MSNBC's Farrow: 'Thanksgiving: Because Genocide Is a Lot More Festive 392 Years After the Fact'
Newbusters ^

Posted on 11/28/2013 8:32:13 PM PST by chessplayer

Ronan Farrow has made it crystal clear that he's going to fit in perfectly as a new MSNBC host.

Ronan Farrow ✔ @RonanFarrow

Thanksgiving: because genocide is a lot more festive 392 years after the fact.

As if that wasn't disgraceful enough, he followed it up Thursday with this:

Ronan Farrow ✔ @RonanFarrow

This Thanksgiving, let's give thanks for what we have and also awkwardly apologize to the Native Americans we slaughtered to get it.

I’m not sure Frank’s the father. Ronan seems to have inherited Woody’s masculinity.

Literally...

In 2009 Farrow joined the Obama administration with his appointment as Special Adviser for Humanitarian and NGO Affairs in the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.[9][19][20] He was part of a team of officials recruited by veteran diplomat Richard Holbrooke,[21] for whom Farrow had previously worked as a speechwriter.[22] For the ensuing two years, Farrow was responsible for “overseeing the U.S. Government’s relationships with civil society and nongovernmental actors” in Afghanistan and Pakistan.[9][19]

In 2011 Farrow was appointed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Special Adviser for Global Youth Issues[23] and Director of the State Department’s Office of Global Youth Issues.[9] The office’s creation was the outcome of a multi-year task-force appointed by Clinton to review the United States’ economic and social policies on youth,[24] for which Farrow chaired the lead working group beginning in 2010.[25][26] Farrow’s appointment and the creation of the office were announced by Clinton as part of a refocusing on youth following the Arab Spring revolutions.[27] Farrow was responsible for U.S. youth policy and programming[9] with an aim toward “empower[ing] young people as economic and civic actors.”[9] Farrow concluded his term as Special Adviser in 2012, with his policies and programs continuing under his successor.[28]

Folks

This mindset is a cornerstone of progressive ideology

A soft race war on white Christian tradition and legacy worldwide

Our president believes it

Shall we submit?

He sure looks like a son of Frank Sinatra! Too bad that he was raised to be a nutcase by Mia.

The looks are Frank’s, as he clearly looks nothing like Woody. Ronan is “supposed” to be a high-IQ genius, but too often the higher the IQ (combined with a heavy leftist indoctrination), the progressively stupider and lacking in common sense one becomes (and in that regard, well within the retarded range). He’d be better off taking up fingerpainting.

Even Davey Crocket was ashamed of what we did to the Indians.

In the original Battlestar Galactica asks the cylons “how does one alter one side of a treaty”. The cylon replies, “when there is no other side.”

Many many times, after agreeing to treaties with the indians, the US govt. unilaterally altered the terms.


No one argues that. But he said if a family gets together on Thanksgiving they are celebrating and giving thanks for the slaughter of the Indians. I take it you agree with him.

Tempted to write the idiot and demand an apology since I am part Native American. The Indians did more slaughtering of each other than the White Man ever thought of doing.

Wish people would actually LEARN history, and not just the parts that fit their agendas.

Heck the “Spainards” ie. “Precious Hispanics” killed more Native Indians and TODAY practice overt racism against “Mestizos” in Mexio. Most moron liberals don’t realize that Mexico is ran by lilly white SPANISH racists. It was the English that were acually NICER than the Spaniards or the French until the mid 1800s

Hey, we didn’t slaughter the Indians, we just took stuff that we needed. It’s not like the country was THEIRS in the first place, they were just being greedy, trying to keep it all for themselves. We needed, like, food, and land to grow crops on, and animals to eat, and hey - we were ENTITLED to it!

Free stuff for everyone, spreading the wealth around -that’s the socialist way!

The “Native Americans” were actually from Asia, they stole it from the “Clovis Man” from Europe, who stole it from Sasquatch....

Wait, maybe moochelle is getting her revenge...

The last 40 +++ years of very LIBERAL education.....which has totally warped their view of everything.

I am beyond thankful for the education I got in a one room school & in a small town high school in the 40’s & 50’s.

We cannot change things until we get control of the education system in the USA. EVEN IF there has to be a massive rise in home schooling.

The high level of people under 40 who are ‘so smart’ and so completely stupid all at the same time, it makes me cringe.

Example: I have been working diligently toward moving if I can sell this property. I am a bit of a pack rat & I don’t give away my books, etc. Therefore, I have a number of HEAVY boxes which have to be moved. I have numbered all the boxes I already have packed & I know the contents of each of them. I have estimated the weight of each, also, so I can pack the truck in an balanced manner. I have OAK bookcases & an solid OAK dining room table with 6 chairs. Also, I have 2 upright freezers and 2 refrigerators/freezers. The washer dryer together weigh almost 500 pounds, according to my local Maytag dealer. Therefore, loading these 2 trucks & the trailer is important to me.

Wednesday, I went to the local U-Haul station, which the man has operated for over 10 years. I asked him what the PAYLOAD was in the 26’ truck & also the payload in the 6 x 12 foot enclosed trailer. He didn’t know what I meant by “PAYLOAD”.

I explained—and he kept looking at all of the literature he had from U-Haul. Everything says how many CUBIC FEET i can load, but not the weight inside the truck itself. He kept saying it didn’t matter- I kept saying it certainly DID matter.

Then a prolonged phone call to the U-Haul questions center. I got even more convoluted answers there. Since the Patriot Act, there are now random pullovers at the scales for U-Haul trucks—supposedly because they are looking for humans being transported inside the trucks. I don’t want to be hamstrung with being held up because someone at a scales thinks I am overloaded. I also don’t want handling or tire issues while making the move.

As of writing this, I still don’t have a satisfactory answer & am going to contact another U-Haul location where the main business is truck repairs. Maybe they can understand my worry.

Another example of how stupid today’s employees are—it actually took some time to explain PAYLOAD to all of them. They kept telling me the GVW of the truck-—which is the total weight of the truck & the contents.

It is an ugly truth that (insert color, religion) man has murdered (insert color, religion) man throughout history. It is also a truth to say that the so-called native American is a conquered people (oops, somebody call the politically correct police). Finally, if "white" America was really evil, there would be NO native Americans left with nary a trace of their history.
