After Dallas, conservatives rebel against the Drudge Report

"BLACK LIVES KILL."

Those were the three words that blared across the Drudge Report early Friday morning after five Dallas police officers were killed in a horrific ambush attack.

And immediately upon seeing the race-baiting headline, conservatives rebelled against a once-reliable ally who has become more and more divisive to them over the course of the 2016 campaign.

“In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing,” Commentary Magazine Editor Noah Rothman wrote on Twitter.

“Responsible reporting as always,” sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar, from the popular Ace of Spades blog.

Others piled on.

Allahpundit, an influential anonymous conservative blogger, skewered the site for a subsequent banner headline claiming a “black power group” had claimed responsibility for the attack....

**********************

1. Allahpundit is not a conservative.

2. The shooter was a member of the New Black Panthers.
(they have not claimed responsibility, but bear some anyway)

I am so beyond tired of these people who ride in the conservative wagon but drop their feet out of it in an attempt to slow it down whenever progress in conservative policy appears on the horizon.

Truth is a conservative policy, as uncomfortable as that truth may be. It is the domain of the liberal to obscure truth with cute names (”undocumented worker”) and flat-out lies (”the shooter didn’t kill them, the gun did”).

No one is rebelling, other than patriots who care about this great country who are pulling the flush handle on Beck, National Review, neverTrump, Mitt Romney, and all the rest of these cuckservative weaklings who hide behind politically-correct mommy-skirts. Go Trump! Go Drudge!

Yahoo can go #### itself. Remember when yahoo mattered?

What was that, the 90s?

Conservative leaders LOVE to be on their knees. Wouldn’t recognize one if they weren’t.

Black lives and hillary and obama and lynch and kerry and holder kill all the time.

It is what it is. Why lie?

? We’re rebelling against Drudge? Really? Man, thanks, Yahoo, for telling me how we think.

These are the same fake journalist types who purport to tell us what Christians are thinking.

BLM is organized by bad actors. They happen to have duped some well-meaning people into the group. When the leaders chant about killing police in many cities and shut down highways, the leaders ARE the problem.

Matthew Boyle, Washington editor for Breitbart News, a website often linked to by Drudge, told Business Insider that the criticism stemmed from a "handful of losers."

"Clearly, a handful of losers like David French have a problem with truth and accuracy," he said. "The reason they don't like Drudge is because Drudge gets it right."

The only correct part of the article.

There comes a time to face certain politically-incorrect truths, regardless of whether it results in being dis-invited from certain cocktail parties.

One thing we are seeing in 2016, is who is a real right-winger, and who was just putting on an act. Good riddance to the neo-cons.

Yeah, I’ll have to look into how BLM got started. I do know that lefties typically join things started by others and then deftly seize the reins.

On Drudge right now, the first link on the upper left corner is “Black Lives Batter”, linking to a Breitbart article on the violent Black Lives protests.

Probably not the best choice of headline wording, but the fact remains that BLM has been co-opted by some bad actors who would like to see chaos and division resulting in a socialist dictatorship.

That's like saying Islam has been cooped by some bad actors.

Islam IS bad actors. So is #BlacKKKLivesMatter.

No conservative I know had a problem with Drudge.

The media is trying to delegitimize Drudge.

It won't work.
