There's a reason his nickname, for years, has been "Distort D'Newsa".

He's a charlatan and a liar, who pled guilty to laundering republican campaign contributions in 2014.

While editor of the Dartmouth Review, he stole correspondence from the school's Gay Student Alliance and published it, outing several gay students to friends and family and driving one to consider suicide - claiming he just wanted to make sure they weren't using university funding for "gay parties, gay orgies, or whatever." When The Nation published an article claiming that D'Souza had stolen the correspondence, D'Souza wrote asking for a retraction, calling the piece "lies from the loony left", and sending articles which he said would clear his name. But because he's a fucking moron, the articles he included showed that the claim was true - they included a piece written under his byline that featured excerpts from gay students' correspondence.

He's kinda racist - and by kinda racist, I mean he's fucking racist. He attacked Obama like it was his job, and you know whatever, fine, attack Obama all you like if you've got solid arguments - but he didn't. Instead, he was a "birther" conspiracist nutjob like our current dear president and attacked him on made up nonsense such as alleged support of Brazilian offshore drilling with US taxpayer money - which, surprised surprise, was total bullshit.

And then there's this...

"Dese boys be sayin' that we be comin' here to Dartmut an' not takin' the classics. You know, Homa, Shakesphere; but I hea' dey all be co'd in da ground, six feet unda, and whatchu be askin' us to learn from dem?" - Dinesh D'Souza mocking the way black students supposedly speak while editing for the Dartmouth Review

Not only that but he interviewed a KKK member for the same paper and showcased his interview with a photo of a black man hanging from one of the campus trees. Classy.

All this from a guy who wrote a book called "The End of Racism". Within which, he literally defended segregation, arguing that... "Segregation was intended to assure that blacks, like the handicapped, would be insulated from the radical racists and - in the paternalist view - permitted to perform to the capacity of their arrested development." It was for their own protection guys! Totally ok!

Some more choice quotes from that disgusting tome of racism:

"Increasingly it appears that it is liberal antiracism that is based on ignorance and fear: ignorance of the true nature of racism, and fear that the racist point of view better explains the world than its liberal counterpart."

"The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well."

"If America as a nation owes blacks as a group reparations for slavery, what do blacks as a group owe America for the abolition of slavery?" - this one is so hilariously illogical I had to read it twice because I thought for sure I read it wrong the first time.

The book's racist declarations were so extreme that two prominent African-American conservatives, Robert Woodson, Sr. and Glenn Loury, renounced their affiliation with the American Enterprise Institute to protest AEI's sponsorship of the book.

I could go on, but it's kind of pointless. If you can't tell he's a moron by listening to him speak, then nothing I say is going to help.

It's funny that they think it's okay to openly discuss actual Nazi ideas.

Nobody is telling them (neo-nazis) what to think or say. By saying "fuck off", they are telling them to stop propagandizing and harassing other people.

I just want to be clear that this post is literally defending Nazis. Do you want to be on that side?

If they stick to words, not actions,

Oh you mean if they do something they are already not doing

Fuck off, nazi.

[–]Ryhlac 19 points20 points21 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

For one, you don't know whether this guy is a Nazi. He has a sign. It supports free speech and open mindedness. For all you know he could be in a freaking debating club, but you assume he is a Nazi because someone has a sign that says "fuck off Nazis".

Secondly, this guy isn't being violent. We have no proof that he was violent. We can not know if he will be violent. Right now, this specific dude sticks to words, not actions. Even if he is a Nazi, he is not doing anything wrong.

You are assuming that he is a Nazi l based on his sign which has nothing to do with Nazism, and the lady's sign which she didn't paint specifically for him. You have no reason to believe that he is a Nazi, other than your own prejudices.

You are also assuming that he is criminal based on this belief that he is a Nazi, without any reason. Oh sure, other protesting Nazis were violent and had guns. Do you see guns? No. Do you see violent behaviour? No.

If you show me any proof that he is a criminal, I will spin on a fucking dime and condemn him, but until then he can say and write whatever the fuck he wants.

I love the implicit assumption that the Nazis are peaceful (a lie) and that all counter protesters are violent (another lie).

Fuck off, nazi.

Firstly I think it's fucking hilarious all you trumpster psuedo-intellectual retards come out of the wood works at the mention of communism.

1) Both are supported only by the evil and ignorant. 2) They have both killed millions upon millions of people in the last 100 years.

Congrats on getting a history degree from 4chan, the essential far right incubator of the internet.

I'm not even a communist, I've said so in this thread and I've said so plenty of times in the other threads too. Just because I call a duck a duck, doesn't mean I'm communist. Your breitbart headline boogiemen don't apply here, even if that's what you default to out of necessity. You regurgitate the same shit because you all feed off the same source.

That said, here's something for you to chew on: Essentially all communist countries have been actively sabotaged by the states as an effort to undermine communism. Why? Capitalism doesn't work if there's only one country practicing it. The presence of communist countries undermines capitalism. Does that mean communism couldn't work? I don't fucking know. You don't know either, because we haven't had a suitable enough case study to make that judgement. The Soviet Union failed because communism was a false promise used as a pretext for tyrannical rule. That's not a 'proper go' of it enough to actually make a decision. Pretending like you're some expert while you sit in your arm-chair in the moldy piss jug riddled crevice of your mother's basement doesn't mean shit relative to actual, knowledgeable experts. I'm not claiming to be an expert but I'm also taking a pretty moderate stance. You're the one who is regurgitating the same regurgitated propaganda like you're paid for it.

Meanwhile let's talk about how deeply fucked capitalism is. Donald Trump just cut the disaster funding needed to help Harvey victims because they're literally drowning in water while chemical plants blow up because of unfettered capitalist ambitions. Policy makers don't give a fuck about you, they care about their money. Know what that has in common with communism? Tyrannical rule RUINED it. And here's an ironic detail, Flint Michigan still doesn't even HAVE drinkable water because.... again.... unrestricted capitalism. You don't have to look far if you want to find that kind of deal in literally any part of the country. CLEARLY THAT MEANS ALL CAPITALISM IS EVIL AND BOOHOO IT'S A FAILURE!!!! No you retard. It means systems fail when greedy men take rule. See the allegory? it happened with communism too. So instead of literally heeling to your masters and licking their boots (aka voting a republican and spouting the same propaganda that you are now) you could question our current state of affairs and either decide to vote democrat or a third party. But no. OUR REPUBLICAN DaDDIEs will look out for us in our minimum wage joBs! HUR DUR CleAn CoAL!!!!!

Communist rebellions always occur when there is a huge finance gap between social classes. It's no surprise we're seeings an uptick in communist support seeing as the top 1% essentially control many aspects of our lives while forcing us to be over-worked and under paid. (Pick yourself up by the bootstraps ideology is propagated by these 1%s who expect you to come to heel) So unless you're literally a member of the financial elite, you quite literally have no reason to not entertain the idea, at least.

Finally, you're fucking pathetic for trying to compare to the two groups. Both groups are trying to do what they think will make the world a better place. The nazi's want to do that by eliminating literally all non-whites, and jews included systematically, and the communists want government reform. What is so difficult to grasp about that? You're comparing nuclear warheads to apples.
