What is Alt-Right?

[Mycroft]

Yes, all Muslims are scary people. Icky, too. Keep them out of this country (the one that apparently isn't really great). They want to destroy me. Oh noes, I better buy some prepper supplies.

There you go again...spin, lies and hyperbole. (don't you EVER get tired of that?)

I've already said, it's not ALL Muslims. It's radical Muslims.


Tell you what, darling, talking to you is like talking to a parrot. It's fun...it's kind of a novelty...for a while. After that it's just boring.

 

[Mycroft]

Well, we (or at least I) don't mind pathetic Trump supporters characterizing us as pathetic :roll:. Consider the source and all.

And if you think I'm lying in any of those posts, you're welcome to jump in and demonstrate that I am in fact lying instead of throw rocks from the sidelines without bothering to prove your case.

Second, Trump being an ignorant blowhard appealing to the dregs of the white nationalist alt-right wing is in fact a policy based criticism - if affects what he'll do on immigration, the Muslim world, national security, Russia, the "War on Terror" and more. And if you'd like more policy based reasons I prefer democrats and therefore Hillary to Trump, we can take it up in another thread where it's an appropriate topic. I can promise I will have no problem making a policy based rationalization for my choice.

Spin, lies and hyperbole is ALL I've seen from liberals. Don't worry, you are included.

Whatever the alt-right thinks has nothing to do with whatever Trump decides are his policies. In fact, I don't think his policies go near as far as what those bozos want...no matter how you try to spin it.

No...not getting under my skin. Getting repetition, boring, insulting, etc...yes.


btw, I suspect you are just trying to "get under my skin" by referring to me as "her". On the other hand, maybe you are just ignorant enough not to know that my gender is displayed right under my avatar. I'll let you decide.

I don't look at your stats. Your girly avatar and the way you write always seemed girly to me.

And yeah, it's clear when people get under your skin. Out pops the stupid flick pic.

I understand. Yeah, I can see how you would be confused. Instead of looking at facts...like my gender which is readily displayed...you ignore them and go with your "feelings" and "assumptions"...which end up being wrong.

Typical liberal.

 

[tres borrachos]

She is the only reason why anybody is talking about the alt-right.

And we can talk about Hillary in comparison to Trump when you talk about who Trump hires.

btw, nice side-step from my point about people hiring others...not necessarily for what they've done, but what skills they can provide the candidate.



Blah, blah.

The fact is, there are really only two effective choices. Trump or Hillary.

No, we're talking about the alt-right because of Trump, not Hillary.

No, some grown ups can talk about Trump without the subject deflecting to Hillary. Some grown ups can talk about Hillary without the subject deflecting to Trump.

The fact is, you can vote for whomever you want. There are more than 2 choices. There are literally millions of choices. You can even write in Scott Baio, your mailman, or your dog walker if you really want. See, we all get 1 vote to use as we see fit.

Thanks, now what have I said which is a lie, or do you just like to throw out baseless crap you can't back up?

Whatever the alt-right thinks has nothing to do with whatever Trump decides are his policies. In fact, I don't think his policies go near as far as what those bozos want...no matter how you try to spin it.

I didn't actually say he's a "member" or agrees with all their policies, just that he appeals to them and so far has shown a pretty remarkable (for a person seeking the POTUS) reluctance to distance himself or the campaign from them and instead has taken concrete steps like hiring Bannon to indicate he is actively seeking their support.

LOL!!

Why would you even talk about Trump in a thread about alt-right? Did Trump say something about them?

No.

The only reason is because Hillary talked about alt-right and Trump. Sorry, but she's just as much a part of the issue as he is. More so, in fact, since it's all her conspiracy theory that you are buying into.

And yeah...one can vote for any clown they want to, but if it isn't the two main clowns it's a wasted vote and in the case of Johnson, it helps Hillary...in the case of Stein, it helps Trump. In the case of Baio or any of those others, it's just plain wasted. You'd be better off just not voting.

