    That's stupid. Why don't you look around Breitbart a little before you fall into that trap. It may be a partisan news site, but it is clearly not anti-Semitic.

    So, when Bannon took his kid out of a school because he “didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews" and wrote that in an email to his ex-wife, that wasn't anti-Semitic? And no, it's not "he said - she said" when you write it in an email.

    Anyway, for your reading enjoyment, here is a list of some Breitbart headlines that Bannon signed off on:

    That rate increase was the whole point of the act anyway...to guarantee more income for insurance companies.

    Premiums were going up that much before Obamacare was enacted.

    By the way, I notice the GOP congress just passed the $2.5billion bill for high-risk pools, which they would not pass for the past 3 years. This is why premiums went up and now they're going to try to make sure it's all working by the time Trump takes office.

    Jews are greedy, but they look out for follow Jews. Google is run by Jews, so you can be sure they won't blacklist other sites run by Jews.

    Yes, given the proper materials, a determined kid with Google and the willingness to not give a fuck could create a Superfund site.

    In its last official act, the 114th Congress has passed a resolution putting the Radioactive Boy Scout's image on the new billion dollar bill, saying "Being able to create a Superfund site in your backyard is an inspiration to all Americans. The only thing better is creating a Superfund site in someone else's backyard. Or in a town that's mostly black people or Indians, because fuck them."

    And you don't find "H. Obama" amusing? Eight years and the highest approval rating since Kennedy and making fun of Obama's middle name (and race, and birthplace) is the best the right could come up with?

    I'm taking the Climate Change denier position on the surveillance state.

    1. There's no real proof that there is ubiquitous surveillance.

    Trump's the first republican to hold a pride flag on stage. http://m.washingtontimes.com/n... [washingtontimes.com]

    On Sunday, at a rally in Colorado, Mr. Trump proudly held up a rainbow flag with the words “LGBT for Trump” written on it to a cheering crowd of thousands. It was an historic moment for gay equality and the Party of Lincoln as the 2016 GOP nominee for President of the United States held high the flag for gay equality. No other Republican Presidential nominee in history has embraced the LGBT community in such a loud and proud way.

    And he held the flag upside-down. Further, the only reason he held it up is that someone wrote his name on it. He likes to see his name. And his name was written on the flag upside-down proving that it wasn't anyone from the LGBT community who gave it to him, but merely a prop.

    Caitlyn Jenner took Trump up on bathroom offer.

    That sounds like the beginning of an interesting story.
