Title: Ocasio-Cortez Defends Barring Press From Town Hall
Post by: Lucifer on August 17, 2018, 03:15:04 PM
Where's the outrage?

https://www.mediaite.com/online/reporters-fire-back-after-ocasio-cortez-defends-barring-press-from-town-hall-so-people-would-feel-safe/

Quote
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — the New York-based Congressional nominee poised to make history this November by becoming the youngest woman ever elected to the House — has come under fire for barring the media from a public town hall this past Sunday. Now, her defense has prompted even more head-scratching from critics.

The political wunderkind, who has gained national notoriety for her stunning primary win over longtime Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY), took to Twitter Friday afternoon to say that she wanted to provide a forum for local residents “to feel safe discussing sensitive issues in a threatening political time.”

How could anyone fall for that crap?

What a lying bitch.

Her problem is if the press hear the ignorant dope talk, they would know she is even dumber than Sheila Jackson-Lee, the black woman with the two racist names.

She’s employing the HRC strategy ... the more people see her, the less they like her. Stay out of view, advance political career! The fact that it didn’t work for HRC ... irrelevant. Liberals double down on losing gambits.

 Just like Jackson-Lee, Maxine Waters, Wasserman-Shultz, etc.

 And she will be about as effective as those named above.  Just another wasted seat in congress.

^^^^^^I notice you're STILL not a Moderator.

My point was that anyone that ran as a Democrat would win in that district including, but not limited to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro (either brother), Che Guevera, Atilla the Hun, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ma Barker, the Three Stooges, the Spanish Inquisition...……...

Excellent lineup! To be absolutely fair, though, even Libs might balk at electing Fidel’s corpse. Or perhaps not. I can easily imagine millions of them voting for a partially embalmed HRC propped up on a rolling cart, sporting her permanent rictus.

Well, thousands of corpses are voting democrat.  It just makes sense.

Regarding HRC, it seems that already happened in the last election.  Remember the trouble they had getting the rolling cart up the stairs?  She kept falling over.

I feel the same about being a moderator.

However, I do want to point out that Pilot Spin arose because we were forcibly evicted from POA.  Many of us would have preferred a modicum of moderation rather than being shunned and then abruptly thrown out with no appeal or recourse.

I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition...
to run in that district. But Wikipedia indicates it is almost 50% Hispanic ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressional_district (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressional_district)  ), so not sure that would turn out well.

Ocasio-Cortez won't be able to stand up to the pressure of even a sympathetic Media who supports her Communist agenda.  That is pretty weak if you ask me.  It will be interesting to see if they turn on her if she keeps this up.  She is the David Hogg of elected office.  Fifteen minutes, and then obscurity.  I wonder what outlandish things she will say to keep her name in the Media.

Spin it any way you want it.  Pilot Spin was created because POA ran off the Spin Zone. 

Funny that POA itself was created because of overzealous moderation but they too succumbed to the disease of power.

Not much different than the pathetic snowflakes over at the purple board.

Created because some whiny, self-important snob at the red board drove them out, then they became the red board of another color, which brought about the POA, which succumbed to a pathetic dyke who wanted only people who agreed with her to have any voice, and now we are over here without a den mother, or dyke, telling people what they are allowed to say.

However, I still want to be a moderator so I can put someone on DOUBLE secret probation!

What on earth did he do?  He makes great big long posts and is very opinionated but I don't recall him ever crossing the line into personal attacks or getting too spin zoney?  I looked at his posts and the most recent listed is August 12 but says his last activity was this morning, so I guess they deleted whatever it was he said that got him banned? 

I HATE when they don't let you discuss bannings. Makes me want to leave that place yet again.

Once in a very great while, Nate would get mad and show a bit of impatience with an opposing viewpoint. But I never saw him say anything particularly lock or ban worthy. The usual case was that he presented a truth, in his matter-of-fact, conversational way, that made others uncomfortable. They, then, would take the thread to closure.

I have noticed Nate getting increasingly hostile and argumentative over the past year or so.  His "good old boy" attitude sort of morphed into a grumpy old man.

He appears to be back with some sort of apology to the wife for apparently making a derogatory comment about a pilot that died in an accident. (I didn't really read the whole thing;  I like Nate, but his posts are often too long to hold my attention. (Which may be more an indictment of my attention span than of his posts, especially before coffee.

I think you may be in error regarding the depths to which the MSM will descend. This girl is the ONE success story they have, and my guess is they will ride her like a frothing horse all the way to the HR win. We haven't heard anything yet. Once she's in office, the MSM will absolutely go ballistic and we will get 24/7 coverage of everything she says, does, and writes, including the consistency of her latest bowel movement.

The left media is desperate. In the absence of an actual statesman - they will pin their glory on the least objectionable far-left whatever the electorate dishes up. This girl could get drunk, proposition one of her male followers, strip nekkid and falling down drunk and she would still be elected, and garlanded.

They will protect and project and show only images and quotes that fit their desired outcome. As per usual.

I’ve just had an interesting exchange with a liberal friend who will not budge from the lib talking points, despite gentle proofs that her MSM-steeped brain is awash in falsehoods. “Becky, you are blind. Watch CNN, ABC, MSNBC, listen to NPR. We’re going to have to agree to disagree on politics.”

I would be willing to bet that Ms Ocasio-Cortex could stab someone to death in the middle of 5th Avenue and she wouldn't lose any followers over it. 

I started to say shoot, but clearly she is too timid to touch a gun and probably gets nauseated thinking about them.

If that's what got him the ban hammer I am completely confused unless they deleted some post where he said something much worse than what I saw. He didn't say anything beyond the normal speculating in threads about crashes. I've seen much worse assaults on recently deceased pilots.

Why wait until 25?  Run for a lesser position, and get some votes on the record. Run for school board, county board, village trustee. And while you’re doing that, let us know what you are doing to fight for the incarceration of the Muslims who ran a terrorist training camp in Arizona for children so they can learn to shoot up your school.

Oh, that’s right. You’re a celebrity now.  Every voter should bow at your feet. Good luck with that.
