    This is a strawman argument. Nobody is saying they are beyond scrutiny. What people are saying is they shouldn't be smeared as crisis actors, liars, etc. https://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/978698528561291264 …

        The right is frustrated precisely because they can't smear and defame these young people without looking like monsters.

        Also, Ahmari's assertion that the gun control debate represents a "front on the culture war" because marchers wore buttons with the word "fuck" on them is idiotic.

        Bad faith and strawmen are all they have.

        Actually, many many people say they are beyond scrutiny. Even the smallest criticisms have been attacked as 'hateful' here on Twitter. So your claim is false.

        Not saying you’re totally wrong. I’m sure somewhere there are level-headed folks offering “small [fair?] criticism.” But all I’ve seen are those stating these kids haven’t a clue and are simply “liberal puppets” and “parrots.” To me, that’s hateful. And crap.

        Real quick let Noah find one random account on the internet to blow a hole right through your straw man theory.

        Old law expression: if the facts don’t support you, pound the law; if the law doesn’t support you pound the facts; if neither support you, pound the table. We’re definitely at the table pounding stage

        Fact check them by all means but what we're seeing from some pretty high profile places is smearing.
