False flag, false news.

There are loads of anecdotes about Trump empowering bigoted chuckleheads. I have a former coworker whose been yelled at from cars for wearing her hijab.

Freepers, who hope for such bigotry, and worse, prefer to believe it isn't happening. I'd like to say that means they know it's wrong, but I think it's more because they think it looks bad when it's not everyone at once.

We can also see their mobilization of a new conspiracy-phrase: 'fake news.'

artichokegrower just stomps his foot and says no.

Since the presidential election, “colored” and “white” signs are being scratched on drinking fountains once again. Muslim families are being harassed on the streets or in restaurants. The words “Sieg Heil,” which resurrect memories of one of the most brutal and sickening periods in history, are being shouted at gatherings. And these are just a handful of the hundreds of reported hate crimes in the last few weeks.

False news, false news, false news.

I guess not able to convince even himself with that argument artichokegrower soon resorts to the group libel:

Muslim families are being harassed on the streets or in restaurants.

Muslim A-holes running over and stabbing college students.

artichokegrower finally takes refuge in the lamest of Freeper cliches.

Democrats are still mad because the Republicans took their slaves away.

Eddie01 knows who the real racists are, and it's all the minorities! Also, no one actually cares about anyone else.

1st clue, left sights scripture.

NAACP... RACIST
Black Panthers... RACIST
La Raza... RACIST
BET... RACIST
BLM... RACIST
CAIR... RACIST

Ain’t nobody lookin’ out for nobody but themselves at the expense of others.

That’s a fact Jack.

A_Former_Democrat also pulls the 'you know who the REAL racists are?'

Work towards ending the REAL hate, that which exists in your political constituencies, Cat.

It’s called taking care of the log in your own eye

A_perfect_lady is pretty sure that a little provable bigotry is counteracted by Drudge making shit up a few years ago:

Hateful behavior emerges again? Was it submerged in the last 8 years? Well... actually, I guess it was, in that the liberal media would never dish up the Knock Out Game and White Girl Bleed a Lot sorts of stories. Kept right quiet about stuff like that.

Witness noted God-botherer HiTech RedNeck really fail at the truth, much less being Christ-like:

I'm still waiting for a single verifiable instance of actual "harassment" (beyond the common level of antagonism that sadly characterizes our officially diversified society).

Mooses pick a lot of fights, however.

Also, verifiable? Anything caught on camera is a false flag, anything not on camera is fake news. It's a perfect system.

ALASKA marshals another Freeper myth about Democrats to distract himself from the stench inside Trump's coalition:

If I’m not mistaken, and I’m not, the VAST majority of mass shootings have been perpetrated by...........DEMOCRATS.

That’s fairly hateful behavior.......
