When You Label Half of the Country Racist…
American Thinker.com ^ | May 17, 2022 | Blaine L. Pardoe

Hearing of the the racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, I fully anticipated the leftist cries to restrict guns. But these calls were overshadowed by an elevation of a more recent progressive talking point: Blaming Republicans as a whole for the attack. Rolling Stone, long a banner-carrier for the Left, went with these headlines: “The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican… The right-wing extremists who control the modern GOP are all gripped by a racist delusion.” CNN’s Jim Acosta came out and laid the blame at Tucker Carlson’s doorstep. Newsweek ran the headline, “Parkland Father Blames Ron DeSantis, Other Republicans for Buffalo Shooting.”

Overnight, anyone who had conservative values and voted Republican was complicit in mass murder and carried the taint of being called a racist… or so the Left hoped.

The fact that the mainstream media outlets conveniently aligned to this narrative points to the fact that it was an organized libelous hit job. Clearly it was an orchestrated narrative, executed prior to the fall elections, points to a new level of desperation. With the realization that they cannot win on the actual political issues, they have lowered themselves to outright lying.

The acts of this despicable killer are his and his alone. His actions do not reflect Republican values and ideals. Without any research short of a quick reading of his “manifesto,” the Left is taking a giant step in blaming all Republicans for this outrage. It is a new level of irresponsibility on their part. The progressives have long absolved individuals of responsibility for what they do. To them, this is guilt that must be placed on their opponents. The truth has no real bearing in this blame-game.

Spot on. I am sick and tired of all of the lies. Satan is the Father of Lies the Bible says and these people accusing conservatives of being the killers that liberal leftists ARE or want to become are going to answer to God for what they cause.

Research this young man's life and you will find NO God in his life but politics. Lots of people have allowed politics to become their religion. We as a nation must turn back to God or we will consume ourselves and the crumbs will be swept up by an awaiting invader.

Do you have to actually say it? Really? Like it was a possibility?

The old Soviet Union had over 70 years (and the full weight of the government) to indoctrinate their citizens but in the end reality won out.

I believe it was Lincoln who said “you can full some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but you can not full all the people all the time.”

The Democrat parties agenda like the Soviet’s agenda can not work. Both go against human nature.

I believe when historians look back at this time they will note 2022 was the peak of Democrat power. Their words are no more powerful then a VooDoo witch doctor, they only work if you believe when they curse you. If you don’t believe then they are only words, meaningless lies with no weight.

It may not look like it today, but the left has already lost the war and soon they will be swept away into the dust bin of history leaving others to clean up the mess they made.

As bad as it is today Americans have survived worse. The good news is all the bad things going on today are the direct repose to out of control government rules, laws and regulations.

A new congress and a new President can correct those.

We are not at the end of Democrat caused problems but we are at the beginning of the end.

The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican…

They definitely have this wrong. If Mainstream Republicans had his shooting skills, there would be more Republicans alive today and fewer Republicans locked up as political prisoners.

The left’s blame game is entirely predictable and expected. It is an opportunist attempt of assign guilt by association. The proper response is to shrug it off.

I believe you are an ignorant ass that does not have the ability to think beyond today.

History is a clue to the future, perhaps you should try reading some rather then spending your time smelling Unicorn farts.

If, in a certain region, the racists happen to be in the majority, they can create racist laws.

That’s “democracy” right?

Okay, but we get to blame all black-on-white, black-on-Hispanic, black-on-black, and black-on-Asian crime on Democrats. Fair is fair. They also get all the Muslim terrorism, anything done by illegals, any crimes committed by gays or trans... In fact, I’ll go as far as to say we’ll take the blame for the racists and the gay-bashers, and they get EVERYONE ELSE. Then we’ll count up the bodies and decide who is worse. Let’s run that deal by them and see what they say.

‘Racist’ is an allegation that has become weak and worthless from overuse.

CRT and calling your political opponents racists creates racism.

Dems/libs/commies - YOU all reap what you sow and by the way the buffalo shooter defined himself as a black and jew hating leftist so get your damn stories straight!
