Most Americans, it seems safe to say, look upon the murderous hate crime that left 50 dead in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando with a mixture of horror and sadness.
But for many of the proud bigots in America’s burgeoning alt-right movement, the attack has been a great opportunity.
An opportunity to spread their racist and Islamophobic views. An opportunity to boost their chosen presidential hopeful, Donald Trump.
And for some, an opportunity to make crude homophobic jokes about the victims of the shooting.
Alt-rightists often complain about being “silenced” by the evil forces of political correctness. But on Twitter today the alt-right has been anything but silent.
I spent a few hours today sorting through the Tweets of assorted alt-rightists and fellow travellers. Here’s what they are saying.
The odious racist troll Matt Forney, whom I wrote about only yesterday, set aside his homophobic trolling of Gawker staffers in order to attack Muslims and, for some reason, African-Americans:
He also managed to work in a rape joke to boot:

Noted internet narcissist Mike Cernovich babbled ponderously about the need to “get hard,” buy guns, and “take our country back.”

Amazingly, he has somehow managed to convince himself that Trump fans are the real victims here.
https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/742065701578498048
Even more bizarrely, he accused the media … of trying to make the “story go away fast.”
https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/742054734744457216
Yeah, except for the live coverage on the cable news channels and the literally thousands of news stories on the massacre.
White nationalist Youtuber RAMZPAUL didn’t even bother to rein in his homophobia while using what he derisively called the Orlando “homocaust” as an excuse to attack Muslims and pimp for nationalism.
I predicted Muslims would slaughter your precious degenerates. And you called me a bigot. Yet, I was right again. https://t.co/0Cw0dDISxl

Poor SJWs. Who will they support? Homos or Muslims? Or will they blame this slaughter on "White Privilege?"

The next step is to determine the people and groups responsible for advocating mass non-White immigration into Europe and America.

Despite being born here.
AdolfJoeBiden, an influential alt-right Twitterer with more than 34,000 followers, seemed to think that the massacre might turn out to be a … good thing.
https://twitter.com/Bidenshairplugs/status/741989013259583488
But nonetheless found a way to blame the whole thing on … the Jews.

This Trump fan seems to think the only solution is to torture people who had nothing to do with it:

https://twitter.com/lyz_estrada/status/742054101559607296
Lyz would even torture Omar Mateen’s ex-wife — who left him after a brief marriage because, she says, he was abusive to her.
https://twitter.com/lyz_estrada/status/742064945043374081
By this logic, the FBI should storm Orlando’s hospitals to torture all of Mateen’s victims being treated in them.
More than a few of these repugnant sh*tposters ook the opportunity to attack gay people.

Others posted incoherent nonsense about the Jews:
I love tweeting about politics and world events! Go #Trump! Ps: Gas the kikes! Make the holohoax real! And don't #PrayForOrlando faggots!

Some mixed-and-matched assorted bigotries with wild abandon:
And then there is this lovely individual:
Just a reminder: These are all people who think of themselves as representing the finest flower of the noble civilization that needs to be protected from the darker-skinned people of the world.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck these guys. Their lack of empathy and decency is so aajkldjgkjdsfjssadjhfjg! Fucking asshats.
Yeah, about what I expected from the usual gang of assholes. I think I’ve had enough internet for today 🙁
Please let me leave this country and be with my partner in Canada
I don’t want to be here any more than Real True Godly White Americans want me to be here
Just……. Wow. That’s all i’ve got.
ditto.
Reposting David’s closing paragraph in case anyone gave up and scrolled down to comments.
Also because it doesn’t hurt to say it again.
*blinks* I see. The mob is at it again.
Apparently LyzEstrada wants us to be like North Korea.
Notice that styr_thry (or however the fuck that’s spelled) used an MRA two dot ellipse.
Yeah, that’s all I’ve got.
I see “deport them all” isn’t enough for some of these fine specimens, and they hunger for torture and nuclear war. Do they want the US to become the ultimate pariah nation?
Oh, and it’s nice to see that Roosh’s reaction was “fuck those victims, how can I make this about me?”
The usual crowd is still celebrating.

