The January 6 Insurrection Hoax

Imprimis ^ | September, 2021 | Roger Kimball

Notwithstanding all the hysterical rhetoric surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, two critical things stand out. The first is that what happened was much more hoax than insurrection. In fact, in my judgment, it wasn’t an insurrection at all.

Great well written article. Food for the mind. It should be sent to all the weak GOP politicians who have been quivering in fear under their desks since January 6. Thank you for posting.

That's fine, I'm done.

Got some enchiladas to shove in the oven.

Have a good one.

“I’m insecure because your mom kicked me out after your retarded ass was born.

I still say it was her genes and not mine.”

That’s so lame it’s embarrassing. Surely you can do better than that!

[aspasia]

There’s a better way to solve that.

My brother and his wife were there, he wanted me to come, but I couldn't. Fortunately he didn't walk over to the Capitol and get into the staged set up.

He did say, from the beginning that it must have been staged and planned by the left, there was no attempted violence, simply a genuinely peaceful protest. Lots of nice people there.

Didn’t she die because she lost a lot of blood when her wound wasn’t stopped from bleeding. Had it been stopped she would not have died.

This isn’t blog pimping,... what’s your beef?

[humblegunner]

This isn’t blog pimping,...

Did I mention blog pimping?

[Mr. K]

No, and that’s kind of my point... what’s your beef with this post?

A Real insurrection would last a lot longer than 3 Hours. They expect us to believe a violent mob stormed Congress to overthrow the government but was diffused in 3 Hours?
They really think we’re stupid

Is all you like to do is make ad hominem attacks? Your mudslinging is quit unethical because it rejects or criticizes another point of view using non-relevant traits of the person without addressing the core issues.

Is all you like to do is -make ad hominem attacks?

That's how humblegunner gets his emotional payoff. Usually he attacks bloggers and blog pimps, but he decided to branch out to attacking me for posting a perfectly legit article hosted on a non-blog by a famous writer.

Humblegunner should be permanently banned from FR. He has been working on it for years, and I hope he makes it. Soon.

FR would be better without him.

Thanks for posting.

So much for hate-filled white supremacists foaming at the mouth.

I’d say this is probably the best read of the day here on Free Republic. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like smart Freepers liked it, and humblegunner hated it. What could be better?

Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds posted a long excerpt today and gave the article a "Read the whole thing."

Coming within a few hundred yards of the sitting Vice President of the United States, spirited away at 1413hrs with a military aide protecting one of two nuclear launch code footballs held by the Executive Branch, by people smashing windows, coming through doors (and getting shot) and screaming that he be executed, and frantic calls by GOP congressmen/senators to the White House to somehow call off the riot and assault? Yeah. Right. Just a wonderful tourist stroll.

This is another and actually predominant element of what when on up there, and unfortunately there are hours and hours of self-shot videos as evidence, and now the testimony of guilty pleas or details in criminal referrals showing the intent by not a few was to stop, thwart or otherwise overthrow the established constitutional procedure planned for that day--suspended immediately and then reopened at 2000 hrs, with conclusion delayed to 0325 am the following day, not to mention an estimated $1.2 million in repairs needed. Please counter with a few facts if you wish.
