I just have a simple
question: With American kids enacting mock assassinations of President Donald
Trump in school, “entertainers” like Kathy Griffin holding a decapitated “head”
depicting Trump, Snoop Dog shooting Trump in the head in a video, Robert De Niro saying
he wants to punch Trump in the face, Madonna saying she has thoughts of blowing
up the White House, the New York City Shakespeare in the Park production of
Julius Caesar showing a vicious stabbing of Trump, complete
with a grieving “Melania Trump” at his dying side, Marilyn Manson depicting the
killing of Trump in a video, and on and on…I am just wondering: do you think this disgusting,
deadly, violent mindset of the Left helped motivate the real-life attempt
to murder Republicans yesterday in Virginia as they practiced for a charity baseball game?
The shooter was careful to
identify his victims as the “Republican baseball team”. He has in the recent
past made public comments about hating and wanting to kill Republicans, and while
Democrats try to portray Republicans as wanting to kill people because they
want to repeal the brutal Obamacare, actual Republicans are being targeted in
lethal ways. Of course no amount of rhetoric can be blamed exclusively for someone's actions, but to what extent is the unprecedented hatred we are seeing toward President Trump and Republicans in general creating an atmosphere of anything goes?
I don’t see any conservatives
calling for the death of liberals as a form of so-called entertainment, or celebrating when someone makes an attempt on their lives, do you? Did you ever see or hear this kind of behavior directed at Barack Obama in such a public, constant, vicious way? And what are the haters on the Left saying about
the incident today? They're celebrating it, for starters. Vicious posts on Twitter and other venues express downright glee that it was Republicans who got shot, or remorse that more Republicans weren't shot. And of course, the Left can't resist taking a page right out of Obama's playbook and calling the crime nothing more than another example of the need
for more gun control.
So let’s get this straight. The Left’s diabolical
rhetoric toward Trump and Republicans in general is nothing less than the potential inciting of violence, yet their only response is to celebrate the attempted murder of Republicans and then recommend taking away our means to protect
ourselves from the violence they encourage with their own words and actions.
Once again, the Left shows its true colors.
Once again, the Left shows its true colors.

ReplyDeleteAnd just to point out that it's not just Obama, Gabby Giffords: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabrielle_Giffords
And by the way, none of the liberals I know are celebrating this tragic incident. I've only heard people chastising the use of violence and sympathy for the people injured.
Thank you for your response, Anonymous, but I'm afraid my point is being missed. There have always been threats against public officials - hence why people like the President have constant Secret Service protection, even after they leave office. I also am not saying that no Democrat has ever been the target of violence, of course. I am talking about making a sport of assassination talk by mocking, ridiculing and acting out in public forums as if no respect is deserved simply because someone’s political views are different than the one holding office. And if you take a moment to research the ugly, disrespectful talk following the attack in Alexandria, you will see what I mean. It's disgusting. I never saw Barack Obama or Gabby Giffords made the subject of constant disrespect, ridicule and mock assassination in public forums as a supposed form of entertainment. And after Ms. Gifford's terrible tragedy, I didn't see an onslaught of mocking comments against her or other Democrats depicting a desire to see more of them hurt. I heard only of people praying for her from both sides of the political aisle. How the Left responded to Wednesday's shooting reveals something very, very ugly and it needs to stop - and anyone spewing forth this kind of hatred needs to change, regardless of what someone's politics are. And I think it's a valid question as to whether all the astounding disrespect we are seeing toward our President isn't somehow desensitizing some in terms of carrying out the real thing, whether toward him or others. The indecency really does need to stop overall. Thanks again for reading my blog and for your comments. I wish you a happy, blessed day!
