Conservatives get duped by real fake news
October 22, 2017 at 7:38 pm
Seems to me the snowflake conservatives cannot discern fake news when they see it.
Quote:Right-wingers got duped by phony Facebook post in which grieving widow attacked Rep. Wilson
A widely-shared Facebook post purporting to be from Myeshia Johnson — widow of fallen Green Beret Sgt. La David Johnson — is a fake, according to Snopes.com.
Conservative groups and Trump supporters spread the fake post because it led readers to believe that Mrs. Johnson was attacking Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), a longtime friend of the Johnson family who has been demonized by the right since she stood up to Trump last week.

I'm surprised it wasn't posted here.
Time to get out the big G stamp.

Right-wingers got duped by the WLB. They are so fucking stupid that they will pretty much fall for anything.

This isn't surprising. If fake news is anything that puts down the gropenfuhrer, then anything for him or against dems mus be true news, I think, to their minds.

Yeah conservatives even think that this statement was really given by Trump's secretary

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
