Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

You need to register with a party. I know it is very fashionable now to be an "independent" but this just gives you less of a voice.

Absolutely not. Every political party, especially the two parties that most of the morons in DP suck off, is corrupt. I'll hold onto my integrity. My state also has open caucuses, so I'll pass forever.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Seems like we ought to be getting some retractions from quite a few leading political figures:
Maxine Waters blamed the attack on President Donald Trump and asked, “Why all of a sudden do we have people unable to study while black, unable to mow a lawn while black, unable to have picnic while black, and being attacked?”

Pelosi tweeted, “The racist, homophobic attack on [Smollett] is an affront to our humanity. No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love.”

Kamala Harris tweeted that the attack was a “modern-day lynching,” while her fellow senator and presidential candidate Cory Booker used the same term to describe the alleged attack.

Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that the attack was not “possibly” a racist and homophobic attack, but that “it was a racist and homophobic attack.”
Here Are All The Politicians Who Rushed To Judgement On The Smollett ‘Hate Crime’ | The Daily Caller
The list goes on:
"What happened today to [Jussie Smollett] must never be tolerated in this country," Biden tweeted. "We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie."

"The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I'm glad he's safe," Booker tweeted. "To those in Congress who don't feel the urgency to pass our Anti-Lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime –I urge you to pay attention."

"The recent racist and homophobic attack on acclaimed actor and activist Jussie Smollett is troubling. The rise in hate crimes is directly linked to President Donald J. Trump’s racist and xenophobic rhetoric," Johnson said in a statement. "It is dangerous for any society to allow a tone of divisiveness and hatred to dominate the political discourse. As this rhetoric continues to bleed into our everyday lives, dangerous behavior will continue to place many law-abiding individuals at risk." As if that were not enough, the NAACP president compared Trump's rhetoric to "terrorism." He concluded, "We pray for a full physical and mental recovery Jussie Smollett and many unnamed victims of this forum of hate based terrorism."

Chad Griffin, president of the HRC (Human Rights Committee), not only failed to question the Empire star's story, but described the attack as part of a trend. "This shocking attack on our friend and tremendous advocate Jussie Smollett is, unfortunately, not an isolated incident," Griffin said in a statement. "There is an alarming epidemic of hate violence in our country that disproportionately targets Black people, LGBTQ people, and religious minorities —and particularly those living at the intersections of multiple identities."

The LGBT activist group GLAAD said that it "stands with Jussie and against such hate violence." "Our hearts are with Jussie Smollett as he recovers from a hate-motivated and repugnant attack in Chicago," GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. "Jussie has always used his voice and talent to create a better world, and it is disgusting that anyone, especially someone who has done such good for so many, would be targeted by undeniable hatred."

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also condemned the "racism and homophobia" behind the alleged attack on the Empire star. "LGBTQ people of color live at multiple intersections of oppression, too often facing violence compounded by both racism and homophobia," the ACLU tweeted. "This isn't the America we want to live in. Our thoughts are with Jussie Smollett and all survivors."

"Hate crimes (especially against LGBTQ+ and black people) are increasing," the SPLC tweeted, believing his story verbatim. "Actor Jussie Smollett, who is both black and gay, was attacked by two men who allegedly shouted, 'This is MAGA country!' after they beat him and put a rope around his neck." Will They Retract? 9 Prominent Liberals Used the Jussie Smollett Attack to Slam Trump and Anti-LGBT Hate. But Police Now Think Smollett’s Story Is a Hoax

But I doubt we'll get any of these to acknowledge they jumped (pounced?) to conclusions, rather I expect they and their fellow-travelers in the MSM will be trying to distract, hope this all quiets down, commentators here will be condemning "Trumpetes" for keeping it going.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Then you should be very angry at the epidemic of hoaxes which make this harder to do. Doubting this was ALWAYS a relatively safe bet.

And all the people with voices that get listened to (celebrities, journalists, politicians) who jumped on this as a "hate crime" and pounded the table about it need to condemn Smollett loudly rather than just slink away quietly, as most of them are doing.

An epidemic, you say? Do you know what that word means? Silly.

Anyway, if Smollett lied, as I've said fifty ****ing times, then he should be smashed. Try reading. After that, try comprehending.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

You're not following the conversation, then. Take a deep breath and read before replying. And there's no need for the personal insults.

This is your billionth message that has no meaning. Balloons and flowers!
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Please... someone just stop this insanity! Of course the entire fiasco was a total fraud... only a blithering
liberal idiot would have believed otherwise. Time for the boys in blue to do their job and arrest this fraud
and bring him up on the appropriate charges... end of story!

So you're mad at the cops again?
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Is that the cloak you wear?

This is common.

I also see KGB refer to themselves as "real Americans."

I know some of the "tells."

Seeing Reds under the bed again?
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Relax. No one is going to judge you if you put from the rough.



The gay friends I've had would laugh their ass off at anyone who acted like such a drama queen. They all had a sense of humor, took as well as they gave and not a single one of them would tolerate someone acting like a little bitch.

If I put from the rough? English isn't my best language, but it appears not to be yours either.

So now Smollett is a drama queen and a little bitch? What do your imaginary gay friends think about your homophobia? Let me know please. We should compare notes.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Let me see if SJW jargon helps here. The Nigerian brothers do not have the power in that relationship;)

I might have missed your point if you had one. Please restate.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Wondering with Adam Schiff is going to condemn Smollett for his LACK of moral clarity; moral depravity?

Shiftless and the other celeb/politicos who "condemned this horrible act" are probably hoping everyone forgets that they fell for a hoax.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

An epidemic, you say? Do you know what that word means? Silly.

I do. There have been many "hate crime" hoaxes, actually considerably outnumbering those reported which turned out to be true.

Anyway, if Smollett lied, as I've said fifty ****ing times, then he should be smashed. Try reading. After that, try comprehending.

I did, which is why I didn't say you, specifically, should condemn Smollett. I said the celebrities, journalists, and politicians who jumped on this as a "hate crime" should. So, work on your own comprehension, nes c'est pas?
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Jussie Smollett...
1. Wasted police resources of a police force that has to deal with violence and other crime
2. Destroyed his credibility and could earn himself a criminal record
3. Made things worse for future victims of REAL hate crimes
4. Kicked the racial hornet's nest at a time when that's one of the last thing that this country needs

He should be ashamed of himself.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

You're just not being objective about this, the Chicago City Attorney agrees with me:

In what way am I being unobjective? Because I don't agree with you? How many times must I say that if Smollett lied he needs to prosecuted? That's unobjective to you?
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

This is your billionth message that has no meaning. Balloons and flowers!

Everyone else understood it. You're just reading so fast and you're so impulsive and angry that you're not taking the time to comprehend it.
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

As usual liberals rush to make something a race crime before getting the facts.

Oh, ok. A billion apologies!
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

I see some contradictions in the article
Jussie Smollett responds to reports he may have paid men to attack him

"Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with."

" he says two unknown offenders approached him, yelling racial and homophobic slurs. They then attacked him, he claims, pouring an unknown chemical substance on him and even wrapping a rope around his neck. The offenders fled the scene, while Smollett transported himself to Northwestern Hospital."

So when did Smollett become "familiar with" the two individuals?
 
Re: Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

Damn! They're taking that **** to a grand jury. :lamo

We certainly should keep it going! This nonsense has been going on far too long. We need to hold their heads down while they drown in their ignorance!
