Good morning: This is dehumanizing a whole political party. It’s an excuse for eliminationism.

Normalizing this shit is why we are where we are.

One tries to imagine the reaction if, in '67, G. Wallace were interviewed by, oh , Mike Wallace, to walk a county lane, and talk about his love of dogs, and the Old South, and make the claims about the animality of Black folks.

This is the place just before the genocide in Rwanda. You have to make the people you are wanting to kill seem so monsterous they don’t deserve to live. Otherwise your children will ask you why you killed Bobby’s mother. Thanks Republicans for destroying America.

In the end, she will be remembered for lies and hatred for everyone not like herself. This means she will not be remembered at all. She is a breathing monument to her own vanity.

There is little “normal” about MTG. That should be obvious to anyone

I guess every circus has a sideshow because the big name clowns are never enough. It’s a shame CBS has fallen to hawking the tickets.

Stahl could have really blown Marge’s brain by asking so parents and doctors can’t help newborn that born intersexed? Or if a girl, or boy has precocious puberty, as in puberty starts well before the normal range.

But it’s perfectly acceptable to “groom” children to as racists as their parents?

Interesting that Spork Foot talks about schools “indoctrinating” children, but listening to hours upon hours of right-wing radio with her father ISN’T indoctrination. Also, someone should inform Spork Foot is that if a comment appears UNDER HER NAME on social media, SHE SAID IT. Doesn’t matter if it’s the unpaid intern posting it. Someone should tell her to grow up and take responsibility for her words.

Just another reason why I gave up on See B.S. News years ago.

I guess we now know who’s the likely pedophile, or covering for pedophiles. Because innocent people don’t go around accusing other innocent people of things they or people they’re close to aren’t doing themselves. First law of projection. Actually, the only law of projection. Taking bets on how long before we find out that she’s been “hanging out” with 15 year old boys.

Not exactly the same but is this really any better? Why can’t we point out the behaviour of people and lies without name calling?

Why does the media insist putting people on TV who encourage nuts to commit violence. This is dehumanizing and entire segment of the US population. This is not serving the American people. Greene is dangerous and should be locked up for sedition and treason.
