Infowars Goes After Kyle, Big Mistake
Recently, Infowars (the president's favorite news network) reminded everyone that they are the saddest news network in the United States. But we aren't talking about Alex Jones. Instead, this column is based off a member of the Infowars B-Team. Meet Harrison Smith.
This all started when InfoWars released a video called Tick Epidemic Sweeps America. While talking about ticks, the want to be Alex Jones shows pictures of politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez who he is pretty sure are socialists. By the end, he starts talking about "eradicating these blood sucking" ticks.
Now, somehow, people misunderstood this and thought he wanted genocide. Enter Kyle Kulinski, the host of Secular Talk who did a segment pointing out that Harris came out looking a little, Nazi-like. I don't know why.
Harrison saw this video and responded. Insert his video Science Proves Four-Year-Olds Are Smarter Than Socialists.
The first thing I noticed about Harrison is just how much of a victim he is. Harrison opens the video by calling himself "the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear". He seems confused people were angry at his "hilarious and insightful video" where he borderline gave a death threat to democratically elected politicians. But I guess this is what Infowars considers "jaw-droppingly insightful".
Harrison Smith (who is the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear) really has three main points, only one of which has to do with Kyle. His attack on Mr. Kulinski (the first of his idiotic trinity if you will) is one of the saddest attacks I've ever seen. After giving "a little language warning" (because Infowars is rated TV-Y7 now) they start the attack.
You see, it makes sense Kyle doesn't understand Harrison's (who is the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear) "hilarious and insightful video" because he "thinks socialism works". Kyle doesn't actually think socialism works for the record. He's a social democrat, not a socialist. But I guess it's easy to defeat an opponent made of straw.
Although, he does attempt to make it clear what he meant. You see Harrison (who is the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear) wants to "get rid of socialists by convincing them they are dumb". Just like you do with ticks. You go up to them and convince them that sucking blood is not a good idea. Instead of killing them. I don't see how anyone could get this confused with calls for killing.
His second point comes from a study (that he felt the need to print out). You see, Yale University did a survey and found that people don't like what he would see as freeloading. However, and he doesn't hide this fact by the way, the study was done on 4-year-old kids.
Of course, I was convened by this line of reasoning, I don't know about you. So I told many of my socialist "friends" about this experiment and how it the 4-year-old children proved him right. Unsurprisingly, most of them laughed at me, despite the fact I was just being part of the free market of ideas. Upon pushing it further I was banned from r/sandersforpresident. So much for tolerant liberal.
Harrison's (who is the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear) has one last point. You see, Kyle didn't care for the fact that Infowars, like all conservatives, seem to be obsessed with a certain South American country.
Kyle takes issue with the knee-jerk reaction of "well what about Venezuela". So Harrison (who is the victim of a vicious leftist, socialist smear) in his complete wisdom, spends the rest of the video talking about Venezuela.
So in conclusion, Infowars is still a joke.

Top 5 Republican FAILS Throughout History!
I'm sure many of you have seen the recent video in which Steven Crowder lists times liberals have been wrong throughout history. So that gave me an idea, why not go through his video and not only debunk the list he came up with, but also make my own list to compete with his.
So here we are with the Top 5 Republican FAILS Throughout History (with 5 Crowder fails)!
Crowder "Myth" #1-Peak Oil
I mean where would people get an idea that a non-renewable resource is something that we can run out of. The fact is that at some point oil production rates are going to have to decline because there is only so much oil in existence. Unless you are really going to argue that we have unlimited oil, in which case I would like to laugh at you.
Also, I think it should be pointed out that peakoil.com, you know the website about peak oil, says we will reach it around 2020. Just figured that needed to be mentioned. This is the first graph on the article from a website called Peakoil.com.
Myth #1-Paris Climate Agreement
You remember this, claims that by the way, Crowder himself has made. A deal that is non-binding anyway so even if it would hurt the economy, you don't have to pull out of the deal in order to not have those disadvantages.
But that's even giving them more credit then they deserve. The truth is the Paris Climate Agreement would help the economy But that's all bad because of globalism and Agenda 21.
But even if all of that weren't true, even if it didn't help the economy and was binding it would still be worth it to help stop the effects of Climate Change.
Crowder "Myth" #2-AIDS
Yeah, of course, he mentioned this one. Even though his views on AIDS have been debunked he's still spewing the same thing.
The only thing I feel like I need to point out is Crowder is still making the argument that getting AIDS is your fault and we should fund diseases that people can't control if they get like cancer and diabetes. But, by his own logic wouldn't it be there fault? I mean according to him the only way to get AIDS is to have gay sex with random people or shove dirty needles in you. But can you really get throat cancer without chain smoking 20 packs of cigarettes in a day? Of course, you can but he doesn't know that.
Myth #2-GRID
Yeah, remember this one. You know Gay-related immune deficiency or what we used to call AIDS, you know Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. You see, we used to think that the only way you could get it is if you were gay, turns out that's not true.
To be fair, it is believed that most straight people only started getting it because of bisexuals (their boyfriends had boyfriends) but if only gays could, how would that matter?
Crowder "Myth" #3-Reagan's Star Wars Program
Crowder just sort of complains that people didn't like the fact that Reagan used this program to get welfare (during record high military spending and a record high deficit). Also, he goes into this weird rant about how the British people turned there back on Winston Churchill after the war. Ignoring that time he compared Labour to Nazi's just before the election and that he wanted to invade Russia.
Myth #3-Reagan's tax cuts
As I mentioned in the last article, saying Reagan cut taxes is a very misleading statement. Once payroll taxes are taken into account the bottom 20% had their taxes increased by 15%. The 2nd poorest 20% (21%-40%) also had their taxes increased by 0.6%.
Now, none of that would be a problem if the economy did well under Reagan, the problem is it didn't. The economy reached its worse point since the Great Depression under President Reagan, doesn't sound like a good one to me.
Crowder "Myth" #4-Model Cities Program (More Or Less Just An Attack On The War On Poverty)
Let's get one thing out of the way, the war on poverty HAS worked greatly. Despite two economic collapses, poverty has both stayed the same and remained LOWER than it was before the war on poverty started.
As for his claims about Chicago ignores that it was free trade deals that caused Chicago's economy to be ruined. I'm not even making a statement about free trade as a whole (in fact I'm usually for it) I'm just stating facts.
Myth #4-New Deal
Let's just keep this to Social Security for the sake of ease. Republicans have been talking about how it doesn't work and how it's unsustainable when none of that is true.
Bill Clinton got social security up until the 2070's, yet it will go bankrupt in the 2030's. That's because they spent the money so it will go bankrupt, so they could try to privatize it.
Crowder "Myth" #5-Venezuela
Okay, he has us there.
Myth #5-Iraq
Let's go down the list
-Sadam did not have any involvement in 9/11
-Iraq did not have WMD's
-The people in Iraq hated us after we invaded them
And that's just off the top of my head
I could spend a whole post going into all the myths Republicans spread during the Iraq war, but this post is already getting long and I don't have the time.
So here we are with the Top 5 Republican FAILS Throughout History (with 5 Crowder fails)!
