David Horowitz: Charlottesville Is Biggest 'Fake News' Story of Summer
Newmax ^ | 8/16/2017 | David Horowitz

Posted on 08/17/2017 8:59:32 AM PDT by nikos1121

The tragedy in Charlottesville, Virginia, could have been an occasion to stop and consider how the tolerance for politically correct violence and politically correct hatred is leading the nation toward civil war. Instead, the media and the political left have turned this incident into the biggest fake news story of the summer, transforming its real lessons into a morality play that justifies war against the political right, and against white people generally. The organizers of the "Unite the Right" demonstration in Charlottesville were repellent racists. But they came to defend a historic monument honoring a complex man and cause, and not to attack it or, presumably, anyone else. They applied for a permit and were denied. They re-applied successfully in a petition supported by the local ACLU. If they had come to precipitate violence, why would they have gone to the tedious trouble of applying for a permit?

I think this article and the other by Ben Stein sums things up. I'm really amazed at the anti Trump rhetoric from other GOP leaders, along with clear thinking people like Charles Krauthammer. It takes courage to speak the truth, and the truth clearly shows what Horowitz says in this article.

Sure got the attention off of Hillary and the emails, Seth Rich , Syria, Russia, pick one, heck, pick em all.

But NOooOOooooOOoo.. Trump is evil, Impeach Impeach Impeach.. The Dems&Media agenda is clear.. and it has nothing to do with turning this nation around after 8 years of being dragged thru the muck in the sewer.

Bigger than the Russian Conspiracy Theory?

That story completely fizzled. Even liberal SALON admitted this week there was nothing to it and the DNC was likely hacked from within.

The GOPe establishment turned on Trump a few weeks before the election with the p*ssy grab recording. They hate Trump. They don’t want to repeal Obamacare or build a wall because the business interests that own them (Chamber of Commerce types and big pharma/insurance) don’t want them to.

Of course they’re turning on Trump now because they have their own separate agenda and never supported him in the first place.

Trump needs to treat the GOPe establishment as the enemy and work to primary the worst offenders.

From the article:

"It is a war from which no good can come. But it won’t be stopped unless enough people have the courage to stand up and name it for what it is."

Trump found out that you cannot even point to the reality of this conflict without being denounced as a "racist," even by other Republicans. We are being told that we must remain silent about the violence on the left.

It is all a setup. It is like a PR campaign except it is politics.

In a corporate PR campaign, the press colludes with the company to get a message out. Think of a new movie coming out. Companies have tie in arrangements to market kiddie toys in Happy Meals with tied in products, etc.

Another company in the mall has a costume contest matching the movie. The press covers it all.

Same with political PR. The “Community Organizations” work with the party and the press to roll out waves of this campaign of Trump attacks.

Expect another crisis after this one runs its course.

I don't see Krauthammer as anything close to a "clear-thinker".

He's a former Dem flack and an appeaser, a reacher-across-the-isle-man, who worships decorum and loves celebrity above all, with the obvious exception of the sound of his own hackneyed opinions.

Why? Its the perfect excuse to hammer Trump. The man they have hated since day one.

They were all for the “big tent” until it elected Trump on them.

I always have been of the opinion that if you want to wrongly call me something that is a threat to you, I’ll be more than happy to treat you that way.
