Donald Trump’s base is itching for a fight
The Chicago Sun Times ^ | November 23, 2018 | Gene Lyons

As the Trump Dynasty stumbles into misrule and failure, how long before the first well-known journalist gets murdered?

With the president designating the news media as “enemies of the people,” unstable personalities like pipe-bomb mailer Cesar Sayoc and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter have been shaken loose from their moorings.

Imitators surely will follow.

Not that there’s anything new about it. Soreheads have been menacing journalists since the invention of newspapers. Recently, a man in Mountain Home, Arkansas, was charged with terroristic threatening after repeated phone calls targeting CNN’s Don Lemon.

I wondered if he was the same idiot who used to call my home 20 years ago threatening rape and mayhem. At age 39, he appears too young. But more about that to come.

Two things are different about the current menacing climate: One is that left-wing cranks have gotten involved. Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s wife was recently menaced by a crowd of “anti-fascist” protestors at their home. Activists affiliated with “Smash Racism D.C.” banged on the door, chanting, “We know where you sleep at night!”(continued)

When I read crap like this, I think of Rambo. “Why are you pushing me”

Not the streets, in the newsrooms. Of course they see themselves as blameless if their fears became a reality, which I doubt it will. Of course if it happens to Fox News there will be no mention of how Obama and numerous other Democrats have demonized them over the years, and still do.

Murdering jorno’s is a Deep Statist thing - Breitbart, Clancy, that guy from Rolling Stone that got droned in LA, PROMIS guy, Seth Rich bludgeoning suicide, Scalia, on and on - then there’s Alamo Girl’s list . . .

The media is begging for war.

Well, if it happens guess who to get rid of first.

Typical 7-year old mentality liberals have. They can dish it but can’t take it.

Really? Now WHAT would make say that Mr. Lyons? Would the rampant criminality of the Democrats, their voter fraud, their physical attacks, threats and support of those who want us dead? Tell us why?

How many are on the Clinton and RAT “room temperature” list? And, who murdered Vince Foster and Seth Rich and why?

Sorry, journalist, but riots are almost always by the left-wing. In fact, I can’t remember a right-wing riot. And journalists push for or ignore the violence.

Too late Indeed. Leftist, Liberal Democrat, Bernie Sanders supporter attempts mass shooting of REPUBLICANS.

Republicans miss calculated here. They said you shouldn’t blame Bernie Sanders supporters for this shooting. Yes you should! Republicans should continually attack the liberal media and liberal Democrats for the shooting since Bernie is a liberal Socialist Democrat.

They know who killed Seth Rich. And they even know why he was killed.

The only evidence I’ve heard of are “the recordings”, which Turkish intelligence says they played for the US and EU representatives. That was denied by a couple of US sources that Erdogan said had heard them. But they gave nobody a copy of the recording.

So, at this point I’m still saying this is Turkish Propaganda against MBS. To divide the US and SA.

I can be convinced otherwise with proof, but I’m not there yet.

And if SA did it, it really makes no difference. If he turned against SA and supported Iran at the expense of SA, that is a serious crime. (not justification of methods that have been described)

Turkey Lies a LOT. So we wait.

“...how long before the first well-known journalist gets murdered?”

There are no real journalists on the Left...so they’re safe.

The Las Vegas attack on Republican concert goers was by at least one Democrat nut, and his wife who apparently was on the FBI payroll.
