  Legal Insurrection: Media In Sync Trots out ‘QAnon,’ ‘Red Scare’ Cards to Attack Parents Rights Movement   Questioning SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s sentencing record towards child sex predators and championing Florida’s new parental rights law is supposed evidence of the GOP ginning up a modern-day version of the “red scare,” wrote Washington Post “reporter” Philip Bump. I have never met anyone who says they are a member of QAnon.  I can't understand why parental concerns would even be described as those of QAnon.  What it looks like is it has become an all-purpose slur used by the left to attack those with whom they disagree.  The Washington Post writer uses the term red scare without irony.  But accusing your political opponents of being QAnon is a closer equivalent to the "red scare" than raising concern about child porno. 

 Tucker Carlson: QAnon is the greatest threat we face. Not inflation , not China , QAnon. Everyone is saying this, but you may be wondering: Just how dangerous is QAnon? Here's the answer: the District of Columbia National Guard announced Friday that all troops who took part in the mission to protect our democracy from internet conspiracy theorists will now receive medals in recognition of their heroic sacrifice. The primary medal is called the Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon. That's for people who were there for President Biden's inauguration. But that medal will be supplemented, in cases in which our heroes have earned it, by the Emergency Service Ribbon. So if you're a D.C. Guardsman who's been on duty in the city since late January, protecting America from Trump voters, you can add another medal to your chest. More may be coming. According to Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Carver, "Other federal decorations are also being considered." That seems l...

 Red States: ... Thus you get absolute idiocy like this. There’s an old joke on the right that everything the left doesn’t like is Hitler. You’ve probably seen the memes over the years. That has quickly being supplanted by the bogeyman that is Qanon. Never will you hear that term uttered more than on CNN and other cable news channels. It has become a stand in for all the evils of the world despite precious little evidence it has much of any real following. You will always be able to nut pick. That doesn’t make Qanon a wide-spread threat to democracy or whatever other nonsense is being pushed these days. That Tapper would accuse Kayleigh McEnany, based on nothing more than an anonymous source (which may only exist in his head), of signaling to Qanon supporters is conspiracy level garbage not fit for any mainstream discussion of politics. McEnany apparently saw Tapper’s tweet and she ended up embarrassing him by revealing exactly what she was talking about. You see, a normal person w...

  John Sexton: Kevin Drum: Very Few Americans Believe Q Anon Conspiracy Theories I think they enjoyed trolling Democrats.  Some of their statements were an amusing description of Democrat personalities.  The Democrats greatly exaggerated their influence.
