Here is a fascinating and disturbing look at the effort to weave together various different narratives about different people to hate and be afraid of. This morning former Rep. Michele Bachmann tweeted that 70% of refugees are “gang-age males.” At least in terms of the 10,000 Syrian refugees that are currently roiling the national political debate, my understanding is that this clearly wrong – quite apart from defining what is presumably 15 to 25 year old men as “gang-age”.
But what is really amazing is the article Bachmann links to.
The article in The American Thinker is about what it terms “rape jihad”, by which it means what it claims is the “disproportionately high numbers” by which Muslim men rape non-Muslim women in country’s with Muslim minority populations.
You could easily swap “Muslim” and “Black” and have something close to indistinguishable from a million things written in the South about black men endangering the chastity of white women in the South in the century before 1965.