What I see here from you is "guilt by association"...and it's not that he associates with them...and spin about Trump's actions with a bit of lying by saying he is actively seeking their support. I've seen the hyperbole from you at other times.

 

[Mycroft]

Don't take the "darling" personal, okay? I've lived in parts of the country where expressions like that are commonplace.

If it causes you distress, I apologize.

 

[Absentglare]

What's also funny is the race card has been played so many times for so many things that its lost all meaning.

Nonsense, racism still means racism, and literally still means literally except when it means figuratively.

Its been distorted to the point where a member of the majority cant speak on issues of the minority because he's a member of the racists/misogynists/etc. Its been thrown so much its seen as a way to shut down conversation and not engage in solutions and to use grievances as a way to gather political power.

Strain to shut down any discussion on racism noted and rejected.

Geezus, I can't believe you just posted this. The "alt-right" discussion is because of the hiring of Steve Bannon. Trump's new campaign CEO. Not Hillary's campaign CEO. Donald Trump's. And the term "alt-right" was used as far back as when Trump said Hillary was a terrific woman, the best Secretary of State ever, and the best candidate for President, and when he was still a registered Democrat.

Of course one can vote for any clown they want to. You're voting for Trump, and sadly, it's legal.

Wrong.

Trump hired Bannon days before there was any mention of alt-right. That mention is solely from Hillary's ridiculous conspiracy theory speech that got splashed by the media.

Please. At least TRY to get the facts straight, eh?

 

[OpportunityCost]

Nonsense, racism still means racism, and literally still means literally except when it means figuratively.

No, racism is widely and absurdly defined so as to shut down conversation. Its literally the reason why leveling the charge of racism doesn't mean as much because its leveled at anything and anyone if they disagree with a protected class on a particular issue.

Strain to shut down any discussion on racism noted and rejected.

Bizarro world response. I'm not adverse to discussion. I'm adverse to discussion where my opinions are rejected because of my race/gender/whatever rather than by their content.

 

[Peter King]

If this were the 50's you would make a fine McCarthyite. Guilt by association is a sign of feeble reasoning.

What on earth does this have to do with McCarthy and his dirty work? Nobody is being targeted by the government for their opinion like McCarthy did.

So what? Being critical of the Alt-Right makes people McCarthyites? How about all them conservatives who have been going after liberals and socialists? Because sadly that seems to be perfectly OK in the conservative circles but when we talk about Alt-Right we are being like McCarthy, :lamo sorry but that is just nonsense.

It's number 6 here Top 100 Conservative Websites - Second Quarter 2014 | The Federalist Papers

60 minutes is a "magazine" to; it's just not in print.

 

[nota bene]

You can find that information in all kinds of other places, including sites like Red State and National Review.

That page was just the most concise and comprehensive.

I see you think attacking the source, without countering it - will handwave the information away.

I don't think any 'white nationalist movement" is statistically relevant (I keep asking about this), and it's personally not in the least interesting to me. I say this as a conservative who is relatively well informed and who does read National Review and serious conservative writers such as Victor Davis Hanson, Charles Krauthammer, Mark Steyn, George Will, and others.

I can't imagine any decent person of any political stripe paying a lick of attention to idiot white nationalists. I don't know any conservatives who do. Actually, I don't know anybody who does except here at DP.

 

[nota bene]

This whole thing is a mountain out of a molehill.
The fact that people are buying it is nuts and/or showing their gross ignorance.

It's like the Hillary campaign discovered the internet, yesterday and decided on a fringe group to pin on Trump.

I agree with you that this is an attempt to build a mountain from the proverbial molehill.

Hillary does...though, to be precise, she has only paid attention to them as a means of advancing her conspiracy theory against Trump.

The people here who are talking about alt-right are doing so simply because it's a new way to browbeat everyone about Trump. It doesn't matter to them that it's all based on spin, lies and hyperbole.

Hell, i might just vote for myself. It'd be pretty stupid to claim that that's either a vote for Trump or Hillary.
