"BLACK LIVES KILL."

Those were the three words that blared across the Drudge Report early Friday morning after five Dallas police officers were killed in a horrific ambush attack.

And immediately upon seeing the race-baiting headline, conservatives rebelled against a once-reliable ally who has become more and more divisive to them over the course of the 2016 campaign.

“In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing,” Commentary Magazine Editor Noah Rothman wrote on Twitter.

“Responsible reporting as always,” sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar, from the popular Ace of Spades blog.

Others piled on.

Allahpundit, an influential anonymous conservative blogger, skewered the site for a subsequent banner headline claiming a “black power group” had claimed responsibility for the attack....

Sometimes truth is distasteful.

And I must assume they are all going to go vote for either Romney or Ryan in November. Maybe even Rubio, Bush, or Clinton.

Right now, he's using "Black Lives Batter." Rhymes better.

Probably not the best choice of headline wording, but the fact remains that BLM has been co-opted by some bad actors who would like to see chaos and division resulting in a socialist dictatorship.

Looks like they’re trying to neutralize Drudge now...

I’m not rebelling. I am reveling in the fact that Drudge tells the truth. We can’t go on pretending not to see what is in front of us, firebombing police, killing police. We can’t go on pretending that we can’t hear the hate crimes being screamed in our ears every other day by members of BLM.

This is not something that can be dismissed, like hearing the Iranians yell ‘Death to America!”, while they continue negotiations with Jon Kerry. This is real, and it’s almost in our backyards. And the conventions haven’t even begun yet.
So no, I hope Drudge does not walk anything back.

If the Black KKK wants to act like the Black KKK, they should not be surprised when they are called the Black KKK.

Muslims don’t kill. Blacks don’t kill. Must be the Amish.

The rioters of Black Lives Matter called for the KILLING OF COPS. Now a person inspired by them, if not associated with them, has killed a bunch of Cops.

Can’t see a problem with Drudge’s headline - seems dead-on.

I actually prefer Obama’s Brown Shirts myself but then the media would complain that the New Black Panther's colors are green , red and black without a hint of brown.

Maybe the conservative “light”/gopE crowd rebelled. Maybe that’s what they meant. I certainly didn’t.
