CNN's Liberal Meltdown: Brexit Means ‘Xenophobia,’ ‘White Identity’ Win
newsbuters.org ^ | 6/24/2016 | Scott Whitlock

Liberal CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour suffered an epic meltdown on Thursday night as it became clear that Britain was asserting its national sovereignty and voting to leave the European Union. The sneering Amanpour repeatedly derided it as an example of “xenophobia” and “white identity” politics.

Early in the evening, with the result still in doubt, Amanpour told Anderson Cooper: “A lot of the Leave movements are led by the hard-right, very, very xenophobic, anti-immigrant, very populist, nationalist, white identity politics.” Later, as reality set in, the journalist referenced the current issue of The Economist and raged, “This marks a victory for the kind of economic nationalism, to quote this article here, for the kind of xenophobia, that will imperil the liberal world order that has guaranteed western prosperity and stability since World War two."

The dark people gathering in Calais to get into Britain aren’t from the Commonwealth; they have no need to take that approach. They are from other Third World toilets, having crossed into southern Europe and made their way to Anglo-land...

I put it in the Lord’s hands last night; though I did ask
for His help, went to sleep with the heads all doing a
“Dewey defeats Truman”. Woke up to a better day!
Hallelujah!! - Yahweh did not let us down. He is good!

the "War Whore," opining on a subject she knows little or nothing about.

That's really not fair. By that standard she'd never be able to give an opinion.

ABC News reporter Christiane Amanpour (born in Tehran, Iran) re:her painting of burning World Trade Center towers on 9-11.

"Favorite Item in the Apartment: A massive painting that I got in Iran, a few years ago, by Farideh Lashai, a friend who is also Iran’s pre-eminent abstract-expressionist painter. It gives me joy every time I walk in my door."

As an American Anglophile, with roots in the country since 1622, second boat to Plymouth Rock, I am used to clean water and a competent sewer system.

Letting America slip is not an option. I am proud of my relatives in England.

Amanpour has always been a foul, hateful bitch. She loathes America and can barely speak of this country without literally spitting.

Her husband is a globalist, Clinton supporting, self hating Jew with no feelings for the State of Israel at all.

Any time these folks lose it’s either racism or white privilege.

It’s so tiresome.

I despise that song. Sure, pretty tune, but “Imagine” is such a hypocritical holier than thou piece of tripe. I can “Imagine” Lennon et al in the studio, laying it down for hours, then going out to a nearby restaurant and eating platefuls of expensive food, washing it down with pints of the best beer, and then popping into luxury sports cars to go home to mansions and lay their heads down on expensive beds. He wasn’t going to give up any of his millions to share with all the world, and everyone who ever has throughout history has been on the wrong end of a gun. Glorification of poverty is fine for some protected monks but it’s a death sentence for anyone else.

It's interesting that the highest percentage “Leave” vote from any area in England was from Boston in Lincolnshire, where the Pilgrims left from...:^)
