Let me fix that headline for you Alva:
Racist Pundit Anchor Baby Michelle Malkin Headlines Anti-Vaccine Rally at Colorado Capitol Sunday
The Reich scientists at FOXNews and elsewhere have just recently announced their latest breakthrough discovery, an inoculation against against the scourge of racism: . . .
. . . It can now be perfectly safe to be a freakin’ racist, just as long as you’re an idiot anti-vaxxer, too.
So, these are some of the Revolting Republicans.
I definitely must not be keeping up with such things, but is the anti-vaxxer in the story, Robt. F. Kennedy Jr., really THE RFK of the Kennedy family?
Wasn't he years ago on Air America radio, and with his own shows, and always left wing and liberal? Thanks for educating me.
@joejoe: I don't know about an Air America show as I don't listen to talk radio. However, there does seem to be a good number of left leaning individuals in the anti-vaxxer movement, including Mr. Kennedy.
And many of these same persons who oppose basic vaccinations have also announced their opposition to taking any COVID vaccine. Which is OK with me as I will then get my shot quicker.
hehe, that's very true…….
It boggles my mind – but then some of us boggle their minds
.
Two links I found about Air America radio (2004-2010), this from 2009…… the beginning of the end for it:
vanityfair.com/news/2009/03/what-ever-happened-to-air-america
which is a short article and has good explanations for its demise, both because of the economy back then, but mostly because of the perceived differences in lib vs. cons. listeners' frame of mind, and habits.
Some of the hosts of shows on it went on to have their own programs, including Rachel Maddow and Thom Hartman; Al Franken went to the Senate.
and of course, always wikipedia details……….
Thank you!
It's true, C.H.B. There are anti-vaxxers who yaw left. They're the crunchy granola types and believe vaccines are unnatural and that it's better to build up natural immunity by getting sick and recovering.
Something I think progressives on the Front Range forget about their rural counterparts around the state is how ‘small l’ libertarian-minded most are. Part of it is adaptation – we live out here and have to get along with our near neighbors, who might still be a ways away… some of it is sense, as much as I detested even at the time Reagan’s misappropriation of Lao Tzu, a light hand in managing the state (“like you cook a fish”) is not bad as the default, and that is easier to maintain (or at least seemingly so) in sparsely populated areas…
We live in the sticks for a reason. We want to be left alone and to leave folks alone. That runs across the spectrum, left and right, although there are differences (rural progressives also want funding for health care, and to hold polluters accountable, to address climate change, to challenge police brutality, etc. like the rest).
Sometimes, I think from my 20 years as a rural progressive Coloradan, the strategy, statewide about rural Colorado, has been: Who cares? We have the numbers on the Front Range. Since I prefer good policy over bad, or over needed policy that is lacking, that works for me when necessary. But it is not a substitute for actually building capacity and power.
Because, I also am here because I believe in building capacity up, overtime- that rural organizing can have big dividends, jokes aside about empty land not voting, we also have lots of the water, resources, farms, and playgrounds that make urban-living possible. So justice and fairness and all the values we care about as progressives, need to apply to folk in rural areas too, even those that see progressivism as a Soros-Hillary plot to take their guns and cows away.
Not sure where all this is going, other than in rural Colorado progressives hang together and know each other – And we know our conservative neighbors too. We may work with or be married to them.
Trying to understand your opponent by shoving them into a “crunchy granola type lefty” or the “infested, unwashed ignorant conservative” meme might play out in blogs and base-organizing, but it doesn’t help anything out here. IMO.
Good points, all, Pete. You'll remember that the original motivation for Club 20 being formed was to get at least some funding for highways west of the Divide. Back then, there were a whopping six (6) miles of paved road between Grand Junction and Denver.
it must be the camera angles … cause I don't see any masks among the crowd scene photos for the article. As passionate and evidence based as these folks are supposed to be, I was sure some would be protecting themselves and their families.
Don't be silly, JID. They know God protects them, despite ample evidence she doesn't protect them from the stupid.
