He practically volunteered, as I recall. Guaranteed result!
