To be fair, Nabra Hassanen was chased down, raped and murdered by an islamophobic bigot in Virginia and the community blamed Trump for stoking blind anti-Muslim hatred.

As someone who shares the Virginia media market but doesn’t live in Virginia, this race can be summed up as Ralph “supports MS 13" Northam versus Ed “supports Trump” Gillespie. Of course, Northam has never endorsed any gang while Gillespie continues to support the president, but it’s 2017 and facts don’t matter.

“I have noticed recently that when the media wants to depict a Muslim girl or woman, they almost always go with one in a hijab...”

I am 100% okay with ads that call out the Republican Party for supporting bigoted rhetoric and policies.

I don’t entirely approve of this ad...but man am I sick of Democrats constantly wearing kid’s gloves and playing softball while Republicans literally do everything in their power to kill Americans by gutting healthcare so they can give trillions to the rich. Democrats should be on the air constantly pointing out that…

We are at the point of “Which Side Are You On?”, freedom and inclusion or the generational terrorism of the confederacy? Pick a side, neutrality is acceptance.

I watched this ad before reading the article’s explanation. Before the voice-over kicked in, I honestly thought it was a republican ad about being tough on immigration.

That was a pretty jarring ad, and I guess I’m not used to seeing such stark, blatant imagery coming from “my” side. (though I’d be very interested to be shown more like it!)

Fuck these people. I get sideways looks when I’m with my wife all the time. I would hate to have to deal with them while they’re emboldened and in a group of 20.

Only slightly related but, lol

Thank you, I loved reading this.

Let me take a moment to answer all of your questions (no matter how ridiculous and incredulous they are)...

Carnage/Doppelganer 2020: Because nothing matters anymore.

So, should we stop checking passports at the borders and in airports? Stop using visas and just let everyone into the country that wants to come?

It’s really marvelous!

It’s amazing they’re being so brazen about it though. Like, you almost couldn’t find a company further from Puerto Rico than the one they picked. (Inside the 48, anyway...) It’s like they’re going, “hey! we’re corrupting and nepotisming over here yo, and we don’t care you see us doing it because what we say goes and…

Party over Country, got it, John.

Sir you are insulting some very good people with your generalizations, I get some of these dudes are bad guys but for every bad “thieving rogue” there is a misguided moralist standing up for what they believe in trying to help the little guy. Spider-man’s rogues gallery does not deserve to be compared to the…

I’ve struggled to find modern words to illustrate the depths of depravity and illegality of this current admin. Thankfully history is full of great words to that can help us get our minds around this level of idiocy, illegitimacy and cowardice.

Poltroon is the perfect word for this lot. The last time I heard it used this much I was listening to Rasputina.
