Right Wisconsin's Dog Whistle

By Jeff Simpson 

Right Wisconsin, the website powered by the "turned over a new leaf" Charlie Sykes, and also a landing spot for various other unemployable deplorables from the right, has forgotten to turn over a new leaf so they are still the white supremacist powered racist website they have always been,  

I have pointed out that Sykes, (Mr. I am not sure if I contributed to the divisive nature of politics these days or not), still has a section of his website where he points out the liberal "loser of the day".  
To have a liberal loser of the day section, it also means he has a "winner of the day" section usually reserved for people like Scott Walker and Paul Ryan.

However yesterday, they reserved the "winner of the day" for Colin Kaepernick for being listed on Time Magazines top 100 most influential people.

Congratulations to Colin Kaepernick, the one-time quarterback in the National Football League who made himself look foolish with his refusal to stand for the national anthem, inspiring so many other non-thinking copycats at all levels of the sport. Kaepernick was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. We haven't seen a clown this influential since Caruso played Pagliacci.
Kaepernick is so influential, he's influenced himself right into the unemployment line. Teams are afraid to even look at him because he's not worth the controversy, even though Kaepernick promises he's done protesting whatever it was that he was protesting.
We remember a bygone era when Time was even more influential than Kaepernick. This was not the way to regain that influence.

With the outright racism seeping through this post, you can really tell Wiggy has joined the website.   Let's take a look at some of the more blatant signs:

*   who made himself look foolish with his refusal to stand for the national anthem

Actually his protest was silent until a reporter noticed it and asked him about it.  That is when his protest caused unlimited faux outrage from our friends on the right.   The reason Colin was silently protesting:



"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

I guess if the folks at White Wisconsin think that black people in America are not oppressed, who are we to argue with them?  

*    inspiring so many other non-thinking copycats at all levels of the sport,

Colin Kaepernick did inspire such silent protests all over the country because there is massive racism and oppression all over the country.  With Wisconsin being the absolute worst state for African Americans, it is not the least bit surprising that the go to right wing blog in Wisconsin would not only not see it, but would ridicule those who live it!  


The blog that spent months attacking DA Chisholm for investigating illegal campaigning by the Governor, is calling others "non-thinking".  


*  Kaepernick is so influential, he's influenced himself right into the unemployment line. Teams are afraid to even look at him because he's not worth the controversy,


The reason Kaepernick has not signed yet is because he still considers himself a starting QB and the league considers him a backup.   No one has offered the money he thinks he is worth yet.   
When a political website rarely gets politics correct, I do not expect them to get sports correct.   Colin Kaepernick has done more to help his fellow Americans than anything anyone who is associated with Right Wisconsin has done combined!  


Just understand that when you go to Right Wisconsin you are not going to get a story steeped in facts or research but you will get a story that crosses the line of racism, misogyny, sexism and bigotry(you can really see James Wigdersons influence).  

But then, to be fair, that is what their audience wants!
