Neo-Nazi vows to hunt down children of CNN staffers over reporting on pro-Trump Reddit troll

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/neo-nazi-vows-to-hunt-down-children-of-cnn-staffers-over-reporting-on-pro-trump-reddit-troll/


CNN has become the recipient of white supremacist troll ire — all for investigating the origins of the GIF President Donald Trump tweeted attacking them last weekend.

After CNN tracked down the identity of the Reddit user who created the GIF of Trump bodyslamming Vince McMahon with their logo superimposed on his face, members of various right-wing Internet communities came together in what the Southern Poverty Law Center called a “rare moment of unity for the far-right.”

I am still confused by the details of this story. I didn't pay attention to it as it unfolded. But the fact you have people threatening media and the family of those in the media THIS is all due to Trump. Trump and the GOP own whatever bad happens to anyone.

Trump started it with his threats to media during the campaign.

3. I reported about 30 accounts last night for hate speech and violent memes.

And last night was just... insanity. Something definitely needs to be done before they do something drastic.

That would also explain the Russian connection, as they are mobbed-up beyond belief.

These people are fucking off the walls unhinged. There were multiple reports last night that the guy who goes by "HanAssholeSolo" was 15, which set the deplorables off. Uh, he wasn't 15. That is what we call "epic fail".

We are either snowflakes or we are violent. But we can't be a violent snowflake. That is like a flux capacitor.

SHEER DUMBASSERY.

They say all leftists are violent lunatics, then they go out and send death threats to CNN reporters. I swear these morons are going to get someone important killed thanks to T's violent rhetoric toward journalists.

and that Hitler was a Liberal. Such projection is hard to fathom. Any fool knows those Southern Democrats were conservative before the Equal Rights Amendment of 1964.
Therefore they'll claim the fools that wrote this Fascist crap were Liberals. The weak minded fall for it.
