Oh? More like: Racist comments by dems...conspicuously taken out of context and spread on far right conspiracy theory websites without giving their audience the full story (gee, wonder why?)
Racist comments by repubs....taken with full context and in broad daylight... and when repubs claim "fake news!" and that it is out of context, well, then, the full audio proves otherwise. Case in point? Hmmmm, oh, here's one from just yesterday (shocking how easy they are to locate, right?)!
The congressman disputed a story we reported. We stand by it.
Last week, Adam Rubenstein visited Iowa to report on Steve King’s re-election effort. He filed severalpiecesfrom there, including one that reported on comments King made before a small meeting with voters in Webster City. The headline of that article was: “ Did Steve King Just Refer to Immigrants as ‘Dirt?’” In the story, Adam reported on a jocular exchange King had with a supporter, in which King says that if he wants to grow spicy jalapenos, he’ll have to import dirt from Mexico. When King laughs at his comment, an attendee interjects, saying the dirt from Mexico is already “on the way.” King agrees, saying, “there’s plenty of dirt" coming from Mexico, the West Coast and other places, too. “This is the most dirt we’ve ever seen.” Adam transcribed and printed the entire exchange as part of his article.
King wasn’t happy. His son, Jeff, who also serves as his campaign manager, called and insisted that his father had been misquoted, and accused Adam of fabrication. I told him that his father was quoted accurately and explained that while we would not be emailing him the recording, we reserved the right to post the audio.
On Friday and Saturday, Congressman King sentseveraltweetscriticizing THE WEEKLY STANDARD, claiming we knowingly posted false information and suggesting we weren’t releasing the audio because it doesn’t exist. “You heard it directly from Jeff King and chose to defend your junk yard dog. You refused to release the tape,” he wrote. He later added: “Just release the full tape. Leftists lies exist without original sources because they are false and manufactured accusations. Weekly Standard is transitioning into ‘Antifa News.’”
King's claims are false.
Here is the audio. The exchange, as transcribed, starts at about the 20-second mark. King is quoted accurately throughout.
So, King claimed our reporter lied. He didn’t. He claimed we didn’t have a recording. We do. He insisted we refused to release the audio. Untrue. It’s worth remembering these things as you evaluate the credibility of the claim from King—a man with a history of bigoted comments and a recent obsession with the “caravan” of immigrants traveling through Mexico to the United States—that he wasn’t talking about immigrants when he joked about “dirt” on its way to the U.S. from Mexico.
One final note. I spoke with Adam immediately after the meeting adjourned—before he wrote his story. In our conversation, Adam told me that when King realized a journalist might have heard the “dirt” exchange he became nervous and abruptly changed the subject. I left to Adam the decision whether to include that detail in his original report. He decided to leave it out and wrote a largely straightforward account. We’ve included that audio here, above. Immediately after King comments that “this is the most dirt that we’ve ever seen,” he says: “This is actually not supposed to start for another six minutes, is it? But, so we’re just kind of chatting here informally here until things get rolling.”
We stand by the story.

Steve king is a ignorant, racist, xenophobic piece of shit homophobe. Not because he is a Republican. But because he is an ignorant, racist, xenophobic piece of shit homophobe.

Seriously I can't decide if you all are confused or if I am. On one hand you keep telling everyone that in 50 years we will all look the same through mixed breeding, on the other hand I keep hearing that diversity is a strength and that we should love the wide variety of colors.
So which is it? If diversity is a strength why would you have a goal of having everyone being the same?
Does diversity, in itself, bring ANYTHING negative? I'm not taking about how others react to it in any fashion, I am asking if forced association has any negatives.

Can't answer your own statements that contradict each other?
One typically doesn’t answer statements. You still can’t link to your source though. And still fear elimination of the white race through “mixed breeding” and “forced association.” Have you cashed out your bitcoin and isolated yourself yet?

A Note on Steve King

Are we diverse or are we going to be all the same? If diversity is a strength then why do I keep reading here how everyone is going to look alike?
Pick one.

Did you read an article saying this on the gateway pundit or something?
