NY Times: Make America Hate Again
NY Times ^ | July 22, 2016 | Timothy Egan

Posted on 07/22/2016 5:16:27 AM PDT by Zakeet

They didn't riot in the streets of Cleveland, as Donald Trump said his supporters would do had things not gone his way. But you saw the raw essence of a riot, the madness and loss of reason, on display in four days of chaos at the Republican National Convention.

For a campaign now devoted to "law and order," the launch was mob rule: in spirit, in tone, in words. Long after we've forgotten Trump's closing speech - that paean to self, that nightmare portrait of an America where the lights have gone out - we will remember the savagery just below the surface.

Starting on night one, when Republicans chose to manipulate the grief-deranged mother of a terrorist victim, the build-up to the hanging of Hillary Clinton was never subtle. Imagine if one party had exploited a widow of one of the 241 service members killed in the 1983 suicide bombing of Americans in Beirut — the deadliest single attack on marines since World War II — as a stick against Ronald Reagan, whose administrative negligence was much to blame.

You can't imagine. Because nothing about this Republican Party, whose leader now stands ready to repudiate nearly 70 years of security for our European allies under an "America First" banner, even remotely resembles the Grand Old Party of before. You could not find a City on a Hill, a single Point of Light, no Morning in America. Only doom, dystopia, dread, darkness - and a bumper-sticker solution to restoring greatness.

This sounds like it was written by Mark Morford.

The treasonous rat media following their orders from the Administration and George Soros Media Matters.

Although I think they have over payed the race card. That’s all they have. They can never debate the facts

I’ve NEVER seen so much hatred as we’ve had in the last eight years.

Sounds like the poor babies at the NYT are worried.

So Law and Order is a bad thing now??

That's why Obama let a whole bunch of criminals out of jail.

Reality is not something liberals understand. It's just that simple. Everything he describes in that sentence is exactly what Odumass and his minions have fomented over the last seven years and now this imbecile has the nerve to pretend that it's all a fantasy.

I hate liberals. They are clearly not capable of anything remotely civil.

Riiiiight. And Bernie rallies were studies in placid behavior. Just as BLM get-togethers are seldom marked by anything above a whisper.

Liberal hypocrisy increases exponentially as a function of fear.

Hang on.

Timothy Egan screwed up.

Today’s meme was that the speech was “Dark”.

He will be chastised severely for his deviation from the Ministry of Propaganda’s directive.

Meanwhile, the current regime is ginning up a full-out war against cops with their BLM shock troops; the same BLM which will be featured at the Dem convention. Having failed to mobilize voters for Hillary based on her being the first female president (an honor that goes of course to Obama), they’ve decided to go with the BLM angle.

“Only doom, dystopia, dread, darkness -” along with death is the liberal/democrat party platform.
The party of NO, the end, nothingness.

In their on-going smarmy attempts to be clever, the NYT’s just inadvertently admitted Hillary was to blame for Benghazi.
