One need not look too far to find an instance of some prominent liberal unleashing a mouthful of profane derision upon someone who has given them offense for one reason or another. These days, this sort of thing has been chiefly reserved for President Donald Trump and members of his family, although practically anyone who runs afoul of leftist orthodoxy is very much considered fair game.
Personally, I don’t have much of a problem with scathing criticism of one’s political opponents, particularly if they are decidedly odious or perennially mouthy individuals. I also find it gratifying that President Trump is the only chief executive in modern times who has the ability and the inclination to dish out in kind what he so often receives from his detractors.
That said, it doesn’t take a dedicated news junkie to make the determination that there has been a rapid deterioration of decorum within our political discourse in recent years. Since Trump took office, those on the political left have certainly taken the proverbial gloves off. To say that civility in political discourse has all but vanished at this point would be an understatement; this realm has become a veritable cesspool, where seething vitriol, a lynch mob mentality and foul expletives are the norm.

They are more dangerous that way than we might think. Fantasies aside, we wouldn’t get away with “shooting them” — in fact the martyrdom would be hailed.
Their hateful rhetoric is scaring me. Somebody is going to get hurt before it’s over.
The Left’s hatred of all things non-Left has rendered them incapable of rational thought ... they fail to see what they’ve become: All the things they say they hate (”bullying”; “intolerance”; “inequality”, etc., etc.)
Holy crap, to put it in the oddly istic terms present during the Obama administration, WND is the adult in the room here!
It’s a mirror of how the right says it hates “ungodliness” and yet won’t stand in a temper firm enough to calm down a raging leftist.
Godliness is forged in intense fire sometimes.
Powerful.
I saw something today about the media is going to be the cause of someone getting seriously hurt with all the hate they keep pushing.
The cooling is important in any steel forging procedure. Plunge that red hot knife in ice water and it will be brittle. Cool it in air and it will be soft. Cool it in oil and it will be tough and work without breaking.
LOL! Nah, it’s Erik Rush not necessarily wnd.
Rush mentioned yesterday that someone is going to get killed. I agree, the Left is inciting violence and it scares me to death.
Someone has to speak in a measured way. Donald Trump seems to be starting to get it.
Some one posted yesterday that constant carry is the word of the day now. As if some don’t already.
Overall violent crime is reported in some quarters to be falling.
Isn’t that why the crazed Bernie supporter tried to murder some Republican congressman?
There are a couple of dozen more examples of the left hurting or killing people because the media gaslighted them into it. Cops are being murdered as a direct result of moron Obama’s demonization of them.
