Democrats: The Party of Attack Imagery, and Outright Attacks
Townhall.com ^ | February 14, 2021 | Jeff Davidson

In times of turmoil, is toxic, heated rhetoric emanating from the White House justifiable?

"They bring a knife – we bring a gun."

"I want you to argue with them and get in their face!"

"I don't want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I'm angry!"

"Hit back twice as hard."

"We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick."

"The other party's victory would mean hand to hand combat."

"Punish your enemies."

"I'm itching for a fight."

Such combative political discourse must have been from Donald Trump, right? Except, Trump didn't say any of the above. Barack Obama did when he was president. Oh... well, not a big deal, you say? Then your double standard is showing. How can such statements be labeled contentious rhetoric if supposedly uttered by Donald Trump, but not when said verbatim by Barack Obama?

As the second sham impeachment hearing comes to a close and Donald Trump is not convicted, he is free to run again for public office. As such, the Left will become even more desperate, their tactics more vile, and their utter disdain for America more evident. Any excuse for another round of incrimination will do. 

Orchestrated and On Cue

Beyond the Capitol Building riot -- and not coincidentally during the June, July, and August 2020 protests and eventual riots -- the Left also built up the false notion that Trump incited them. The Left has few other strategies to fire up their base. Joe Biden has no followers and motivates no one. When Biden became his party's presumptive nominee, the resulting fanfare was non-existent. Biden's handful of “rallies” drew tiny numbers; camera coverage and photos were always close-in to mask the size of his minuscule crowds. Bernie Sanders generated enthusiasm; Joe Biden does not. Kamala Harris does not. 

As he signs one moronic executive order after another, employs attack imagery himself, and makes predictable verbal gaffe after gaffe, the mainstream media simply says nothing. And why would they? Biden is nothing more than a figurehead whose days as president are numbered. He has served his purpose.

The lib-stream press currently does all it can, non-stop, to make it seem as if Biden is somehow lucid and focused.

Especially during Biden’s inexorable decline, the Left's strategy is to stir up more hatred for Trump and anyone who voted for him. Their various ploys could, and likely will, include having Alinsky-inspired Leftists, posing as violent Trump supporters, deliberately placed at public events, to deceive people into believing that Trump supporters are rabble-rousers. 

They will continue to disrespect, dox, and de-platform GOP members of Congress. They will make constant accusations of racism and xenophobia right through to 2024. To rally the Left, the puppet masters have few alternatives other than fomenting more of the same. 

Their One and Only Strategy

As the spring approaches, and Antifa and BLM find new reasons to take to the streets, the fawning press will scarcely cover any stories of these protesters blocking ambulances, throwing objects, lighting fires, or inciting violence. Because those on the Right rarely march in the street or protest – most have jobs and responsibilities – it is always easier to generate a Leftist mob. Fewer of them are employed or have any clue about the degree to which they are manipulated.

A curious question arises when assessing the Left's tactics, be they violent, manipulative, or garden-variety shenanigans. If the truth was on their side, if their proposed policies and platforms had merit, if their plans for America were viable, wouldn't they be able to intelligently debate issues? Why would they need to resort to anything beyond the power of their policies and principles?

As a case in point, in any upcoming ventures that Donald Trump might launch, such as an alternative to Twitter, the Left will stage massive campaigns to impede his progress. How, precisely, does political sabotage enhance Leftist causes? Hopefully, news of their tactics will quickly spread and, presumably, greater numbers of citizens will loathe the Left even more than they already do.

In any case, no matter what they attempt, the Left cannot increase the number of people who want more of Joe Biden’s inane, off-the-mark “leadership.”

Exactly right.

I suspect some of their army don't even realize the goal of their leaders.

Information is power, total control. WHEN are we going to realize that the FIRST enemy in all of this is the media. Something MUST be done about the media FOR not properly and objectively presenting who said what and when. The rest of it will take care of itself.

We are looking at the politicians and complaining when the PROBLEM is the media distorting the facts and propagandizing everything. The media moguls are de facto running the country for their benefit.

They should know better.

Or they might just end up like the Ceaușescus

I don’t remember if it was during Clinton’s first or second term but a couple of Union thugs beat the snot out of a couple of elderly Republican supporters in Philadelphia and when Clinton was aksed about it, he gave his typical huckleberry chuckle and called it good old fashioned political debate.

And the lie about the knee on the neck of George Floyd killing him.....
proving that the media is also communist driven.... not at all investigative if it doesn’t meet their deceitful goals.

I am one of a growing number of folks that decided to experience the knee on the neck to satisfy my investigative instinct. I chose a person that could simulate officer Chauvin’s weight (online said to be 167#), and even told my ‘officer’ to put more weight on my neck than on the other knee (its a 4 point stance: 2 feet and 2 knees, with just one point putting weight on the subject; probably no more than 70#. A hip joint, knee joint, and foot creating a triangle, times 2). My findings:

It doesn’t cut off the windpipe.
The diaphram still functions.
Major veins and arteries in the neck are not pinched.
At 66 yrs old, I narrowly escaped a visit to the chiropractor.

While the optics were bad: the white man holding down the black man; unfortunately for George Floyd, he clobbered his own body, especially his lungs, with dangerous drugs.

We need to ‘pay off’ the media the same way democrats do..

1. Media outlets are struggling... conservatives should form non-profit ‘media’ organizations to offer to place reporters in newsrooms ON OUR dime... to cover areas the paper would cover anyhow: business, traditional culture etc. The paper rationalizes having a ‘minder’ in staff meetings and we get out our side in a subtle way...

2. Create media war rooms that rely on detectives and ‘bought and paid for’ sources. Get stories ethical papers can’t get because of their ethics. Then put those stories in a packet for editors to use to ‘look smart’ and capable...

3. When the coin of the realm is information bribes are made in ‘insider’ information. Reward ‘intelligence’ people willing to leak to us in exchange for favors...

4. In short rather than conservatives whining about how ‘unfair’ the press is they need to learn to play the game.

Obama was what the founders were trying to prevent when they insisted on a natural born citizen.

"And the lie about the knee on the neck of George Floyd killing him....."

Agree that it was a lie. Floyd had some seriously deadly drug habits.

"At 66 yrs old, I narrowly escaped a visit to the chiropractor."

I wouldn't recommend a knee on the neck of anyone over 60. That could attract more than a lawsuit in a truly conservative part of the country.

**I wouldn’t recommend a knee on the neck of anyone over 60. That could attract more than a lawsuit in a truly conservative part of the country.**

Well, I’m probably a minority in the 60+ crowd. I exercise regularly, which came in handy a few days ago:

Hearing of ice storms coming, I chose to save $700 and DIY, topping a 65’ tree that leans slightly toward our house. Its now about 25’ shorter. It was done safely, with a harness and ropes. I definitely was tired though afterward!

True-They are Communists who THEMSELVES follow the established blueprint of global Communism...AND openly mime the political ‘style’ of Fascists. All that stuff is well documented in film, writing and official records of decades past.

These are people who, with complete impunity, attack honest citizens in the street, damage property, spew lies and exploit confusion... Exactly like Big Labor GOONS.

There is nothing new in their conduct or language.... except that NOW it’s eagerly invited and encouraged.

Good work on keeping yourself in shape! Still trying to get up and do it again myself.
