More racism in Trump's camp

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign announced today that it has named Breitbart News chairman Stephen Bannon as its new chief executive. CNN’s Brian Stelter reported that the move signals “nothing is off limits now,” and “we're going to see the most fringy ideas, the most right-wing ideas bubble up to the surface.“ Here’s what you need to know about Bannon and the bigoted news empire he has run since 2012.

Breitbart Has Embraced The “Extremist Fringe” And Pushed “Racist Ideas” Under Bannon

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reported in April that Breitbart has recently “undergone a noticeable shift toward embracing ideas on the extremist fringe of the conservative right. Racist ideas. Race-baiting ideas. Anti-Muslim and anti-Immigrant ideas -- all key tenets making up an emerging racist ideology known as the ‘Alt-Right.’” The SPLC noted that “Over the past year the media outlet has been openly promoting the core issues of the Alt-Right, introducing these racist ideas to its readership -- much to the delight of many in the white nationalist world who could never dream of reaching such a vast number of people” and pointed out that the site has been “publishing more overtly racist diatribes about Muslims and immigrants” since 2015.

Racism, bigotry, hatred.

1. "More racism" in Trump's camp? That's like saying there's been "more racism"

at Aryan Nation meetings. Trump's campaign is all about racism. That's really all there is to it.

2. And so this POS wins another day of round the

clock media attention...

4. too true-- there are so many bigger and more important stories

humanitarian and environmental disasters all over

[whatthehey]

9. and may he win many more like this

Soundly laughed at by knowledgeable pundits across the spectrum as he scrapes up another reboot from a combination of the fringe dregs and hapless tyros. If all press were good press, Trump would be at 70% and climbing not under 40 and falling. May the media attention on him continue like this.

10. I suppose...I just can't stomach the replay of agent orange

so the pundits can bounce their debate off of the shit he spews....or any one of his lying cronies..

We are better than this - let's see how smart the American people are come Nov..be well..

3. just so I know, "nationalism" is code word for white supremacy, right?

Because the one coherent answer I got from a Trump supporter over why he supported him was because he's a "nationalist".

6. I had to look it up - and then just tripped into the

Southern Poverty Law site.. - the map of hate groups OMG - shaking head...

White nationalist, white supremacy, racist, bigots..haters...now trump with brietbart ahole Bannon - this underbelly is crawling out from under their rocks....

We are better than this.....stronger together means so much more to me now...

11. Indeed.

[world wide wally]

5. Did everyone notice Trump's reverse psychology (on the public) last night as he spoke out

Against hate and bigotry, and once again accused Hillary of his own bullshit?

[asiliveandbreathe]

7. How rovian of him -

I'm rubber you're glue, your words bounce off me and stick to you....

Pathetic -

8. They might as well start fitting Trump for a white hood

On a sad note, I'm not looking forward to having any of their sexist and anti-black rhetoric defended on DU over the next couple of months.

No, they aren't making any valid points, it's nothing more than bigoted bullshit. Just getting that out there ahead of time.
