Ace on ‘Context’

The thuggery against Tabitha Hale compels him: The media slips an awful lot past the public with the word “context.” They frequently claim they don’t carry stories like this because the “context” doesn’t support making it worthy of mention. . . . 1. We don’t have to patrol the left for violence because the left […]

Michael Moore: Own a Gun? Racist!

“There’s a reason why we want to own these guns. . . . The vast majority of these guns are owned by people who live in safe parts of town, or mostly in suburbs and rural areas, places where there are very few murders. . . . Why do you have a gun? What are […]

Fear and Loathing in Cairo

“In this case, rightwingers who have an interest in stoking fear and loathing of Muslims worldwide pounced at the opportunity to smear all Egyptians with this crime.
