He actually said "semi-fascist" previously, and that wasn't about Republicans in general either. I'm pretty sure his "handlers" approved that given the qualifier of "semi" which knowing Democrats, was probably debated and agonized over for days.
Truthfully, and I can’t speak for River or any of the mods, but comparing stuff like this to Hitler and the holocaust is completely ignorant, abhorrent, and should be grounds for a banning. It’s beyond tiring and quite frankly, disgusting.
Charlie Kirk: Biden's speech at Independence Hall "was almost like a declaration of war against half the country" Ben Shapiro: Joe Biden's speech at Independence Hall was designed to incite violence "to use as a case to run in 2022 and 2024" Fox News contributor: President Biden is “setting the stage for a war against half of America” Dan Bongino says Joe Biden's speech at Independence Hall was an “incredibly hostile incitement to violence”
For Rupert Murdoch and the conservative news outlets, fear, anger, and division brings more eyeballs to each news cycle and increased ad revenue. Many profit from hate speech.
Just so I get this right, that’s not what Whoopi and Co do, or don lemon or any other fired hosts did?
Hey Moderator rivergator, why not in the interest of fairness you go check out what the esteemed perma-MSNBC fixture and WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson had to say about the speech...just to give you a preview he called it a wartime address. Anyway, Dork Brandon has already done a walkback...internal polls must be killing him.
All for profit media is meant to titillate, and conservative media is particularly shameless, but a for-profit media is a problem for civic society in general
hard to draw a line on 'freedom of speech' unless that speech presents a clear and present danger to our republic or violates hate speech laws.
MAGA members who advocate the violent overthrow of the elected POTUS are not regular americans. MAGA members who refuse to acknowledge all of the court findings confirming the election results are not regular american citizens. MAGA members ready to start a civil war to put their deity back in office are not regular americans. They are radical members of a group being led by an unstable narcissists who they treat as some sort of deity that can do no wrong. That is who he was talking about and they are in fact enemies of this democracy being led astray by foreign influences and out of touch with reality narcissist.
Yes, what did Eugene Robinson say: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...peech-democracy-independence-hall-maga-alarm/ “To sound the alarm on democracy, Biden chose the perfect stage” “President Biden’s bold rhetoric and stagecraft in his speech Thursday night were, if anything, understated. We are in a fight to save our democratic system, and it would have been wrong to pretend the battle is not both political and partisan.” “Biden was right: This is an emergency. And he was right to implore the rest of us — Democrats, independents and “mainstream Republicans” — to turn back the MAGA assault on democracy with our votes.“
