Oh, sorry,...<i>I am not offended on behalf of Incans.</i><br /><br />Oh, sorry, How did I ever get confused?<br /><br /><i>I am offended on behalf of liberals….</i><br /><br />Then please stop that. I’m a liberal and I’ll take my own offense where I find it. I don’t need a numpty like you to take offense for me.<br /><br /><i>who Somerby repeatedly has tried to describe in dehumanizing and eliminationist terms.</i><br /><br />I’m offended that you used the nominative <i>who</i> instead of the proper objective <i>whom</i>. Which makes about as much sense as your statement. Nowhere does TDH use “eliminationist” language. As I recall, in both versions of <i>Body Snatchers</i>, the pod people, far from being eliminated, have the upper hand. TDH doesn’t mark the Incans as especially worthy of elimination. He even says they belong to the standard sorry story of human history. Their destruction came about from lack of immunity, hastened by a paralysis of their governance due to their ”crazy ideation.”<br /><br /><i>Somerby daily rants against the media here, undermining the only people who are speaking out against Trump's malfeasance in office.</i><br /><br />TDH thinks they’re doing it badly. And journalists aren’t the only people speaking out against Trump. You think journalists introduced articles of impeachment in the House?<br /><br /><i>And today, he does this using language familiar from the persecution of Hispanics by equating them with Aztecs….</i><br /><br />Sorry to be skeptical, but could I have some examples of Aztec-related slurs against Hispanics?<br /><br /><i>I don't find what Somerby does funny.</i><br /><br />I don’t either, but I’ve never seen his stand-up act. I’m not laughing at or with Somerby; I’m laughing at you.<br /><br /><i>But you yuk it up and enjoy yourself.</i><br /><br />Hey, you already claim the right to be offended on my behalf.

"Garrett Graff:...Taegan Goddard quotes Graff:<br /><br />"Garrett Graff: “The idea that Fox News represents a literal threat to our national security, on par with Russia’s Internet Research Agency or China’s Ministry of State Security, may seem like a dramatic overstatement of its own—and I, a paid contributor to its competitor CNN, may appear a biased voice anyway—but this week has made clear that, as we get deeper into the impeachment process and as the 2020 election approaches, Fox News is prepared to destroy America’s democratic traditions if it will help its most important and most dedicated daily viewer.”<br /><br />“The threat posed to our democracy by Fox News is multifaceted: First and most simply, it’s clearly advancing and giving voice to narratives and smears backed and imagined by our foreign adversaries. Second, its overheated and bombastic rhetoric is undermining America’s foundational ideals and the sense of fair play in politics. Third, its unique combination of lies and half-truths has built a virtual reality so complete that it leaves its viewers too misinformed to fulfill their most basic responsibilities as citizens to make informed choices about the direction of the country.”<br /><br />---------------<br /><br />Today we hear that Russia funded Lev Parnas and Rudy Guiliani's efforts to smear Joe Biden via a Ukraine investigation instigated by Trump. These conspiracy theories involving the Ukraine are also part of Russian disinformation intended to re-elect Trump.<br /><br />It is time to hold Fox accountable for their participation in this conspiracy to place a Russian puppet in the presidency. This is an invasion of our country as surely as any military attack and we need to defend ourselves from it.<br /><br />Somerby is attacking the wrong journalists. It is the right who is complicit in this foreign attack on our democracy. By attacking the remaining legitimate news sources, Somerby gives aid to this foreign attack. <br /><br />This is serious and it is time we all took it seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-81528545283489730632019-12-12T10:58:51.244-05:002019-12-12T10:58:51.244-05:00"TDH may be a troll"

So you admit that his campaign person did that. Bernie's campaign was punished by denying him access to his own donor files, but a court ruled the DNC could not do that because it would hinder his participation in the election. Why was the person fired if he didn't do it? <br /><br />2. Bernie and his followers dislike the DNC because Bernie doesn't want to be a Democrat but thinks he is entitled to resources and help from the DNC anyway. He thinks the rules, which are clear to all candidates, shouldn't be applied to him and considers elections rigged against him when he doesn't follow procedures and is hurt by his campaign's incompetence. Yet, he doesn't mind working caucuses and taking Russian help and ignoring FEC rules too, if it gets him what he wants.<br /><br />3. You should read the Mueller report before you go around spreading conservative conspiracy theories. It details Russian hacking efforts in detail. <br /><br />4. This belief that you cannot know who gave the leaked info to Wikileaks is wrong. These were crimes that can and have been investigated. <br /><br />5. My "metrics" do not exclude Warren. She isn't an old fart waving his arms around who cannot figure out how to appeal to women and minorities. She hasn't called herself a Democratic Socialist and alienated the Democratic Party by refusing to be a team player. <br /><br />You call on me to make my comments less of an attack, yet you attack me every time you visit this blog.

Here Somerby uses the techniques that have been used in the past to target and harm defined groups.<br /><br />The Trump campaign has made a point of targeting the media, to the point of inciting violence against them at his rallies. Media have required secret service protection, been placed in cages to shield them from his supporters, while he incites violence from the stage.<br /><br />Somerby daily rants against the media here, undermining the only people who are speaking out against Trump's malfeasance in office. I don't just disagree with Somerby, I believe he is doing harm to our nation, has joined the dark side and is giving aid and comfort to Trump's regime every time he calls journalists pod people (and similar dehumanizing terms). And today, he does this using language familiar from the persecution of Hispanics by equating them with Aztecs who practiced blood sacrifice (usually of virgins or children).

I did not confuse them with the Inkas or Mayans or Toltecs. I said that attributing the worst traits of past cultures to today's descendants was not only wrong but has an ugly history of misuse in order to stereotype and incarcerate Hispanics in So Calif, that continues with Trump's vendetta against Hispanic immigrants, some of whom are from Bolivia among many other places. What do you think Trump means when he says there are some really bad guys among them? Gangs are bad enough without being beefed up with images of blood sacrifice and brutality drawn from books like the one Somerby is quoting, specifically to illustrate how bad humanity has been.<br /><br />And, yes, I do equate Somerby's misuse of history with hate speech. It is wrong to do this. In fact, it is indefensible, yet you are defending him on the grounds that I cannot tell Mexico from Peru?
