Re: Shifty Adam Schiff // JWW A couple months ago my otherwise intelligent Trump loving, Nouveau Republican Wingnut in California posted a video clip showing Obama: she said, "You may not believe this 20 second sound bite. I had to listen to it twice to be sure that I heard what I thought I had heard. This is the most amazing statement ever uttered by Obama, or by any American."
The brief video showed Obama saying: "And for the international order that we have worked for generations to build, ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign."
That didn't sound right, so I checked it out. Here is what he actually said in the 2014 "Freedom isn't Free" speech in Belgium: “But those ideals have also been tested, here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. Often this alternative vision roots itself in the notion that by virtue of race or faith or ethnicity, some are inherently superior to others and that individual identity must be defined by us versus them, or that national greatness must flow not by what people stand for, but what they are against.” Sound familiar?
Notice how the Alt-Right Idiots had taken the snippet totally out of context to denigrate Obama. Or, they just totally make Crap up----remember Pizzagate? Using the hashtag #pizzagate, Alex Jones pushed the notion that Podesta had dined at Comet Pizza, and, naturally, figured it was the site of an underground pedophilia ring with Clinton. Jones took to the air later that month and said that “Pizzagate is real” and urged his listeners to “go investigate it for yourself.” The core belief behind Pizzagate is that Hillary Clinton and top Democratic operatives are running an underground and possibly satanic child sex ring out of a pizza restaurant in Washington D.C. Some Pizzagate believers counter with the argument that no element of Pizzagate has been proven to be false, and so there just might be something to it.
A whole lot of Right-wingnuts believed it. This is the kind of logic you have to somehow accept if you want to take a bite of a Pizzagate. Or anything else the right-wing nut-jobs who love Trump say or write. Yuuup, More Half-Truths from Half-Baked Half-Wits.
“Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.” ….Criss Jami |
