New Yorker: The Passion of Emma Gonzalez [Modern Day Joan of Arc]
Hot Air ^ | March 26, 2018 | John Sexton

When the big media push behind the pro-gun-control Parkland students was still getting revved up last month, I called it a “Children’s Crusade.” That seemed appropriate because of the reverence the media was showing these often ignorant and occasionally offensive teenagers. Even back then, that impulse was clearly focused most intensely on Emma Gonzalez, the student whose “We call BS” speech CNN transcribed and spread with an evangelists zeal on its homepage.

But today, the New Yorker has reached peak-Parkland-adulation with a piece titled “Joan of Arc and the Passion of Emma González.” The author isn’t directly comparing Gonazalez to Joan, at least not at first, but to a silent film about Joan from 1928. Still, the overriding desire to elevate Gonzalez to secular sainthood is palpable:

Sick. This Emma is a not Joann of Arc but a modern day version of Anarchist Emma Goldman.

Americans generally reject ugly lesbians opinions in total.

Ask Hillary.

This writer is to be reprimanded for using the word “crusade”. That word is verboten per our liberal overlords, because Muslims are offended by that word.

Sorry, but based on liberal criteria, everything this guy says must be discredited, for using a forbidden word.

Jean D’Arc and her troops used assault weapons of the day (swords, crossbows, pikes) to defeat the English at Orleans. She was also passionate about her faith in God.

It only seems that leftists can only make very superficial comparisons.

Little Miss Thing should google Joan of Arc to see how the story ends.

She is on IMDB.

Bottom right.

Compare to the pic of the kids laughing after the shooting
and before they went on camera.

Here in Maine, I saw a copy of “The New York Post” in a local supermarket.

This Gonzalez Nazi was on the front page, in color, wearing an olive green jacket with her arm and clenched fist thrust in the air. The caption said she and her co-horts were just getting started.

She should be swinging from a tree in front of the NRA’s headquarters with the rest of the Hitler Youth, because that’s exactly what these dirtbags are.....fascists.

Butch was also on the disgraceful cover of TIME magazine, complete with shredded jeans. I hope they make it a poster child for the skinhead left.

I saw a little bit of her speech at the rally, she is
a rock star wannabe...from the tears,the six minute
silence, and the dramatic walk-off at the end.

The only thing missing was the mic drop.

If one shreds that document, it has to be replaced by another. Nature abhors a vacuum.

That pic is photoshopped, sheesh. She was ripping up a target for practice.

Not that it makes what she did any better.
