[Henry Hawk]

And now we find out Neil Gorsach founded a club called "Fascism Forever" while in high school.  You just can't make this kind of shit up.

Apparently you CAN MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!

Like many other things being reported.........add this to the fake news dept...

Yeah, I didn't pass this along because I saw that it originated from the Daily Mail and I recognize that as a tabloid, unlike most neocons who post shit from that rag constantly.

Okay, but it did appear in the yearbook.  From that Snopes article:

----------
[Gorsuch] wrote that he founded and led the "Fascism Forever Club," though those with knowledge of the school back in the 1980s say there was no such club. The mention of it in the yearbook was a tongue-in-cheek attempt to poke fun at liberal peers who teased him about his fierce conservatism.

It was "a total joke," said Steve Ochs, a history teacher at Georgetown Prep who was the student government advisor during Mr. Gorsuch's junior and senior years at the Bethesda, Md., school.
----------


So it was a joke. 

But where are we when fascism is a joke?  All the people who died because of it, and it's a joke.  Well, I guess when you have a straight-up fascist at the right hand of a president, then I guess that's where we are.

C'mon! If me or myself (no pun) had posted something like this YOU would have had a conniption fit!

I cannot stomach this forum anymore........to be quite honest.

Not true if you had come around after something was pointed out.  I acknowledged that the club never existed, but did point out - from your own article no less - that the yearbook entry was indeed there. 

Then I simply asked the question if fascism is really something we should be joking about. 

And BTW, my comments about Bannon stand, and are supported by evidence.

Pointing out racism in others does not make one a racist. 

If he were white I'd say the same thing. I am pointing out an attitude not a race you are the ones who keep mentioning race therefore you must have a problem with it.

You are so damn quick to jump ON EVERYTHING reported........then you make the remark..."you can't make this shit up"........when YES, you can!  and it has happened several times since Trump has gained the spot light...that is why he calls it FAKE NEWS! 

Journalist and liberals are imploding! Berkeley is RIOTING because of the 1st amendment! They don't like a person who was PAID to speak there and they burn and destroy!!

It is WAY more embarrassing to our nation than ANYTHING Trump has said or done!

And I no longer find this shit amusing, but rather sick to my stomach that the democrat party is making a fool of themselves.

Well it's certainly debatable that this is indeed "fake news" as that entry was in the yearbook as the Snopes article noted.  It can easily be seen why one would think, at first glance, that such a club existed at the time due to the yearbook entry.  Snopes cited additional research and interviews that showed a club didn't exist, but the yearbook entry did.  So I'm not sure if "fake news" 100% applies in this instance. 

BTW, haven't you called Snopes a liberal site before?

As Ex noted before, those people burning and destroying things are largely anarchists who are disturbing what are supposed to be peaceful protests, and not liberals imploding.

As to journalists, I haven't seen any of them imploding. 

And I no longer find this shit amusing, but rather sick to my stomach that the democrat party is making a fool of themselves. 

How are members of the Democratic party making fools of themselves?  They're not doing anything now that the Republican party hasn't done - in some cases to a worse extreme - for the past 6 years. 

[Locutus]

BTW, Trump labels as "fake news" anything that he thinks paints him in a bad light even if it's true. 

Ever hear of the Bowling Green Massacre?

Then why isn't the democrat party denouncing this group?  Why isn't there an outrage?  Just because a conservative was going to talk....there is rioting?

There was rioting the day of the inauguration!
There was rioting at several Trump rallies!
There was rioting in Ferguson!
There was rioting over Trayvon!
There was rioting in Baltimore!
There was rioting by the Occupy Wall Street!

Were they just anarchists??

Liberals are sore losers!  I don't know how else to label it!  They LOST the election!  When Obama won, we had a Tea Party movement, that was peaceful.  We organized and we regained control of the house and senate!  If the liberals continue to allow this BS!  They will lose MORE congress to the point that the right will dominate this country like you could you never imagine!

Aw...do you need to go to your safe place, snowflake?

You mean like the size of his inauguration crowd?  Do you think it was bigger than Obama's in 2009? 

Berkeley is RIOTING because of the 1st amendment! They don't like a person who was PAID to speak there and they burn and destroy!!

Speaking of fake news...it has already been established that the people who were protesting douche bag Milo were not the people burning and rioting.

And I no longer find this shit amusing, but rather sick to my stomach that the democrat party is making a fool of themselves.

Keep telling yourself that.  I'm just happy I didn't die in the Bowling Green Massacre!

Seems to me I remember Obama doing that also.

Can you be more specific?  I'm pretty sure this is another of your delusions.

His total audience, including the social media audience, the TV audience (world wide) is what HE was referring too....Hell, I watched it most of it on facebook, while I was at work.  I know many folks who watched it from their iPhones or on their computers.
