One consistent behavior of the left is that they create a crisis, then offer to solve it, all the while blaming the victim.
So it goes with Donald Trump and his rallies. The group #BlackLiesMatter has stormed his rallies, fighting with his supporters in Chicago, and disrupting other events, and even had a lone wolf Thomas Dimassimo rush Trump on his podium. Thank the Good Lord the Secret Service was prepared and protected him quickly with their bodies, for who knows how this might have otherwise played out.
In response, the Propaganda Ministry (formerly and inaccurately known as the American News Media) blamed Trump for the attacks on him. This is the political equivalent of blaming the rape victim. They are claiming that Donald Trump caused the attacks with 'divisive and inflammatory' rhetoric.
Note, also, that the meme circulated last weekend was that Trump is just like Hitler. Yet, who is really acting like the Nazis? It is those in the #BlackLiesMatter movement, and others who would shut down Trump's rallies. In the 1920's and 1930's, the Sturmabteilung (also known as Brownshirts) stormed the rallies of their political opponents with violence and disruption. It turns out that those who falsely accused Trump of Nazism, adopted every single tactic of the Nazis themselves.
Let us momentarily ignore the hideous accusation that "Donald Trump deserved it, for he dresses like a SLUT!” Let us analyze his "divisive and inflammatory" rhetoric:
In so doing, they impugn all of us who think these comments are very positive developments in modern politics -- and, most importantly, they blame Trump for the attacks upon his supporters and upon his person. They are saying that "Trump deserves his rape! He dresses like a SLUT!"
This is the most base and vile possible argument. People who advance this heinous must be called out and publically shamed for their comments. Additionally, let us imagine for a moment that Trump *was* speaking in an objectionable way. America traditionally does not shut down objectionable speech. America traditionally meets such speech with more speech.
I was quite disappointed to see Ted Cruz jump aboard this argument, and it gives me pause per his true allegiances and motivations. He presented the obligatory condemnation of the attackers, and then used the word 'but', and went on to defame Donald Trump. I hold that most of the time that people say "this, BUT that", they deny their first clause, and are actually solely advocating their second clause. Cruz went right to the most base of all possible arguments. He agrees: "Trump deserves his rape! He dresses like a SLUT!"
This argument cannot stand, and we must call out anyone who advocated this "blame the victim" mentality.
Changing the subject doesn’t change the facts.
Cruz is toast and a fraud. HA HA HA.
Oh, and do you want to know the difference? Trump made up for it with his Muslim ban. Cruz is getting worse daily.
I dont really know how to “feel” about that.....
Great post laz.
Add me to your list Laz!
Good article, Laz. I disagree that the wall is “sensible” though. Or perhaps a better term would be “necessary” as a symbol.
If we were being “sensible”, we would recognize that immigration is a symptom, not a cause. The cause is a plethora of failed and corrupt states on our southern border and the sensible thing to do is what we should have done 150 years ago and annex.
I was going to vote for Cruz. Hello Mr. Trump - just stop bragging so much is all I ask.
At least Tramp I mean Trump is dressed. Our current emperor has no clothes.
Please add me to this ping list.
Excellent!
LOL THANKS for the laugh this morning, makes a good start for my day.
Now on topic. For the last 7 years plus, the O one has TRIED to make riots and cause division in this country. BUT this beautiful country did not fall for it. Only a few isolated areas and few people engaged his plan. Remember the wonderful mother of a black youth running up to her son and starts smacking him and telling him to go HOME. What are you doing? Well my FRiends, THAT is our country.
So O’s solution? Bring illegal migrants to our wonderful country!
Muslims and Mexicans to stir the masses, killing and causing mayhem. What FLAGS were shown at the Chicago Rally?
Donald J. Trump is RIGHT! Remove the Illegals and we will have our jobs back and we will see much less murders and mayhem.
Now what do your LEADERS, MEDIA SAY???
The very one that understands and has a solution for this problem. He is causing the riots???
Pay attention! Let’s make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
“I don’t regret it at all. Some of these protestors were violent,” Trump told Lemon. “They were swinging, they were hitting people and they were really doing damage and, frankly, the crowd turned on them or the police turned on them. In most cases it was the police.”
Gondring did offer an example that was over the top, in which Trump said he'd like to punch one particular protester. Trump definitely needs to tone that stuff down, HOWEVER, even here he makes a good point: "We're not allowed to push back anymore," Trump said.
Now, that acknowledged, we still must return to the premise of this article:
Rhetoric does not excuse violence, and if you are violent, you do not get to claim, as your defense: “Donald Trump dresses like a SLUT!”
It will be a mess wherever you go in this world from now on——this is only the beginning of troubles, wars, evil persons wreaking havoc all over the world——just read the Bible and you will have a better understanding of what is pre-ordained and plainly laid out for all to read and understand—we have thrown God out of our schools and wonder why our children have little respect for their elders-—our political leaders have little or no morality left in their guidance for our Nation-—and so it goes——but, do not fear as the Lord has control and will cleanse this evil world in His own time nd all will be well for those who stand fast a obey His rules——best to all
You ‘get it’. Awesome.
You nailed it Laz!!!
Any individual who takes it upon himself to commit violence against another individual must meet certain standards for self-defense to avoid prosecution in this country.
I am not aware of ANY standard by which a third party can be held, in any way, liable for the violent actions of another short of conspiracy.
Two thumbs up!
LOL! That is the stuff of nightmares!
Kelly looked like she was farting.
