The war begins: Breitbart.com attacks McMaster as Koran-kissing terrorist sympathizer

Source: raw story




20 Aug 2017 at 16:41 ET


“Alt-right” hub Breitbart.com stepped up its ongoing war with White House National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster on Sunday, accusing him of being soft on Islamic terrorists because the lieutenant general endorsed a book about Islamic cultural respect.

The Hill said on Sunday that the broadside against McMaster stems from his support of a training manual for military personnel regarding Muslim customs around treatment of the faith’s holy book, the Koran.

The book serves as a guide to how “not to inflame religious tensions with Muslim populations in countries where American troops are deployed,” the Hill said.


Bannon made it clear in a series of tough-talking interviews that he plans to weaponize Breitbart.com and its readers against the Republican establishment and Bannon’s enemies in the White House. One Breitbart editor on Friday tweeted the hashtag “#War” as news spread of Bannon’s firing...........................

The racist is also threatening the cowardly GOPs telling them support t-rump or else. This man is a looney just like t-rump. bannon , kellyanne, gorka and miller and t-rump are one in the same. I hope they all cancel each other out.

Frankly I don't give a shit what Bannon says these days. Now we need to convince the M$M to ignore him too. He only has the power "we" give him.

And many here are not unarmed, frightened villagers, and tribal members!!!

I doubt if all of them are armed, and those that have access to a firearm would be more of a threat to themselves!!!

And Norway wasn't Norway until it was Norway. And water wasn't water until it was water.

When dialog devolves into trading bumper-stickers, it should become clear there is nothing of relevant substance to offer from those quarters.

"reaches less than 12%" - enough to scare Jared who whined to Trump who told Breitbart to stop picking on Jared.

Will Bannon the Barbarian start up again on Jared?

They are not known to be chummy as Bannon is not fond of Jews.

Can't quite grasp what Bannon's and Mercer's end game is unless it's ultimately to start another political party. Their philosophy is so out of step with main-stream GOP political policy and beliefs, it's like daylight and dark. Being in lock-step on covert white nationalism and racism does not translate into functional legislation and certainly gets us no where with international relations.

PS: Thanks for the good twitter links! I'm not on twitter but enjoy visiting several of the progressive pages.

not to FB, not to reddit, not anywhere. We need to shut down Breitbart, NOT enable its vicious degenerate hate and fear-mongering to go viral. We don't need anymore RW idiot racists with low IQs to read this crap and continue to make it go viral. Stop clicking on Breitbart or any links and citations about it. Shun this shit.

Thanks for reminding me, I'd totally forgotten. The way these guys moan the payment of any money, taxes, etc. (Mercers etc.) they have to cough up more (which will definitely hurt them) if boycott of ads on Breit.... is
successful...