Link function isn’t working, so here we go.
Oh my god. These people are scum. I’m not the type to wish death on people, but they make it really fucking hard not to.
Oh, it’s that horrid green frog creature again. Maybe I was right about the lizard people after all. Is that supposed to be Hitler, or Donald Trump? It’s getting harder to tell them apart these days.
Matt Forney’s rape ‘joke’ has absolutely nothing to do with this atrocity. It reminds me of that ‘women deserve equal rights – and lefts’ meme.
Interesting to see Ann Coulter quoted there, if that’s an actual quote. I thought these trolls were the same ones trying to edit photos to say she has an Adam’s apple and is transgender?
And Asgardian, seems to think that Angry Birds is an actual documentary. Sad.
Well, this was the first post here *I* haven’t been able to read. Ugh.
David, go play with your kitties. You deserve some time away from these horrors.
I got to Forney’s “joke” and had to nope out of there. I don’t know how you do it, David.
Whelp, I hope David enjoys his second vacation. I think we all need it after this.
These are the same people that try to distance themselves from liberal movements within Islam, calling them “unorthodox”.
To the alt-right wankstains reading this, instead of whipping up Islamophobia, why don’t you help the countless Muslim feminists attempting to challenge the ideas that led to this massacre?
Well, I learned a couple of new anti-Arabic slurs. The Alt-right never ceases to care about the education of the populace.
It’s also interesting that they blame Jews for the immigration of Muslims. Considering fanatical Islammic groups seem to think pretty much the same about Jews as the Alt-right, I would have thought American Jews would be against Muslim immigration. But then, hating Jews doesn’t seem to make up for being brown in Alt-right eyes, so maybe they think the Jews think that not being white makes up for hating Jews? I’m so confused.
(Note; I know that Islam is a religion, not a race, and that practitioners can be any race including white. The Alt-right, it appears, does not)
Ugh, I think we all need a break from all this.
Totally changing the subject, I was reading through againstmensrights Reddit and came upon this, this is one of the w***stains pieces that ticks me off tremdously. It’s one of JBs articles she wrote and its 10 days old but she’s talking about a female teacher who raped a 13 year old boy and very surprisingly she’s defending her and unsurprisingly there’s racism in it too.

Sorry for my language, changing the subject and ranting but f*** JB just f*** her.
Ok here’s brain bleach

Okay so that was entirely too much bigotry for one sitting.
I couldn’t help but notice this other story, and I thought I’d share it. I don’t mean to derail the conversation, but it looks like we’re all lucky there weren’t two Orlando shootings…
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/06/indiana-gun-nut-who-planned-to-attack-los-angeles-lgbt-pride-had-a-history-of-criminal-violence/
That was a long ass read. And profoundly sad
Yes.
I couldn’t even read half of the tweets up there. I was already angry because I saw this sentence from the BBC.
It wasn’t Islamic terrorism. Yes, shooter may have had ties to the IS, but this was a hate crime against the LGBT+ community. Why is that so difficult to understand? He’s trying to pander to his supporters and is using the deaths of 50 people to try to win votes. Disgusting.
From the link that Mathieu Tremblay posted above about the apparent planned attack on LA Pride:
And
Of course the alt-right will be completely silent about the fact that one of their own was, by his own account, planning to do the same thing that they’re blaming all Muslims for.
I share the common sentiment: Jee-zus CHRIST, David, how can you slog through all that unutterable crap? I don’t think there are enough hot showers in the world to wash me clean after reading JUST THE HILIGHTS you posted. Ugh.
It is profoundly sad that there are this many people in the world who either really believe all that stuff, or find it amusing to pretend that they do. Once they were babies, each of them, and I have to wonder what happened? Nobody is born this warped: they have to be, as the “South Pacific” song tells us, “carefully taught” to hate like this. Their thoughts are loathsome, but they themselves are just terribly sad. How pitiful their lives must be.
