CNN Goes Bonkers Over Bannon

Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Remember when, at the beginning of his administration, President Obama made Valerie Jarrett his closest advisor, and how CNN went on the attack because of her far-left roots? Neither do I.

But now that President-elect Trump has named Steve Bannon as a senior advisor, CNN is in full inquisition mode. Chris Cuomo and Poppy Harlow, co-hosts on today’s New Day, cross-examined Trump spox and former Sen. Tom Coburn, respectively. References to the alt-right, anti-Semitism, etc. flew as the CNNers combatively questioned their guests.

References to the alt-right, anti-Semitism, etc. flew as the CNNers combatively questioned their guests.

Anti-Semitism? Where? Lying pricks. If Bannon or Breitbart News even showed a smidgen of anti-Jewish / anti-Israel sentiment I'd have picked up on it long ago. I've read this blatantly false accusation in several MSM articles today, and it's seriously pissing me off.

[GLDNGUN]

Yes, they are wrong about Bannon and so are you. Why again was he a bad hire for the Trump campaign?

[Scythian_Reborn]

Actual reaction live on the Air ...

[Mr. Mojo]

The Jewish community is calling him an Anti-sematic person.

Not just progressive Jews, but progressives in general are making that false accusation. Progs know that whatever lie they disseminate will be taken by half the country as gospel, without any supporting evidence required.

I posted quotes, links, and evidence. All you have is your unsup[ported opinion.

What is CNN’s strategery? Who sets that?

---

CNN’s strategy is to utilize current news stories as a scenario to support their liberal narrative. Who sets it is anyone's guess.

The Commie libs are in full meltdown. How sweet it is.

And to think how glum I was anticipating Hitlery stealing the election and by now I would be tuning out all political print and TV news so I didn’t have to read the glowing MSM embrace of Hitlery, how the country has “come together behind her”, and all the commie programs she was going to increase or begin.

What a breath of fresh air it is to have Trump as president elect and the entire leftist Marxist cabal on the run with their heads exploding. Let them bark at the moon. Regular people now see them for the lying commie-supporting frauds they are.

How sweet it is.

Having watched the video and seen CNN’s reaction, I think Bannon is an excellent choice.

[MayflowerMadam]

I’ll bet Bannon is amused — and will get his revenge, since “Honey Badger don’t take no sh!t.”

[ColdOne]

please add me to your ping list.

[roostercogburn]

I hope Trump gets Laura Ingraham to be press secretary. We need someone to slice and dice the media on a daily basis.

[wardaddy]

We can expect smears of every stripe

It’s worked for them so long they don’t know any better

But look at Netanyahu’s reaction to a Trump victory

Says it all

He’s thrilled

And for good reason

Stahl is the real anti Semite

Aid and comfort to Israels enemies

Paging Holder?

Your information is a garbled mess. I can play 3 degrees of separation as well and link you to George Sonos or anyone else for that matter. I read a Fox news article that states his strain is all about preserving Western values while you say he wants to destroy them. So tell me what Western values does he want to destroy? Please be specific with sources about HIM and HIM only.

[TBP]

Bannon says that he has made Beritbart into a “platform for the alt-right.” (His words.)

He describes himself as a “Leninist.”

Now, the alt-right, for all its variations, is united around hostility to Western culture and the centrality of race. (Read “An Establishment Conservative’s Guide to the Alt-Right”.)

[TBP]

What I posted is copied from another thread on FR, because I didn’t feel like re-creating it all again.

[GLDNGUN]

So you can’t name ONE Western value that he is on record as wanting to destroy. Do I have that right?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks for your interest! I’d be glad to, but looks like you’re already on it!

[ColdOne]

LOL...i thought so.....but with the amount of articles i have been reading of late...wanted to make sure. Great put me down twice, like dem voters in blue states! LOL Thanks.!

[GLDNGUN]

Bannon says that he has made Beritbart into a “platform for the alt-right.” (His words.)

And...so...? You say "alt-right" as if that is something horrible. The Mother Earth Jones article that says Bannon said this also says this:

Exactly who and what defines the alt-right is hotly debated in conservative circles, but its most visible proponents—who tend to be young, white, and male—are united in a belief that traditional movement conservatism has failed. They often criticize immigration policies and a "globalist" agenda as examples of how the deck is stacked in favor of outsiders instead of "real Americans."

I have no problem with that whatsoever. Do you?

He describes himself as a “Leninist.”

Context is everything, my FRiend. Of course you know that. The Daily Beast article that states Bannon said this continues with:

Shocked, I asked him what he meant.

“Lenin,” he answered, “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.” Bannon was employing Lenin’s strategy for Tea Party populist goals. He included in that group the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as the traditional conservative press.

I emailed Bannon last week recalling our conversation, telling him that I planned to write about it and asking him if he wanted to comment on or correct my account of it. He responded:

“I don’t remember meeting you and don’t remember the conversation. And as u can tell from the past few days I am not doing media.”

Again, I have no problem with that whatsoever. Do you? Donald Trump is the George Washington of the 2nd American Revolution. He and Bannon are in DC to change it forever, not make nice.

Now, the alt-right, for all its variations, is united around hostility to Western culture and the centrality of race. (Read “An Establishment Conservative’s Guide to the Alt-Right”.)

This is where you become completely non-sensical and contradict yourself. The reason the alt-right is hated by liberals, moderates and even some conservatives is because they are SO much in favor of Western Culture. That is in fact why they are accused of being racist. You even posted this yourself:

The alt-right also hates the free market. This is from Breitbart:

“Alt-righters describe establishment conservatives who care more about the free market than preserving western culture, and who are happy to endanger the latter with mass immigration where it serves the purposes of big business, as ‘cuckservatives.’”

Never mind the ridiculous assertion that one must hate the free market if they dare make anything else a higher priority. So what exactly do they care more about than the free market supposedly? PRESERVING WESTERN CULTURE! So here you criticize the alt-right/Bannon for "preserving western culture" above all else, while elsewhere you say the alt-right/Bannon is "is united around hostility to Western culture"

So which is it? Is the alt-right/Bannon "preserving western culture" or "united around hostility to Western culture"?

Your criticism of Bannon is threadbare and contradictory.

It's almost as if you don't have a clue of what you are actually posting, and just regurgitating a bunch of crap that someone gave you. What is your agenda? Who's bidding are you doing?

And you have yet to answer either of the following questions despite several opportunities to do so:

What part of Western culture is Bannon trying to destroy?

Was Bannon a bad pick by Trump to run the campaign that just won perhaps the biggest election upset in the history of our country?
