Sean Hannity Tweets Link to White Supremacist Troll Chuck C. Johnson, Then Deletes It

Now you see Hannity’s link to a racist site, now you don’t
Weird • Views: 61,126

So yesterday, this happened. Fox News ranter Sean Hannity has been getting more open lately about his attraction to the alt-right, and on his radio show he crossed a big red line by offering to pay for President Obama to go to Kenya.

Telling the first black president of the US to go back to Africa didn’t exactly go over well with a lot of people, because let’s face it, it’s racist as hell. And Hannity was promptly faced with a whole lot of people outraged by his statement.

So Sean decided he would defend himself by tweeting a link to the website of white supremacist troll Chuck C. Johnson (who is NOT ME). If it seems a bit weird to defend yourself against charges of racism by citing a blatantly racist website, well, yeah. It is.

The link went to Johnson’s post about his absurd scam wherein he bilked gullible right wingers into sending him money for a video documentary of Barack Obama’s 1990 trip to Kenya. Apparently this was supposed to make it OK for Hannity to say he’d send Obama to Kenya, because Obama once went there of his own volition.

I know; it’s a senseless and creepy rationalization, but that’s pretty standard right wing “thinking.”

However, someone must have had a word with Sean about Chuck’s history of support for racism and white supremacism, or maybe it was someone who just doesn’t like Chuck for personal reasons because there are plenty of conservatives who also despise our old pal Chuck.

Whatever the reason, Sean Hannity then went back to that tweet and deleted it. What you see above is a screenshot I took at the time, because I’ve learned that people like Hannity often do this when they realize they’ve screwed up.

Meanwhile, in other Chuck C. Johnson news, you may recall that Chuck and his crony in hatred Pax Dickinson had purportedly raised $5000 from gullible right wingers in order to post a crudely drawn billboard featuring racist memes, encouraging people to shoot undocumented immigrants.

But their plan has run into a snag; they can’t find a billboard company that will let them post this ugly message. So, according to the terms of service of their Wesearchr scam, this means the gullible fools who gave them money are out of luck — because they explicitly state that donations for their so-called “bounties” will never be refunded. Too bad, Wesearchr fans!

You can absentee vote in person at the county clerk’s office, but there is a limited list of accepted reasons that are allowed.

You used to need an excuse (of which there were limited valid excuses) to cast an absentee ballot, but they opened that up to all this year, essentially giving us “early voting” without explicitly calling it that.

I filled out an absentee ballot at the polling place, and instead of having to mail it in, I gave it to the clerk and it gets stored with all of the rest of the absentee ballots (mailed or otherwise) until election day.

In Kentucky, we have to sign an affidavit detailing the reason we can’t vote on Election Day.
MrBWS has the same excuse every year since he works out-of-state all week.
Last November I got to vote early with MrBWS because my right arm was broken and my truck has a manual transmission, so there was no way I could drive myself to the polling place on Election Day.
To lie on that affidavit is akin to voter fraud in Kentucky. I know that my county clerk would give me a pass if I asked, but I wouldn’t do that to her.

Speaking of early voting, Los Angeles County, which is just over 4,000 square miles and has about 10 million people living in it, has a total of exactly one (1) early voting location. Apparently, they are also doing five additional pop up early voting locations this weekend and next weekend, but for a county that size, you’d think they’d have more early voting options.

My guess is that we have pretty lax absentee voting rules, so people that want to vote early just do it that way. But it is strange that a county the size of Connecticut with the population of North Carolina only has one early voting location. Could have something to do with early voting locations having to be at county seat/offices, maybe.

nickzi  Oct 27, 2016 • 3:11:17pm

A fascinating look at how Trump is trying to run things - and how he’s hollowed out the RNC as the controlling factor in the GOP:

