Political Discussion
The sick part about the rightwing gaslighting on the MAGA teens is how many centrist journalists were complicit. The Atlantic. Huff Po. Cnn. WaPo. Kara Swisher. And of course the liars at Washington Examiner and Washington Times and Reason joined, but it's no surprise the rightwing press was lying. What's surprising is how effectively the rightwing press influenced the centrist press. |
Oh, I'm not justifying BHI bigoty and prejudice at all. I'm pointing out that, at least BHI are logically consistent; in contrast to the previous 70+ pages of liberal drivel that "I hate Catholics, Trump supporters, oh, and bigots"... A better analogy might be that both the KKK and BHI are despicable hate groups, but the BHI don't hide behind hoods. |

This is another view at the lincoln memorial. https://twitter.com/i/status/1087484002863325185
ARe people really saying this whole display is justified because of what 5 BHI people said? These kids should never have been left unsupervised for a moment. |
Does the video clearly show that it's the Covington Catholic boys harassing the young woman? There were literally thousands of Catholic school boys in DC on that day. |
Yes. (Also: why were there thousands of Catholic school boys in DC on that day? Because the MOL only exists because Christian adults bus brainwashed kids into DC to march. It's not an organic march. They hold it on Friday to get more school kids and school trips.) |
This bodes well for 2020

No, it's not random "people" that are saying that. It's partisan hacks at Reason (the Koch-affiliated outlet) that are saying that. The right is deathly scared of the GOP base figuring out that Republicans use racism to get votes. That's why the rightwing propaganda machine mobilized for this. |
This is what you get when you distill your entire life's philosophy down to one issue and set it free in public: literal bare-chested, screaming, dumb-asses with under-developed frontal lobes. |
All of this - seriously. This was the first things I taught my kid when we went started visiting DC back when she was a preschooler. Don't engage, stay away and mind your own business. I think the kids just didn't know any better and it's likely the adults didn't either. |

Now reading threads on twitter about the bullying at covington catholic and the kids who left the school or who stayed and killed themselves right after graduation.
So sad. This school needs to be shut down. |
I agree. I also just don't understand why these kids had never been taught that is NEVER acceptable to behave this way on a school field trip, or at a national monument. I have NEVER been on a field trip where kids acted like this. https://twitter.com/i/status/1087484002863325185 My kid would be grounded forever if he acted like that. Seriously. |
Maybe they felt that they had a right to be treated decently in the capital of their country, not set upon by a group of vile bigots who happened to be black. Several of the youths objected to the BHI’s homophobic remarks but the left-wingers don’t want to acknowledge that because it doesn’t fit their narrative. |
Absolutely not. That school likely has gone every year for decades and it also was likely those older kids had gone years prior. I heard they had a priest with them too. They knew exactly what they were doing, just didn't like the outcome. |
Phony. Here’s betting your kid has already or will act like that, and it will be all over Snapchats that you never know exist. |
