What the Covington High School Incident Tells Us About America

On Jan. 19, a moment arrived that nobody anticipated and quickly became a national Rorschach test. The moment came when a group of students had an encounter of some sort with a Native American elder on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Their encounter became a social media sensation. Despite nearly two hours of video footage and extensive media coverage, there is still no clear agreement as to what happened that day.

To a Liberal, facts don’t matter.

Scott Rasmussen has a head full of cow dung. This is not Rashomon, this is reality. If you watch the film you see

The injun walks up to the kid and gets in his face. With a drum.

The kid smiles

From this the insane liberals devine that the kid was the aggressor and Scott Razzberry expects us to afford them respect as just another point of view.

Liberals have been conditioned to act like a mob when spurred by the mass media. Their brains shut off and they go into a frenzy, attacking anyone they’re directed to attack. You cannot reason with a mob, their behavior is government purely by pack instinct.

Yeah, but imagine if the protesters were TEA partiers, demonstrating peacefully. Chicago police would be told to bust heads.

You’re assuming that their brains are in the “on” position in the first place.

It tells us how all this talk about diversity is pure BS. Diversity is simply about replacing the white person with a non-white person. They hate white people and what to eradicate us from the planet. They use terms like white privilege or white supremacy to mask their true intent.

Why does the whinyass little phony “survivor”, David Hoggboy, and his PR Lesbian friend get all kinds of respect from the “MEDIA” but Cathoic Americans from Covington are ripped by the maggots in the “MEDIA”. HYPOCRITES!!!

You are right. Liberals are primarily concerned with feelings and intentions. They have been conditioned, some might even say indoctrinated to believe that leftist liberals and their associated protected groups intentions are always good, and that conservatives intentions are always bad. As you point out, objective evidence does not matter and they will quite happily ignore it in favor of what they “know.” So it does not matter what they see or hear of that encounter. It does not matter what first hand witnesses say. It does not matter what has come to light regarding past statements and actions of alleged “victims” that day. The leftist liberals “know” what happened, what was “really” going on, what was in the hearts and minds of everyone there. Yes that makes them delusional. Yes leftist liberals are no-excrement for real mentality ill to a not insignificant degree.

Wasn’t liberalism found to be mental disease?

“...an encounter of some sort with a Native American elder”


As soon as I see him referred to as an “elder” I kind of turn off the article. It’s as if writer believes the kids were supposed to defer to him and his little drum and show him some respect. This “elder” isn’t of retirement age yet.

On a completely different note, I’m reminded of a meeting I attended where we were told that Social Security was unfair. Groups with lower life expectancies—and Indians were specifically mentioned—should get to start drawing benefits earlier than those with longer life expectancies—like whites.

Rasmussen is off base here. It became clear after viewing the longer videos [many videos] of the events, that Nicholas Sandmann, the 16-yo school boy did noting wrong and was extremely polite to the drum-beating fake Viet Nam veteran.
