Urban Progressive Privilege: Defunding For Ye, But Not For Me
By Mitch Berg
Rashida Tlaib, antisemitic Democrat Congresswoman from the Detroit area and one of the most strident advocates of defunding the police…
…intentionally exposed two victims of oppressed classes to being murdered by the systematically racist police in her neighborhood.

I have questions, Mitch:
1. Is defending the police antisemitic?
– If so, please explain the connection. If not, why conflate the two?
2. Do systemically racist cops target members of oppressed groups for murder?
– If so, please delineate between well founded fear, or caution and objective racism.
3. What defines “an oppressed group” in the current year?

It’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. Exposing them like this amuses them.

Well, that was kind of weird. JDM and I posted comments directed NY the same thoughts simultaneously.
Message there for our congenial host, thinks I.

directed by the same thoughts…
Damn autocorrect

Correction 2
Is “defunding” the police antisemitic?

Heh, BN. Odd that, yes.
Mine was kinda something in the same vein as a comment I aborted from the Karen’s House post. It was in response to that “I make it a matter of principle not to heckle other peoples personal healthcare decisions“. My take was well, maybe you should make a new principle because those assholes use their so-called personal healthcare decisions to create identities (aka uniforms) which they use to create a two class society. One in which they can persecute and subjugate those who don’t wear the same uniform. The last three years are forgotten?
Leftist leaders, like Rashida, *know* that gotcha posts like this one are the only pressure they’ll suffer for their hypocrisy because their opponents make it a principle to not heckle them. And when someone on the right did heckle them over the last six, seven years, that someone was considered icky and mean and the target of skepticism (not one of Our People, don’t you know).
The present crop of Demo-commie (as bosshoss would put it) leaders are the fruit of this National Review, be nice but firm approach.

I’m glad you appropriately tagged her as anti Semitic, because she is. And quite a vicious one at that.
August 31st, 2022 at 8:43 am
I’ll give Tlaib credit. She doesn’t talk that way to her supporters, but when push comes to shove, she supports law enforcement in her own neighborhood. So should we all.
August 31st, 2022 at 9:44 am
BN, let me spell it out for you… antisemitic is racist, and she is all about anti racism. See the connection now? Simple, when you set aside your jew-hatred aside, no?

bike, are you saying we should all be vocally supporting “defund the police” while being NIMBY? Are you ill? Did your brain get completely addled by propaganda firehose?
August 31st, 2022 at 10:01 am
JPA; nope. I’m saying that in this case, contrary to her ordinary rhetoric, she got it right. She is saying that criminals ought to be in jail, or if not there, at least fearful of the same.
No doubt she gets it wrong most of the time, especially when talking to her supporters and voting base. But when it comes down to her own personal safety, she got it right.

and we should all rejoice, right bike? we should ALL strive to be hypocrites. Oh, wait, of course you would think that, duh…
August 31st, 2022 at 11:03 am
Or instead of shouting “hypocrite”, it might be more effective to simply say “Tlaib is all for punishing criminals in her neighborhood. Why not ours, too?”

Bubba has the right of it.
