Kentucky Democrat Defends His ‘Lynching’ Ad While Liberals Berate Him

Democrats in Spencer County chastised one of their own after a derogatory advertisement appeared in the local newspaper.

A tweet surfaced online blasting Democratic candidate Bobby Smith for purchasing a “lynching” ad. The image shown in the Spencer Magnet appears to be four bodies hanging from a tree with the words, “Good Ol Boy System.”

The ad read, “Some hard choices need to be made to make Spencer County great again… I will make those choices.”

A social media user tweeted, “A judge/executive candidate in Spencer County paid for this ad to be placed in a local paper, which is… something.”

Smith justified the ad and told the Courier-Journal he wasn’t trying to mock former lynchings. He said the imagery was more so symbolic of his frustration with this system. He added, “I’m not so much of a party person, but if the liberals in the party find it offensive I will apologize to them.”

Kentucky Democrats got wind of the advertisement and condemned Smith.

“The Kentucky Democratic Party finds this ad to be offensive and appalling given its imagery,” the party tweeted. “There is no defense for making light of lynching. Mr. Smith should rescind it and apologize immediately.”
The tried and true "I'm not apologizing for being a moron, I'm apologizing cuz snowflakes" nopology.

Whenever you feel the urge to cleverly post anything that could be perceived as promoting violence against political opponents, it's always a worth considering, if there's a chance you have to delete, remove, apologize, resign or make a public statement while crying, before you commit.

NRA’s Dana Loesch Says Sessions Should Fire Anti-Christian Bigots at DOJ

The Religious Right’s praise for Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ new religious liberty task force at the Department of Justice this week included an appearance by Family Research Council’s Tony Perkinson NRA TV with Dana Loesch.

Sessions’ task force is charged with overseeing the implementation of religious liberty guidelines for federal agencies that Sessions released last fall in response to an executive order Trump signed in May 2017.

“Anti-Christian bigotry has existed in the Department of Justice,” said Loesch, questioning the need for a task force to make sure that Justice Department employees are doing their jobs. “Why don’t we just fire them?” she asked. “I don’t really want a religious bigot in a place where they can affect everyone’s life and need a task force to make them do their jobs.”

Perkins praised the task force as another action the administration has taken to fulfill Trump’s promises. He called it a “massive clean-up” that he said is necessary because of the Obama administration’s “non-stop attacks on religious freedom.”

Perkins said that “the left” is “adamant against the first freedom”—meaning the First Amendment’s religion freedom protections—and he called for legislation to institutionalize Trump administration actions.

I get what they were going for, but you gotta have the sense to think things like this through with the potential backfire. Can't trust someone that doesn't.
 
I have to laugh at the irony that I am distinctly not from a working class background all while espousing an ideology that champions the rights of labor over capital.
There's a reason why very few revolutions have been led by the working class. Leisure time allows one to step back, see the big picture, and figure out who makes the rules and what they are. If you're poor, every minute of your existence is dedicated to surviving.

And here is what the administration is missing: Among the states (including Washington, D.C.) with the largest percentage increases in immigrants from 2010 to 2016, Trump carried nine of the top 12 and 17 of the total 26 states mentioned. Not just states such as Florida but also North Dakota, West Virginia, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska and Indiana stand to lose if the government adds a citizenship question.
A census that fails to capture their growing immigrant populations is a census that hamstrings the economic vitality of cities and towns in conservative America

In many of these states, communities thrive precisely because of immigrants' contributions. In Iowa, where the immigration population rose 13% between 2010 and 2016 and Trump won 51% of the votes, Storm Lake police Chief Mark Prosser told The New York Times last year that "there are expensive challenges, but which one do you want: a dying community or one that has growth?"
