Leftist Rage at David Brooks for Defending Covington Catholic Students
Newsbusters ^ | January 22, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 01/23/2019 5:24:23 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Did columnist David Brooks put his New York Times gig at risk on Monday? Most people at liberal mainstream media outlets that have reported on the incident in Washington D.C. on Friday involving the Covington Catholic high school students, after having been made aware of the longer video and more facts about what actually happened, seem to be using the weasel type of position of saying something along the lines of "perhaps the incident is not quite like what it initially seemed but..."

However, Brooks did not go that route. Instead he gave a full, flat out defense of those students as we shall see.

As could be expected the left went berserk over Brooks' column, "How We Destroy Lives Today," not only where the usual loons reign such as at the Democrat Underground but in the comments that accompany his column as well. Here are some of the observations of the incident by Brooks that caused the left to go just plain nuts:

Back in Nebraska, Omaha tribal Chairman Elmer Blackbird did not return calls seeking comment about Phillips’ vigil.

Privately, another tribal leader said Phillips is regarded back in Nebraska as a well-intentioned brother struggling to cope with a troubled childhood. The leader said the Omaha Tribe generally avoids the type of activism Phillips prefers.

“He’s just trying to find his way,” the leader said. “Let him find it.”

“In this case the facts happened to support the right-wing tribe. But that’s not the point.”

Well, uh, yeah it actually is.

Sorry to be off topic, but what exactly is a Black Hebrew Israelites? Does it all have to be said when addressing these people? Thank you.

Why would I fall for bummy Indians any more than I fall for bummy blacks or whites? He looks AA to me. If I’m wrong, it won’t be the first time.

Since I read history as a hobby, I long ago dropped the notion that Indians were peaceful.

The Nazis loved their little Hogg boy’s smirk but they hate the faces of the anti-Nazi kids from Covington. The “Immoral” Nasty Nan Piglosi hates the way the Covington kids don’t “sparkle” like her little illegal alien freeloaders “sparkle”.

SO, WHY DIDN’T THE CHIEF DIFFUSE THE SITUATION BY TAKING HIS TOM TOM TO THE BLACK HEBREW SIDE, AND GET THEM TO QUIET DOWN THEIR ANGER AND RHETORIC?

Cause them m’f*kers would have clobbered him but good if he'd gotten into their faces like he did the 15 year old white student. Them Black Hebrew Israelites are very nasty folks. Seen them at Times Square quite a few times. You don't want to mess with those f*ckers.

LOL...SIMPLE!..Because filming the “Black Hebrews” kicking the scrawny lil Indians ass doesn't fit the narrative of why both attended a Right to Life march...Had Chief Tom-Tom been wearing a MAGA hat and approached the “Hebrews” he'd have been jailed and arrested for inciting a Riot!.....

Its all about who wears “The Hat” folks.....

The NYT knows that they are legally exposed and highly likely of loosing any court case.
This is the ONLY reason they are backing off.

In the past 3 weeks we have seen:

White Man Shoots little Black Girl in Texas - FAKE
Buzzfeed says Trump instructing Cohen to lie - FAKE
Maga Teens harass poor innocent Indian Chief - FAKE

So anyone still think this isn’t a war?

I see. So the injun lied to promote racial strife. He needs to be in jail for the rest of his life. Since he won’t be, the entire legal system is broken.

Excellent article. Damn the left. May they burn in hell.

Someone gave the hats to the kids? This is serious. Might have been an undercover Russian operative. Mueller should investigate.

Even Chief Drum-beat knew enough not to challenge “crazy” face to face.

Two countries and almost 30 years. Same old sh%$, only softer. Two kids who stood up to the BS by of 'Native' SJWs.

For those who don't know, the latter photo was taken in 1990, as the Mohawks blockaded the Mercier Bridge near Montreal. A SQ (Quebec Provincial Police) officer was killed and the Canadian Army was called in to separate the Mohawks from the people of Oka (and the SQ, who were gunning for revenge on the Mohawks).

The soldier was a 19 year who, like the young man in Washington, did not respond to the taunts and aggression of the 'Native' When I first saw the picture of the young man, it brought back memories of the Oka Crisis and Pvt. Cloutier.

Brooks rarely gets it right. This time he stumbled on to right. The media was heinous. They want to hurt, kill, ruin a 16 year old boy. And its Ok because he is white. Like Jada Pinkett Smith saying she is triggered by Blond women. The reality is that its ok to say anything hateful against white people. No matter how hateful. But leer at a black person no matter how privileged that black person is, is racist.

Its the media. There is nothing we should do to support these hate mongers. The deference between the two political parties now, is that racism is practiced by the top of the democrat party and the bottom of the republican party.
