Honestly, I'd say yes. The media has orgasms over stuff like this. Race tensions boost ratings and forget about click bait bs "news" sites that get shared all over Facebook.

All I know for sure is that someone wants the people of this country divided and bickering so we can not unite and see that there are some serious crooks fleecing this country at high levels of government... corrupt politicians, government contractors and business owners who are making bank off the back of the 99% of this country.

But those Mexicans!!!! They are the real problem. Bad hombres!!!

rally in Boston

tomorrow...http://boston.cbslocal.com/2017/08/1...-preparations/

I read this article..the headline is BRILLIANT.....lots of consternation, posturing, warning and generally troubling concerns over the crisis of free speech...

it only mentions the organizers one time = "Boston Free Speech Coalition" ????....who????...sounds menacing

never heard of them...what ...like.....5 members registered online or something????

enough to close down the city of Boston for the day apparently?...a hateful word or phrase has yet to be muttered...


Southern Poverty Law Center(as offering advice to Mayor Knucklehead) is mentioned, and whom I've heard of and am very aware of their dubious dealings

what the hell is going on????

these fruitcake politicians and media milk this crap for all it's worth...if it's such a problem don't approve the freaking permit based on all of your moaning and kvetching ....

warning...warning...danger Will Robinson

And you KNOW who that someone is don't you? That's right, George Soros

maybe it is fake, maybe not
All I know is that as time passes, more conspiracy theories have turned out to be reality not theories.


Hopefully the rally in Boston doesn't end up violent of a piss bottle fight. I would not be within 20 miles of that place.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I think Soros is a tool and generates a lot of crap but I don't think he is behind every conspiracy, no more than Eben's Koch brothers....

I would love to hear how they are any different from, say, labor unions...they have huge money, and spend some to advocate for that which they think is right. And they give a ton to charity, but that can't matter.

Harry Reid has called them by name, on the floor of the US Senate, as being dangerous. He is supposed to serve them for Christs sake! Imagine never being even accused of a crime, but having a US Senator declare you to be the enemy...

Labor unions work for their members (the little guy) the Koch brothers work for their own self interest..compare them to Soros if you like but your anti labor connections are way off base

Labor unions ARE the members. Saying that the unions work for their members is saying that the members are working for themselves, for, as you say, their own self interest.

Koch Brothers have created wealth out of the work for their own self interest, much of which is distributed (paid) to various unions and "little guys." They have also funded millions to charities as well as supporting cultural entities such as the arts. That is, "little guys" have benefitted from the self interest of the Koch's in many ways. The Koch's have fiscally and culturally profited society through the profits they generated in their self interest.

The "little guys" provided the labor to help the Koch's do their work.

"Koch brothers work for their own self interest"

They have over 100,000 employees. Seems to me, that what's good for the company, is good for plenty of little guys.

Here in CT, we have unionized UCONN professors with pensions above $300k year, and the state just stopped funding military honors at funerals for deceased vets.

Those awesome unions, just looking out for the little guy. They did wonders for the little guys in Detroit.
