Hillary Clinton Denounces the ‘Alt-Right,’ and the Alt-Right Is Thrilled
NY Times ^ | Aug. 26, 2016 | ALAN RAPPEPORT

As Hillary Clinton assailed Donald J. Trump on Thursday for fanning the flames of racism embraced by the “alt-right,” the community of activists that tends to lurk anonymously in the internet’s dark corners could hardly contain its glee.

Mrs. Clinton’s speech was intended to link Mr. Trump to a fringe ideology of conspiracies and hate, but for the leaders of the alt-right, the attention from the Democratic presidential nominee was a moment in the political spotlight that offered a new level of credibility. It also provided a valuable opportunity for fund-raising and recruiting.

Do they have a meeting to develop time lines, talking points, news stories, astro turfing, etc.? Or does the the dnc/clinton campaign simply orchestrate what each media stooge does and says and when they do it?

I am not alt-right.
I am an American.
I believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.

Thank you.

How many have heard of the alt right before this? I know I had not.

I have only heard of it in the last month or so. I've been looking at websites that I have been told are "alt-right" (such as Takimag) for years, but I had not heard this term until recently.

Part of the coordinated efforts to sully our savior and leader of Make America Great Again, Donald J. Trump, the next president of the United States of America!

Alt Right, Control Alt delete, Hillary, whose emails are not the only thing that should be scrubbed.

What is particularly galling is how much the left has been able to finance the destruction of our country with taxpayer money.
We are literally paying for our own demise.

The original wikileaks salvo that was fired, explained all of this. Often the DNC gets a medias article to review before their own editors.so receive talking points. A few weeks ago that talking point was to link Trump to the russians. Trump, countered them, but demoting manafort and other ways. While the rest of the media doesn’t take the wikileaks seriously trump does. He probably has seen the ones that discuss actual cheating tactics, and is actively countering them.

The fact of the matter is that hillary is way off message, and that is right where we want her.

It’s really not too bright to call the majority of Americans the “KKK” and Nazis. Because that’s essentially what she’s doing by lumping all Americans with traditional values in with her little imaginary vast alt right-wing conspiracy.

Did her conspiracy theory Putin controls Trump while saying Trump was part of a vast alt-right conspiracy help her or hurt her?
Scott Adams of Dilbert fame said it helped, while other personalities say it hurt her.

It’s an update on the vast right wing conspiracy Alinsky tactic, this time bringing in skin-heads and neo-Nazis to discredit Trump supporters.
Make no mistake she is painting us at FreeRepublic with her broad brush and I think we should reject the term out of hand and not embrace it.

#ParanoidHillary was trending on Twitter.

All she has done is make herself look herself look stupid.

Here is a screenshot from her speech:

Where the Alt-Right key on the keyboard?

Just to the right of the space bar on mine. The Alt-Left is just to the left of that same space bar.

There are several keys which I have no idea about their function. Such as the flag thing between my Ctrl and left Alt keys.

I am an American. I believe in the Constitution and the rule of law. I believe the Democrat Party has become the Communist Party.

Do you support RINOs? No? Well I guess we are discovering that makes us alt-right.