bloomberg.com

Beginning last November, then ramping up in earnest when Trump became the Republican nominee, Kushner quietly built a sprawling digital fundraising database and social media campaign that’s become the locus of his father-in-law’s presidential bid. Trump’s top advisers won’t concede the possibility of defeat, but they’re candid about the value of what they’ve built even after the returns come in—and about Trump’s desire for influence regardless of outcome. “Trump is a builder,” says Bannon, in a rare interview. “And what he’s built is the underlying apparatus for a political movement that’s going to propel us to victory on Nov. 8 and dominate Republican politics after that.”
If Trump wants to strengthen his hold on his base, then his apocalyptic rhetoric on the stump begins to make more sense. Lately he’s sounded less like a candidate seeking to persuade moderates and swing voters and more like the far-right populist leaders who’ve risen throughout Europe. Most Republican Party officials ardently hope he’ll go away quietly if he loses. But given all that his campaign—and Kushner’s group especially—has been doing behind the scenes, it looks likelier that Trump and his lieutenants will stick around. They may emerge as a new media enterprise, an outsider political movement, or perhaps some combination of the two: an American UK Independence Party (UKIP) that will wage war on the Republican Party—or, rather, intensify the war that Trump and Bannon have already begun.

Today on “The Jim Bakker Show,” Religious Right activist Lance Wallnau described how Donald Trump reached his decision to run for president.

Wallnau hailed Trump as “another Cyrus,” a reference to the Persian king who liberated the Jews from captivity in Babylon, and “a committed man and husband, a dedicated father,” and said he personally asked Trump what motivated him to run:

He said, “Well, I wanted to be president.” He said, “I really did, but my wife told me I was too brash and too bright, that America wouldn’t put up with me.” He said, “You know what, I listened to her.” And then she was watching the burning down of Baltimore, she was watching the riots on television and she got a word—sometimes God speaks to you and you don’t have to be a Christian for God to talk to you; God spoke to Pilate’s wife and said, “Be careful what you do with this man”—and she said, “Donald, if you run now, you’ll become president.”

And he was eating dinner and he said, “What? Wait a second.” He put the thing on mute. He said, “What did you just say?” She said, “Now.” Because he was debating on signing on for “The Apprentice” for another season. And she said, “If you run now, you will be president.” He said, “Why? What’s changed? You said I’m too brash.” She said, “No, no, no. They’ve changed. America’s changed. They’re ready for you now. They’ll push past the packaging. They’ll get your heart. They’ll hear you.” That was the moment he said to call Michael Cohen. He said, “Cancel ‘The Apprentice,’ I’m filing for presidency.” And he decided to run. It was his wife—his wife that pushed him over the edge.

Rush’s “promise” was over ACA I believe. I just wish these drama queens would just shut up and go away. There’s not a damn positive thing they contribute to political dialogue.

Maajid Nawaz is upset that he and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are on the SPLC list of Anti-Muslim Bigots.

Personally, he seems like the British version of Zudhi Jasser. He decided to align himself with Anti-Muslim bigots like Sam Harris (who has stated that, in some circumstances, he is ok with torture).

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a liar of Trump-level calibre who has used her false defector story in order to make money from Islam-haters. I can’t really disagree with this list from the SPLC.

Wow. Albuquerque has locations all over the city. WTF?

Apparently having only one early voting location per county is not uncommon in California. According to the Secretary of State’s website, most counties only have one location. I’m actually surprised that Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties have multiple locations.

“Donald Trump speaking about how the African-American vote is taken for granted every four years.”

This is a very strange comment for him to make since he really doesn’t know many blacks. I’ve never felt my vote was ever “taken for granted” by Democratic politicians. I vote for them and not for Republican politicians because their vision of the country is more aligned with mine. I don’t vote for Republican politicians because I refuse to be one of their useful idiots who votes against my own interests. On the one hand, they disparage PoC, and on the other, they say, “Vote for me.” Uh, uh, not gonna happen in my case. You don’t get to curse me out and say all kinds of ugly things about me and earn my vote. If you think you will, you’re underestimating my ability to discern what those yuuuge dog whistles you love to use against me mean. I’m not that stupid, and neither are many other PoC.

I saw a piece on The PBS NewsHour a few weeks ago about the Hispanic population near the border with Mexico. A Republican woman was going on about going door to door in a neighborhood and how impressed everyone was that the GOP was reaching out to them because no Republican ever had before. Then she talked about how the Dems take the Hispanic voters for granted-only there for the elections and fiestas and holidays.

Really? The locals have never seen a Republican come around before, ever, and she is dissing the Dems because they aren’t there 24/7? Way to polish that turd.

I’ve seen Republican candidates not just voters freak out about Spanish being spoken. Meanwhile, I’ve seen the Democrats not just their candidates but rank and file Democrats really listen to Hispanic voters. The GOP has been shitting on HIspanic voters with the exception of GWB and he was a minority in his own party even before the GOP went completely bonkers after Obama got elected.

