Thursdays are generally slow news days so the liberal media put its heads together and came up something to occupy the space they had reserved for President Trump’s impeachment. According to the fake news industry, white-hating anti-Semite Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is actually a right-wing extremist. Rather than apologize for aligning with this hateful kook, liberals are trying to pass him off to conservatives. No thanks. You keep him and his apocalyptic leftist insanity.
The Washington Post apparently doesn’t give a flying fart about it’s reputation for printing fake news, because this was one of their headlines today: Facebook bans far-right leaders including Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos for being “dangerous”
Here’s a screenshot because they actually went back and changed it:
And here’s some stuff from the original article:
Facebook said on Thursday it has permanently banned several far-right figures and organizations including Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Infowars host Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Laura Loomer, for being “dangerous,” a sign that the social network is more aggressively enforcing its hate speech policies under pressure from civil rights groups.
After getting dragged all over the Internet, the WaPo was forced to issue a correction. The headline was changed to: Facebook bans extremist leaders including Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos for being “dangerous.”
And they included this disclaimer:
Correction: Louis Farrakhan is an extremist leader who has espoused anti-Semitic views,” the paper wrote an update added to the top of the story. “An earlier version of this story and headline incorrectly included him in a list of far-right leaders.
While the WaPo reluctantly walked back their attempt at a “Farrakhan is right-wing” narrative the rest of the liberal media went ahead as planned. Here’s WaPo reporter Wesley Lowery defending his employers:
1. It’s perilous to force strict left/right labels and framing onto political extremists 2. Even an elementary understanding of Farrakhan’s beliefs places him on the American political right 3. People assume the opposite cause he and his followers are black

It is true that, to extent he remains politically connected currently, it is to black figures on the American left (who embrace him for his work/reputation in black communities – often their constituents). But Farrakhan’s rhetoric/ideology is black conservative (ie. rightwing)

Louis Farrakhan wants to wipe out the Jews and white people to establish a blacks-only society. Can you think of anyone else who had a similar ideology? Like maybe that Hitler guy who was the head of the National Socialists German Worker’s Party? For the record, nazis, socialists, and Farrakhan are all as left-wing as they come. Even Farrakhan’s segregationist ideas are more in line with the Southern democrats (leftists) than anything on the conservative side.
Adam Swerer from the Atlantic also felt the need to defend this nonsense:
I’m an ethnic nationalist and religious fundamentalist who believes black people need to get off welfare, homosexuality is an abomination, and that women’s proper role is to stay home and take care of their children.
Who am I?

This is, in no sense new for anyone who has actually engaged with this stuff https://t.co/N1EkU8IC5a pic.twitter.com/ub5OWvNb8E

So being suspicious of whitey makes someone right-wing? The pretty much describes all black people which brings up an important question: If blacks are right-wing, why do they vote almost exclusively for left-wing democrats? I bet Farrakhan would chalk it up to white people being devils.
This is most likely part of a coordinated effort by the left to make themselves look less horrible than they are. They’re just going to pass all of their losers on us. Bill Clinton’s sexual predation is a source of embarrassment for them, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the WaPo tried to claim he was actually a Republican. While they’re at it they might as well rewrite the history of the democrats’ shameful racism and blame slavery, genocide, segregation, and internment on the GOP while claiming Abe Lincoln as one of their own.
