Re: tOfficial "The GOP and Mainstream Media is Obsessed With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez" Thread..

[Robert J Sakimano]

We're sorry the Dems elected someone so stupid.   Like her "21 Trillion in Pentagon waste" to fund Medicare for all.....

Problem is that the entirety of funding for the military since 1789 is 18 Trillion....

Yet the TV numbheads take her seriously.   She's an airhead that got lucky and won.  

Lol yeah sorry buddy you’ve abdicated any right to be able to complain about verbal flubs. Probably just go sit on the sidelines for this one champ

Goose loves him some mainstream media analysis of just how ignorant brown women are.

She's so in their heads.

[Robert J Sakimano]

more mainstream media obsession..

Fox News - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was roundly fact-checked this week -- by even liberal-leaning publications -- for suggesting a reported $21 trillion in Pentagon accounting errors could fund most of her proposed "Medicare for all" health care program.

Ocasio-Cortez, one of the highest-profile figures among the new wave of liberal Democrats entering Congress in 2019, cited a Nation story about how $21 trillion in "Pentagon financial transactions" between 1998 and 2015 could not be documented or explained.

she should charge them rent.

oh - and their headline condescendingly refers to her as a "socialist darling"...

Glad we know who Hillary 2.0 is going to be.

[AvgMSUJoe]

432 other House Reps, and a good 96 senators are waiting on coverage of everything they say.

Like 6 have been relevant... Speakers, Minority leaders... That one (r) broad from Maine who gives lip service to not being a fucking nut, but actually is one... and the Arizona dude who is on his way out.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Na. This chick is full on Lefty left.

Even Dems in 'merica will never move to the socialist left she would like (form what I've read, although I could be wrong)... BUT, her having a voice is a big deal... Let the MSM know what a "real" liberal take on things would be. ie. Defund military for "Medicare for All", Socialize private industry for workers benefits., etc. That shit hasn't even crossed the minds of most American's let alone had a voice in serious discussion.

Yep, those issues are always pushed off into the margins. I'd love for her to call out the socialism the 1% like all the money the billionaire NFL owners get when they want to build one of their new super stadiums.

Or the protectionist monopolies the US makes by law....(internet, insurance, drug sales, etc. etc. etc.)

Not actually "socialism" because others are making the cash the govt would be collecting in a socialist setup, but not 'Merican CAPITALISM either...

I know - that's the best thing about the GOP and the mainstream media.. they've sold themselves out so much to a racist, bigoted christian sexual predator that they can never.. ever.. sit in judgment of others.

I mean, of course they will - because that's what professional christians do - but we can just laugh at them.

I'm talking in a more general sense. Political ideologies aside. Fox and others need another lightning rod to get the dummies fired up. She'll do nicely. You'd think at some point the Hillary horse will get beaten to death seeing how she's not in politics anymore. At least to the point where anyone should really give a shit.

yeah - for Fox and the right wing knuckle-draggers, she not only fits the "she's female" narrative of misogyny but also the "and brown" category for the racist bigots.

remember - it took the right and the media a good 15-20 years to fully demonize Hillary.. I mean, a woman who mismanaged an email server vs. a white supremacist who admitted to sexually assaulting women and filed for bankruptcy 5 times..  

so the GOP and media are getting ahead of the game with Ocasio-Cortez.. it'll take a while, as it did with Hillary, to reach ultimate levels of demonization.

I know how much you value intellect and morality.. and she's certainly not in the same intellectual or moral stratosphere as the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator.

so you got me there.

Remember when the racist sexual predator claimed his crowd size was bigger than Obama's? lol!!!

and if you lie about silly, trivial things like that.. what else would one lie about??

I'd rather have a someone who might have alot to learn about how things work than some who's lied about it over 6,000 times. You can always get smarter, but you'll probably never stop lying.

Don't know about that, ever since she was politically "active" when Bill was president they were coming for her... She was the one fighting for universal coverage back when the Republicans thought up Obamacare. As I recall she was one of the first "First Ladies" to actually campaign and push for legislation in that matter. Half of "Whitewater" was to sink her with Bill.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Also remember limbaugh getting flack for being extra nasty to her.

In fact, she coined the term "right-wing media" (& vast right wing conspiracy) prior to them complaining about a liberal Main Stream Media (as if it is actually a thing)....

I know - they've been working for the better part of a generation to demonize her because she's a smart, independent female - looks like Ocasio-Cortez is next.

Hey she can bitch about it, or get on the phone and get some people in there.

[Travis of the Cosmos]

I would venture a guess that she probably did both Roc. You see, a freshman congressperson might have a little more sway by using the soapbox they have in front of them as well to get public support instead of just saying “I want this random person here too” being met with “lol eat shit rookie.”

[Rocinante]

well you'd be guessing then, Travis.

[Dr. Strangelove]

She's a great Twitter follow.

[steveschneider]

There's value to elevating the public discussion and awareness about it. We've all known this shit goes on, can't recall another representative speaking openly about this stuff.

Exactly. The fact she may not have known this was SOP is great. I'm glad she didn't know, I'm glad she's surprised, I'm glad she didn't just tow the line and went public.

[Rocinante]

You know why I have a modicum of respect for Ted Cruz? (I just threw up a little in my mouth) Because everyone in congress hates his guts, but he's used disruption and unbending dogmatic refusal to compromise to achieve outsized power. I know this new class will likely be brought to heel and will fit in with the moderate wing of the party that leads it. I just wish we could be radical for one fucking minute. It's all about the Benjamins.

They’re not even in congress yet Roc. Hold on a little bit and at least let them find out where the bathrooms are before condemning them maybe.

[Rocinante]

I’m not condemning them. Most of them have already started moderating their words.

Which, as future women, is a good thing. They're actually ahead of the curve.

[Robert J Sakimano]

more mainstream media whining about the brown lady who dared to get into public service..  

Fox News - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promises that going green – removing all fossil fuels from our energy mix – will “establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States.”

In fact, her proposal would cripple our economy and hurt our poorest citizens.

Caution: Mainstream Media Link

[Rocinante]

The misogynists are pouring out of the woodwork against her. Right left and center. People are pieces of shit.

[Dendrobates]

I am following her on Twitter now, and I really like her. I think the GOP is scared of her and her following. She is young, motivated, and gaining popularity. I think she has a lot to offer.

I think she needs to be a little careful though. She comes off as cocky and condescending, which could bite her back in the future.
