MSNBC's Cross: 'It's a War, and Everybody Needs to Pick Up a Weapon'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2022 3:58:21 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Liberals love to accuse conservatives of provoking violence with their rhetoric.

But on her MSNBC show on Saturday morning, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross not only described current political disagreements as a "war," but she exhorted her fellow liberals: "everybody needs to pick up a weapon and get involved."

"Pick up a weapon and get involved?" Imagine if a conservative politician or pundit had said that! There would be immediate calls for the offender to resign or be fired, and perhaps to be prosecuted on charges of inciting violence. Donald Trump was impeached over the January 6 riot without ever having said anything that explicit.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

What would happen to a conservative who called on fellow conservatives to “pick up a weapon and get involved?”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

In 2016, Hillary had a Spanish language ad with English subtitles that said people need to “pick up the sword and fight!”

I posted it here and wrote a few emails to the Trump campaign, but nobody cared.

For a liberal “ to pick up a weapon “, would cause a few of them to recoil, assume the fetal position, and cry for a parent. I admit, by what I have seen, that some liberals have had military experience- hateful as that was to them - but will also recall what they saw afield, and say no.
All the me-lennials would rush to watch their antifaweb videos, think they got it, go to where they might vo to purchase a fierarm, and .... behold, theNICS form question that used to say “have you ever ....”, which makes them freeze in fear. “Do I tell the truth, or do I lie?”

And, yes, there will be some going through grandad’s war chest, and wondering, “ how the heck does this thi g work?”

She wants someone else to pick up a weapon and kill political opponents.

She would not.

She is an elitist who has never gotten her hands dirty in her life.

Many will run around with pointed fingers going "pew, pew, pew" and then be out raged when you fail to cooperate by dropping dead.

We know you read here, FBI intelligence gatherers. We KNOW you read this. There is a clear link to these women inciting violence. Do something about it.

She’s a racist big time....just a little look at her history and she’s all about race-baiting.

You are ready, but, increasingly, so are they.

A lot of extreme Leftists have been buying guns and getting training.

Don’t you think posting this broad and her crap, who is a race baiter, just gives her the attention she desires?

For the vast majority of liberals state a fact and they’ll fall apart.

I take your point, but our mission at NewsBusters [governs=Finkelstein] is in part to expose liberal media bias. We believe it’s worthwhile to stay informed about what the other side is up to.

Be careful what you wish for.

People have been picking up weapons in America’s cities and using them to terrorize law-abiding citizens.

The narrative that the poor and downtrodden have a “right” to take what they want and abuse whomever they target is where anarchy begins.

These are the words of a reckless lunatic who has no idea what she would unleash if people took her up on it.

This kind of talk could unleash violence on a scale nobody could stop.

Somebody just shot a McDonald’s employee over the unacceptable condition of the fries they were given.
