On CNN, Cause of Chicago Violence Is – You Guessed It – The GOP
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/22/2013 6:24:28 PM PST by chessplayer

Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor in over 80 years. Democrats have controlled the Illinois governor’s mansion and both houses of the legislature for more than a decade, with Democrats ruling the Illinois House for 28 of the last 30 years. No matter, Chicago violence is the fault of Republicans. We learned that this morning on CNN Newsroom when anchor Carol Costello asked her “Talk Back” guests about Retired Lt. General Russel Honore’s suggestion to use National Guard troops to curb murders in Chicago. Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman astutely pinpointed the reason for Chicago’s carnage:

And let's be very clear about what's happening in Washington today and why it's undermining the city of Chicago, because there's a mindset now in our government, in Washington, from the Republican members of Congress, that sequestration is an acceptable way of doing business, that we can in fact engage in these massive irresponsible cuts that no one thinks is a logical approach to budgeting.

And that undermines law enforcement in our cities; it undermines so many education opportunities for our younger people and it does in fact -- in fact create an impoverished class of our society that leads to abuse, leads to violence and leads to more Chicagos.

Now how can a Democrat say something like this and keep a straight face? How can a member of the press let him get away with it?

The Republican House has passed several budgets every year of the Obama’s administration but they have never even reached the floor of the Democrat Senate.

Obama’s submitted budgets have been so laughable that they were not even considered in the Senate.

So a Democrat saying anything like this is so absurd as to be self satirical.

There is a good reason for this, the local citizens pay them not the FEDS.

Unless that's a lie about to be exposed. Chicago is in really bad shape financially and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was some secret money being piped into Chi-town.

It really is that sad and simple. I’ve had my arse out there taking the time and looking like the fool to explain things step by step REAL SLOW - until you hear, “WOW! I never thought of it like that!” I dunno, it’s like visiting a different planet.

I have been spening a considerable amount of time of late reading the propaganda that the Nazi’s used to desensitize their population against the jews.

We are seeing it again now...substitute “white” for “jew” and it reads almost word for word what we are hearing now.

Is it the Republicans fault that Illinois has sent four democratic Governors to prison since 1970?

"if it(Illinois) isn't the most corrupt state in the United States, it's certainly one hell of a competitor."

Chicago is ruled by Rats. Crook County is ruled by Rats. THe State of Illinois is ruled by Rats. The White House and Senate is ruled by Rats. Of course it is the GOP’s fault.

You should read “The Language of the Third Reich” by Viktor Klemperer. Its about how the nazis manipulated the language to manipulate society.

I think of the way the word “Militia” has been demonized. It once conjured images of honor, duty, and patriotism. Today its used to denote racism and anti government violence.

Interestingly enough Viktor Klemperer’s cousin was Werner Klemperer who played Col. Klink on Hogan’s Heroes.

and consider the black atty general only prosecuting hate crimes against blacks, but not whites.

if a white ag did the same thing reversed, how long would he last? and how many nationwide riots would there be, and how many libtard media people would be justifying those riots?

I thought this was going to be about blaming lack of gun control on the GOP. But the National Guard - really?

Democrats were having cows over the idea of armed guards at schools. Now they’re a** over teacups to have a member of the National Guard on every street corner in Chicago?

What is wrong with these people? The whole Democrat party is schizophrenic!

The refusal to rationalize circumstances of the masses is just an extension of European modernism which created the USSR and fanatical National Socialism in Nazi Germany. The United States is screwed, long live natural science and the refusal to acknowledge the First Cause; anxiety here we come.
