Almost Willing

Just had to get this hairball up.

I could give Alt-Spice the benefit, but it sticks in my craw really bad.  He's using a tactic that's pure propaganda when he makes shit up about how there was a terrorist attack in Atlanta carried out by a Muslim. And the fact that he didn't self-correct - he said the same thing on at least two different occasions - to me that means there's no mistake. It was deliberate. He had a conversation with somebody, and there was a decision made that had him telling us a flat-out lie.

Second, they're using the Pulse shooting in Orlando trying to justify the Muslim Travel Ban.  But that incident was a homegrown guy losing his shit and shooting a bunch of people - you know, like so many good Americans have done every year for fuck knows how long now.

Anyway, the Orlando shooter wasn't a refugee or an immigrant. He was born here. He was a citizen. But he was Muslim and when they use him as a false example, we're further smudging the line between What Is and What If.

And that sounds a whole lot like the Bannon administration is moving the anti-Muslim rhetoric even closer to a Corruption-Of-The-Blood kinda thing.

I hate this.
