Steve Bannon Is Not a Nazi—But Let’s Be Honest about What He Represents (NR RINO Alert)
National Review Online ^ | 11.15.16 | Ian Tuttle

Posted on 11/15/2016 12:45:40 PM PST by pissant

The elevation of the former Breitbart CEO to the Trump administration is cause for concern.

Let’s start with some sense: Steve Bannon is not Josef Goebbels. That is how Bannon was described recently by French cable news network La Chaîne Info (The Info Channel), and American media have taken up the comparison, particularly in light of Bannon’s appointment as the president-elect’s “chief strategist and senior counselor.”

The Huffington Post wailed representatively: “A White Nationalist Is the New White House Chief Strategist.” About Bannon’s personal attitudes, this is hyperbole. Julia Jones, Bannon’s screenwriting partner in Hollywood for nearly two decades, told the Daily Beast in August, “I never knew the ‘racist Steve’ that’s being reported now. I never heard him make any racist jokes, and his best friend was an African-American who went to [college] with him. . . . I never saw even a hint of racism.”

Others have reported the same. Ben Shapiro, who worked under Bannon at his website, Breitbart, until departing earlier this year, wrote on his own site, “I have no evidence that Bannon’s a racist or that he’s an anti-Semite.”

But under Bannon’s aegis, something ugly has taken hold of the Right.

Hey, Mr. Tuttle. You are still lashing out because you failed miserably at your NRO job - which was to undercut Trump. You and Cooke and Goldberg and Lowry and Williamson & other #nevertrump lickspittles spent the last 18 months slandering and lying about Trump, his positions, his "stability" and his commitment to conservatism.

Rather it is you and your f*cking rag that we need to be honest about.

Honest that you have made a mockery of WFB's once indispensable magazine.

Honest that many of your colleagues took anti-Trump PAC money to write your nasty broadsides.

Honest that the Breitbart boys kicked your asses royally in readership.

Honest that you pretended a border wall, re-industrialization, and competently negotiated trade deals were not "conservative".

Honest that you ignorantly thought that Anchor Babies were part and parcel with the Constitution.

Honest that 15 years and counting of Middle East adventurism has gained us next to nothing, but cost us dearly.

Honest that you proclaimed with 100% confidence that Trump could not win the primary.

Honest that you filthy RINOs preferred the globalist, commie hag Hillary over a true Nationalist Trump.

So please explain how such consistently lying, consistently wrong and consistently stupid people like you, Mr. Tuttle, have standing to deem what is acceptable discourse - alt right or otherwise - in a Trump administration.

Your politically correct world has ended.

Okay let’s be real, Ian Tuttle doesn’t eat dog guts under the light of a full moon while wearing spandex undies. Okay?

The undies are NOT spandex, they’re cotton.

Exactly the language of the alt-right.

National Review is one of the most established and respected conservative publications.

The National Review needs to rename itself, National Rearview. It seems the clueless buffoons writing for this discredited rag can’t get their heads out their backside.

Sore losers. What’s wrong with being a “white nationalist”, anyway? Is there some definition I’m not aware of? Or is it just a crime to be white and love your country? (I think I answered my own question)

Yeah, OK. The most blitherlingly stupid and unprincipled piece of toilet paper likes to quote French newspapers and takes the absolutely cowardly approach of denying its conclusion in the first sentence.

“Let’s start with some sense: Steve Bannon is not Josef Goebbels.”

There is one thing you can be absolutely sure of: This is exactly how a 2 year old who still craps in their diaper would start accusing someone else in their puerile and embarrassingly transparent way.

No, NR used to be established and respected. Now it’s GOPe RINO territory. And what exactly is alt.right, anyway? And what’s wrong with an alternative to the RINO establishment?
