Bernie is such a loon.  CNN must really be struggling now to make 90% of their stories negative about Trump that they have to use this patsy to make their case

I love it when libtards say something about "Faux News".....and then I ask them if they realize CNN/MSNBC coverage of Trump has been about 2.5X more negative than Fox coverage was of Obama.  The usual response is silence and the end of the conversation.

I think it's an old metric, but a few months after the election Fox was 52% negative on Trump....and that apparently made Fox a "pro-Trump propagandist".

Says a lot about his perceived competence when the "home field" network is 52% negative!

LOL, that's the hard part of the comparison vs. Obama - what is the proper "fair" amount of negative coverage?

But anything remotely close to 90% is clearly agenda-driven and focused mainly on non-policy.  If you were to focus purely on policy - which is what we generally would expect from news - then maybe it should be about 30-40% positive or negative, and about 20-30% neutral.  Coincidentally, Fox's coverage of Obama is pretty close to those numbers.

So I'd agree Trump drives a lot of non-policy coverage of himself, and much of that is justifiably negative.  That's probably how you get an otherwise balanced coverage at Fox up to 52% negative.  But looking at coverage on MSNBC or CNN, it's just completely unhinged libtardism.

Article in the WSJ how only 4 large developed countries have a higher debt burden than the US - Portugal, Italy, Greece and Japan.

Those economies are all doing gangbusters, so I'm sure more debt bodes well for the US!

Ok, in case I had any ideas left in my brain that the democrats were halfway decent...

Saying this represents all democrats is like saying that Richard Spencer's views represent all republicans.

Richard Spencer isn't the deputy chair of the RNC.

So what.  I would guess that most people outside of those who are consumed by political commentators 24/7 don't even know who this guy is.

This is the dumbest shit you have posted.  You are comparing the deputy chair to the DNC to a fuck head neo nazi who happens to be shifting his support to DNC candidates fyi.  

One guy isn't running a party, the other is.  Pretty big difference when you have a bunch of people blindly voting for the two major parties in this country.  This post is in the early running for worst deflection of the year.

Another great deflection.  People blindly vote for the DNC, and this guy is making major decisions for the DNC.  I don't see how you can't comprehend this.

Pretty much nobody had hear of Richard Spencer and the "alt-right" prior to August 2016 when the Democratic cabal got together and decided to paint Trump as a white supremacist.

The mainstream liberal media has been exposed as just a left-wing version of Breitbart.  Sad!

People vote blindly for both parties.  None of those voters think or care about the actions of elected leaders.  Dennis Haster is a pedophile.  Does that mean republican voters condoned that crime just because he had been speaker of the house?  Of course not.  This guy is holding up a book, who cares?

Good, I'm glad my post has made it into the contest.

Richard Spencer does not, and never has, spoken for republicans at large. Nor is he an official elected into office in service of the public.

Keith Ellison is, as has been said already the Deputy Chair of the Democratic Party. He's also a congressman. He is an official that was elected into office to serve the public.

The comparison that you are trying to make, Boogie, is nonexistent. They have in common the fact that they both have first and last names. That's it.

Please, if you are going to defend any democrat, the DNC or any member of congress, do something better than throwing up RichardFuckingSpencer as a comparison.

Yeah, there are a lot of better comparisons if you want to point out wacky, stupid R-tards to offset the wacky, stupid libtards this site loves to focus upon. With your Lindsay Grahams, who HATED Trump until he got into power and then quickly turned into a comically over-the-top asskisser (including chiding someone for using a term --- jackass, maybe -- in regards to Trump that he personally used during primary season) or your Chris Christies, who spent the majority of Trump's candidacy hilariously begging for some sort of scrap at the dinner table and (for Like That and others) is a notable bandwagon sports fan. Sessions is ALWAYS a good choice, as is Ted Cruz; or you can go for the lowest-hanging fruit like Pedo Roy or Ohio's own Anti-Ghey Ghey Goodman.

A lot of easy choices that are superior to some random wingnut who's basically QQ with a higher degree of public visibility.

I already said both parties have people voting for them blindly.  Please keep up.  Your deflection was no better than CC or QO deflecting with Clinton/Obama every other post.

Again, I said both parties have their blind voters.  I haven't been one to deny the GOP has gone full retard.   The MSM has done a fine job exposing the hypocrisy that comes from them for the last 8+ years.  The difference is the DNC still pretends to be the moral authority (despite countless recards of being scumbags) and their party leader is blatantly showing his support for a piece of shit organization.  I could be wrong, but none of the people you listed are tweeting images of themselves holding a facist book (the irony is ANTIA is facist) stating this is the book that should strike fear in the heart of liberals.

And they have been covering Richard Spencer less and less when it is becomming clear that his stance on a lot of issues match socialist bernie more than it does any republican in office. As soon as he started showing support for Tulsi, his coverage started to drop immediately.

I actually remember when Gabbard did that and didn't think it was anything of significance. And maybe at that time it wasn't. But as you've said in regards to Spencer, it sure has significance now lol!
