He should come right out and blame everyone who didn’t vote for him.

right wing extremist hate speech

I remember the story line after the old Soviet Union broke up and there was a coup attempt by hard line communist to take over the government. These hard line communist were referred to as “right wing extremist”!

So to the media, anyone they disagree with regardless of their political belief is automatically a “right wing extremist”, which begs the question is there anyone that disagrees with them that they do not consider extremist?

Gov Hickenlooper (D-CO) is speaking straight from the liberal’s no-penalty playbook of free association and projection.
1) Eventually, if simply by the law of averages, one of these shooters will be associated with a conservative-identifiable group (not just holding a Confederate flag!)
2) Getting this talking point on the news as soon as possible influences the Democrat base LIV (Low Information Voter) who only sees the headlines.
3) No retraction is ever necessary as the MSM holds ‘D’ people to a lower level of responsibility.
4) Since Democrats are already divorced from reality, the projection is that they feel akin to wild and crazy people.

It is not “inflammatory rhetoric” to suggest planned Parenthood obey the law and stop selling dead baby parts for profit.

Notice the talking points out of the left in Europe right now.

It’s not the millions of muslims which they are allowing to pour into their countries that is the problem because only a small percentage of the muslims are extremist.

The problem is with the “right wing” which oppose the muslims pouring into their country because ALL right wingers are extremist.

Same talking points coming out of multiple govts, multiple news organizations and coming from both sides of the pond tells you this is a coordinated strategy coming from the left.

What a surprise Putin/Russia is actually opposing the muslims and therefore Putin/Russia is right wing extremist and if you oppose muslims you support Putin/Russia.

Commies will be commies. Not often do they get a narrative they can work against the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Never mind the facts.

So no left wing biased news source would have mentioned baby parts in stories?

When you consider there is an al Qaeda doc from Osama bin Laden himself which states to the effect the media, meaning the news, is 90% of the preparations for the battle, this Astroturfing 101 is more than just talk it’s preparation for a major terrorist attack.

With the internet connecting the world the left is having to coordinate news stories on both sides of the pond at the same time and it’s becoming obvious what they are doing.

Everyone coming up with the same talking points at the same time can only be through coordination and that level of coordination takes time and planning, it’s not spur of the moment.

Don’t you need electricity to run your radio to listen to talk radio? He didn’t have electricity so how did he hear talk radio.

I have two radios with hand cranked generators backed up with small fold out solar panels. Only one has shortwave, both have AM, FM, Marine Band, and Weather Band. Both are capable of charging cell phones and other such devices.

The blame should go to:

A) The deranged weed-smoking lunatic
B) Rush Limbaugh
C) Michelle Malkin
D) Organizers of the National March for Life

(This is apparently a stumper for Democrats. Of course in their world you get 70% credit for blaming Limbaugh for anything)

Chickenpooper needs a new speechwriter not quite so blind to reality and with his/her nose not so far up the DNC’s posterior.

Any time someone shoots a motorist these Global Warming liars should have their rhetoric blamed.
