Salon Blames Paris Terrorist Attacks on Conservatives, Calls for End to Free Speech

In the very midst of the Paris bloodbath Friday night, Salon Magazine published a shameful piece suggesting that the blame for such horrific terrorist attacks falls on the “incendiary rhetoric” of America’s conservative movement and “right-wing media” for using strong language against progressives.

Such rhetoric, Salon warned, “does not float in the ether of the public discourse, harmless and unacknowledged. No, it does in fact lead to action.”

In a bizarre comparison, the author of the rambling essay, Chauncey Devega, said that conservative criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement necessarily leads to violent uprisings like the one in Paris, and therefore should be censored. Such critiques “are implicit threats and overtures to violence as racial authoritarian fascists are a clear and present danger to democracy and freedom. Thus, they must be eliminated by any means necessary,” he wrote.

Another bit about Salon.

Why post about this tripe? Because we've got to understand that the left is as much the enemy of life and liberty as Islamo-fascism.

[Jane Long]

Yes, Salon....lets protect the radical left, so they can continue their assaults on ALL free peoples.

So, Salon has come completely out of the closet for Communism, eh?

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, at least they didn’t blame the Joooooooos.

“Why post about this tripe? Because we’ve got to understand that the left is as much the enemy of life and liberty as Islamo-fascism.”

The Left and Islam are on the same team. It is the elites, who have been pushing collectivism and Islam, who want to get rid of our freedom and liberties. The Left and Islam are just their tools for doing just that.

Man-made Global Warming, Guns & Free Speech driving islamic generic terrorism.

[Jack Hydrazine]

But what is the bigger goal for the elites? World government. And this world government won’t allow freedom and liberty to be present anywhere.

Bernie Sanders blamed climate change for muslims slaughtering innocents.

[ConservativeMind]

It was liberals that made Timothy Mcveigh blow up a building.

It was liberals that made the Civil War happen.

It was liberals that made... (insert bad thing here).

The idea that anyone, aside from the threat actors themselves, held responsibility, is asinine.

[RoosterRedux]

Nonsense.

Terrorism is caused by the lack of a $15/hour minimum wage.

[Eddie01]

“Man-made Global Warming, Guns & Free Speech driving islamic generic terrorism.”

That is the freightning message from Obama.

“Terrorism is caused by the lack of a $15/hour minimum wage.”

I thought it was a lack of unsightly windmills killing bald eagles. I need to check my sources...

“Why post about this tripe?”

There’s also a mentality that looks at the inevitable outcome being our defeat.

...and given that, perhaps by being nice, they think they’ll be spared the worst of it.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

The author of this piece is an anti-white racist, and from what I can see from his writings, ever bit as radical as ISIS. This is the face of the modern ‘left’, and it is as hateful and intolerant as any would be oppressive dictatorship that has preceded them. To hand people of this ilk the reigns of power can only end in misery for everyone. That we tolerate the inflammatory rhetoric of people like this, without widespread and public rebuttal, is irresponsible and dangerous. People like this are planting ugly seeds though out society, and we have been ignoring them. This is perilous behavior on our part, and must be rectified.

Exactly right

[DeathBeforeDishonor1]

Why would anyone care about a pro pedophile magazines political commentary?

[Jane Long]

(I didn’t post it.) See post #1 for an answer to your question.

[grumpygresh]

Salon’s raison d’etre at this point is to start the civil war.

Threat-actor bump. Libs love to smear.

“Thus, they must be eliminated by any means necessary,” he wrote.”

Funny that. I’m thinking exactly the same thing about them.
