Violent thugs and hooligans brutally attack police officers in D.C.

Well now the fruit loops are blaming the fbi for instigating it. Anything so it isn’t them or Trump.

Fact-check: Fox News and Republican lawmakers push new false flag conspiracy that FBI orchestrated US Capitol insurrection - CNNPolitics

 

Gop doesn’t “back the blue”

 

This is how the modern Conservative PR campaign works. Float out 5 different ways that a person can look at an awful event and disassociate it from their in-group. Then let individuals choose which one works best for them. It doesn't matter that the explanations are internally inconsistent, because the goal is to get each individual to pick their favorite. So, from the outside, we can laugh at how this was apparently a bunch of Antifa people posing as Trump supporters, directed by the FBI/deep state, but which wasn't really that big of a deal anyway, and was better than what happened in Portland, and how stupid that sounds, but all Republicans need is for each individual to pick up one of those explanations and make sure that pushing pro-authoritarian rhetoric doesn't hurt them with people that claim to not be authoritarians, while the authoritarians can continue to be proud of that day and use it to try to recruit new followers.

 

yeah, you could see right after Jan. 6 the number of posts on Facebook from people who truly believed it was Antifa or BLM, just because someone else said it was.

 

Fox News has become InfoWars with a much larger megaphone. Alex Jones may have been marginalized but he has been replaced with Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. Although Fox News has always leaned far to the right, it's decline into tin foil hat conspiracy land began when Sean Hannity began promoting the absurd theory that Seth Rich was the victim of a paid hit by the DNC and/or Hillary Clinton back in 2016 and it's been rapidly declining since then. Also coincides when the network decided that it could draw higher ratings shilling for Donald Trump rather than as an even remotely legitimate conservative platform.

 

Factcheck looks at how this traveled ... from a rightwing website saying it's possible that FBT agents or informants were involved, to Fox claiming it was organized by government agents to rightwing congressmen demanding the FBI explain why it was involved.

Conservative Outlets Advance Unfounded Theory About Capitol Attack - FactCheck.org

 

This is a perfect example of how fake news matters. Next time your friends say so what, point to this and say this is how fascists use fake media to justify political agendas.

 

I guess it is true that you are actually less informed by watching fox than you would be watching nothing at all.

 

Yep.

Consuming content from Fox News is associated with decreased knowledge of science and society

 

Anybody remember when "Thugs and hooligans" stormed the capital during the Cavanaugh hearing?

 

Quite possibly the most intellectually dishonest comparison ever.

 

That's a pathetic comparison, even for you. When they bring weapons, construct gallows and try to lynch people, let me know.
If you can't see the difference, not much anyone can do to help you understand.

 

I can see the difference. These folks were democrats.

 

Oh then you had these far left insurgents.

The 1983 U.S. Senate bombing was a bomb explosion at the United States Senate on November 7, 1983, motivated by United States military involvement in Lebanon and Grenada. The attack led to heightened security in the DC metropolitan area, and the inaccessibility of certain parts of the Senate Building. Six members of the radical far-left Resistance Conspiracy were arrested in May 1988 and charged with the bombing, as well as related bombings of Fort McNair and the Washington Navy Yard which occurred April 25, 1983, and April 20, 1984, respectively.

 

Then of course we all remember the Steve Scalise shooting......It is not like this kind of thing is limited to one party. It might even be said one side is simply following the other sides lead.

 

Then start a thread on a bombing in 1983. Your ridiculous comparison of a violent insurrection to the video you posted was ridiculous and you know it.
Try to stay on topic.

 

Too freaking funny. Here are your last 3 posts on this thread....LMAO Try to stay on topic. Oh and folks were foolish enough to proclaim your post "Winner".

 

Trump supporting right wingers who bought into and then self-deluded about a massive lie tried to violently stop an election. This insurrection is in no way to comparable to a lone kook trying to kill Scalise. What would be comparable was the nutjob that tried to kill Gabbie Giffords.

 

Oh boy…

 

It takes a pretty clever lawyer to come up with such a stupid argument.
