Okay, all together now: HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT!

The American Left is beyond parody. Apparently Salon would have us believe that the Paris jihad massacre happened because “the right wing media” criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. Islamic jihad? Warfare against unbelievers? The Islamic State’s stated imperative to murder French civilians? Only greasy Islamophobes take such things seriously: everyone knows Fox News and Ben Carson are the real culprits!

“And so the hate speech begins: Let Paris be the end of the right’s violent language toward activists,” by Chauncey DeVega, Salon, November 13, 2015:
In a still developing situation, the city of Paris, France, is under attack by terrorists armed with guns and explosives. Many dozens of people have been killed. A still undetermined number of people have been wounded. The terrorists took dozens of hostages in a concert hall. French police and military forces have been deployed. There is mayhem and blood in the streets of Paris….
In the United States, the right-wing media and movement conservatives have for decades consistently used eliminationist and other violent rhetoric to describe liberals, progressives and other people with whom they disagree. As was seen in the recent attacks on a Charleston-area black church, and other violence by right-wing anti-government militias, such rhetoric does not float in the ether of the public discourse, harmless and unacknowledged. No, it does in fact lead to action.
In recent months, the right-wing media has used language such as “terrorism” and “violent,” or that the latter is “targeting police for murder” to describe the Black Lives Matter movement. Such bombastic and ugly screeds–which are wholly unfounded, with no basis in empirical reality–have also been used by right-wing opinion leaders to describe the African-American students who are fighting against racism at Yale and the University of Missouri….
Real terrorists have killed people in the streets of Paris. The right-wing media needs to take note of that fact and moderate their rhetoric and abusive language accordingly.
Given the American right-wing’s casual habit of using violent language to describe their foes, and to gin up fear and anxiety among the movement conservative base, the Fox News’ right-wing echo chamber and its elites should be ashamed given the death and destruction that terrorism actually reaps in practice.
What? They didn’t mention a flag or an internet video? They’re getting lazy.
Cage theory ping.
The Left is not crazy; they and Muslims are zombies who hate us.
They’re enemies of the Open Society. Birds of a feather do flock together.
It was the Weather Underground who calculated that they would need to kill 25 million hold outs after the Communist revolution in America.
It was a comic book cover, no a sh** stain on a wall, no a pastor cooking a book, no...
Just waiting for Lester Holt and NBC to tie it to DT ... somehow ...
Useful idiots
Okay, all together now: HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT!
Classic communist projection.
Wow, that is quite the satire piece there, Salon.
The Salon excerpt doesn’t appear to imply that the Paris attacks happened because the right wing used harsh rhetoric, as Spencer’s headline said.
To us, it’s just a squiggle of magic marker or spray paint.
To a muslim, it’s the sacred arabic symbol for allah.
Be respectful of other cultures.
If seen on a public walkway, such as a parking lot or floor of a rest room, be careful NOT to step on it.
OK, it wasn’t the headline, it was Spencer’s first paragraph.

There is no hope for these leftists. I can only hope that the Islamists cut their heads first when they get into power with the help of the left.
“The Left is not crazy; they and Muslims are zombies who hate us.”
The Left is full of idiots. If radical Islam should take hold here in the U.S. guess who would be the first to be tossed off the top of tall buildings. Fly birdie fly.....
These people are already dhimmis and likely sport their auto’s rear bumper. They are to be ignored in their stupidity and arrogant ignorance.
