Ajax, there may be more to the story than you're reporting.

"Pirro ripped off her microphone while the crew members hovered around her and she shouted, 'Those ****suckers! This is exactly what I told them would happen.' "

Yep, there is a bit more to this story that the biased "news" site Breitbart is telling us.

Whoopi carries a lot more weight at her network than Piro at hers. That’s really all one can conclude. Isn’t it obvious?

Meanwhile, in Trump-land, Michael Scheuer is openly calling on Trump supporters to get ready to assassinate anyone associated with the Mueller investigation, elected Democrats, Democrat-appointed judges, illegal immigrants, members of the mainstream media, and possibly Trump opponents generally. He allows for waiting for Trump to do it, but warns that time is running out fast.

http://non-intervention.com/3238/a-repu ... e-tyranny/

Here's a fun concluding paragraph after calling for mass murder:

"It is, of course, far better if Trump does so, and I pray and believe he will. That said, the sheer, nay, utter joy and satisfaction to be derived from beholding great piles of dead U.S.-citizen tyrants is not one that will be missed if Trump does not soon do the necessary to save the republic. But if he fails, the citizenry must act to ensure that Hillary’s predictive words are proven correct. “If Trump wins,” she apparently said, “we will all hang.”

Or on Infowars, they recently compared democratic socialist politicians to "ticks" where the only way to treat such an infestation of vermin is through "extermination" which is more than a little reminiscient of the the rhetoric at the begining of the Rwandan genocide:

One might be tempted to say these are just isolated pockets of violent, dehumanizing rhetoric, though that would underestimate the reach of InfoWars. However, this is a broad theme that's been floating around the alt-right with increasingly frequency post-Trump election. You personally show all the signs of it, hence your repeated themes of "bring on the civil war mofos" in your posts. So this isn't something I can credibly believe you aren't aware is occurring.

My money is on “more to the story”, given that Pirro is one of the nastiest personalities on air, judging merely by what does get broadcast from her own show alone. She is the very face of the issue that Ceeboo was talking about in his now-edited thread.

Two, I’m white and registered republican and you make me embarrassed of my race, the Republican Party and humanity.


That makes absolutely no sense that a faithless, godless, immoral, dishonorable and disgraceful, negative ball of rage and hate like yourself would even consider voting Republican.

A white Jew or hispanic perhaps? No, even hispanics have more honor than you. Perhaps you're Republican in the same way Some Schmo is a conservative? Why in the hell would ever vote Republican? What Republicans have you even voted for? I know there's some really bad Republicans out there but bad enough to attact the vote of a piece of scum like yourself, I just can't see it. Perhaps you're the virus that made the party so sick and impotent until Trump helped us start winning again?

Ajax why not watch the video of the interaction in question? I think you'd see slightly differently in context. It's on youtube. Look for the View channel.

This is a strange claim, given the irony that "a faithless, godless, immoral, dishonorable and disgraceful, negative ball of rage and hate" is an apt description of our current President.

Lol - that has to be one of the most pathetically stupid things you have written here and you have written some really stupid stuff. The fact that some cowardly white trash racist who has nothing else in his life to proud of other than the fact he was born white who has never been anywhere or done anything of note, like yourself, doesn't think very highly of me means I am doing something right. The fact that you actually think about me when I'm not around, while a little disturbing, means I am definitely touching all the right nerves.

Oh noes!!! Some racist, pretend christian, hypocrite, garbage human being thinks Im immoral AND dishonorable??? The fact that you think that me mocking you means I'm angry or hateful is funny. Unlike you, I don't think about you at all when you are not posting ignorant, racist nonsense on this board. I just enjoy taunting racist sister-fondlers, like yourself, who never leave their craphole hollers and feed primarily on a diet of right wing misinformation and racist propaganda.

So, the only way you can accept that I am "a faithless, godless, immoral, dishonorable and disgraceful, negative ball of rage and hate" is to imagine I am Jewish or Hispanic - lol. But Hispanics still have less honor than "real" whites like you right?

You are such a repulsively racist, inbred tool I don't even know what to say. Im sorry you never leave your shanty to meet other white people who don't think like you (although, its probably for the best that you don't mix with normal society). In fact, most of us arent racist twat waffle, shiat stains like you - you might know that if you didn't choose to remain such an cowardly, impotent racist shut in.

The fact that you believe this makes me realize how far the republican party has actually deviated from its values and sort of confirms everything I said about you and your chicken-shiat self above. All you need is for your racist infotainment rags to tell you what to think and feel and who to be angry at and you just blindly believe whatever you are told to believe. You are everything that is wrong with america right now.

Supposedly Schreech is a Republican, so if you look at it in that skewed way?

Trump has put his anger to good use. Instead of just griping about it. He's making America great again. He brought America back from the brink of destruction. Only time will tell how long this will hold off our inevitable devolution into 2nd world Latin American country.

Pirro exists as a tv personality to stoke anger, fear, and hatred. Big surprise that she is doing so in this quote. Whoopi Goldberg is rude to her, so she generalizes about every other person who disagrees with her politics. That quote is litter. Pirro’s show is irresponsible nonsense. As with many shows designed to stir up negative emotions about “the other side,” it ought to be canceled. Pseudo-news and round-the-clock political opinionating are a menace. Cable “news” networks are among the worst things to happen to this country.
