(Sigh) Another teachable Moment Completely Blown
vanity

Posted on 08/14/2017 12:30:19 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

The events in Charlotte could have been used to point out that the Extreme left-- Black Lives Matter, Black Bloc, and Antifa are just as bad as the KKK and Neonazis et al. And even more violent. At least according to recent history (Riots at Berkeley, Ferguson and elsewhere, cop assassinations etc)

And the events in Charlotte could have been used to point out that the media who says trump hasn't done enough to condemn extremism, never calls on democrats to denounce left wing extremist groups. Did any democrat ever condemn BLM's rioting? Did any of them condemn The riots at berkeley? Did any of them condemn the shooting of Steve Scalise? Nope.

What happened in Charlotte?

Maybe the left wins the PR war because we can't even figure out the difference between Charlotte, NC and Charlottesville, VA. :-P

The Lying Left hasn’t won anything yet, and the Right needs to get the story straight and then publish it, hopeful with Trump’s help.

It’s starting to look like the attack in Charlottesville wasn’t an attack by the car driver but an attack ON the car driver. Also, here’s a report that “police were called off when violence started – they said, ‘We’re Leaving’”
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/…/reporter-mckelway-police…/

“Several police officers at the station here think the guy running people down wasn’t malicious. They said the driver was scared”
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search…;

The video below may support that the car was attacked before speeding up.

A comment on GatewayPundit may have summed it up very well.
“The mayor and governor. Go straight to the top. Civil Rights were banned by someone at the top! Antifa showed up & the cops did not stand between them & those that had a permit. Antifa chased the non violent protestors out. Keep calm & pay attention folks. This was a set up.”

The only event of importance that I know of that occurred in Charlotte over the weekend was Justin Thomas’ victory in the PGA Championship.

Local news now calling Charlotte a nazi rally.

Local GOP controlled state legislature now looking at enacting hate speech laws in response so we can’t has “nazi rallies” here.

I am disgusted with my nation and my state.

Charlotte is in NC. The location of Mr. Jefferson’s University is Charlottesville, VA. Today the home of a rank, rotten left wing municipal government and a second rate mecca of PC mythology.

I am considering the whispers that the whole thing in Charlotte was fabricated.

Why else were the cops told to stand down?

CharlottesVILLE - my bad - still doesn’t change the fact that the story is now under full meme control and the GOP is pandering to the left again and selling out our rights even more.

This is standard leftist leader operating procedure. When the right has a peaceful denmonstration antifa thugs go in and attack them. The leaders of Berkeley etc tell the cops to stand down so no antifa get arrested. That way they can get away with it.

Everybody already knows this, and the Left isn't "winning" any "PR war". Don't confuse the Media's smears with anything that the People believe, because they don't.

You still haven't wrapped your head around the fact that these propagandists have been exposed for the liars that they are. They stand naked in their deception. They simply don't carry the clout that you continue to ascribe to them.

You watch. If anything, this will only galvanize public opinion and push more people towards the President, because the overwhelming majority of Americans know that Trump supporters aren't racist.

You need to begin thinking according to the new paradigm—the one where these Leftist Swamp-dwelling lying Democrat Media sacks of sh-t are enjoying all the credibility they have earned. That is to say, no credibility whatsoever.

Yes, we'll have to grit our teeth in anger, just like we did during the election cycle. But, if anything, the power of the Media has waned even further since then.

Please stop granting the Media power that it no longer possesses. It is a repudiated laughinsgtock to all but the most gullible rubes—and there simply aren't enough of those to amount to anything in terms of public opinion—much less swaying it...

Did you see that putt he made at the 10th green?!! I have NEVER seen that happen except in the movies. My wife and I were sitting there with our jaws on the ground.

I had said, "He should jump up and down near the hole."
And then 10 seconds later...PLOP! I'm still amazed at what I saw.

What’s really sad to me is that it could have been a chance finally for the Justice Department to take hold of an investigation of the Soros Rentamob groups which are clearly paid and organized to move around the country and disrupt any “right-wing” or pro-conservative event, and have been since at least the early days of the Trump campaign - instead we have disaster Sessions announcing an investigation of the kid who drove his car into the crowd, probably out of panic and confusion -and the left wing disrupters march on - there seems no one who will stand up to this obscenity.....

Great teachable moment, with the worst teaching material to work with.

They won the PR war, because the people that put this on gave the worst optics, and all of the ammo the left could have asked for.

He had talked about the left before, but the media criticized him And sadly Trump fell for it.

he only called out the KKK and white supremacists, no mention of antifa, black bloc, BLM or any other violent leftist extremist groups.

So the media's false picture of evil, violent, extremist right wingers versus loving, compassionate, decent, nonviolent antiracists is preserved untouched.

Not really. Everybody sees events like this through their own prism, there is no teaching. And getting into a “your side’s d-bags are just as d-baggie as ours” is really a no-win pissing contest. People are going to see what they want to see. There is no teaching, those that have something to learn will very studiously never see the teacher.

Charlottesville - Schmarlettesville. Whatever.

1 person was killed there this weekend? Tragic.

Meanwhile 9 people were killed in Chicago this weekend. As a result of racism and violence. Black racism. Black violence.

Nothing tragic about that, though. Typical weekend there.
