Wonkette: New York Times Gives Fascist Republican Gavin McInnes A Sweet, Loving Tongue Bath
<snip>
"Hey! Remember this weekend when the New York Times got dragged all over the place for calling Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes a "provocateur" like he's some edgy new performance artist or 1980s Madonna instead of a deranged, violent bigot?
Well, they doubled down on that one again yesterday with a saccharine, both sides-y profile by Alan Feuer titled "Proud Boys Founder: How He Went From Brooklyn Hipster to Far-Right Provocateur."
With his egghead glasses, pocket-protector and heavy-drinking, angry-nerd aesthetic, Mr. McInnes has in recent years set himself apart from the current crop of professionally outraged right-wing pundits, not only for being able to spout aggressive rhetoric, but also for being willing to get physical at times.
His obsessions seem to be more cultural than political. Mr. McInnes, a fiscal conservative and libertarian, calls himself a champion of Western values and reserves a burning ire for the political correctness of people on the left whom he describes as busybodies who have lost their sense of humor.
There is a admiration in this description, as if it might be reasonably followed by "He's a rebel and he'll never, ever be any good." As if Feuer can't help but swoon a little over how very cool he thinks McInnes is. After all, he used to be a hipster. From Brooklyn! And he is "willing to get physical at times," like a manly man. Shouldn't all of us be "willing to get physical at times," in service to our principles and (white) nation? Perhaps while chasing people down the street, delivering a gang-style beatdown, and screaming "FAG"?"

Meanwhile at the liberal Guardian...
Ann Coulter believes the left has 'lost its mind'. Should we listen?
The bestselling author has been criticized for dog-whistling to the far right. Now she’s taking aim at the left – can progressives learn anything from their sworn enemy?

"If I were the Democrats,” Ann Coulter tells me on a recent morning in New York, “I would admit that we have totally effed over our working class, admit that there are legitimate complaints, that heroin coming over the southern border is destroying America. The Democrats could 100% steal the White House from Trump, because he’s not doing it.”
In person, Coulter, the bestselling author and personality who has recently taken to comparing the liberal media to cancer cells, is friendly and seemingly earnest. Her face is free of the smirk it often wears in photos, but she has the same long, lean features and razor-straight hair that have been plastered on the dustjackets of so many books, and the same unblinking intensity....
(sorry I could go no further).

Parting words from one of the 20 people who recced that garbage (9 of which who were eventually PPRed, flagged, or didn't agree to TOS):
"Well done, DU, you chased me off. Enjoy the New World Order you're helping to create. I have better things to do ... like, resist it. When you are up against the wall, you will be shown no mercy. You only have yourself to blame. Oh, and David ... when your children ask you how you contributed to the revolution, that moment of hesitation--before you lie to them--that, is your conscience. Instead of ignoring that voice, you should have been listening to it. Alas, everyone has a price, don't they? One more thing: Fuck you, Hillary Clinton. You are a fucking c*** (asterisks mine), and your loyal followers are future casualties. Only then will the problem be solved. Until then ...
