Title: Trump and the War of Northern Aggression
Post by: Ben on October 13, 2018, 08:46:05 AM
Here's one of the more blatant cases of "fake news". To the point even some on the left are saying, "knock it off".

Trump gave a speech in which he said "Lee was a great General". Of course that's not all he said. In context, he was setting up a statement that as great as Lee was, Grant was better, and a "winner". The left, including, and apparently spearheaded by the MSM, has just taken the "Lee was a great General" part and is running with it in the racism race.

Man, they (MSM) are really running with this, My favorite comment at the Twitchy link:

Only @cnn would try to conflate talking about a man's ability to lead troops with also supporting the cause he fought for and then cry and wonder why hemorrhoids and some forms of cancer are more popular than they are.

Replying to @TCC_Grouchy @JohnGaltReport
Talking about the Confederacy (Lee and Grant) and asking Black people to honor him was just idiotic. Completely Separately: The party has a racism problem.


I'm pretty sure Grant fought for the North.   Any one want to chip in and buy Soledad a book about Grant ??

Descendant. As if that confers some hereditary generalship on him.

I'm a direct (not "collateral) descendant of a Supreme Court justice. Does that mean I can go to Washington and hear cases? Does that mean the media will be asking me for my opinion on Kavanaugh's nomination and confirmation?

Just remember, it's not "deranged" if someone is acting on false and misleading information.

What if the information is so false and so misleading that you'd have to be deranged to believe it?

That could be a game changer.  You might even start to hear impeachment talk among Republicans.
