Economist cover shows Trump speaking with KKK hood
The Hill ^ | 17 Aug 2017 | ROBIN EBERHARDT

The Economist has made a shocking statement on the president on their most recent cover, showing him speaking through a megaphone that appears to look like a Ku Klux Klan hood.

The latest cover of the magazine has no headline mentioning Trump or words describing the president’s recent actions.

Trump has taken heat and faced widespread condemnation from Democrats and Republicans for his comments on the rally in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend, after he said twice that more than one side was to blame for violence that erupted.

White supremacists, neo-Nazis and KKK leaders gathered in Charlottesville last weekend for a “Unite the Right” rally to protest the planned removal of a Confederate statue, sparking counterprotestors to arrive opposing them.

The event took a deadly turn when a driver with alleged ties to the white supremacists allegedly rammed his car into the counterprotesters, killing one woman and injuring others.

Trump originally did not call out the white supremacists specifically and said “many sides” were to blame for the violence and doubled down on his statement on Tuesday just one day after calling out the racism as evil and condemning the groups.

This propaganda is getting out of hand. Most major media outlets are nothing less/more than communist propaganda.

This is how the left demonizes those whom it plans to murder.

The left has declared war on us. The left plans to murder us; their inspiration is the Third Reich.

Their (MSM) lack of objectivity is not lost on the masses. Don’t worry.

The Globalist Free Traitors™, like the ones at the “Economist”, cannot allow Trump to succeed. We need to purge them from Free Republic as a first step.

The only way the “seem to be winning” is through the filter of their own eyes and mouthpieces. Suck it up buttercup...

The Obama inJustice Department figures for 2016 showed a KKK membership of 4000 - 8000 nationwide. There are not even that many white supremacy group members.

The democrat party is trying to erase their solid and ongoing ties to slavery, the KKK, racism, and hate. They chartered the KKK, they supported it and have now regenerated their terrorist arm into BLM (the klan with a tan), and antifa.

Outlaw the democrat party and tear down all monuments and references to its leadership past and present because they are reminders of slavery and hate. This would include the fascist Kenyan BHO. His African ancestral tribe was a big player in the slave trade up to today and his mothers family were slave owners. He is a reminder of the party of slavery and hate.

Truth doesn’t matter any more. The entire media establishment is calling him racist. This is not the last. They plan to keep disturbing the civil order as long as there’s a Republican president.

They only win if you let them. There is a lot of noise here, much like OWS. It is localized to areas where the fascist democrats have control but is broadcast by the Goebbels Press arm of the democrat party as if it is nationwide.

This is all a repeat of what the democrat party did in 1860 when Lincoln was elected.

The democrat party of slavery is still pissed that Lincoln freed their slaves.

The Economist, a dying rag which like Newsweek may soon be sold for a democrat confederate dollar.

“Their (MSM) lack of objectivity is not lost on the masses. Don’t worry.”

I think you may be right. I’ve never really trusted the press, but I lost absolutely any use for it after 2004 (everyone thinks the press lost it for Obama in 2008, but it happened just as bad for John Fn Kerry).

When I happen to hear a news report (say, at the airport), I immediately think, “I wonder what the real story is”. So why should I use a product that I know doesn’t work as intended?
