1. There are a lot of RW extremists in CA too

Just sickening that this is what the GOP has now become.

[kelly1mm]

3. Berkley even! nt

[Beetwasher.]

2. THIS SHOULD BE THE TOP STORY FROM NOW TO ELECTION DAY

The threat of Right Wing, Trump-Inspired Terrorists.

[orangecrush]

18. THIS

[Torchlight]

4. My surprise is underwhelming.

Right wing leadership and media have worked a close partnership to foment public displays of violence and aggressive behavior by its base. And it's worked flawlessly on the intersection of the gullible and the under-educated, their core base and target demographic.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. At the end "He seemed out of touch with reality"

Gotta love CNN trying to get ahead of the story, paint the pic that the guy was just a random crazy person.

Guess what fuckers?

ALL MAGATS ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY.

It's their defining fucking quality.

Wake the fuck up and stop pretending they're anything but.

And it is BY DESIGN.

[mobeau69]

6. Spot on.

[Torchlight]

7. I'm guessing the right-wing will now project the 'mentally ill' label.

Seems their go-to defense every time their target demographic acts on the words of GOP leadership.

[The Grand Illuminist]

8. And will get away with it.

[louis-t]

15. They'll say "We need to look at our mental health programs"

and then, of course, do nothing or vote against anything that tries to improve the situation. .

[central scrutinizer]

12. White terrorists are always "mentally ill lone wolves"

But when the perp is a POC, their entire community is indicted.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. Oh yeah. And the M$M are only too happy to play along with that thesis (nt)

[Docreed2003]

Absofuckinglutely bro! Spot on

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Funny how these random crazy persons always regurgitate FOX and GOP.

[central scrutinizer]

9. Stochastic terrorism

Stir up enough anger and someone will crack

[underpants]

10. Twitter saying he's a nudity activist

So according to the ravenously right wing members of Twitter - must be a Liberal

[GoCubsGo]

11. Hal Sparks is looking at this guy's web site on his afternoon show, as I type this.

He's actually a so-far-left-he's-right guy. He's a Trump fan, a Jimmy Dore fan, a Tulsky Gabbard fan, a Jordan Petersen fan... He's real piece of work. Conspiracies galore! You can see it on Hal's YouTube.

[Tommy Carcetti]

16. He's at the horseshoe. nt

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. Well thats not very good news, because most Dore/Tulsi fans are also Sander's fans

I've been to one of his shows (got a free ticket, but walked out midway, even though the free ticket came from the owner of my company's son ... I just said ... NOPE, I'm out).

Dore is particularly subversive, in that he talks like an extreme liberal in many ways, but in the end he's promoting right wing viewpoints.

He's a phony scumbag, but if this asshole attacker is a fan, it gives the right 'cause' to portray the asshole as 'far-left'.

Which is exactly why Jimmy fucking Dore ... exists.

[Emile]

20. and Bernie Sanders is out there right now campaigning for democrats, but you had to go there!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

22. Not trying to make a big deal about it, I generally like Bernie to be clear

Just considering the 'spin' that could be deployed by the other side on this Pelosi incident.

I'm happy to see Bernie doing so. But there's a little bit of a strange far left/far right camp that's around him is the reality.

I don't think that's down to him personally however

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. So, since Dore is unknown outside the the USA, I looked him up, and he hates Sanders

Through his show, Jimmy has consistently lead and been right on issues like RussiaGate, the chemical attack in Syria, the DNC rigging a second election against Bernie, the CARES Act bailout for Wall Street, Covid vaccine mandates and lockdowns, Bernie’s spinelessness, the Squad’s careerism, and the need for a major new populist party free of corporate money.

https://peoplesparty.org/jimmy-dore-for-president/

Jesus, people, stop having such a political cringe! He's not an "extreme liberal", he's a comedian who's never run for office, who says controversial things to keep his gig going. Those positions above are not "far left". The hammer-wielding asshole thinks the Dore asshole is funny. Stop trying to ignore the multiple right wing connections and blow up the rest way beyond what is justified.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

28. Did you miss the part where I said I went to his show?

It was during 2020 primary season. His whole schtick was that the Dem establishment (think Nancy, Hillary, to some extent Obama) is not nearly liberal ENOUGH. No better than Republicans.

