Back in 2010, when the Tea Party was at high tide, there was a wave of sightings of some disturbingly racist and violent signs at Tea Party rallies. These signs got all kinds of media attention.
Thing is, when people were able to crowd-source the people carrying the signs, a huge portion of them turned out to be ringers – people from leftist groups who just happened to wind up in front of the news media with their objectionable signs. Not just a few, eitheri – there was a very high correlation.
Of course, some of the less curious members of the media just ran with it – killing the Tea Party and other obstreporous bitter clinging deplorables was just fine by them.
But before I MCed the 2010 Tax Day Tea Party rally, I made sure the organizers got the word out as publicly as possible – anyone with an off-color sign would be photographed, and publicized, and “outed” either way – but especially if they were lefty ringers bent on slandering the Tea Party.
Sounds like certain conservative groups need to re-learn this lesson.
How likely is the woman’s sign a hoax?
Is there a number over 100%?
Don’t threadjack to the point where you’re turning my comment section into your blog
How can you not see that is exactly and precisely what’s been done? Worse, its ignorant threadjacking using plagiarized, completely inane statements. At least DG put some effort onto her insane, stream of consciousness flow, not just cut and paste someone else’s.
How can interesting conversations happen when you have a ignorant troll spamming the comments with crap picked at random to change the subject?
Hey; your blog, you’re rules. But you’ll excuse me if I “notice”.

What is a ‘Doug’?
MP opined: “I disagree with the “burn it all down” people, Swiftee.”
I’m not advocating burning it all down, MP. I’m not really advocating anything at all. But I can read the tea leaves, and it smells like a foul brew for white people and Western civilization.
If America is going to be dragged into 3rd world status, and every indicator says it is, I’d rather it happen sooner than later for the exact reasons you stated. I’m not getting any younger, and I don’t fancy the idea of dragging an arthritic old body through the rubble.
The leftists are winning, because they’ve poisoned kids in public schools for the past 30 years, and have convinced them flooding the country with uneducated, unskilled, low IQ, high fertility peasants from every shit hole on the planet is the right thing to do.
When we go from the 40%we have now paying the country’s tab to 25%, and the 75% rent seeking, moocher electorate is demanding moar, the shtf anyway. Look at what is happening in the soci@list Scandanavian countries.
If my kids are going to have to fight that battle, I’d as soon be with them.
Oh, and congratulations to my TC friends! You’re the first major city in America to wake up to the Muslim call to prayer broadcast over loudspeakers 5 times a day.
Allah akbar? You betcha!
(ps: Y’all think this will stop after Ramadan? Hahahaha!)
Things can turn around very quickly, Swiftee. Cultural leftism appears strong, because it has taken over the institutions. But it has not taken over the hearts of the people. It can’t, because it is built on untruth. A man wearing a dress is a man wearing a dress, not a woman. We were created by God, not constructed by society. The State cannot love, or show compassion, or create justice.
All the truth has to do to win is to endure, and it cannot do otherwise.
“Cultural leftism appears strong, because it has taken over the institutions. But it has not taken over the hearts of the people”
Maybe so, but the institutions are what keeps a modern industrialized society moving.
When you can lose your job for stating the plain, scientific fact that cutting your genitals off and wearing a dress makes you a mutilated, mentally ill man, not a woman; when you can find yourself unable to contract for banking services, or credit cards for noticing the spreading hatred for Western culture and white folks; when a court can rule that a woman has the right to chemically “transition” a boy into a enuich, but not to refuse to give him a vaccine, does it really matter what’s in your heart?
Things will turn around when enough people demand it. Our problem is, the ratio of those who move here with the intent to turn our cities into models of their unsanitary, destroyed, violent places of birth is approaching the point of majority rule.
Regarding widespread testing, my daughter’s future father in law is involved in getting COVID testing going at Mayo, and he points out that there’s really no lack of tests at all. The problem is that you’ve got some fairly high alpha and beta error, hence a positive test for either virus or antibodies is wrong about 20% of the time.
Now, are you going to protect nursing homes with a test that wrongly passes/fails people that often? I didn’t think so, either. Testing is great, but it’s no substitute for getting Ro below 1.
