TYT: (WARNING) Insanely Racist Audio Busts Michael Dunn Defender



HLN regular, Frank Taaffe, is saying a bunch of ridiculous and outrageously racist things on twitter and, unsurprisingly, claims his account was hacked. Unfortunately, he said similar things on his podcast. Oops. He also disgustingly said a black life was validated when a white person killed them and disgustingly called Oprah the n-word.

when to be openly racist like this was an embarrassment to the family and community. I am hoping that like lancing a festering cyst, all this openness is a step in removing this infection in human culture and heal us.

To. The. Wall.


Every time someone denies ANYTHING anymore, I think about how this fucking sociopath just looked right into the camera and denied it.

I start to feel bad for the truly innocent, because of shitheads like this, nobody is going to believe a fucking thing anyone says in their own defense anymore.

Shameless, sociopath, racist, villain.
What a horrible example of humanity.

For giving this scum airtime and a platform to spew his hate all throughout her shows ever since his buddy GZ murdered a child.

Like attracts like I suppose.

the reprobates that give him a platform.

There have always been the dregs of society spewing their moronic bullshit, but they weren't treated as if their points mattered on national television.

What's next Nancy Grace and HLN? Giving a platform to a mental patient to give the pro side of publicly masturbating in a playground?

They brought this guy on because they needed to have somebody taking up Dunn's side of the argument.

But why? Dunn's actions are totally indefensible. You'll notice that Fox didn't even try to take up his cause like they did with Zimmerman.

There's no need to present the other side of the argument when said position amounts to lunacy.

Before I heard those comments I knew Taaffe's defense of Zimmerman had to be racially motivated because it couldn't be reasonably explained in any other way.
