Our local paper--the Houston Chronicle--has LOTS of headlines on their website that are total mismatches with the actual story. That is one outlet where I have often seen things happen like the Fox example. I have seen it on other websites, too, but the Chronicle is one that does it a lot...


It's pretty much a trope these days that when someone goes nuts and shoots a bunch of people or drives a truck into a crowd, that inevitably, the person's neighbor will be interviewed and she (always "she," for some reason) will say something along the lines of "he was such a nice, quiet young man." Usually, though, this appears as a follow-up to existing news stories.

Where Fox News dropped the ball is by reporting that this guy was a real sweetheart instead of the actual news, that he committed a hate crime against a Muslim airport worker. Reporting that he was a veritable angel serves to imply that it's really all right to assault a Muslim if you're a real swell guy otherwise. What possible relevance to the incident does it have that the criminal in question was nice to his mom and liked puppies? Fox was trying to put its usual Trumper slant on things--assaulting Muslims really isn't so bad, and shouldn't be a crime anyway, because they're all terrorists.

Trudeau understands what Trump, Trumpers, conservatives, and other racist bigoted assholes do not. Diversity strengthens and improves a country. Canada is one of the most diverse nations on earth and has always had a liberal immigration policy, It's worked great for them.

So Canada will become more diverse and cosmopolitan while we strive, futilely, to Make America White and Stupid Again. Yep, we'd rather have Joe Sixpack, sitting on his couch, belching and scratching himself, than a MOOOOOZLEEEEM refugee!!!! They're all terrorists!!!! Every single one!!! And their pets, too!

I don't think those comments are really helpful.

I disagree. I think they say exactly how many liberals really think of anyone who does not swallow their worldview. It is a troll post, but after watching numerous interviews of liberals on YT since the election this is exactly how many feel. Some are just a tad more vocal and direct than others.

Of course they aren't. That is just the space that particular poster likes to occupy. He overstates just about everything to an almost laughable extreme. He advocates the death of "Trumpers" (whatever the hell they are). I thought he wasn't serious about actually wanting them dead, but he kind of insisted that he is.

The fact is that the United States is, and will remain, an incredibly diverse country. We will still have lots of immigrants from lots of places, including the seven right now under the EO. They may get asked more questions upon entry and it may be a bit harder for them to get in. Hopefully, we'll slow down illegal entry. Maybe we'll figure out how to deport a person who is a criminal eligible for deportation and actually keep them out.

Hopefully, unfair usage of programs, like the H1B program, will be stopped. Disney being allowed to replace highly trained and paid workers with workers being paid less on H1B Visas due to a non-existent shortage of workers is ridiculous.

Refugee charged with raping woman on bus.

Looks like he is somehow not facing deportation and is even out on bail.

Keep demanding we let more and more in unvetted liberals!

OMG
A crime was committed
How many white male us citizens have been convicted of rape
The number I assure you is staggering

1 rape by an immigrant, the right is outraged
tens of thousands of rapes a year committed by US Citizens, the right yawns

Not talking about white males.

Talking about muslim refugees that liberals want more of.

Liberals deny rapes and harassment of women by these same refugees, so just going to continue reminding how they are actually behaving.

Looks like the refugees are a lot more law abiding then about the 60k rapes a year committed by US citizens against US citizens
You point out 1 rape
I point out thousands
lol
