-Short Attention Span Theater-
Tucker Carlson Confronts Business Owner Who Won’t Do Business with Trump Supporters
[MEDIAITE] Tucker Carlson tonight faced off with a business owner who publicly declared that he won’t do business with Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
supporters.

Mathew Blanchfield, the CEO of 1st in SEO,
Albuquerque Internet Marketing, Web Design & SEO Company
wrote online, "If you are a Republican, voted for Donald Trump or support Donald Trump, in any manner, you are not welcome at 1st in SEO and we ask you to leave our firm."

Carlson pressed him tonight on why he would say something like that. Blanchfield argued this is about the "moral principle" at hand and said he is not tolerant of bigotry or fascism
...a political system developed in Italy symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of people who have no idea what they're talking about...
He went on to say he strongly believes Trump is a fascist
Tucker Carlson should have stopped him right then and there and asked this question: "Why do you believe Mr. Trump is a fascist?"
and while he would allow a Trump supporter into his home, a lot of what Trump does alarms him.

Carlson told him that comments like these diminish "actual historical crimes," but Blanchfield told Carlson that he should read up on how Hitler and Putin rose to power.

#3  The fact of the matter is that assholes like Blanchfield, and most of the MSM, have no conception what the underlying principles of fascism are.

From the founder of fascism, Benito Mussolini,....

Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity (11).


There really is only one significant split. Individualism against Statism. Regardless of the details of the States organization if it is not based on individualism it is tyrannical.

#4  Personally, I don't have a problem with it. The man should have the right to give or deny service to any he chooses.
So should everyone else, too.
Including Christian bakers and florists...

#5  I would not have given him the media coverage. If anything he would pick up business from it, not lose it.

#6  SEO reminds me of the failed DOT-COM companies.
Their specialty appears to be reformulating search engine search requests.

Why would anybody want to pay for such a service? Somebody is doing it better and for free somewhere else.

#7  As for Hitler's rise to power, he was much younger. Trump is too old to try to duplicate what Hitler tried to do.

Former Sanders Spokeswoman:
[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Symone Sanders, former spokeswoman for the Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
presidential campaign, appeared on CNN Wednesday afternoon to weigh in on the future of the DNC and the Democratic party. Sanders dismissed the idea of Howard Dean
Former Dem governor of Vermont or Rhode Island or one of those dinky states. Howard lost his bid to be president by shrieking and screaming and acting like a loon. Then they made him chairman of the Dem national campaign committee, where he continued doing the same things only nobody paid any attention....
returning as DNC chairman commenting, "we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now."

"Howard Dean is also on record maligning young people and millennials. Telling those Bernie folks they just need to get in line and maligning Bernie Sanders. And that is not what we need," Sanders said about the former party chairman.

"In my opinion we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now," Sanders said.
Then why did that very pale man, Bernie Sanders, run for president of the United States and, had he won, head of the Democratic Party?
"The Democratic party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in leadership and throughout the staff, at the highest levels. From the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC."
As I recall, Donna Brazile wasn't on your side, Bernie...
"I think we need a robust discussion about this and I think we need to hear more from all the candidates," Sanders told CNN's Brianna Keilar. "Jaime Harrison of South Carolina, he's great, too. He's done real party building, but everybody doesn't necessarily know Jaime and they want to know what he stands for. So I want to hear more from everybody."

"I want to hear from the millennials and the brown folks," she finished.

Sanders' reaction to a white person getting dragged from car and beaten by anti-Trump protestors: "Oh my goodness, poor white people."
