Easy to make these claims from Martha's Vineyard. No way she ever returns to a neighborhood with people who look like her because she'd make the exact same assumptions about people who look like her.

Wasn't it reported that her two daughters were "doing" Ol' Hunter?

He's white isn't he?

Obama also elaborated on the fears she has for her daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama.

“Every time they get in a car by themselves, I worry about what assumption is being made by somebody who doesn't know everything about them,” Obama said. “The fact that they are good students and polite girls. But maybe they're playin' their music a little loud. Maybe somebody sees the back of their head and makes an assumption”

It's incomprehensible that the Right can't tee this narrative up and hit it 500 yards the right direction down the fairway.

I could easily see either one of those two mouthing off to the police.

No chance with dishonest institutions - media, education, etc.

Tucker is the biggest thing going, and he says stuff like that frequently. But when it's Tucker vs 10,000 voices all calling him racist with blue check marks, he's got no chance with the soft middle of the country. They want nothing to do with taking on those violent, fascist zealots

This comment is so infuriating. He knows this statement is complete bullshite and would never happen to "his" girls. This man is making this shite up just to keep the narrative going.

But that's assuming the only way to reach the American people is through corporate media on-air suits & skirts. I'm no expert, but that doesn't seem right to me. The narrative is so dramatically false it shouldn't be impossible.

I have a feeling it's the Right's steadfast refusal to organize/fund that's behind our inability to push back against insanely false narratives like this one.

I think organizing is going to be hard. Not to say it can't/shouldn't be done, but at least in something akin to what the left does - difficult. Because the right is the party with families, with actual roles in their communities, their churches, running businesses, employing people. Nobody said it would be easy, but asking people with little kids and a business to run to get in the streets where a DA is itching to nail them to the wall just isn't the same as asking the same of a heroin addict gutter punk in Berkley or Portland.

I do think some people will ultimately have to do those things and pay the price to normalize the behavior for others. But in the meantime - we do have money. And we're not using it in the right places, IMO. Stop giving to political PACs and start crowdfunding $$$ to destroy purveyors of wokism. Fund competing businesses. Put up billboards. Pay picketers. Boycott. Bully their suppliers. Make them miserable. Destroy their livelihoods.

1. It's because we have kids and are active in churches, schools and communities, and have businesses to run/careers to purse - it's those reasons why it's imperative we engage the Left, or else we won't have those things anymore.

2. I'm not talking about taking to the streets to burn stuff down or confront the assholes. And you touch on what needs to be done - stop funding the organizations that have failed us, that's step one. But step two is to develop/fund new initiatives/efforts. I'll give you an example - - - I live in Phoenix, have tried to organize a charity that would, while doing good work with illegals, end up busing them to Vermont and New Hampshire (for obvious political reasons-whitest states in the country and congressional delegations consistently voting for open borders). Conservatives love the idea - "that's what we need, for their schools to have to deal with 25% more students overnight, none of them able to speak English, like we have to), but then they go quiet. I tried this in 2001 and again recently. Had in 2001 solicited the help of a former R-house member. And to be clear, I've been successful organizing/getting funded other substantial efforts (founded a company that build a chemical plant in India). That's not to say that perhaps I don't know how to organize something political, but then that's sort of the problem on the Right - nobody does. I bet there are hundreds of similar stories out there.

Consider this, too - there has to be a few thousand guys that routinely check in on PT and most are conservative; has anything that started here developed into something real offline? Why not? You think this many libs could meet (even digitally) this often and nothing ever happens offline? And PT is largely populated by professionals - well educated, loads of interesting experience, and clearly wealthier than your typical liberal group.

Lol, if her daughter were Asian, she might have something to fear from the "folks" carrying out these daily attacks.
