MSM’s Assault on Trump and His Supporters Continues as Political Violence Accelerates
IWB ^ | Robert Carbery

Posted on 06/20/2017 5:36:07 AM PDT by davikkm

The mainstream media’s assault on the Trump administration and its voters continues. The heated rhetoric has contributed to the rising instances of political violence from the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise to the refusal of service of those wearing Trump-related attire. Violence from the left has been the dominant theme during the six-month Trump administration and it does not appear to be slowing down.

Conservatives shut down a play in the park for 30 seconds and the leftists freak out that they are fighting back.

CNN’s Dean Obeidallah wrote an opinion piece about Trump supporters’ hypocrisy in recent days. He calls it ironic that so many on the right are outraged at the holding up of Trump’s decapitated head by another butthurt celebrity or the Julius Caesar play depicting the killing of a Trump-like figure. Trump voters have a right to be upset as calling for the killing of the president is becoming common place. I am not calling for the silencing of political views from those people I do not agree with. Those on the right are merely asking for a little respect to come from our political opponents. Hold back on the hysteria. Attack arguments not individuals. We’re all Americans, here.

The purpose of the former is to instigate the latter.

A lot of folks on the right are freaking out, too. They seem to have a "happy martyr" complex. I cannot understand it.

The left is full of anger and hatred. They are not fit to live in a civilized society. I propose they be deported.

Agreed. The Left is allowed to step over lines all the time, but their transgressions are seldom reported. When they are, they're bylines on the back page.

When a conservative, Christian, gun-loving, red-blooded American defends him/herself, the media and the Left are quick to classify it as a hate crime or terrorism, because we shouldn't be allowed to defend ourselves.

The longer term issue here is that in order to turn back the flood, we have to fight and continue the offensive for longer than just a handful of melees. The Left is using Alinsky tactics of overwhelming the system with bad news to fatigue the minds of regular Americans. Unless and until someone decides to step up and act in concert against the Left, they're going to win, continue to win, and eventually those small victories will add up to a cultural shift from which we can never recover.

...And they know this.

I can tell you what Union general William Tecumseh Sherman had to say about reporters:

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.”

“The left is full of anger and hatred.”

That’s a fact.

What is totally mind blowing is that the media, Scott Pelley being a prime example, are so filled with Trump hatred they become blinded by reality and have become psychotic activists. I truly believe the likes of Pelley need to undergo psychiatric treatment to deal with their hate.

The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 was incited, encouraged, and coordinated by broadcasts from state-owned radio stations within Rwanda.

Pelley is exhibiting signs of a mental breakdown. His family ought to intervene.

My opinion of William Tecumseh Sherman went up several notches because of that quote.

Hmmm not sure about that. We share common geography but seem to have less and less in common.
