The Washington Times ^ | 08-02-2018 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 08/02/2018 1:17:48 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Veteran newsman Dan Rather on Wednesday said President Trump should be held personally accountable if any violent acts are committed against the press under his presidency. Citing Tuesday night’s rally in Tampa, Florida, Mr. Rather accused Mr. Trump of “whipping up the crowd into a frenzy” and “inviting, even inciting, violence” against the press.

Believe me, these demented liberals want this to happen, just so they can blame Trump. What journalist are they going to sacrifice just so they can hang it around Trumps neck?

Soros, the DNC, the Russians and ChiComs all have deep pockets and The MSM serves them well!

And the press will never be personally accountable for letting their alligator mouth overload their mockingbird ass!

Definitely, the faux media should be held accountable for attacks by the left against the right. Can we say they are inciting terrorist-like behavior by the left against the right? Is the media delusional? I think it is delusional. They should be made to know that if they throw rocks, they will held accountable under the law for any damages or deaths their rock throwing incites.

Who is “personnally responsible” for the shooting of republican politicians? For the beating of Republican Politicians? For the attacks against Trump Supporters?

Go Project your hate and vitriol up your own a$$, maggot!

Just like 0bama was held personally responsible by the MSM for REAL acts of violence, including many homicides, against Law Enforcement Officers, right? I am trying to stir up my memories of 0bama trying to help the police.

The only violence against the press that will be coming, will be done by liberals/leftists, who will try to make it look like Trump supporters are responsible.

The MSM is trying to make itself the story here, since the Russia story is fading, and the many successes by POTUS are causing some past democrats to take another look.

In volleyball, this would be the setup for the spike.

He’s calling this out. As we speak there is a team waiting to take out a prominent journalist. They’ll have all the Q paraphernalia and everything, trimmed like Thanksgiving Dinner.

Bank on it.

Dan Rather very nearly invented #FakeNews, an accomplishment as notable
as inventing the printing press. Give him the respect he has earned.

Yeah, Dan, when you and your “journalist” brothers accept responsibility for the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalese.......

Actually, I agree. They will place the blame squarely on Trump. Thats why I wish he wouldnt use that particular phrasing “enemy of the people”, anything else is fair game though.

No. No backing down. Enemy of the people is a statement of conditions, not a call to violence, such as Maxine Waters has pushed. No backing down to the press. Maybe the press should be reflecting on their own absurd behavior.

As far back as Bush II they made a movie about the assassination of President Bush, by decapitation if I recall correctly.

Funny how their favored form of assassination is the same as Islam’s. Also it will be the favored form of the antichrist.

Seems it’s the other way round Dan - the press is instigating attacks against Trump supporters. Are you drinking/smoking the same things that Brian Williams is?

Even Obozo’s public rhetoric was inflammatory, ie “get in their faces”. God knows what he said away from the cameras, and you know everyone of his buttkissers laughed.

NO Danielle. You pukes are responsible for any “harm” that may befall any of you.

It doesn’t matter how you want to spin it. You and your brethren are directly responsible for this situation. You may try to spin it in any which way you desire, but any rational person will see the fact that you are the ones responsible.

What’s wrong? You pussies can sure dish it out, but you can’t take it!

Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing.

And if events spiral out of control, I can guarantee you one thing: You and your seditious brethren will be at the very top of many lists.

Sucks to be you.

They must think we have the attention span of the average leftist. Antifa wasn’t that long ago, and the media would not disavow them.
