Quote:White House chief strategist Steve Bannon claimed he wants to “crush” the far right — calling them “losers” and “a collection of clowns” — during a shockingly candid interview with a liberal magazine.

“Ethno-nationalism — it’s losers. It’s a fringe element,” Bannon said during a surprise phone call with The American Prospect writer Robert Kuttner.

“I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more,” he added. “These guys are a collection of clowns.”

Quote:“The longer [Democrats] talk about identity politics, I got ’em,” Bannon said. “I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

Bannon told Kuttner that he called him out of the blue on Tuesday because he agreed with a column he published earlier in the day on China benefiting from the nuclear threats between the US and North Korea.

He never once asked for his remarks to be off the record, Kuttner said.

Amazing! Even Bannon decries the radical elements on the right yet nary a peep from dims about the radical elements on their side.

Big deal. Most likely the pompous Bannon is just saying that they aren't as organized or effective as they'd be if he was directing their every movement.

Look if you're going to piss and moan that Trump / Bannon don't condemn the alt-right it would carry a lot more freaking weight if, when they did, you did not just say "so what"...

It shows how devoid of substance your original complaints were.

Looks like your selective reading comprehension kicked in again.

He's trying to pull a fast one.

Oh sure .... he just on a whim decides to call the press up and "give away" their strategy. Nope, not biting. He's hoping like hell to switch the narrative to economic (tax) policy, and away from the rest of the dumpster fire.

I think he is just pointing out what they are. Nothing. They should jsut be ignored. Giving them a big media stage allows then to appear to be much more significant than they really are.

That was some sort of nationwide rally of "white nationalist" and they got maybe 1000 people to show up in a nation of 350 million. There are probably more pedophiles than white nationalist in America. Are we worried that pedophiles will become a significant political movement? Of course not---because just like neo-nazi's---they are roundly despised.

Just ignore the trash.

Or: One lone statement can't separate Bannon (and to a lesser extent trump) from their past.

Sorry...but I still need more.

Not so sure about that. He gave several interviews yesterday in which he was cheering on the left to keep the issue of race in the headlines.

The democrats are not currently in power and the most recent event was a white supremacists rally where a counter protester was killed.

Well yeah ... he's trolling the left as hard as he can, but he's really on his knees, begging for the focus to be switched away from the Trump dumpster fire of refusing to condemn hatred, bigotry, and white supremacy.

Devoid of substance... Nothing done by Trump would be enough and you know it. You're throwing up empty rhetoric about wanting to see condemnations... When they come you say "so what"

Can you source that or is it something you yet again fabricated out of thin air?

Delusional. Either your hatred has rendered you incapable of rational thought or you don't mind being one who continues to advance a false narrative to push a hate-driven agenda. How does it feel to be a water carrier?

You're just wrong Bull. I was totally prepared to say I was wrong and trump was/is doing a good job as president. Unfortunately, there is no rational evaluation anywhere to support any other stance than this administration has basically been a disaster so far.

Protip: You probably should stop the name calling.

And while yes, trump said he condemned them on Monday, his comments on Tuesday clearly rendered those words void of substance. Don't take it from me, take it from the scores of Republicans, and even fox news folks like Krauthammer, who also took issue with that presser on Tuesday.

The last part of your run-on sentence is an outright lie. Anybody who is incapable of educating themselves enough to know that is too intellectually dishonest to partake in any reasonable discussion.

I don't believe for a second that any amount would suffice.

Where did I call anyone a name. I characterized someone as something. I doubt that rises to the standards set forth yesterday as I remained civil. Krauthammer is a tool - can I call someone not participating in this forum a name?
