    The news comes one day after Rep. Dave Taylor, R-Ohio, called the flag with the swastika “vile” and “deeply inappropriate” after the symbol was seen in one of his staffers’ offices in the background of a meeting. […] Taylor denounced the symbol Wednesday, saying in a statement, “I condemn it in the strongest terms.”

    I hate the media.

    -–

    I keep tellin’ the youngsters too soon is too soon! Do they listen? No! Wait a minute… Is that camera on over there? Can people see and hear— [Adjusts tie and takes a deep breath] I want all Americans to know that the swastika is vile and deeply inappropriate. I condemn it in the strongest terms…

      I really want someone prominent to start saying “bullshit” whenever one of these ghouls cries “I condemn!” It’s so fucking obvious they don’t mean it and are just doing it reflexively.

        It seems that every MSM reporter in DC is a doofus or pretends to be. And the media gets so huffy and annoyed when the public starts yelling - “Stop taking diction! The GOP is lying - you dipshits!” It’s a ridiculous and insane situation.

        A few years from now people like Taylor will be openly proclaiming stuff like their belief in the national supremacy and dominance of the White Race. And the media’s response will be - “How did we get here?” And when they answer their own question - they’ll surely mention the damaging and toxic online atmosphere that stifles the discourse.
