Republican Calls NFL Players Who Kneel For National Anthem 'Baboons'

Should you be unfortunate enough to be following the likes of Dinesh D'Souza or Charlie Kirk (among others) on social media you'll notice a particular pattern in their posts: everything bad is left-wing; everything good is right-wing. D'Souza probably uses this narrative the most on the Right, as historians such as Kevin Kruse have destroyed D'Souza's "Democrats are the real racists" talking points so many times that Kruse has stated that he's actually becoming bored of dissecting D'Souza's claims.

A story that recently broke was that of Carla Maloney, secretary of the Republican Party of Beaver County who labelled NFL players who famously took a knee during the national anthem as "baboons", which she posted to her personal Facebook account.

According to a report from the Beaver County Times, these comments were posted under the name "Carla Belich Fueller" and they're as bad as you think they are.

The post is as follows: "Tired of these overpaid ignorant blacks telling me what I should believe in. I will tell you what I believe in and that is our flag, the National Anthem and America, period, end of story. You don't like it here go to Africa see how you like it there. We are all Americans, not African American not Hispanic American. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN.

Maloney apparently sees no irony in saying "we're all American" and "go to Africa" in the same sentence, but I digress. Nevertheless she continued: "Steelers are now just as bad as the rest of the overpaid baboons, you respect your flag, country and our national anthem. How many men and women have lost limbs or died to protect this country and you baboons want respect".

There's more to this post but honestly her disgusting bigotry and racism has already been laid bare for all to see. Maloney's Facebook account has now been deleted and see has been denounced by the Republican Committee for Beaver County chairman Chip Kohser, but he resigned shortly after this story broke.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p

MSNBC News Caught Faking Poll Numbers To Elevate Biden Above Bernie Sanders

If you were to believe recent polling figures in regards to the Democratic Primaries, Joe Biden is by far and away one of the most popular political figures in America, with his 2020 poll numbers giving him a 37 and 32 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the recent past. There has however been issues with some of the polls that have been undertaken and given Joe Biden his huge lead, such as the one pictured above, which shows Bernie leading Biden by 2% (27%-25%) among non-white voters, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSNBC segment regarding the poll, in which Biden magically gains three percentage points in order to go ahead of Bernie in these demographics. Here’s another poll (CNN) that was used in order to show Sanders “plummeting support” and as you can see the poll includes zero respondents of anyone under the age of fifty. The problem being that Sanders base of support is largely made up of younger voters, so to not include any in a poll on Sanders is simply di

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different
