FULL TITLE........NYT Blames Conservative Targets of Campus Violence for ‘Throwing Themselves’ Into ‘Volatile Situations’................

Conservatives facing violent riots and protests on college campuses across the country really have themselves to blame, according to the New York Times.

"Without uttering a word to students at the University of California, Berkeley, Ann Coulter on Wednesday made herself the latest cause célèbre in the rapidly escalating effort by conservatives to fight liberals on what was once the left's moral high ground over free speech on campus," the Times‘ Jeremy Peters reported late Wednesday.

Coulter canceled a planned appearance at Berkeley on Thursday after the group that invited her pulled its support amid threats of violence.

"But across the country, conservatives like her are eagerly throwing themselves into volatile situations like the one in Berkeley," Peters continued, "emboldened by a backlash over what many Americans see as excessive political correctness, a president who has gleefully taken up their fight, and liberals they accuse of trying to censor any idea they disagree with."

That’s like blaming a gun for shooting somebody. The New York Slimes is in a death spiral.

Interesting. Did they blame MLK for throwing himself into the fire when he organized marches in the South? Or the Illinois Nazis when they marched through Skokie?

I guess NYT now thinks free speech deserves protection only if it doesn’t offend their bi-coastal readers and snowflakes

Okay, thanks NYT. Thank you so very much.

Now that the New York Times has approved the use of violence to silence one's political opponents, it can now be declared open season on every single communist Democrat journalist, from sea to shining sea.

I suppose rape victims are responsible for their own rapes for being too provocative to their rapists.

Especially if the rapist is a muslim.

How dare these conservatives demand their civil rights? What kind of a country would we live in where anyone can say anything without the approval of the NY Times editorial board?

And the Jews that were gassed to death should have known better than to live in Europe.

I'll bet that by the same logic, they blame women for being raped....Oh that would be sexist so they have different logic for different genders, different political parties, and different races.

Now the NYT makes sense.

Earlier this week, I enjoyed a respiratory infection with a lovely high fever...

Whilst enjoy said fever and reading the news, I had an epiphany; we have crossed the Rubicon. It's all head shots I'm afraid for nothing else will matter since the enemy has so graciously stood up and shouted their presence in number.

Exquisite logic from the NYT. Let’s not forget those GI’s on Omaha Beach. They had no one to blame but themselves for getting pummeled by Germans firing at them from strong fortifications. What were they thinking?

Exactly! Don’t blame the wife beater. It’s her fault for provoking him.

Ahh...the old ‘she was asking for it’ defense. Thought that logic went out in the 70’s

Like blaming a black man for moving into a neighborhood where Democrats in masks might burn a cross in his yard or worse. Antifa doesn’t have the same kind of masks and uniform as the KKK, but its still the same bigoted hatred against the civil rights of others carried out by Democrat thugs, with other Democrat in media running interference for them.

More like blaming a woman for being raped because she wasn't wearing a burka...