Republicans are so used to getting easy votes from resentful bigots that they have completely forgotten how to appeal for votes from non-bigots.

That is one powerful story.

“Did Hillary make it?” she asked once more, her words trailing, her voice almost inaudible. Looking at the fading light in her eyes, as her boney hand stretched out from her hospice bed, I considered how to respond. Do I tell her the truth? Hillary’s poll numbers are looking positive, but the election is not in the bag.

“Yes, Mama,” I told her. “Hillary made it.”

Republicans think they’re not insulting people by saying they vote Democratic because they want free stuff but they are and they do it a lot. I don’t vote Democratic because I want free stuff. I vote Democratic because that party represents my beliefs and it does a much better job running the country than the Republican one does. It also doesn’t rely on pandering to resentments like the GOP does. The GOP goes after the votes of people who are still upset that the South lost the war in 1865.

In Connecticut we have

The “Chip Smith” Charge

“Everything old is new again.” We’ve all heard this phrase before, and this is certainly the case with the Chip Smith charge. The charge derives from State v. Smith, 49 Conn. 376 (1881). James “Chip” Smith was a 21-year-old who was drinking, firing off his gun and causing a general disturbance of the peace one afternoon in December of 1880. His behavior forced his father out into the street and to the home of Daniel J. Hayes, the chief of police for the borough of Ansonia. The elder Mr. Smith begged Mr. Hayes to come and arrest his son. Mr. Hayes went in search of Chip, found him in a downtown street and tried to arrest him. Scales of Justice A struggle ensued, and Chip shot Hayes in the abdomen. Hayes later died of his injuries. James “Chip” Smith was tried for and convicted of Hayes’ murder. In an opinion reviewing Smith’s conviction, the Connecticut Supreme Court set forth language concerning the duty of jurors when deliberating. This language became known as the Chip Smith charge, and trial courts repeatedly gave the charge to jurors when they reported that they were deadlocked.

Of course in that case the authorities probably would have gone all SWAT from the get-go and few if any defendants would have ever made it to court to face a jury.

Look no further than what just happened today at Standing Rock.

Mumford arrested or at least detained by about half a dozen Marshals.

I wonder what his sons have to say about that…

I wonder if sometimes defendants are so obviously guilty that the prosecution slacks off.

re: #169 Timothy Watson

Wouldn’t happen, judges don’t overturn not guilty findings like that.

Let’s hope the legal system can deal with upcoming cases of this type better. It would seem to be essential to change the venue for trial to some reasonably populated place in order to reduce the chance of sovereign citizen jurors nullifying all their crimes.

Verdicts often come down to the causes of action and the jury instructions that go along with those causes of action. Also, keep in mind that the jury likely didn’t get all the information that we had as outside viewers, or it was framed in a way that led them to the decision that they reached.

Don’t despair that our legal system is broken. Sometimes juries return weird verdicts, in spite of the evidence or because of how the evidence was presented. To paraphrase a wiser man, our legal system is the worst system ever devised, except for all the others.

Kryptik: Just Done With It.  Oct 27, 2016 • 4:35:46pm

I really want to know the mindset of the jurors when they deliberated and made that call, because….holy fuck, what did the trial demonstrate that would un-damn them considering their own fucking statements and behavior? They literally didn’t hide what the hell they were doing and couched it in sovcit bullshit.

They can’t be tried on these charges again, of course. But given their sociopathic tendencies somewhere down the line they will try similar stunts, and eventually there will be a jury that will convict.

The worst demagogue in this country right now is an quintessential New Yorker yet I still felt disgust and said something when Cruz attacked “New York values.” I’ve lived in suburbia and rural areas and I’ve worked and gone to school in cities. You get people who are good, bad, and all that in all areas.

Dude just stop broadbrushing. You can say these guys are fucking assholes without attacking everyone who lives in a rural area. As people have told you before, just replace the word of the people you’re about to broadbrush with Muslim and imagine how you’d feel.

I can’t believe I actually have to type this out, but whatever:

The first thing to do is to know the enemy, which in this case is sovereign citizen ideology.

Note that “sovereign citizen ideology” is not spelled r-u-r-a-l A-m-e-r-i-c-a.

This is a clue that these two things are not the same.
