Because she is one. John Oliver covered her in his latest episode; she’s a Nazi.
Oh, shit, I’m behind. Thanks for the reminder. I can’t wait to see this piece of shit exposed.
Won't matter. Conservatives will gloss over all of it as liberal propaganda.
And they don't have an issue with their members being nazis
Many I'm sure likely do and I'm quite certain (me living in North Carolina) that most conservatives would take offense to being called a nazi, or even prejudice at all.
Then,... they'll immediately turn around and do it anyway a day later.
The big problem is that most conservatives will never even know this happened to even consider it.
they love what I say and do, just hate the word nazi
Know what happened?
Oh yes, and I’m sure she actually is a Nazi and that’s not hyperbole in any way.
If you need catching up, this is the lady who is running for mayor of Franklin, TN, who was escorted and "protected" by members of a white supremacist group (essentially actual Nazis).
Pertinent excerpts from the article:
Tuesday night, members of the board took Hanson to task in person, accusing her of sowing division and endangering the community. Hanson refused to condemn the group. “This is the old adage of ‘you reap what you sow,’” Hanson told the board, claiming the Active Club was in Franklin partially as a result of alleged discrimination against Christians. “You’ve planted seeds for years and years against our citizens, and they are coming to harvest, this is what the citizens of Franklin are getting because of bad decisions.”
Hanson claimed that the Tennessee Active Club came to Franklin because they were an “anti-antifa group” [so, fascists] and “the dark web is showing massive antifa activity” in and around the city. At one point on Tuesday, Hanson referred to Brad Lewis, the “actual literal Nazi,” as her “client.”
Brad Lewis owns and operates a store in Nashville, and said of himself, "I'm an actual literal Nazi."
“I’m a realtor, I’m not going to denounce anybody their right to be whatever it is that they want to be, whether I agree with what they do in their personal life or not,” she said, adding that “we don’t discriminate in this community” and that the Active Club “never laid a hand on anyone and they were very respectful while they were here.”
It makes people feel important and powerful when they are backed by thugs.
I dunno, endorsing Nazis feels like you're trying to discriminate in this community.
Oh well, if she's a realtor, I guess she couldn't possibly also be a nazi. So glad she cleared that up.
Sounds like something a Nazi would say...
It's useless to cite Karl Popper to centrists, they are just rightoids who don't have the courage to admit this simple fact to themselves first and to the world at large second.
Just like most Nazi are closeted homosexuals who cannot understand their natural urges and act against them for some bullshit reason
The bullshit reason is almost always religious indoctrination. It’s tough to crack that one, but fixing the tax loopholes of all these churches would be a start.
Also implementing the separation between church and state at school level would be a major win to crack the nut(case) that religious extremists are.
No child indoctrination = less grown-ups nutcases running around and acting according to childish believes
The Supreme Court went the other way with that too, Maine has to pay for religious schools with vouchers now. Idiocracy here we come.
Sorry to hear that, it's the same for us in Italy tho where our taxes are also used to support religious schools. Furthermore, churches and any business associated with the Catholic church do not pay any tax at all thanks to Mr. Mussolini and the lateranensi pacts who defined anything religious as exempted from state control or overview; so we are not only robbed by force through our taxes being distributed to catholic schools, but we are also robbed of all the missing income we could collect from church activities who turn a profit at the end of the month (and they are many, surprisingly priests seem to love money very much. Probably as much as jesoous)
we have this problem in the united states also. many municipal taxes take the form of property tax to pay for city general funds... but religious organizations are exempt from these taxes. and these churches take up a lot of square footage. they are vampires on the community.
they sure love to wrap themselves in jesus until you remind them of his words.
tax all churches. tax every stock trade.
The entire concept of the “Paradox of Tolerance” presupposes that tolerance is a universal good, or that it’s claimed to be such, neither of which is true.
So then non whites should be able to use self defense against her. Problem solved.
The irony in that statement could walk up and punch her in her Nazi face.
"Those are my constituents!"
Same as not discriminating against any other terrorist.
The UK has recently been on roll of making rulings where people have been assumed to have been discriminated against for being "gender critical" or "opposed to critical race theory". The equality act has essentially been nullified in practice.
And the TERFs immediately started threatening every trans person and ally who wouldn't service them with lawsuits for breaching the Equality Act.
All the "free speech" warriors of course defend them, decrying "cancel culture", but are oddly silent when the same TERFs file SLAPP lawsuits against people criticising them.
Pro tip: when Nazis complain that they're the victim of discrimination, they're demanding the protections of a peace they refuse to abide by- and they shouldn't get them.
Is that what she said? Did she use the term white supremacists? I kind of doubt it, given there’s no quote marks around the term in the title.
