Stephen Miller Thread

[The Atheist]

Now that he's the Big Cheese, he deserves his own thread.

I'll kick it off in appropriate manner.

I'm not sure weather to laugh or vomit at that story.
Which, appropriately, is much the same way I think about Stephen Miller.

 

[azazal]

Only questions for Stevie, yes I am going to call him that.

Who was she Stevie? Who was that Rubenesque Latina that broke your heart and fractured that what passes as you soul? Was it High school or college? When you asker her out, did she just say no? Laugh at you? Or was it that she threw up on you when asker her out?

As discussed at New York Magazine, Stephen Miller's first exposure to national media was the Duke Lacrosse case. "Miller’s columns made him a sought-after guest for cable-news bookers desperate for a conservative campus voice. “He was unusually media-savvy,” said K. C. Johnson, a Brooklyn College professor who wrote a book about the case and met Miller several times. “My sense of Stephen then — and there’s certainly nothing that’s changed my mind — is that criticism from what he would see as politically correct elements was not going to dissuade him from speaking up.” Compared to other Duke students who appeared on TV, Miller delivered his arguments forcefully and coherently and withstood criticism. At one point, he appeared during prime time five nights in a single week, and regularly went on Nancy Grace’s show, where he displayed no fear of getting into fights...More than anything else, he stuck to the facts. “The reason Miller was right was he had the facts on his side, and he was willing to argue based on those facts,” K. C. Johnson said. “He wasn’t claiming there were a million people from Massachusetts crossing in buses into New Hampshire. It’s almost as if he’s taken the willingness to engage in the rhetorical battle and forgotten that the reason you win is you have the facts on your side. I’m not sure that lesson has stayed with him.”" Mr. Miller argued against a rush to judgment in this instance.

He's definitely the most meme-worthy.

That's excellent.

I find the "he is smart, knows the facts and can argue well" an incredibly weird flex as an excuse-adjacent description of a horrible human being using their power to do horrible things.

We might need something like Martial Arts Belt Colors to give people a heads-up that they are dealing with someone skilled that making it sound like they have a point, use extra scrutiny and punish them doubly for misusing the skills they have.

Huffpost stated, "After graduating from Duke, Miller went on to work for then-Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and John Shadegg (R-Ariz.). He joined Sessions' team in 2009, where, the senator told HuffPost, "extraordinary was an understatement" for the work he did."

Mr. Miller had the facts on his side when he debated Nancy Grace about the 2006-2007 case, but his defense of the players took a different turn versus KC Johnson's centrist, pro-due process views: "When Miller wrote his farewell column for The Chronicle, he framed the yearlong Duke lacrosse affair in terms of race, not just the fault of one rogue prosecutor. He called it "a horrifying tutorial in the moral bankruptcy of the left's politically correct orthodoxy and the corruption of our culture at its hands.""

So he looked like a useful tool that now has become the master

"Abracadabra" was only as big as it was because of the video. They weren't bad, but compared to what other groups were doing at the time they weren't particularly special.

Well we know for sure no one calls him the gangster of love. As far as being a joker, a smoker, a midnight toker, we have to wait and see though I'm pretty sure his jokes would bomb in most places that do not accept the KKK.

Can we have a thread just for the nicknames being applied to him?

I always just called him Count Orlok. But I guess I need to work a pun in there somehow.

Kurt Bar-Low.

After seeing him with spray-on hair, Count Forelock?
