The Goat Pen

I have to wonder - how many white supremacists does CNN actually thinks exists in the United States?

Their website has this racially charged story about white supremacists, which I am certain is a very small percentage of people compared to African Americans in this country, and they write this up like we're South Africa 1988.

This is the kind of reporting that gets people killed - and that isn't hyperbole on my part. Its irresponsible journalism in a veiled attack on Trump.

I get that CNN hates Trump, but they are moving people to take up arms against each other. There is, and I'm sure will be more - blood on their...well...keyboards.

I'm disgusted with them.

You know it's getting bad when Tick tries to sing the the praises of the Obama economy. Most people feel that it sucked. Badly. That's because it did. Obama's economy is one of the big reasons Trump got elected - to fix it, which he has.

The Left and the MSM (a redundancy) have redefined the words "racist" and "white supremacist" and "neo-Nazi." To them, those words now mean, "anything that we liberals don't like." They truly consider just under 50% of the country (i.e. those who voted for Trump and still support him) to be racist, white supremacist and neo-Nazi. Pretty amazing.

I don't think Obama's economy sucked relative to the situation he walked into, it was just bolstered by unprecendented government spending which made Washington numb to defecits.

He also did a bunch of FDR type actions that led to pushing an agenda for clean energy that in fairness, did lead to dropped prices in the technology but adoption has been killed by stable oil prices. As a result he tried to control the invisible hand of the market to address his global warming concerns while ignoring we have an opportunity for economic growth by bolstering our natural resources which we have plenty of.

I do happen to believe that the economy under Trump is directly related to the idea of deregulation, tax breaks and a general free for all in regards to business which from a corruption and moral compass standpoint usually ends badly but from a growth standpoint opens the gates.

As long as hedge goes back to prison I'm fine.

Acosta knew what he was talking about

Hold on there, "professor" - 18.4% of the country voted for Trump (26% of eligible voters). NOBODY thinks your ilk represents "just under 50% of the country." Get a grip fcol.

...and Hills is still not prez.

You got my interest up, so I read the article myself. The premise of the piece is laid out from the beginning...the election of black Barack Obama "supercharged the divisions that have existed since the nation's birth. "For millions of Americans, Obama lifted the nation - for white supremacists, it lit a powder keg." You seriously don't believe that? Don't you live in KY (or Cincy, same)?

I'm not sure what your post is supposed to mean starting off with some racist piece of propaganda found on reddit

The article is "Obama - an era of hope to Trump - an era of hate"

so regardless of what "premise" you think there is, the title says it all.

This^

According to RCP, Trump's approval rating is 41%. A little below his recent mark of 45%, i.e. just under 50%. Wait a week or two and it will be back. Who knew that 41-45% of Americans are racist sexist homophobe Nazi Klansmen?

BTW, here are some wildly racist cartoons of Condi Rice by tolerant, pluralist, inclusive liberal cartoonists:

Anybody with half a brain...

Your rant against CNN didn't identify the article, which would've been helpful. I assumed you were referring to the State of Hate article that was up on their site yesterday. The reddit piece was part of the article.

Don't read it - it won't improve your mood. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/26/us/ameri ... index.html

"State of Hate" = "Bastards Out There Still Saying Things We Disagree With"