He championed Bernie and Tulsi and the packed crowd there made it clear they approved. A lot of the show was like a campaign ad for a Bernie/Tulsi ticket. In the middle of primary season when Bernie was still in it.

He does NOT hate Sanders (or at minimum he doesn't act like he does). He may criticize him at times, but Dore holds him up as one of the best dudes out there, generally.

He seemed to promote Tulsi mostly on the basis of the fact that she was causing headaches for the Dem 'establishment', 'telling it like it is', that kind of thing. Mainly I think he liked her because she downplayed Russian interference, like he had done.

35. I think you're working off the wrong definition of 'liberal'

If you take "liberal" to mean "left wing", then what you say could make some sense. But the presence of "Tulsi" complicates it at all points. In 2020, she was not "left wing"; she was "I'm still a Democrat, I just don't like mainstream Democratic policies, and am all over the place on why they're wrong". Now, she's just "the Democratic party is evil, and the Republican party is fine" (so she's given up any claim to being left wing, such as wanting universal healthcare). If Dore now says Sanders is "spineless", then it seems he wants anti-Democratic politicians. He's pissed off that he misunderstood Sanders. He said so last year (also for Gabbard, though whether he still saw her as "Democratic" at that point, who knows) :

However, if you look at far-left discourse, "liberal" has always been a dismissive label for the mainstream Democrats. This also fits better with the international usage of "liberal" - it does not mean "socialist".

So I would characterize Dore as a comedian who wants to be radical, and looks for any 'maverick' to project his ideas (which, we all agree, are crap) on. But, since he's just a comedian, the relevance of his appearance in the attacker's internet presence is miniscule, compared to the politicians like Trump. And unless you think Dore's politics have had significant attraction in the past decade, then there's no problem with his reputation being worsened by association.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

37. I don't disagree generally but ... relevance is in the eye of the beholder

This attacker being a Dore fan, and Dore being known as basically far-left ... gives the righties an opening, as do the (apparent) facts that he advocated against a law banning public nudity, his having made 'hemp jewelry', and he's living in Berkeley at the time ... to claim this guy doesn't represent the MAGA view, that he's instead far-left.

They don't care it's not really true, neither do Faux, OAN, Newsmax, etc.

27. Tulsi Gabbard is a right winger

[Hugh_Lebowski]

29. She was a Dem at the time I saw his 2020 show, running in the Democratic Primary at the time

See Post #28

[JI7]

33. Doesn't change the fact she was right wing

[Hugh_Lebowski]

34. It's certainly quite obvious NOW but at the time? Not nearly as much ...

Fact of the matter is that his 'act' is all about saying the establishment Dems aren't liberal enough, they aren't addressing climate change, wealth disparity, corporate power, not really much better than the Repubs, etc, etc.

And he pretty much holds up Bernie as the only one out there who's doing anything approaching what he wants to see happen.

You can believe me or not but I went to the guys show (knowing next to nothing ahead of time), hence I now know what his schtick is. He PLAYS like he's far-left.

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. All through the 2020 primary, DU agreed she is right wing

I think she had zero supporters here. People were itching for her to stop calling herself a Democrat so that they could criticise here without worrying about falling foul of the DU rules.

[Emile]

19. I think horse deworming pills screwed up their brains!

[malaise]

21. How is he still alleged?

The cops caught him red handed

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Cops assume guilt; courts assume innocent until proven guilty.

[malaise]

25. LOL

Throw away the keys
He hit Paul Pelosi in the presence of the cops.

[Emile]

30. The longer Trump goes without being arrested, the bullshit theories will only grow worse!
