Why the Big Lie About Steve Bannon?
PJ Media ^ | November 15,2016 | DAVID P. GOLDMAN

Posted on 11/15/2016 1:45:45 PM PST by Hojczyk

We have learned from the sewage-storm directed at Bannon that the Establishment plays dirty, and that the formerly Republican #NeverTrumpers aren't just misguided ideologues, but also yellow-bellied, gutter-crawling, backstabbing, bushwhacking liars. Hell hath no fury like a self-designated elite scorned.

They hate Steve Bannon because he beat them, fair and square, on the battlefield of social media. He is the president-elect's most effective general. Trump's enemies can't reverse the results of a national election, but they can try to cut the incoming president off from his popular base.

The charges against Steve Bannon are a tissue of lies without a modicum of merit.

Anyone can search the Breitbart Media archive for posts on Israel, Jews, and related topics, as I have, and determine that Steve Bannon's hugely successful media platform is 100% pro-Israel.

Not only that: Breitbart consistently reports on the dangers of anti-Semitism around the world.

Not a single article appeared in Breitbart.com during the past two years that could not have appeared in Israel Hayom, the leading Israeli daily.

The scumbags in the media flock to lies like flies to horse crap.

I try to keep a larger spiritual view. This is a mode of sin. Sin is a situation in which the person has been dominated by the devil with his evil ideas, defying God.

However, those who profess to be righties, sometimes are also doing it for superficial reasons — e.g. for pride of the economic status it helps them achieve.

Both port and starboard sides of a boat to hell will assuredly get there. And for the two sides to fight selfishly is the programmed dances on the way.

Good advice to all would be “If you don’t see it now, just have patience. It’ll become clear.”

I wouldn't bring it up, if I was in your shoes. The three of you are adults, and can have independent relationships. The fact that I won't take being called a bigot by somebody, even my best friend's son, doesn't affect the relationship I have with my best friend, and it doesn't affect the relationship he has with his son.

The left and media stooges are just knocking the rust off the Borking machine so it will be firing on all cylinders for Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee.

Is is he “homophobic”, too?
Mr. Bannon should try to get a clean sweep of Left’s epithets against conservatives!

The argument isn’t that Bannon is a racist anti-Semite, but that he give a platform (and thereby give succour) to racists and anti-Semites

The Washington Post give a platform to communists. I'm not claiming Bezos is a communist.

The left is after him because Brannon is effective and he despises the left. He has my support.

We are going to have to question EVERYTHING we read and hear from here forward. The press has been “outed” as liars. They really don’t care what they say. Liberals are amazing, they think up a dream, then decide the dream has come true and begin telling people about it. Obama today ... “great new infrastructure in the USA under his leadership” ... hell, he hasn’t even fixed a bridge let alone built one. But they will SAY anything. We thought this was a Hillary problem ... it is a LIBERAL problem. And the press is liberal.

What “Big Lie”?

You're kidding, right? The lies that he is racist and anti-Semitic and a white supremacist and so forth. Those big lies. The ones that the media has been spewing for the last week.


Regarding Republicans, all allegations are reported as fact by the media.

Even ex wife's allegations are reported as fact.

What is a lie? That he has made the website into a platform for the alt-right? Those are his own words.

And by doing so, he allows their doctrines to spread in wyas they might not be able to otherwise.

Do you deny that people like Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor are racists? Because that’s simply a denial of reality.

True. But you have to be careful with whom you associate, and to whom you give a forum.

If Steve Bannon has made his website such a platform for an ostensibly racist "alt-right", then I must say I'm rather surprised as the distinct lack of stories espousing any such silliness.

To me, that implies that the "alt-right" (a term I never heard of until Hillary Clinton mentioned it) must contain sizable amounts of people who are not racist at all.

White nationalists, anti-Semites, holocaust skeptics, and the like only look foolish when they try to spread their flawed doctrines. They don't do to well in the free marketplace of ideas, IMHO.

The only story I'm aware of which some might have objected to was a defense of displaying the Confederate flag, and there are clearly reasons to do that which don't relate to racism.

So if Steve Bannon has made his web site a "platform for the alt-right", either he's not doing a very good job at it, or the alt-right itself is simply not defined by its "white nationalist" boogeyman content, any more than the Democrat party is defined by the fact that there are 11 KKK members remaining in the entire country.

I guess I'd like to hear Mr. Bannon explain what he thinks the alt-right really stands for, and why he'd be proud of giving it a platform on his web site...

The people Breitbart identified as the leading thinkers of the alt-right say the one unifying principle of the alt-right is the centrality of race.

If you don’t buy into that, then you’re apparently not alt-right, according to its leading thinkers.

The "centrality" of race? What exactly does that mean?

I'd like to read whatever Steve Bannon might have to say about that or these "leading thinkers", because something doesn't add up.

Again, have you seen any content with that focus on Breitbart, ever? Even that Confederate flag piece I mentioned didn't take that angle...
