The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Plus rough him up a bit, throw bleach on him and put a mini-noose around his neck so he could claim to be a hate crime victim. In some ways this was bigger than Tawana Brawley.

The original story was that two Trump supporters just happened to be in his part of Chicago at 2am during the polar vortex. They saw him and recognized him as being on a show Trump supporters never watch. They proceed to beat him, pour bleach on him, put a small noose around his neck, yell 'this is MAGA country', then run away. So many holes in the story, but many media outlets, activists, Democrat presidential hopefuls fall for the story, because the narrative is just too useful to them.  One would think the outrage mob would have learned from the Cov Cath thing not to jump the gun. Wonder how many more hate hoaxes it will take.

An infinite amount because they are shouting into an echo chamber with people who are not going to fact check anything or remember what happened a few weeks ago.

Anyway I have not heard of this person or this incident nor do I have any idea what Cov Cath refers to.

I didn't know of him either. I guess the hoax was a partial success.

:huh:  Uh, no. Twitter. But thanks for thinking so highly of me.

The moment an inconsequential story for Fox News became the most important story in America.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It was a big deal where you'd expect it to be (the gawker verse), but I dont think it was a big thing in the main stream

What is the gawkerverse?  I've heard of gawker but am not familiar.  Is it a place where people throw memes at each other?

I think the place I read about it was an article on CNN.com.

Websites that are owned by the same company. Jezebel, The root, io9, a bunch of other ones I can't remember. It's a weird combination of demographic specific news  sites, commentating community, and self enduced rage echo chamber.

Ah yeah. No I am pretty sure that crowd stuck with their initial gut reaction on that one.
