Right-Wing Broadcaster Calls For Killing Of ‘Globalists At CNN’
“I want people that run CNN to be arrested and deported or hanged,” he says after anti-Muslim rant.

By David Moye



A conservative network is apologizing for comments made by a host who suggested it was “time to kill the globalists” who run CNN.


Nick Fuentes, a host for Right Side Broadcasting Network, made the comments April 19 on his show, “America First With Nick Fuentes.”


Fuentes made the comments during an Islamophobic tirade:


The First Amendment was not written for Muslims, by the way. It wasn’t written for a barbaric ideology that wanted to come over and kill us. It was written for Calvinists. It was written for Lutherans and Catholics, not for Salafists, not for Wahhabists, not for the Saudi royal family. Don’t think the founders had that one in mind. And it also was intended for citizens, not for immigrants.”

It's the same old shit. Now that catholics are not the current wave of immigration, they are somehow included among the Founding Fathers, or so it seems according to this RW nitwit.

It's vile and needs to be exposed.

Thanks for exposing it.

I can not understand hate from right wingers. It is simply racism, intolerance of , and misogyny. I am not young and live in a deep red state, and I am so grateful for parents that taught me that character of a person is what is important. I am also grateful for my wife, two children, and grandchildren that share progressive values. I hope to live long enough to see Texas turn blue!

though I have been assured several times on here that hate speech is fine
and well-protected

on the other hand, maybe we're better off when folks like this are vocal and
verbal about their feelings so as to be better monitored

Thanks for speaking up!

“The American River Ganges”

May 8, 1875
Thomas Nast
“The American River Ganges”

Children; Education, Public Schools; New York City, Education; Religion, Roman Catholic Church; Symbols, Columbia; Women, Symbolic;

This cartoon is one of Thomas Nast's most famous. It depicts Roman Catholic clergy as crocodiles invading America's shore to devour the nation's schoolchildren--white, black, American Indian, and Chinese. (The white children are prominent in front, the rest are in the background.) The public school building stands as a fortress against the threat of theocracy, but it has been bombarded and flies Old Glory upside down to signal distress.

Education in nineteenth-century America was provided by a variety of private, charitable, public, and combined public-private institutions, with the public school movement gaining strength over the decades. A major political issue during the 1870s was whether state and municipal governments should allocate funds for religiously affiliated schools, many of which were Roman Catholic. In most public schools, the Protestant version of the Bible was read, Protestant prayers were uttered, and Protestant teachers taught Protestant moral lessons. (Notice the boy in the cartoon who protects the younger students from the Catholic onslaught carries a Bible in his coat.) Catholic (and some Protestant) leaders asked that parochial schools receive their fair share of public funds. Protestant defenders of public schools erroneously considered that request to be an attempt by Catholics to destroy the spreading public school system.
***
The publishers and staff of Harper’s Weekly, including cartoonist Thomas Nast, were mainly Protestant or secular liberals. Like most such Americans, they believed that the Roman Catholic Church was an antiquated, authoritarian institution that stood against the “Modernism” of a progressive society and democratic political institutions. Irish-Catholics in particular were suspected of being loyal primarily to the Vatican, rather than to the United States, and of not being capable of assimilation by nature or stubborn will. Furthermore, Irish-Catholics were overwhelmingly aligned with the Democratic Party, and more politically involved than other ethnic groups. The Republican newspaper was vehemently opposed to what it believed was the growing political and social influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States.

Certainly enough to be arrested and charged. Might even be found guilty, even though possibly overturned.

The law is rarely black and white.

Also...you don't have to go to law school to read and comprehend. As every two-bit high school valedictorian-becoming-unemployed-person-with-a-J.D. can tell you.

Never.

You think the police will arrest someone for "inciting" them to arrest someone?

These broadcasters would be saying these hateful things ten times over and nitwits with guns all over the country would think there is a second civil war or a revolution or more likely they would be yelling "It's a coup".

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/11/how-thomas-jefferson-and-other-founding-fathers-defended-muslim-rights/

..."When enshrining the freedom of religion in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, our Founders meant what they said when they said it applied to all religions," Obama said Wednesday at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. "Back then, Muslims were often called Mahometans, and Thomas Jefferson explained that the Virginia Statue for Religious Freedom that he wrote was designed to protect all faiths — and I'm quoting Thomas Jefferson now — 'the Jew and the gentile, the Christian and the Mahometan.'"
........

Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word "Jesus Christ," so that it should read, "a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan [Muslim], the Hindoo [Hindu], and Infidel of every denomination."
Jefferson's opinions on religious liberty were heavily influenced by John Locke, as noted by James H. Hutson, writing in 2002 as chief of the Library of Congress's Manuscript Division:

In his seminal Letter on Toleration (1689), John Locke insisted that Muslims and all others who believed in God be tolerated in England. Campaigning for religious freedom in Virginia, Jefferson followed Locke, his idol, in demanding recognition of the religious rights of the "Mahamdan," the Jew and the "pagan." Supporting Jefferson was his old ally, Richard Henry Lee, who had made a motion in Congress on June 7, 1776, that the American colonies declare independence. "True freedom," Lee asserted, "embraces the Mahomitan and the Gentoo (Hindu) as well as the Christian religion.".........(more)

is one of the three accomplishments mentioned on Jefferson's tombstone.

Being president is not one of the other two.

To my surprise, the one at Monticello is a copy of the original. It's amazing what you can learn on the internet. Anyway:

He's a 20 something attention whore that thinks he'll be the next big star of some imaginary billion dollar reality show.

Like the idiots that volunteer to be on shows like Big Brother, Real Housewives, Survivor and all the rest he's got to be the biggest asshole he can be in order to become famous.

He thinks it'll lead to money and power when like everyone who's ever been on those shows finds out they're forgotten as soon as the next asshole pokes his head out from under his rock.
