Alt-Republican Trump moves new "center" to Mordor.

Normalizing the political extreme under the banner of "trying something else," a familiar cry from those disenfranchised rural voters, is obviously a dangerous thing. But since Wisconsinites have rejected my political ramblings outright, voting in even more Republicans, the point I'm making below should be discounted outright. Who the f**k cares:

Think Progress: Major newspapers normalize Trump’s selection of white nationalist as chief strategist: Donald Trump appointed Steve Bannon as “Chief Strategist to the President” … the proprietor of Breitbart, a website that promotes and caters to the alt-right, a euphemism for people who promote white nationalist and white supremacist ideologies. Ben Shapiro, who worked alongside Bannon as Editor-at-Large of Breitbart, said that under Bannon’s leadership “Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website… pushing white ethno-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correctness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers.”

Bannon described himself in 2014 as a “Leninist.”“Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment.

The nation’s major newspapers … everything seems normal.

USA Today describes Bannon as an “ally” and “loyalist.”

The Washington Post also describes Bannon as an “outsider,” while devoting most of the front page to the local NFL team.

The New York Times describes Bannon as a “firebrand” in the headline.

Right Wing Talker Sykes Misses point again purposely, Georgetown U. Student PRIVATE CITIZEN, Condi Rice & Rebecca Kleefisch PUBLIC figures.

Oh, oh, looks like the far right wing, the same folks who just denounced boycotts of businesses that back Scott Walker as unfair, now want to boycott Sly in the Morning. You know, you really have to walk-the-walk if you want to be taken seriously. We're still waiting.  

Far right wing radio talkers always like drawing false equivalencies in their feeble and desperate attempts to make their point. Like Charlie Sykes. This is what Sykes the hypocrite wrote on his blog today:

As the left and the media continue to focus on Rush Limbaugh's offensive (and stupid) comments about a Georgetown student, a Madison talk show host, chortles at the death of a conservative activist. "I’m gonna pour Round-Up on his grave …so there’s no chance that he ever comes back to life! And I can kill him like the weed that he was. I’m glad he’s dead!”

Again, as I stated in the title of this blog, the Georgetown student in a private citizen, not a public figure open for scathing criticism.

Sylvester has a history of such controversial segments, once referring to Condoleeza Rice as an "Aunt Jemima" and also accusing GOP Lieutenant Governor, and cancer survivor, Rebecca Kleefisch, of having performed "fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee." 

TMJ's Sykes and WISN's Mark Belling think their pretty much authorities on the issues because Milwaukee media has decided not to reflect the view of blue collar liberals who still vote Democratic.

Here's a pretty nice slide show of Sly and his news partner Crystal McKenzie, put together by some right winger, and the audio of the "offending" Andrew Breitbart comment.



In response, Sly had this:

The Face of of the Radical Loony Right, Breitbart Dead at 43.

Andrew Breitbart was a master at character assassin and conservative projection. His uncompromising bullying is now a political style that caught on among the authoritarian "leaders" worshiped by conservative voters. I don't necessarily credit Breitbart for ushering in this new age of political brutality, but he amped up the "loud" and "obnoxious" elements like nobody could.

Here's the Fox News announcement, short, along with Breitbart's dictatorial speech at the Capitol during the massive Walker protests. I've also included his rant that said everything about the current Republican Party member, 'we've got the guns.' All short bits, but worth noting.



Here's Sly in the Mornings announcement, a few more of the details, and a caller's interesting suggestion.

Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi: So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.

I say this in the nicest possible way. I actually kind of liked Andrew Breitbart. Not in the sense that I would ever have wanted to hang out with him, or even be caught within a hundred yards of him without a Haz-Mat suit on, but I respected the shamelessness.

How Fox News Created a Fear Mongering Lie about Teamster Pres. James Hoffa.

It has all the earmarking's of a Fox News hit job:

Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa vowed on Tuesday that he will "never apologize" for standing up for American workers, even in the face of considerable criticism for a Labor Day speech in which he targeted Tea Party politicians and urged supporters to "take these son-of-a-bitches out."

And it is, with a fancy bit of video editing. Below, I've put together how Teamster's James Hoffa's speech morphed into what has been interpreted by Fox pundits as a violent bloody threat to kill tea party members. Hoffa was talking about voting....




Here's Ed Schultz with Teamster President James Hoffa:

The Angry Dark Spot in Breitbart's Incivility.

This is the real Andrew Breitbart. A convoluted stooge and a mentally confused conservative seller of chaos. He wants to say one thing on camera, write something tactilely different but still insinuate the same thought the next minute, and then defend against the obvious racist nature of the tea party movement. This is Martin Bashir, and investigative news, at its best. Wish it would happen more often.

The Southern Strategy Nationwide, Fox News Style.

Rachel Maddow did a great piece on racism in America, and how history is repeating itself on steroids. Amazing comparisons.

Breitbart, Desperation, Rabid Racism and the really Ugly Side of Conservatism!

Andrew Breitbart committed political and business suicide with his hit piece on Shirley Sherrod...okay, in most cases that would be true, but we are dealing with Fox News viewers and a tea party hell bent on government free liberty and freedom.

If you've ever had a conversation with someone you suspect to be a little off kilter, than you'll know what I mean when I suggest looking into Breitbart's frantic, intensely shifting eyes. The only thing missing from what looks like a bad case of rabies, is a foaming mouth.

But that's all surfacing, first impression stuff. It's the content of his accusations that is more unsettling and scatter shot. It's also a reoccurring race baiting attack perfected by George Wallace. Check out the compilation of comments and analysis below:
