That’s Twice in One Day
Another case today, even more transparent than the one about Bachmann, of a thread based on an article that makes an allegation, and fails to provide any substantiation.
Again, a visit to the original CNN article provides no detail and no links.
Though authorities are still trying to determine what precipitated the incident, Barton said police allege White has links to white supremacist organizations and to the separatist group Republic of Texas, which was involved in 1997′s Fort Davis Resort standoff.
That’s it. No elaboration, no links to other websites.
Now, I have no doubt that some kind of connection exists, but based on this, the guy’s barber’s granduncle could be the white supremacist. There’s just no way to determine the facts, and CNN just expects people to just swallow the implication – that Texas is crawling with violent white supremacist nuts – whole and uncritically.
Shame on CNN for such slipshod journalism, and shame on LGF for that meaningless and disingenuous headline.
John Charleson is dishonest as he is obese.
If the dude was black and had actually killed a cop like Mumia he would be a hero to the left.
Ahh white supremacists – Fat Man lives for that!
what happened to ‘fact check your ass’?
Now it is just “Fat Ass Check” since Charles is a blimp.
ahhaha
What’s dangerous about this “links to” business is that this is how Randy Weaver was set up, and the fiasco that resulted from that. He was a complete nobody among the Aryan Nations, and the BATF thought that he’d be a good patsy to get to the somebodies. There are lots of nobodies like that, and their “links” really don’t prove much of anything.
Another case that comes to mind is the strange case of Buford O. Furrow Jr., who was a “white supremacist”, but when you look a little closer, he was released against his will from a mental institution, and not competent to be out and amidst the public. People like that aren’t white supremacists who go nuts, they’re nuts who are easy prey for the white supremacists.
Sorry Chuck, but it’s never as simple as your “heroes and villains” narrative.
We can’t have facts get in the way of a narrative /
I don’t see why Chuck thinks this is politically significant.
Even if the guy is a white supremacist, what’s CJ’s point?
Most racial supremacists (whether white or black) may not be violent criminals, but they’re all bound to have a few screws loose. So you’re going to draw a disproportionate number of anti-cop thugs from those groups, whether you’re talking about the Aryan Nation or the New Black Panthers. How is this is news?
Chuck is incapable of “thought”. He is, emotionally, a 14-year old girl. Lash out, lash out…. stroke pony and admire self in mirror…. lash out, lash out.
This is me.
I don’t think it’s just emotionally.
This is me, the quintessential human non sequitur.
