For the grifter selling the 'pedophile' panic, no low is too low

[Mac1958]

Who could have predicted that an insane, paranoid, conspiratorial, mythical, online ideology like QAnon would take over a major American political party?

...and capitalize on white grievance and bigotry.

Is that an admission that only white people care about protecting their children? Is that an admission that only non-whites prey upon children?

This is the part where you sputter and fume impotently because you don't know what the hell you're saying. You've just been told to be angry, and you're an obedient sheep.

It's funny how you demand to be taken seriously.

You don't get a say in how people raise their children. You're not entitled to that.

‘One of the grossest and yet most successful grifters in the culture wars — who is now pushing the right toward casually labeling everyone in sight a pedophile — is also one of the most cynically direct about his intentions.

From the heart of deep blue Western Washington, Christopher Rufo has risen to national prominence as a flaming red modern Joe McCarthy, inventing newfangled scares to rile the gullible and capitalize on white grievance and bigotry.

Rufo, who cut his political teeth in Seattle by attacking efforts to house homeless people as both a money-making scheme and a form of "ruinous compassion," moved on to invent the critical race theory freakout, practically from whole cloth.

He's now helping to push the repulsive "groomer" narrative that is racing feverishly through the hard right, a triumph of QAnon-like conspiracy in which schoolteachers, Disney, Democrats, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Mitt Romney are all blithely tarred as pedophiles or pedophile abettors.

It's a way of digging a channel for anti-gay and anti-trans hatred into the discourse, cloaking the wolf of bigotry in the sheep's clothing of "protecting children."’

No one is ‘grooming’ children to be gay or transgender – the notion is a lie.

Never heard of him, and he speaks for no one else but himself.
You are just doing what progressives do every.single.day. - place thoughts in other people's minds - and then want to admonish them for thinking it.

And righties promptly banish such monsters from their midst....You freaks protect and celebrate the preverts on your team.

Like who do the Democrats protect those of their own party?

Both were active pedophiles for decades.

What party did QAnon take over? LMAO

 

[Concerned American]

Jerry Sandusky and Dennis Hassert were Republicans.

Joe and Hunter Biden are democrats.

My point stands.

Back at ya. Joe and Hunter.

Hamlet was complaining about overacting by an actress in a play about a play.

 

[Moonglow]

Back at ya. Joe and Hunter.

Prove their convictions then.

 

[occupied]

Lot's of push back on this. What did Shakespeare say about protesting to much? Have someone explain it to you.

Why do you think people are just supposed to silently accept heinous allegations of child abuse? Damned right I'm pushing back on this. You people just made this personal. Pray you never run your mouth in front of the wrong person on this bullshit.

 

[daveman]

This whole three-ring circus of the Republicans does not care about accuracy, they do not care about kids, all they care about is destroying their nemesis the Democrats...

And that's terribly unfair, because the Democrats have been so compassionate and tolerant and interested in working with Republicans for the betterment of the nation.

Republicans.

Always know when you're over the target....The flak is most intense.

And that usually means you're about to be shot down in a ball of flames.
If that means cancellation..I'm not gonna cry.

Grooming is for pets and personal hygiene.
Only the alt-right politically weaponizes a term reserved for the worst of human beings (regardless of affliation) and
then seeks to apply it to everyone that doesn't agree with the CCR beliefs.

But, not unexpected for a belief system and ideology built on division pimping...and devoid of any policy success stories.

Not really, they have bipartisan committees to work on problems.

You assholes are still bellering about RUSSIA! stealing the '16 election, even though everybody -except you fucking loons- knows that the whole thing was a gigantic hoax.

Paranoid, conspiratorial, mythical ideology indeed.
