Trump Didn’t Start The Fire

The Trump campaign released a very long list of other blame-the-victim examples.

Yet, while the left holds Trump entirely responsible for the impact of his rhetoric, it always excuses its own hatemongering.

At a White House press briefing this week, Fox News’ Peter Doocy posed this question to Karine Jean-Pierre: “It’s been only two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again, and you’re here at the podium in the White House briefing room calling him a threat. How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the President and the Vice President, and you, pick a different word to describe Trump other than ‘threat’?”

Her mind bogglingly obtuse response: “The question that you’re asking is … incredibly dangerous in the way that you’re asking it.”

That’s been the pattern for decades. Rush Limbaugh got blamed for the Oklahoma City bombing. Sarah Palin for the Gabby Giffords shooting. Despite the fact there wasn’t even a microscopic filament connecting them.

But when a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter targeted Republican lawmakers and very nearly killed one of them – after Sanders said Republicans are guilty of killing people for not supporting socialized health care – the left scratched its collective head about a motive. And when a terrorist targeted the Family Research Council precisely because it was on the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate list,” there wasn’t a peep about toning down the rhetoric.

The truth is that it’s the left that has always seen hatred and violence as weapon. Don’t think so? Here’s a quotation from one of the left’s great heroes, Che Guevara: “Hatred as the central element of our struggle! Hatred that is intransigent … hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold-blooded killing machine.”

KJP admits that there is a propaganda plot against Donald Trump’s life.

Doucy caught her square in the cross hairs.

"Yet, while the left holds Trump entirely responsible for the impact of his rhetoric, it always excuses its own hatemongering.'

The left is forever willing to sacrifice someone else to obscure their own character defects.

Yep. Those people ARE evil. They are the very face of evil. They plan to kill everyone who opposes them. Watch it happen...

Or, the more modern Fabian.

Really doesn't matter. It is all windows dressing for secular humanism. Liberal, used to be good, now perverted 180. Progressive, pure projection. People's Republic of anything, outright lie.

Exactly. Those conspiracy theories became reality. If the “Progressives “ somehow complete the takeover, we’ll be branded as unstable and measures will be proposed to control us. (H Clinton just called for arresting people who spread “disinformation “ or speech they hate )

He sure did. It exposes the emptiness of Biden’s cool down the rhetoric statement.

KJP, in a once in a decade moment of compassion, easily could have apologized for using the word “threat” and vowed to not use it again. But, alas, her tribe has no intention of doing anything civil from this point forward.

Could Trump tone down his rhetoric? Sure.

Can someone, ANYONE, tell me what "rhetoric" he needs to tone down? Maybe give me an example or two that I can compare to the vicious and slanderous invective that the leftists have been screeching about Trump, non-stop for close to 10 years?
