The Left has often claimed that the rhetoric of conservatives causes violence. For instance, take the false accusations over the years that Sarah Palin incited the Tucson shooting that killed six and left a dozen wounded, including Representative Gabby Giffords, critically so. But when it comes to incidents like the attempted assassination of Steve Scalise (and others) by a Bernie Sanders-supporting Rachel Maddow superfan, the Left and the establishment don’t say much, even when there seems to be a much stronger link between the rhetoric and the violence.
That’s why some recent comments on social media deserve notice. When Joe Biden took cheap shots at Donald Trump and the Republican Party at the G7, Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch, among numerous others, rebuked him. But Matthew Dowd, a former ABC bigwig whose Twitter profile claims “Democrats are only vehicle today to save the Republic,” responded by claiming the GOP is “an antidemocratic entity,” going on to say that “our politics will only be detoxified if the gop [sic] as it currently constituted is gone.” Ron Fournier, formerly an AP “journalist,” added a comment implying that “terrorist-backing, anti-democratic forces” are fair game.
Those social media exchanges only reinforce what we noted when we called out David French, also of The Dispatch, for falsely claiming conservatives were lying when we said the Left hates grassroots Patriots and seeks to silence them. Our commentary in February, when left-wing “national security experts” openly compared the Republican Party to a terrorist cell that would be raided or bombed, also touched on the dangerous rhetoric coming from the Left. While we have said those who broke the law on January 6 should be punished, we also have said that the reckoning needs to extend across the board.
But part of that reckoning includes addressing the past. Grassroots Patriots who have seen themselves smeared as racists (or worse) over the years have every right to question what that rhetoric — and the Republican/conservative establishment’s failure to stand up to it — could lead people to do.
The smears continue, with an accident being falsely portrayed as a terrorist attack, and then Florida Governor Ron DeSantis facing phony claims he enabled it.
Dennis Prager has not been wrong to point out that the constant portrayal of Trump as an illegitimately elected Russian puppet who thought white supremacists were “very fine people” and was an existential threat to democracy could have not just had effects on the 2020 election, including the need to “fortify” it. That rhetoric also probably provoked violence against conservatives as well. Just ask the attendees of this year’s Western Conservative Summit and the journalists who covered it.
When a former media bigwig says the only way to detoxify politics is to wipe out the GOP, and another once-prominent reporter paints Biden’s political opponents as “terrorist-backing, anti-democratic forces,” it’s fair to question whether the Biden administration is scheming to weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents, particularly given the track record of abuses and lies grassroots Patriots have witnessed.
The Left and “Never Trump” types can try to gaslight about “norms and standards” all they want, and they can try to paint grassroots Patriots as paranoid. But the fact is, what comes out of their own mouths and keyboards often prove grassroots Patriots are right to fear what the Left’s hateful rhetoric can lead to — that things won’t stop with a “fortified” election.
We have all the guns and the ammo and the training
Right now were using legal means to strangle the left once and for all, by ending all of their vote fraud bullshi it’s
They are going to fight tooth and nail and use their media to try to deny everything but it’s going to be rocksolid photo by photo proof and I don’t know how they’re going to riggle out of it
Even back in November it was very clear from Q in the Trump people that they had all the evidence that they needed because of the executive order and basically video and audio taping everything that the Democrats did
So now instead of being in a hurry to try to wrap this up by January 6 we have all the Time in the world
All the Time in the world. To get this right on the money
Yes I know I know I know Biden and the Democrats are destroying the United States and so on and so forth
But it’s going to be a long hot summer for the Democrats , And they’re cheating lying ways I believe
Mike Lindel Flynn and many other patriots have been saying mid August Trump gets reinstated
That’s two months ; or an eternity ; from now
Look, I’m not the brightest bulb on the tree, but didn’t this big bucks lawyer just ADMIT that they DID count counterfeit ballots in 2020? Duuuhh?

Jonah Goldberg and David French are Vichy Republican, National Review fags.
They stole the election and they know they stole the election.
That’s why they are fighting audits and reforms.
They have to cheat to win.
Geez, does everyone have their own newsblog now or what?
bump
Especially French. He waves the white flag.
It really is the only way anymore.
Publishers will not publish your book if you don’t have a “platform.” They do not want to do any marketing. They want you to do all the work.
Boldburger & Frenchfry are hideous. They’d be yelling at the Nazis, “Hey, over here! We have a Jew here!”
Good catch, Dick.
Well, Trump won’t be reinstated via any Constitutional method. Period. It isn’t in the document.
If it’s extraconstitutional, I don’t want any part of it.
And I don’t believe Q for one second.
I’ve got your book on the Trident submarine. It’s on my reading list but still haven’t read it. Too many pages for me I guess. Haha.
What’s a web blog got to do with a book?
I’m talking about news blogs that have zero original content.
Ha. We wrote that in 1984.
