Th’ wingnuts are going CRAZY over Thunberg.
Just take a peek at the comments on Fox and Breitbart.
Huh. She’s already at GandhiCon 3 ? Nice !
You can always tell who (or whose messaging) the right-wingers are most worried about, because they point the smear machine in their direction and crank it up to 11. Now that it’s not pointed at Hillary permanently it’s been on a constant swivel recently, including targeting Biden, Sanders, Warren, AOC, O’Rourke and Thunberg. Funny how there’s always a ready supply of bullshit memes prepared for circulation on any topic.
Ready. Fire. Aim.
She’s not being called mentally ill because of Asperger’s. She’s being called that because she doesn’t goose-step in time with the superior Party, plus she’s a girl–a foreign girl!–telling greedy rich white people that they’re wrong. And, of course, she’s been duped into thinking climate change is real.
She’s obviously insane. And probably has two fathers.
Most Republicans know nothing about her whatsoever. All they know is that she is the current target of the Two Minute Hate.
It looks like climate change has now become a gender issue.
To be fair, we’ve always known that protecting the environment is an issue only concerning girls and homersexual queers, but it’s nice to have the psychologists sign off on it.
One of those fathers will turn out to be George Soros, too.
To their credit, Fox News apologized to Thunberg for Knowles’ remarks and said that they had no plans for him to appear as a guest on future shows.
But Laura Ingraham then compared her to Children of the Corn and Fox hasn’t said a thing about that.
Ingraham is one of their stars. God forbid that they besmirch her impeccable reputation (and maybe lose some viewers.) The other hack was a guest and thus disposable.
“Open the door on this outhouse, stick your head in the hole, and take a deep breath.”
Uh, no thanks.
Greta Thunberg is certainly getting a fine introduction to the American right wing. I bet she has received exactly zero such welcomes anywhere else in the world.
nm, wrong thread
The fine, upstanding Christian folks are sending her insults and threats. Nice people.
A black girl at the school where Karen Pence teaches was attacked by sixth grade boys who cut off her dreadlocks because they were ugly.
That story makes me angry. I hope there is a follow-up story shortly, detailing the punishment for the evildoers.
Oh, not to worry. I’m sure they’ll find a way to punish the girl.
This is shitty, and I feel terribly for the girl.
But how the fuck does this qualify as a stupid Republican idea? I don’t care if Karen Pence teaches there, this is basically a story about kids being bullies, which happens everywhere.
Was race a factor? Possibly? Probably? Certainly? Still doesn’t belong in this thread.
YMMV
