Over the past few months, WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah’s column has consisted almost entirely of either begging for money from readers to keep WND alive (and ranting about the internet “cartel” purportedly conspiring to put him out of business) or promoting his new book about the Bible. He hasn’t even written about Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination despite originally opposing it because Kavanaugh was a part of Kenneth Starr’s investigation that he deemed insufficiently vengeful against the Clintons.
Farah dipped a toe back into column-length political screeds in his Oct. 25 piece complaining that Democrats are bullying President Trump and playing the “fascism card.” And as usual, he’s spreading lies. Like this claim:
Already we’ve had real, potentially lethal violent attacks from actual Democratic campaign operatives – one designed to wipe out a group of Republicans believing they could still hold baseball games with their “colleagues.” One, Steve Scalise, the majority whip, was nearly lost. Another senator, Rand Paul, is still dealing with a vicious physical attack.
The man who shot Scalise, James Hodgkinson, was not an “actual Democratic campaign operative” — actual Democrats where he lived had never heard of him — nor was Rene Boucher, the man who attacked Paul over a yard-waste dispute, not politics.
Farah concluded his column with this rant:
Americans are being bullied into keeping their mouths shut. Most of us don’t like unpleasantness like this. They avoid cities for lots of reasons – they’re controlled by Dems, which means they are not controlled. We’re all losing our liberty.
Now the Honduran storm troopers are here. What else can we call them?
Meanwhile, we have Dems ready to drop ICE if they are able to take power.This is insanity.
We’re losing our country.
Wait, what? The migrant caravan arching through Central America attempting to reach the United States to seek asylum are “storm troopers”? Where did that come from?
Farah’s intemperate rant looks even worse when you consider that two days later, a man killed 11 people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in no small part because he was angry that Jews were allegedly aiding immigrant refugees in the caravan, whom he called “invaders.”
Maybe Farah should just stick to begging for money and plugging his book.
