    One person can be outraged, assuming it was just the one guy.

    AKA - the "Demographic Time Bomb".

    The Republican party needs to change its platform or it will go down hard - Just as Goldwater (Godfather of Conservatism) predicted when the religious right took over.

    The Dems on the other hand need to get it together and come right from the leftist dark side .. If they moderate just a bit they will be extremely tough to beat going forward.

    So the MSM wrote stories on the outrage of an unknown and now deleted Twitter account?

    Is that your argument?

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris.jpg


    Hello. I am curious to learn if Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has the ballz and fortitude to join Oprah and our Nation's medical professionals declaring War on a significant population of mostly American Moms failing to recognize that placing ABOVE ALL ELSE the emotional well being of our Nation's most precious and cherished assets, will most likely result with a fairly or wonderfully happy child maturing into a reasonably responsible teen and adult citizen caring about their own well being, as well as embracing compassion, empathy and respect for their peaceful and less fortunate neighbors?

    Now that American medical professionals and 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim-survivor Oprah Winfrey LOUDLY addressed our Nation's *CHILD CARE* PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, will Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, a responsible, caring American citizen join Oprah & Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, MD, FAAP, MPH, pediatrician & CEO of the 'Center For Youth Wellness', in passionately calling for a National MOVEMENT educating American & foreign born primary child caregivers about a potentially life scarring medical disease/condition:

    "Childhood Trauma" aka
    "Adverse Childhood Experiences" (#ACEs)

    ___
    During a March 11, 2018 '60 Minutes' segment titled, "Treating Trauma," Oprah Winfrey, a 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim-survivor, shared knowledge regarding America's easily PREVENTABLE, though potentially life scarring *CHILD CARE* PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.

    EYE-OPENING knowledge Oprah exuberantly confirms is a "game changer."

    YouTube search terms: "Oprah Winfrey 'Fixing The 'Hole In Your Soul'"


    ___
    The late 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim Tupac Shakur's T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. Child Abuse, Emotional Neglect, Abandonment & Maltreatment *AWARENESS-PREVENTION* concept applies to American and foreign born citizens of ALL backgrounds:

    T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. - "The Hate U Give Little Infants Fvvks *EVERYONE"* ~Tupac Shakur

    _tupac burke harris AWARENESS.png

    Peace.

    I don’t know. Is that what they’ve been saying? I haven’t been keeping track of this story besides the article in the OP, which wasn’t focusing on outrage. It focused on a right-wingers attempt to make fun of her, yet the plan backfired.

    So yes, outrage was the wrong word on my part in my first post. A smug sense of superiority probably would have been the better choice of words considering the comment included with the video. But my comment also wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, either. I’d thought that would have been obvious.

    Could you link me to some other articles that have been referring to it as conservative outrage? If there are, then yes, that would be my point.

    No one made fun of her dancing. They're just making fun of the ridiculously stupid things she says, and the stupid ideas she comes up with like 70% tax rates, how we should invent technology that hasn't even been invented yet, and how the government lost $21 trillion dollars (a hilarious amount) but she wants the government to run your healthcare anyway, seemingly oblivious to the stupidity of what she's saying.

    I looked at the video for a few seconds, shrugged, and turned it off.

    The meme about "How it feels when you get to the front of the breadline and there's still bread" gave me a good laugh, but other than that, no one gave a crap about this stupid video.

    The narrative behind this entire farce is a play, an act, a fake creation of fake news by a fake media trying to craft their own version of reality.

    We're not having it.

    You guys do realize there will be none of this talk of how folks like or dislike a socialist politician when things change, right? Free speech is not allowed for certain folks.

    Have we already started that?

    The comment posted with the video stated: “Here is America’s favorite commie know-it-all acting like the clueless nitwit she is...” you’re saying that the phrase “acting like” is in reference to the stupid things she says? Seriously? Did she even say anything in the video?

    Oh, but no one’s mocking her dancing.

    Okay, so I admit my knowledge of the story is based only on the one article in the OP, so I may be missing something. However, really all this article stated was that some right-wing twitter user posted this video to make fun of her, but in the end, it went viral because most people viewing it thought she was awesome.

    Has this story left any details out? What part of the narrative is untrue? Or do you mean there are other MSM articles that are mischaracterizing it as outrage, as I mistakenly did in my early joke? Can you link those articles for me?

    Yeah. By the anonymous person who RELEASED the video. That is now deleted.

    Please don't insult my intelligence by trying to say that this is a valid source to base your criticism on, or any type of argument whatsoever.

    What conservative got a hold of a college video no one else seems to have, released it anonymously, then deleted the account?

    And if so, why would they do it that way?

    Also, why would the MSM pick up on the story within such a short time of one unknown, unverified Twitter account releasing it?

    My main question is whether having the second dancing woman be a redhead was deliberate or a coincidence.

    Looked her up. She is the product of a single mother, along with being a professional MMA fighter. She fights for folks other than you. I doubt she cares what a man thinks of her.

    It’s been up on YouTube since at least 2010.

    I’d say probably about 50% of Twitter users are anonymous. That’s nothing unusual.

    Maybe didn’t want to continue to see all the replies to post.

    [/quote]And if so, why would they do it that way?[/QUOTE]

    Because that’s what people do on Twitter.

    Because it so quickly went viral.

    Wow. I use the word “outrage” and I’m bombarded with post from multiple members demanding proof, and now you turn around with a completely baseless conspiracy theory.

    So... prove it.

    So an anonymous account with no followers released a video on twitter and within an hour was picked up by the MSM?

    And the MSM ran with the story without confirming a source that was now deleted?

    And the MSM started talking about how "conservativeS" plural were outraged over the video?

    That's your argument?

    Twitter users don't create accounts, release video's that no one else has, then delete them.

    But sure, some random guy on the internet was able to get a video of Sandy dancing on a roof in college and no one knows how or who did it.

    I’m an anonymous user without any followers on twitter, too. I guess I’m just a bot.

    And the tweet was released on Wednesday, but the earliest article I can find on it is from Thursday. Can you clarify your “within an hour” comment?

    Because it became a viral video and it’s about a very popular politician, one both sides seem to enjoy reading about.

    I’m still looking for the word outraged in all these MSM outlets. I’ve seen mocked, threatened, and weaponized, but not outraged, except FOX. Are you talking about FOX?

    The possibly mistaken use of plural doesn’t prove a conspiracy.

    I’ve already retracted my use of it.

    Please. I read about such stories all the time. Some twitter user makes a dumb comment, gets trolled to hell for it, and soon deletes the whole account because just dropping the tweet doesn’t always guarantee the trolling will stop.

    It’s been on YouTube since at least 2010. I told you that already. Stop insulting your own intelligence.

    So... prove it?

    Do you have videos of Sandy and is the MSM re-tweeting you? No?

    Look, believe what you want, I don't care.

    The nonsense of "conservative outrage" is clearly fake nonsense spread by MSM and their mindless followers.
