Virgil: The Left Whips Up a Climate of Violence — the Prime Target Is Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 2-7-2017 | Virgil

1. Target: Trump Is there a media-driven “climate of violence”? You bet there is, and it’s being whipped up by the left and the Main Stream Media, here and around the world. And it has a clear purpose: The ultimate goal is the destruction of the Trump presidency—and, for at least some, seemingly, the goal is the assassination of President Trump himself.

But don’t take Virgil’s word for it: Have a look at the cover of Village magazine. That cover shows a rifle’s crosshairs superimposed on a photograph of Trump’s head. And the headline reads, “Why not.”

village-magazine-why-not-cover

The once-obscure magazine, published in Ireland, is now basking in worldwide attention, and American social media are happy to magnify Village’s glorification of a criminal act. Here’s that deadly image, for example, on Twitter. As an aside, we might ask: Doesn’t Twitter have rules against “hate speech” and “incitement of violence”? Or are they not enforced when the target is on the right?

The Village article itself plays a clever editorial game. It begins by describing Trump as “a purveyor of hatred” and then lists all his other purported sins, including the mistreatment of refugees, an overall wrong-headed foreign policy, retrograde ideas on “climate change,” and opposition to abortion.

After that litany, the magazine considers the options: “So perhaps the solution is tyrannicide. As he might say himself—‘take him out.’”

Next, under the heading, “Kill Him?” the magazine proceeds to cite philosophers and theologians who have declared tyrannicide to be justifiable, from Cicero to Thomas Aquinas to Martin Luther. And then, to rub the point in even harder, the magazine admiringly recalls the German Klaus von Stauffenberg, who nearly succeeded in killing Hitler in 1944. The message is obvious: Trump is another Hitler, and so you, the reader...

The libtards went nuts when Sarah Palin put a “target” on politicians naming those who should be voted out. Then they blamed her when Giffords was shot.... By a libtard.

These people are nuts. What’s that about fighting fire with fire?

To be a leftist is to have no principles, no concept of right or wrong.

Wrong. The ultimate goal is the destruction of the United States along with our free and democratic process of electing political leaders.

Oh, my, we’ve moved from coffee-house revolutionaries to coffee-house assassins. What, exactly, do these cupcakes think would happen to them if assassination became a legitimate tool of political discourse?

Perhaps conservatives should let it be known that, should it happen, Trump’s assassination will be considered the “go” signal for the eradication of leftists all across America? Maybe that would get it through their thick skulls that they are engaged in a perilous game of chicken.

Bingo!

I sincerely hope that the terrorists who own this publication are being fully investigated by the USSS.

I don’t know who she was listening to but when Trump told the senate to “go nuclear” a co-worker was led to believe he meant bombs.

There are lots of people who believe the electrical college should be eliminated. Some if them want to attend classes.

Then there are those who feel the same way about the electical college.

"Start the smackdown of these leftist POS anarchists."

Most of these protesters are just 'Useful Idiots'.

The first order of business is to go after the source of their money: Soros, Steyer, and tech execs from CA, WA, and OR.
