How the Right Got Waco Wrong

[acptulsa]

I think it's an experiment. We convinced conservatives to love peace, and the Left decided to start hating it. The mind gamers saw that, and now I guess they want to see if making the Left hate Waco will cause conservatives to love it.

Win McCormack ownership, 2016–present

In February 2016, Win McCormack bought the magazine from Hughes[7] and named Eric Bates, the former executive editor of Rolling Stone, as editor. In September 2017, Bates was demoted from his leadership role to a masthead title of "editor at large." J.J. Gould then served as editor for just over a year[35] until December 2018. In November 2017, Hamilton Fish V, the publisher since McCormack's acquisition of the magazine, resigned amid allegations of workplace misconduct.[36] Kerrie Gillis was named publisher in February 2019 [37] and Chris Lehmann, formerly the editor in chief of The Baffler,[38] was named editor April 9, 2019.[39] Within months his management style faced public criticism[40][41] for his hiring process of an Inequality Editor, posted on June 28. Within weeks, another scandal erupted, with Lehmann facing even harsher criticism from the public and the media for his decision to publish a controversial op-ed by Dale Peck called "My Mayor Pete Problem." The op-ed was retracted, with Lehmann commenting in a separate statement: "The New Republic recognizes that this post crossed a line, and while it was largely intended as satire, it was inappropriate and invasive."[42] In March 2021, it was announced that Lehmann would be departing his role as editor and would be replaced by Michael Tomasky.[43]

He was later executive editor of liberal magazine The American Prospect, and remains a contributing editor.[9] On October 23, 2007, Guardian America was launched with Tomasky as its editor.[10] On March 3, 2009, he replaced Kenneth Baer as editor of U.S. political journal Democracy, at which time his title at The Guardian changed to editor-at-large.[11] In May 2011 Tomasky left The Guardian to join Newsweek / The Daily Beast as a special correspondent.[12] He is the editor of The New Republic.

Who the $#@! ever, EVER held Waco up as an example of “whiteness under siege,” whatever the hell that is? These people are insane.

100%

Hate to say it, but I couldn't get past the subtitle of "...whiteness under siege..." and as soon as I saw that, I checked out and couldn't be bothered with the rest of the article. NO ONE of any prominence of whom I'm aware has ever made an argument that Waco was about an attack on "whiteness".

These motherfu*kers are ghouls... they make me think of the creepy bots in the first Matrix movie that just seek ANY opening they can find to get in and destroy everything. They're DAMNABLE viruses, and it's getting time for them to be destroyed.
