National Anthem (spinoff from a Dolphins Thread)

[Spider-Dan]

Over 2/3rds of Telemundo viewers thought Trump won the debate and many of the things that are being "exploited" on liberal news are being touted on others.

The poll you are referring to was a poll on Twitter, which (like all internet polls that are not conducted in a scientific manner) can easily be swarmed by supporters who are sharing a link.  Outlets like Newsweek reported that 66% of "Spanish-speaking American Telemundo viewers" thought Trump won, but in an unscientific self-selected Twitter poll, there's no way to know if the respondents were a) Spanish-speaking, b) American, or even c) Telemundo viewers.  All that you can know is that they have access to Twitter.

There is a long history of the internet clowning open polls on the web.

Very true...some people can't recognize a conman and a liar to save their life.

So, you have an organization whose charter specifically says that they are anti-immigrant...and you want me to believe that a group of anti-immigrants who also organizes violent attacks on BLM demonstrations ISN'T racist?

There's this bridge I'd like to sell ya, CF...you seem like the perfect person to buy it.

 

Don't take it from me. Take it from their chairman who happens to be Latino.  This is a great video of how the media is lying to all of us.

I don't know that "We can't be racist, one of our members is black" or "We can't be sexist, here's a woman that agrees with us" has the impact you think it does.  For example, I think most people - including Colin Kaepernick, who started the protests during the national anthem - are aware that black police officers exist.

I have a black friend.

Oh, and just as a counterbalance to the video of the Proud Boys chairman (who is a Latino, mind you!) with some very noble and upstanding interpretations of their mission, here is the founder of the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, with a slightly less nuanced take on what the Proud Boys are about:

You'll love this bridge! And I'll sell it to ya on the cheap, just because I like ya...

Wilfred Reilly, associate professor of political science at Kentucky State University, said Wednesday that “the Proud Boys aren’t white supremacists,” describing the right-wing group’s beliefs as “Western chauvinist” and noting that their international chairman, Enrique Tarrio, is Black.

If I were the head of an anti-immigrant militia group that targets BLM protests, I'd tell people I'm not a white supremacist every chance I got.

Kind of like Donald Trump telling everyone how smart he is every chance he gets...despite being a complete moron.
