Progressives, when are you going to start boycotting The Drudge Report, Bill Cunningham and World Net Daily?
I've listened to Cincinnati right wing carnival barker Bill Cunningham on Sunday night ramble on about gun violence in the Black community. He and many like him are whistling to their white extremist base.
I know we are focused on Alex Jones, Breitbart, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean "Softball" Hannity and that old fart Rush Limbaugh. But when are we going to start pulling out the rest of the weeds. Matt Drudge is the most dangerous right wing figure in the junk food media.
Gun violence is the biggest threat in this country.
The dog whistle is blowing everyday in Amerikkka. From our dear imbecile attacking a Black athlete and journalist to the right wing agitators showing "concern" for the gun violence in Black America.
Me and S. Baldwin have talked about concern trolls. These are the individuals who often appear on blogs like this one to drag up concern about issues that don't affect their lives. It's usually a white person (i.e. male or bot) who runs this bullshit about how we and many others failed "someone."

| Nearly 80 people shot in Chicago. 12 people killed. |
Enter the third largest city in the United States.
Chicago is once again in the tongues of the right wing. This weekend, the city saw 11 people killed by gun violence. Over 80 people were injured by firearms.
Now people are calling for major change in the city.
Rahm Emanuel, the embattled mayor of Chicago once again is facing calls to resign after Chicago city officials voice frustration with the way Chicago Police are handling affairs.
Many residents are scared of not only the gangs but the city's police force.
The city has unregistered firearms on the street and many of these victims are children.

| Embattled mayor Rahm Emanuel might want to find a new line of work. |
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Monday morning he visited Stroger and Mt. Sinai hospitals to thank those that treated the victims of the violence.
"It may not have been in your neighborhood, it may not have been in your community, may not have been on your block. But that neighborhood, that community, that block is in the city of Chicago and it is part of our home," Emanuel said.
Johnson said while CPD can do better, the shooters need to be held accountable.
"I hear people holding us accountable all the time," Johnson said. "I never hear people saying these individuals out here in the streets need to stop pulling the trigger. I never hear that. I never hear that. They get a pass from everybody and they shouldn't."
The shooting has drawn reaction from around the country, including Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and current lawyer for President Donald Trump. Giuliani originally tweeted, "Policing genius Jerry McCarthy can do for Chicago what I did for NYC," in reference to former Chicago Police Superintendent and current mayoral candidate Garry McCarthy.
I can't say the names nor
account the amount of people killed. I am guessing around 400 people were killed by gun violence in Chicagoland. Mind you that many of these people killed were victims of unfortunate circumstances.

| When will progressives start targeting Matt Drudge for the years of promoting fake news and bullshit? |
Gang violence has been around since the 19th Century. It's been around in the 20th Century. It continues in the 21st Century. But since our former president Barack Obama came from Chicago, many on the right have often fingered him for the violence in the community.
Obama's name is always brought up in conversation whenever the junk food media reports on mass shootings.
This past Saturday, there was a march on the NRA. Calls to ban the AR-15, repeal Stand Your Ground and passing stronger background checks.
Chicago priest Michael Pfleger protested on the Dan Ryan Freeway only a month ago. The busy freeway carries Interstate 90 and 94. It caused a 120 minute wait on freeway travel. Conservatives bemoaned that police resources were wasted protecting protesters.
Many entertainers like Common, John Legend, Rhymefest and Spike Lee came to the city to urge city leaders change the direction of leadership.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Michelle Obama and Black Lives Matter are involved.
Barack Obama has been talking about it before and after his presidency.
Yet these right wing agitators keep saying no black leaders talk about it.

The only one who isn't talking about is the NRA's propaganda machine and Donald J. Trump. If they spoke on it, they would use it as a recruiting tool for white extremists.
No one is pointing the finger at Republican governor Bruce Rauner. He is a supporter of lax gun laws. He signed off a bill that makes it illegal for people living Illinois purchasing bulk weapons from lax states like Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin and Kentucky.
I see that conservatives are going all out to divide this country. They don't give a flying fuck about Chicago or anyone killed by gun violence.
They complain about gun control advocates like David Hogg having armed security guards. After months of vilification, Hogg has gotten death threats.
Hogg has been swatted by 8chan trolls.
The NRA continues to troll with their exposes on gun control and activists targeting their promoters.
Trump is the person capable of solving this crisis. If he thinks his "law and order" is solution to stopping gun violence, he is totally wrong.
