Fascist “journalist” Claire Goforth, about whom I wrote previously here, apparently can’t stand the idea of dissenters from the far-Left agenda being allowed to state their positions in the public forum, and receiving funding from supporters. But in this lengthy hit piece on Laura Loomer and those who allegedly fund her campaign for Congress, Goforth goes even farther. Referring to the AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas in May 2015, Goforth writes: “The contest turned deadly when two men opened fire before being quickly killed by police.”
“The contest turned deadly when two men opened fire.” That gives the impression that those who opened fire were people who were attending the contest. Goforth appears to be trying to feed the Leftist myth of violent “right-wingers” by obscuring what really happened at the contest. The contest didn’t “turn deadly”; Islamic jihadis attacked it. They were the ones who opened fire. But this vicious opponent of the freedom of speech knows that she has to cover for Islamic jihadis and give the impression that Islam is peaceful, so she writes about what happened at the contest in a misleading way. No one who doesn’t already know what happened there would take this for a jihad attack. They’d just think that “white supremacists” were at it again. This is contemporary “journalism” at work.
“Laura Loomer may be a fringe candidate, but she’s being funded by big-time GOP donors,” by Claire Goforth, Daily Dot, November 18, 2019:
…Months after the 2015 mass shooting at Charlie Hebdo, Reuters quoted Shillman speaking approvingly of a controversial contest in Texas to draw the Prophet Muhammad. The contest turned deadly when two men opened fire before being quickly killed by police. These were the only casualties. The contest was in part organized by Jihad Watch, a website of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. (Earlier this year, Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer wrote an attack piece about this reporter following the publication of a piece about hate groups on Facebook.)
