You mean the fake made up person that broke the story? Plus, how many "patriots" have you seen that wear khakis, don't have big guts and are clean cut?

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
So you're saying the dudes in khakis are plants and not really MAGAts? Do you have proof other than questioning the identity of the person who broke the story? Or are you falling in with MTG in stating “No Patriot group I’ve ever seen wears khakis, Stormtrooper knee pads, and covers their faces like they’re scared. Just more movie characters.”SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 4:52 pmYou mean the fake made up person that broke the story?

I don't doubt we have plenty of nut jobs on the right, but I'm not buying that group wasn't anything other than theater.
They remind me of the guys who had the tiki torches a couple years ago. They start smashing shit like Antifa, then we can include them in the same discussion, but marching around in khakis and flags leaves me underwhelmed.
If even remotely dangerous, they are infiltrated worse than Gretchen Whitmers kidnapping team. I thought for sure I was going to see Ray Epps out there with them.

So no proof other than Rogan's opinion. You can't duck everything. The nutjobs on the right are just as fvcking crazy and unpatriotic as the nutjobs on the left. Pretending they don't really exist and are left-wing/government frame jobs doesn't make them go away.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 7:43 pmYep. Fake.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 6:46 pm

Can you give me a link, or any proof, they have done anything more than put on their cleetsesque pressed khakis and marched like a bunch of douchebags, or held a few Ace and Gary retreats?They for sure must have some instance in which they busted someone up who wasn't white. Broke some windows? Set a cross on fire in a minority's yard?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/patri ... y-dc-fake/However, several figures from the American right sought to undermine the authenticity of the rally, claiming variously that it was conducted by federal law enforcement agents in disguise, and/or left-wing agents provocateurs, or actors. For example, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., described the men shown in one video as “movie characters”:
“No Patriot group I’ve ever seen wears khakis, Stormtrooper knee pads, and covers their faces like they’re scared. Just more movie characters.”
For his part, right-wing commentator Dinesh D’Souza speculated that the event was “fake,” and conducted by “FBI agents,” and asked “Where are the media interviews so we can see and hear directly from this group?”
On Telegram, far-right conspiracy theorist Jacob Wohl claimed “these are feds,” on the basis that the men shown in videos appeared to be unusually slim, and Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, a prominent supporter of disproven election fraud conspiracy theories, described Patriot Front as a “fake group” composed of “feds.”
On Gateway Pundit, right-wing conspiracy theorist Jim Hoft described the event as “feds on parade,” while on the right-wing website 100 Percent Fed Up, Patty McMurray falsely described Patriot Front as “a group no one has ever heard of.”
While McMurray and others may not have been aware of Patriot Front’s existence before December 2021, it is indeed a real, earnestly-motivated white nationalist group with a real, readily verifiable history. Its leader, a 23-year-old Texan named Thomas Ryan Rousseau, is a known far-right and fascist activist in the United States, and he was clearly visible and identifiable at the Dec. 4 National Mall rally.
Claims that the event was faked or staged, by federal agents or actors, are entirely lacking in evidence, and are contradicted by the best available evidence. As a result, we are issuing a rating of “False.”

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Right-wing nutjobs exist and there are plenty of them otherwise we wouldn't have people like MTG, Bobert, Gaetz, Gosar, etc. in Congress. Do I think there are trolls to make the right look bad, both by Feds and left-wingers? Yes, but there are also people out there who buy the MAGAt bullshit and are ready and willing to be trolled and taken advantage of. Just because it was Feds trying to stir up the Whitmer kidnapping doesn't mean we shouldn't be concerned about the right-wing nutjobs. Next time it might be a Clive/Ammon Bundy or Randall Weaaver type who rallies them. We need to shine the light on these pseudo-patriots on the right and step on them like cockroaches and we need to do the same to the anarchists on the left.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:38 amSaying THESE idiots are fake <> saying “nut jobs on the right don’t exist”.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 10:49 pm
