Edit: BREAKING: Covington Kids Going To The White House
https://www.dailywire.com/news/42522/...

It is the perfect story for the left and fits the leftist made-up narrative of racist anti-Indian Trump loving white christian males so perfectly. Except...

The video below is NOT the viral video making all the main stream media news. It starts with the story everyone has been hearing, then this video shows what happened before the encounter.

vvvvv
BIG WARNING!!! There are lots of racial slurs in the video link below! It has stuff being said that gets people fired, kicked of internet sites and their credit revoked.
And it wasn’t from the catholic teens.
^^^^^

    Is this putting your foot in your mouth news reporting?

    I have heard the word "snowflake" used a good deal over the past 12 months or so. This thing (journalist?) is the living embodiment of a snowflake. It reminds me of something Rand wrote in AS near the end -- I think it is where Dagny and Galt are talking after taking a good look at the enemy -- and they are a bit flabbergasted when they realize that the thing they are fighting is just a gauzy little puff of nearly nothingness.

    Maybe that’s why they want to throw these people into a wood chipper red hat first.

    "Most of those who so eagerly maligned these boys will face no lasting consequences, while the boys themselves will always have to wonder, when they are turned down for a job or a school, whether someone had Googled their name and found only half this story. This is an ugly moment in America, all right, but there are few things uglier than a righteous leftist mob."

    "Best-selling author Reza Aslan tweeted that the high school junior had a “punchable face.” Former Democratic Party chief Howard Dean opined that Covington Catholic is “a hate factory.” GQ’s Nathaniel Friedman urged people to “Doxx ‘em all,” i.e., make their personal information public. "

    Remember Dean? The hysterically screaming Dean during his presidential campaign?

    Well, the same Dean is playing ethics, claiming Covington is a "hate factory".

    He has no problems with the colleges across the US, like Berkeley, where students are indoctrinated with hate by their professors, physically attacking speakers they disagree with, and banning anyone who is even remotely conservative.

    Yeah, that is where the left is now. Wonder how long the brainwashed crowd supports them?

    Does anyone get the impression that these "righteous leftist mobs" are the modern day reincarnations of the lynch mob of old, when the townspeople took justice in their own hands and grabbed the person they deemed guilty without proof, to hang him?

    Who would think wearing a hat saying make America great again could cause you harm and the aggressor be supported by the lame stream media.

    I think, just the color Red would be enough to set them off...and that would show you that they are merely...a brain in a body only.

    It would be quite an experiment. Does adding just the letter “A” make certain kinds of people go stark raving loony?

    I am not a "hat wearing" kind of guy, but am tempted myself to see what happens.

    Hmmmm.
    I was thinking of getting a red MAG hat and see if it incited the same level of hate.

    I wonder, Solver, if media would just as quickly jump on someone with a Red Cap on (without the MAGA, logo)...now THAT would give them a case of the Red A*S...laughing

    That's interesting. In my recent interactions with people who are in the mood for a political discussion I often find myself blurting out that I don't talk politics - but that I love to talk philosophy. But, Bethany...almost nobody knows how to do that anymore. This forum is about as good as you'll find in that regard. I occasionally point out the flawed premises that show up (ala Ayn Rand's "check your premises"). Some get it and some don't. Some topics are like religion.

    I hope you find some enjoyment here.

    First, welcome bethanyball!

    Don't give up on the Gulch because you don't see a pure representation of Objectivist dialog or thought under one (or more) topic. Most of us here are fans of the Atlas Shrugged movies, which is why this site was originally formed, and are fans of Ayn Rand, but are mostly Objectivists "in the rough". I can only speak for myself here, but I consider myself more of an Objectivist in the making rather than the finished product. As a result I may offer my 2 cents in a non-objectivist way, but I'll be set straight if I really mess things up.

    Others in the Gulch are extremely versed in Ayn Rand and Objectivism, but don't always chime in on all topics. Stay with it and offer your views. The very fact you asked the question you did is important and I like having you here because of it.
