Silicon Valley Browncoat (Peter Thiel Speaks At The National Press Club)
National Press Club Live ^ | October 31, 2016 | NPC

Posted on 10/31/2016 9:22:16 AM PDT by OddLane

This is a remarkable speech-and I haven't even listened to 20 minutes of it. I don't know why this man isn't Trump's chief spokesman.

TRUMP already has a good spokeswoman.

Is the “Browncoat” reference from the TV Show “Firefly”? I consider that somewhat obscure. Of course, if it’s not from “Firefly” then I guess I consider it even more obscure.

Peter Thiel is a fantastic conservative and he’s a genius.

I don’t care if he’s a homo, even though I freakin hate homosexuality.

Peter Thiel is NOT Trump’s “main spokesman.” He was the token liberal (compare to Koch, S Jackson, Lieberman at past Republican conventions.)

I listened and was impressed. This is a more or less honest man - a big government liberal but an honest one.

“Trump’s chief spokesman”

LOL. Thiel co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk. Was an early investor in Facebook, etc. I don’t think he would take a job as a press secretary.

Serenity is my favorite sci-fi film, and I love Firefly, even if it was written by a hopeless leftie.

I'm being slightly facetious.

But I honestly think he articulates Trump's vision better than Trump himself.

“He was the token liberal”

Huh?

Thiel was a hardcore Cruz supporter until recently. Funded most of his campaigns, etc.

Exactly. I’ve heard better speeches from non faggot Trump supporters and he was one of the token libtards. Gotta hand it to the puffcake, he knew when to come out of the closet at a good time.

Well put. There is no “Department of Heterosexuality” although to listen to some FReepers, there should be.

“Don’t ask, don’t tell” worked well. Thiel isn’t preaching his lifestyle, he’s trying to help save the country and I applaud him for it.

Those who would reject the assistance of competent and capable people like Thiel should be reminded that if we wanted a pastor-in-chief, Cruz or Huckabee might be the nominee. And Peter Theil would not be giving the kind of endorsement and assistance he is giving today.

Such nastiness is completely uncalled for.

Because he is a business man running a business....plus he is a conservative homosexual. All of those things would be targeted by the left and the right
