The Vocabulary Of El Paso Shooter, Fox News Alarmingly Similar

Using terms like “invasion,” “flood” and “replacement,” the El Paso shooter sounded an awful lot like some talking heads on Fox News — and President Donald Trump.

Fox just following Jesus’s command to fed the hungry masses. Who knew he was talking about food and not bullshit?

Thanks to Ms. Riga for “screed”. The “manifesto” line is getting old, and was bullshit to begin with.

Well shit
Ya Think so
Tune into Faux on any given day of any week and no matter what is going on like Murders,Mayhem, Mass shootings, Fires ,Trainwrecks the ever present chryon
“Crisis at the Border”
This is especially true if there is something negative about Fat Nixon in the news
Then we go to the stock film of people flooding over the border or a nice story about a poor white person killed by an “illegal” alien.
The further we get into this election the worse it will get , because obviously that’s what he’s running on

They can deny it…trouble is, it IS a motivator for 'em. They are locked in. To NOT do it would be like playing “Jeopardy” on TV for pennies instead of dollars…

Nice to see “screed” finally kicking “manifesto” to the gutter.

Maybe next we can replace “alarmingly” with “predictably.”

If Fox’s words were bullets…

But, i’m glad they haven’t yet achieved that status.

In the mean time, enjoy a song about Australia’s deadliest animals. (Hint: The NRA isn’t one of them.)

Hateful white people are in no more danger of dying out than the rest of humanity. They just feel obliged to take an active role in it.

Speaking of screeds…
And Now this

Remember, this is the “News” channel that coined the term; “Terrorist Fist-Bump” when Michelle Obama fist-bumped her husband on live TV as encouragement just before an important campaign speech.

Much derision and hilarity ensued at Fox’s expense, but they went with it, oblivious to reality, slaves to the Fascist Ideology of the owner who signs their paychecks.

The only place those pictures should be hanging is on the Post Office “Wanted” wall.

“The El Paso shooter left behind a screed endorsing the theory of “Great Replacement,” that an influx of people of color into the United States will lead to the dying out of white people.”

It’s difficult to make a strong case this wouldn’t be a good thing, isn’t it? Caucasians have had their turn at running things here for a few hundred years and have made a hash of it all for the most part.

You’re fired!!

We always knew that Fox was akin to a virulent cancer.

We all agree. NOW, what’s to be done about it???

Put the word out big-time? Boycott Fox’s advertisers? Call them out more effectively, and, if so, how?

Let’s talk about solutions already instead of preaching to the choir ad nauseum.

Couldn’t agree more. Our lives, not to mention culture, would be enriched and flat-out better if we had more Latinx contributions. Yet our government adds authoritarian ICE raids to the injury of communities grieving over the violence incited by so-called leaders.

Many times not even our southern borders. Any crowd at any type of fencing is good enough.
