When did it become acceptable for politicians, and their media helpers, to target private citizens for their political opinions? A pair of incidents this week revealed just how routine such bullying has become.
In the wake of the mass shooting in El Paso, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) released the names of a few dozen San Antonio residents who had donated to President Trump’s re-election campaign. (Castro is chairman of the presidential campaign of his twin brother, Julián.)
Castro was apparently unconcerned by the prospect that these people — retirees and small-business owners — would be inevitably targeted for harassment. They had voted the wrong way and donated to the wrong campaign, and they needed to be punished.

And Universal (Comcast) made a movie where Trump supporters are hunted down and presumably murdered.
Are you a proud Comcast subscriber?
This is openly Soviet style social control.
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) needs to be removed from Congress or at the very least censured! Should some nutcase attack anyone on this list, Joaquin should be prosecuted, too!
Jokey needs a public beating.
I read some tweets today wherein liberals were sneering that conservatives must be ashamed of themselves if they don’t want their campaign donations publicized, “What have they got to hide that they are ashamed of?”
They don’t fear us so they can brag about their donations. We know they will do anything to destroy their targets. They claim they fear us and we must be restrained. This is all so crazy and yes, Soviet of them.
I saw a segment of Inside Edition where they described the campaign fundraiser for DJT - the guy with the gym - as “controversial.” So now even a fundraiser for the incumbent President is “controversial.”
Today’s media turns my stomach.
Alinsky on an industrial scale.

Mine too. But it just a higher degree of saturation. In the 50’s Operation Mockingbird was discovered and there were public hearings.

A year ago or two I watched some black and white footage of a media empire head admitting that the CIA was present in news organizations. I read some material featuring Arlen Specter and a few others, including Ted Koppel (of all people). They met with Specter leading as the head of CIA hearing the concerns of the people about the presence of CIA in news organizations, missionary teams over seas etc. The representative of the missionary teams refused to attend having already stated that the perception that missionaries had anything to do with the CIA was getting them killed.
Ted Koppel was actually impressive back then - he pushed back on the presence of CIA in news organizations.
But the CIA doesn’t “leave” an asset. They just continue to take it over, as if we are a foreign country. Anderson Cooper was an intern at the CIA. I don’t believe that’s where his involvement stopped. The CIA has a lock on the media now, with very few exceptions.
The Deep state wants Trump gone and they have pulled out all the stops, using their version of Soviet Pravda to control the message - and now the message the CIA is broadcasting through Operation Mockingbird (the MSM) is that we are the enemy and we are dangerous and worthy of hatred and contempt.
Since Republicans and law enforcement have turned their backs on helping/protecting Americans.
>> Today’s media turns my stomach.
Today’s media is Comcast, Disney, and now ATT/CNN.
This needs repeating. America fought the Cold War against Communism. Now it has become a cancer in our Republic.
Where have you been?!
This has been going on for quite some time. Have you lived a sheltered life or something?!
OK guys, now they’re TARGETING us.
It’s official.
What’s the game plan?
I didn’t want to, but now we have to start going to protests and be willing to throw down and let the left know they won’t just get a free ride at us.
It’s either we go meet them or they will CERTAINLY meet us.
If someone gets hurt because of what that POS SP#C castro did, he should be charged with a crime.
Instead, he publicly embraced parts of the anti-gun agenda.
Then, he publicly ordered the politically corrupt FBI to investigate “white nationalism” (whatever that is?).
Suppose a family member of someone who was doxxed by the Castro Boyz is hurt or worse by a lefty loon, and that person “takes action” against the Castro Boyz... The chances of jury nullification might just increase...
The universe is about love. The liberals are not about love. Do the math.
As a trained fighter, you know the reality of personal confrontation. Few have the fortitude to deal with that. And as the real fights go, they tend to have a long-lasting, regrettable memory. As a nation, we don’t want to go there — again.
In reality, we’re fighting a financial & licensing battle — notwithstanding the potential for govt brown-shirts.
It’s a simple problem that concerns the abuse of govt issued FCC licenses and tech patents. Deal with these areas where the public is being abused, and the problems will go away. And that’s ultimately up to the Executive branch to decide.
