You had to know that, suddenly, all the media would lose their minds over the “Let’s Go Brandon” call
Anti-Biden rallying cry ‘Lets Go Brandon’ causes mainstream media meltdown
Corporate media and liberal reporters have come together, united in a common cause as everyone from allegedly neutral reporters to far-left pundits have gone nuclear in an attempt to shut down three words: Let’s Go Brandon.
The phrase became an internet sensation last month after an NBC reporter at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race incorrectly reported that fans in the stands were chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” following a victory by driver Brandon Brown, when they were really shouting, “F–k Joe Biden!”
Memes, jokes, and comments immediately began to spread across the internet posted by users mocking NBC’s coverage during the interview. The “F–k Joe Biden!” chants, which began at some large sporting events across the country as the president’s poll numbers sagged, have now been replaced in some venues with “Let’s Go Brandon” chants.
But the chant’s popularity has infuriated the left, resulting in an onslaught of angry tweets, columns and hot takes from liberal pundits. NPR labeled the term “vulgar” and CNN’s Edward-Issac Dovere was so offended by the phrase that he called it “an inside joke telling the president of the United States to perform a sexual act on himself.”
Washington Post reporters Ashley Parker and Carissa Wolf wrote on what they considered “vitriol” from Biden critics in a piece titled “Biden’s critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts.”
The article claimed, “The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread” than anything seen in previous administrations.
That piece mentions several other outlets who are losing their minds, but, the Washington Post is an interesting one, since they published cartoons by Ted Rall, such as this one saying Hitler was better than Bush. He had plenty of others. How about the UK Guardian’s Charlie Brooker calling for someone to assassinate Bush43 if he won re-election? There was plenty of assassination chic, as Michelle Malkin termed it, during Bush’s terms, which reappeared during the Trump years.
There was plenty of nasty invective thrown towards Bush and Trump, including the F word. Here’s hundreds of artists coming together to say Fuck Trump. Here they are chanting Fuck Trump at the World Cup. And here’s Eminem leading a Fuck Trump chant at a concert. I could give you tons of examples of Bush and Trump derangement syndrome, but, you get the point. Where were the pearl clutchers then? Generally just reporting it as “news”
Here’s disgraced journalist Dan Rather, who gave up all his journalistic cred to publish a fake hit piece against Bush43 because of BDS
I have tried for some time to avoid commenting on a topic that I felt should be so far beneath our political discourse that to give it the oxygen of attention would be to play into the strategic hopes of those who are seeking to debase our democracy. But as Yoda, the wise sage of Star Wars, might say if he was trying to fight those who have turned to the “dark side†of our national polity, ignore it no longer I can.
The issue at hand can succinctly be summed up in three words: “Let’s go Brandon.†If you have no idea what I am talking about, consider yourself fortunate. For reasons too mundane to fully outline here, “Let’s go Brandon†has become a favorite chant and rallying cry for many Republicans as a stand-in for another three-word chant that you may also have heard : “F- Joe Biden,†with F-, for the purposes of decorum in this newsletter, standing for a four-letter vulgarity. Search for “Let’s Go Brandon,†and you will start finding it everywhere – all over social media, a song with a ton of downloads on iTunes, at political rallies, and among snickering Republicans in Washington.
Apparently, Dan forgets all the Crazy Moonbattery against Bush. And the people in his administration, particularly the blacks, even more against Condi Rice. There’s a cartoon somewhere in the archives (and probably still saved deep in the photo files, maybe at my Photobucket), that was published in a mainstream outlet of Rice give oral to Bush. It’s really, really bad. We remember the invective thrown Bush’s way. We remember the Democrats wanting to lose in Iraq because Bush was president. We just witnessed four years of disgusting stuff towards Trump, Melania, and their son. The same media had zero problems with this. So, they can go pound sand.
