That kind of talk isn’t Kosher. LOL
Back when NPR was willing to go after Dems.

Sorry, but this plays right into the “Jews control the media” trope.
I wonder how prevalent this belief is.

I think there is a fair discussion to be had about how awful Democrats and libtards are, and I think people would be much more willing to engage with you on it if there was even an iota of occasional acknowledgement that your "side" can be pretty despicable, too.
That might not seem fair, and in the past I've said it really isn't far. But so be it.

Why shouldn’t he just be cut by the team, or suspended by thre league?
If there is any consistency there, it is that Irving expects to be able to say what he wants and not be held accountable. Here are some of the things that the movie he linked to, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” contains:
• An attributed quote from Adolf Hitler saying that “White Jews know that the Negroes are the real children of Israel and to keep America’s secret, the Jews will blackmail America.”
• A discredited quote misattributed to Harold Wallace Rosenthal, an aide to Sen. Jacob K. Javits in the 1970s, which said Jewish Americans had established five falsehoods as part of a plan to take over the world. One of the five stated falsehoods was that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.
“Did I hurt anybody?” Irving asked. “Did I harm anybody?”
The millions of Jewish people who know about the horrors of the Holocaust and the long history that predates World War II of societies using tropes to scapegoat their ancestors would surely say yes, he did hurt and harm a lot of people. For somebody who declares himself to have an open mind, he sure seems closed off whenever honest criticism is directed his way. He deflects, and he gets defensive.
“Can you please stop calling it a promotion?” Irving said when Friedell challenged him. “What am I promoting? I’m promoting it? … Don’t dehumanize me out here.”

The difference being that Republican anti-Semites are rightfully mocked/voted out of office, while Democrat anti-Semites are rising stars given an outsized platform. They even give them cute nicknames!

Marjorie Taylor Green is a rising star in the party and has speculated that a Jew space laser caused various California wild fires.

Republicans are assumed to be racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. And, if a homeless, drug addicted, nudist activist, with mental illness, from Berkeley, commits a crime of violence, and republicans have to defend themselves for inspiring him, then shouldn’t we be curious about how big an issue these conspiracy theories about Jews are when so many prominent African-Americans give voice to them, over a course of decades? Why would we look at Ye or Kyrie as if they were isolated incidents?

MTG is widely considered to be a fool, and the media is not afraid to say so.

The MSM works to rehab the reputations of politicians and media figures like Sharpton, Jackson and Omar.

She's going to be Vice President of the United States. 🙄 I'm mostly joking about that. It would almost certainly be DeSantis. But she's certainly popular among Trumpists, no?

Certainly anecdotal, but I have never had a single conversation with any of my network of conservative acquaintances about Marjorie Taylor Greene. And I can't remember any of them posting about her the way they do Trump. Her influence is mostly a media creation. Outside Georgia -- where we know people are nuts -- I don't think she moves the needle.
