This POS was hating Jews long before President Trump was sworn in. It’s ridiculous that this question is even being asked.

[teletech]

The Left is predictable.

Unfortunately, the people whom ask questions like this have not bothered to understand the history of the NAZI’s, Socialists, and Antifa. The German workers party (socialists) developed a group of Communists/Socialists to protect them. The SA, made up and controlled by Communists and Socialists was the enforcer and protection for the NAZI’s. Eventually, Hitler, during the night of the long knives, eliminated the leadership of the SA. What I am trying to say is that the Socialists were instrumental in both the NAZI and SA rise and even the early ANTIFA. The twisting of history by the left wing has left out the obvious connection of all these groups to Socialism. The also conveniently leave out that the Communists, SA, Nazi’s, and Hitler had the same goals, elimination of the German Republic.

Now that I have stated an quick synopsis of the Socialists, their joint ventures, and there intimate relationship to NAZI’s, it should be obvious that Trump has no connection to these people or their acts.

How much responsibility the media have in the Synagogue shooting.

[Morpheus2009]

As much as Obama would if he was POTUS. In other words, Trump has zero fault in this. The libs are fools for even making this a question and they haven’t answered how Russians could change he election or how Trump could be working for China or Russia when he is not letting them kick us around, the opposite of what the Russians or the Chinese would actually want. Sorry, I can’t take any of them at face value

[mulligan]

Zero

[IronJack]

I don’t know. Is there a value less than zero?

[faucetman]

NONE!

[Bell Bouy II]

FOX needs to trot out all the past coverage of Obama and Holder arm in arm with Calypso Louie and there is no shortage of it

[MNJohnnie]

None. However the actual violent acts against Trump official, GOP Congress people and ordinary Trump supporter daily IS fully the responsibility of the Clown Media mindless recitation of the Democrat party hate speech the last 2 years,

[alloysteel]

We are talking about the San Francisco Chronicle here. Home town newspaper of Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein and Kamala Harris.

And the editorial board there probably thinks they are being temperate.

[Sarah Barracuda]

How come no one mentions Farrakhan and the DISGUSTING things he said about Jews..calling us termites..does the Democrat Party need Farrakhan SO badly they will cover for him..and gee, how much responsibility did Obama take after the Pulse Nightclub shooting, asking for a friend

[353FMG]

You beat me to it.

[Impala64ssa]

Leave it to a rag like the SF Cronic BULL to come out with dreck like this.

[artichokegrower]

Would be like saying Obama inspired Nidal Malik Hasan to commit the Ft. Hood shooting. Similar number of causalities.

[Drew68]

The Left’s attitude on this can be summed up as: “Donald Trump is to blame. Robert Bowers might not have been a Trump supporter but he should have because his racist views mirror those that we project all Trump supporters of holding.”

[dragonblustar]

This article is freaking disgrace and the writer needs to be horse whipped for coming up with such BS.

News media of all kinds bear the most responsibility - other than the deranged murderer himself, of course.

If News Media all put shootings like this on back pages, did not mention the name and referred to the shooter in terms such as "deranged murderer" shootings would significantly decrease.

That is a known fact which is studiously ignored by all.

When school shootings began in the '90s I said this in a comment. A journalism professor replied, telling me that when he was a TV newscaster in the '70s an unwritten agreement circulated that "streakers" would receive little or no coverage. (I would note that also a song came out making fun of streakers.) The burgeoning "streaker" movement died. This is not hard to figure out. You don't really have to be a psychology professor or a journalism professor to know this.
