I can see it.

Clearly just a simple copy-paste error from their official Facebook memo

So are we at the point where these media douchebags are openly making the claim that the phrase "far right" means nothing except "says things that average Americans won't agree with? Because that's a pretty slippery slope if so.

Not openly, but it's pretty obvious that they're using it as a smear label with the assumption that most people won't actually bother to look into it

He is far right, aren't most muslims far right?

Belief in a select class making rules im the better interest of the lower class. Check

Socially conservative. Check

Heck he is even anti abortion

Only in america where media has redefined right as "christian evangelical" is he considered left

Look at all those filthy right wingers hanging out together

Obama's close association with a terrorist in Bill Ayers and with a different hate monger in Jeremiah Wright didn't derail his campaign, why would Farrakhan?

because it makes him a right winger

a far right winger

Maybe the appropriate thing to do to fight back is spam flag all politicians and celebrities as all being far right. That way these companies lose their influence when nobody can actually be on the platform

Let’s get the insanity started!!!! https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1124374499154169857?s=21

Is this the “It’s just in the wrong hands.” tard?

It's the "we're banning steel and glass from new building construction" genius

wasn't he also talking about banning hot dogs?

(well, not banning, but removing them from government funded locations like schools, hospitals, and the like)

How do retards like this get votes?

(and I believe it was meat in general, but this is NYC we're talking about, so...)

Making all hotdogs out of maggots.

@amlam they get voted in by the 9,000 IQ, galaxy brained NYC citizenry

so smarty

Sarcasm does not write well, @Dan V.

ain't that the truth

@wolfman1911
I just saw this posted elsewhere, and it's a better-articulated version of how I responded to you yesterday:
```Buzzwords like 'far-right' are used to create a Pavlovian response of disgust towards anybody painted as such, so that the average person not only avoids, but reviles what they have to say.```

Whether or not any journalists would admit such a thing is a different matter

As other have pointed out, how often do they use far-left. I think that shows they know what they're doing

In another case of "the left can't meme," I bring you this, something that I assume was made with the intent of mocking Republican Congressmen, but is actually pretty cool. https://www.amazon.com/White-Walkers-Senators-2019-Calendar/dp/B07JJTWTF4

You know those guys you *hate*? Now you can be constantly reminded of them by hanging their faces on your wall!

Exactly. I've never much cared for the 'living rent free in their head' line too much, but after seeing so many unironic demonstrations that it's true, I'm coming around.
