Just saw this, any truth to it? I only know about Menendez. 

C'mon Mcgruff! You're better than this. Nice bunch of rips on us MN folk though I see. We were the only state that will probably see a DFL house seat go R, and maybe 2 with one still too close to call.

(psst...most probably don't know what "DFL" means)

As for the poster:

• Starting off with the hyperbolic "IQ lower than a salamander" sort of sucks the legitimacy out of that one.  Age-motivated at best.  Ethnicity motivated at worst.
• I don't know much about Menendez.
• The other two are Muslims from Minnesota and as far as I can tell they are being accused of being anti-semetic and/or America-hating because they are Muslims.  Nothing but a xenophobic smear. That said, Keith Ellison (right) was just elected secretary of state and was accused of abusing a former girlfriend.

That's all I needed to know.  Thanks for explaining the two on the right in an educated manner without attempting to throw insults.  I do appreciate it.  (menendez is a pos by the way)

so is the POTUS you seem to align with on many issues , no matter how anyone spins it the POTUS is the biggest peice of shit in the country !

Thank you for that educated comment Jose. Like I said, just wondering if the anti-Semitic comments were true.

I'm not rying to be educated we have you for that here since you are the teacher , your the one who posts a meme and can't figure out if it's true or not lol tell me do you just put something if front of your students without making sure it's legit 1st ?

I didn't want to be a dick, but I seriously question critical thinking skills of people sometimes.  I know you're smarter than posting that meme.

It is after two o'clock, I am not a teacher and this is not my classroom.  However in my eyes by questioning the background of a meme it exemplifies intellectual curiosity.  Students come up to me a lot and ask me about the legitimacy of a political meme; we often analyze each one and try to research the origins of the message.  I actually used meme's when teaching about the Spanish American War since that is pretty much the origin of "fake news."  The majority are complete bull shit; I should have known better than post here since many people can not simply answer a question but I was intrigued by the one I posted.  Again, I don't claim to know every one of the 435 House races that occurred yesterday but I did want to know if their was any truth to the two candidates who were accused of being anti-Semitic.  

I am surprised that after using the same line over hundred times in this forum (an example of an hyperbole) you still can not spell "peice of shit" or use "your" correctly.  (time for someone to know pick up one of my grammar mistakes lol)

I have no urge to rag on you McGruff (and don't like it when people try and rub your career in your face - it's not fair, and nobody should be expected to display what they do for a living here on a message board anyhow). I will say, though, that you might want to stop and think before posting what I saw as a blatantly and obviously islamophic meme in particular. Posting stupid memes and asking questions about them is one thing, but the second I saw a Muslim woman who was just elected to office being called an "anti-semetic America-hater" I knew immediately that it's a much more sinister meme than we should ever be seeing on this forum.

Like I said, I was wondering what the origins of the meme was.  It was all over my facebook feed and I had no clue where the candidates came from except for Menendez.  Sinister Allie?  Come on, this is pretty par for the course on these forums lol.  Seems like as usual the meme was complete bs and was answered by onwis97.

I can't see the meme at work, but I have no issue with you simply asking about it. I don't get why, especially since you have displayed nothing but class repeatedly in the face of attacks on here, you continue to get such abuse. 

I sincerely applaud your candor.

Are racist, xenophobic memes par for the course on these forums? I sincerely haven't noticed that. Only when unsung posts them. Anyway, like I said, I'm not dumping on you about it - just kind of suggesting that you consider not post any more openly xenophobic memes that you think might be accurate, lol, because they never will be.

I think the meme opening with suggesting someone's "IQ was less than a salamander" should be grounds to assume that it is folly and ignore it from the getgo.  That's just me though.

The meme was probably created by a Russian troll farm. Is it sourced? Check the sources of your information and make sure they are legitimate. Facebook isn't doing its job so people have to investigate the origin of things such as that meme. 

Menendez may not be my favorite Senator, but he was acquitted. He should not continue to be tried for crimes he was not found guilty.

I am not a meme creator Allie,  I asked about one.  We often talk about racism and xenophobia on these forums; what is the difference if their is a meme about a candidate who could possibly be both and it is posted and discussed?  Again, I knew nothing about the candidates since they were from the midwest, I was wondering the origins about them.  Maybe they had some merit, maybe the two candidates said something in a speech that was taken out of context or spun.  I honestly had no clue.

That discredits the entire thing though as slanted crap for the landfill of shit that is out there.  I see stuff on social media all the time and a "salamander" can normally figure out what is nonsense in about .002 seconds, and keep scrolling.


I have a group of friends in a private group on facebook, and like 75% of the content is posting this stuff and making fun of the comments that take it seriously. (from both sides, but most of it is from 1 side tbh).

Pretty sure the two politicians are muslim... may have something to do with the anti-semetic issue but i have no clue either way, just my guess thats the motivation. 

Did Ellison commit domestic abuse? I have no clue
