Howling Alt-Right Twits

"SAN FRANCISCO —****Twitter suspended high-profile****accounts associated with the alt-right****movement, the same day the social media service said it would crack down on hate speech.
Among those suspended was Richard Spencer, who runs an alt-right think tank and had a verified account on Twitter.
The alt-right, a loosely organized group that espouses white nationalism,****emerged as a counterpoint to mainstream conservatism and has****flourished online. Spencer has said he wants blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Jews removed from the U.S.
Twitter on Tuesday removed Spencer's verified account, @RichardBSpencer, that of his think tank, the National Policy Institute****@npiamerica, and his online magazine @radixjournal.
"This is corporate Stalinism," Spencer told The Daily Caller News Foundation."

Poor babies. Who knew that rightwing bigotry was bad for business?

In that case, they can shut up about how repressed they are.

Breitbarts, Daily Caller, Newsmax, Redstate, Fox....etc seem to be all infested with these perpetually aggrieved white nationalists. Ugh.

That's right.

Scour the internet until you can find a handfull of racists from the lunatic fringe and extrapolate that out to "All Trump voters are Racists!".

That's a winning strategy.

Doesn't take any "scouring" to get Bannon's resume, and rebel flags next to Trump banners weren't uncommon.
Guilt by association? Birds of a feather?
No, I don't think they all, or a large percentage of them are motivated mainly by racism, but using the "not-us" as scapegoat to appeal for advantage is a reliable tactic.

Why do that when we can just read your posts?
