    The woman who said we should start eating babies is now a confirmed conservative troll. She admits it. Another conservative lie debunked.

    I'm not an AOC fan. There are plenty of ways to criticize her without making up lies. But it seems lies are all that conservatives know.

    Eating babies is the natural evolution of the New Green Deal.

    Lies? Jeez. Humorless libs won't recognize a prank if it bites them in the arse.

    And this prank was actually great, funny and to the point, exposing the extremism and insanity of AOS and the brain dead zombies supporting this green new idiocy to the entire world. Well done!

    As usual you are out of your depth.

    I recognized it as a prank immediately (as memorialized by this post here) while your conservative buddies thought it was real, as indicated by conservative posts in the two threads that were created on this topic.

    Yet you referred to this prank as a lie two or three times in your OP. Don't twist yourself into a pretzel trying to explain why you call a lie what you claimed to have known to be a prank.

    You called it a prank when it was politically convenient and you called the prank a lie when that became more politically convenient. That's the usual leftist lack of intellectual honesty on full display here.

    Wow you are grasping for straws. There's no material difference between calling it a prank and a lie. The pranksters intended to deceive and they succeeded.

    The pranksters intent is to make fun, expose and ridicule, not lie, your calling it a prank when it was convenient and calling the prank a lie when it became more convenient did intend to deceive... and you failed

    Despite your pathetic mental gymnastics, you can't change the fact that this prank could not have worked without deception.

    Nor can illusionists, it doesn't not make them liars either. Calling pranksters liars is typical leftist intellectual dishonesty and smear tactic... nothing unusual though, par for the course.

    The difference is that you go to an illusionist to see illusions. You are informed in advance that the things you are seeing are not real. The intent of these pranksters was to make people believe that people who support the green deal believe we should eat babies.

    That's exactly what stood out to me. And considering what they actually believe, I guess that shouldn't be surprising.

    Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche Jr. (September 8, 1922 – February 12, 2019) was an American political activist, convicted fraudster and founder of the LaRouche movement, whose main organization was the National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC). He wrote on economic, scientific, and political topics, as well as on history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. LaRouche was a presidential candidate in every election from 1976 through 2004, running once for his own U.S. Labor Party and seven timesfor the Democratic Party nomination.

    What did you want them to do? Most of them acted like she was crazy and they didn't want her to get violent. Don't you know that crazy people get the most upset when they think you're not taking them seriously? I think the best was AOC herself She may be a Freshman Congress Critter but she can match Nancy Pelosi for poise under pressure any day of the week and twice on Sundays. She's going to be President someday.

    There was a guy some years ago who hoaxed the Today show with this idea that we should all start to chow down on cockroaches. Dead giveaway was the name he used, Gregor Samsa

    You are demonstrating what I point out constantly, that the left has no sense of humor. They certainly can’t handle any self deprecating humor.

    BTW, since AOC has not condemned or disavowed this woman or what she said, it’s clear that she must be in full support of eating babies.

    One time the entirety of La Rouche's Presidential Campaign was a half hour commercial on a major network broadcast the day before the election where he spent the entire 30 minutes explaining why the only planned accomplishment of his time in office had to be an expedition to the Red Planet. I can still recall his final slogan "On to Mars"

    Thanks for clearing that up. Given how far down the rabbit hole some members of the woke left have gone, it is real damn hard to distinguish between what they believe and right wing trolls of what they believe. We have actual elected Democrats signing bills that legalize killing newly born babies in slow agonizing deaths (imagine watching a newly born infant struggling for oxygen and doing nothing to assist the little one), how big a step is it from that to eating the babies?

    Hold it right there, you meant to say the prank could not have worked if it wasn't believable and it was. We're talking about people who say our coastal cities are going to flood because of the melting ice caps (yet no one is moving out of Manhattan), that entire countries would be wiped out, that environmental racism is somehow a defense for illegals to come here, even a democrat presidential candidate has said people should start moving to higher ground, and this is all done using Photoshopped pictures of polar bears as to emphasize the point we're all going to die in 12 years. And if that doesn't float your boat, we have our basic alarmists who vow not to have kids because of global warming and you guys even flew in an angry 16 year old mental kid to lecture us on something she could not possible have experienced in her lifetime. And believe it or not, a European nut job has already called for us to eat babies, so this prank is literally based on repeating what the left has already said.

    Your move.
