Leftwing Media: "Both sides need to tone down the rhetoric". Huh?

[Missourian]

I also don’t believe vengeance will solve anything. I look around this forum and posts claiming that this guy who took a shot at Trump warrants the elimination of Liberal Democrats. My people already went through this.

Try looking at it from the other side.

What would the left be saying if someone took a shot at Obama or AOC.

What would the Media be saying?

If in your honest opinion it would not be how they are reacting to this... then ask yourself why.

We are already disjointed.

The die is cast.

In my opinion, what comes next is as inevitable as the sunrise.

Yes, beginning with Mashmont, we must tone it down.

Clown.

Prepare to to visit the most wealthy MAGAs in your area when the lights go out.

That's actually a great ldea.

Leftwing media: “Both sides need to tone down rhetoric”

I heard this blather on CNN this morning on Kasie Hunt’s show. Every one of her guests called for everyone to tone it down. “Both sides are to blame” is a common meme after the leftwing commits an egregious act of violence. Hunt, who is obnoxiously partisan, pointed to the mythical January 6 as an event where the “other side” did an equivalent violent act. The vast majority of hate rhetoric has come from the left. How many thousands of times has Trump been slammed personally and politically by the left. "Existential threat to Democracy" "Hitler clone" yada yada.

Even Trump faced criticism for his comments AFTER he was wounded. CBS said he should have “lowered the temperature”. This is unbelievable

CBS anchor chides Trump statement after assassination attempt: 'No call for lowering the temperature'.

Had this happened to Biden, you know damn well the media would have fully blamed Trump and “right-wing rhetoric”, as they did after the 2011 Gabby Giffords shooting. That was Sarah Palin’s fault for using the word ‘targeting’ when talking about Congressional seats to be focused on. Conservative talk radio was blamed as well. Giffords’ shooter, Jared Loughner turned out to be a leftwing nut whose favorite book was the Communist Manifesto. He was hardly influenced by Rush Limbaugh. But no matter.

Gabrielle Giffords shooting reignites row over rightwing rhetoric in US

So here’s my prediction: Right now the media is saying “both sides”, but soon that will morph into “Trump brought this on himself” and “The chickens are coming home to roost”. And make no mistake this “incident” as early headlines called i

t will be downplayed. “Assassination attempt” will not be used.

I don’t and never would live in a city. Cities are ugly. I prefer the beauty of nature. Cities are what the white men created.

I really don’t see much hope for your country.

Progressive Democrats
They warrant their elimination.

Why don't you just hand him a fork and seat him next to an electrical outlet.

The outcome is the same, and he doesn't have to travel.

I don't mind if he travels

When it comes to the media or “the left” I have little interest. I prefer taking an outsiders (which is what we always have been) point of view.
I’ll be the first to admit that I fuck with you guys a lot when it comes to Trump but the real me feels like things are way out of hand. My dislike of Trump came decades before he became president. In my culture character matters a great deal. You can’t expect someone who says the things that he says not to have enemies. Of those enemies there are going to be some who are unhinged and want to kill him. That does not mean that all Democrats are evil.
On the other hand this was predicted by my ancestors a long time ago. They said one day you would not be able to control what you have created. That day has come. Never thought I’d be alive to see it.

Many of you Trumpers have always wet yourselves over the idea of civil war. Trumpist threads are all over this board on the subject and predate this assasination attempt. Always looking for that spark that will ignite violence. Most people are calling for calm while you and many like you spike up the rhetoric of retribution and violence. The sad fact is this is not a surprise.

Would you prefer I like to you?

Or would you rather have my honest opinion.

I appreciate the honesty as misguided as it is. I can't comprehend why anyone would ever call for or be in favor of violence or civil war. It solves nothing and will only end in misery. If there is a revolution in this country, let it be via the ballot box.

 

[Missourian]

That does not mean that all Democrats are evil.

I used to vote for Democrats.

Hell... Trump was a Democrat.

Democrats used to be sane.

They still are for the most part where I live...the 10 or 12 that still belong to the Democrat Party out of habit.

That's why you're not going to see a civil war.

Honestly...it all comes down to what happens next.

Let's say Donald Trump wins the election.

What will Democrats do?

If it's peaceful protest...more power to them.

If it's violence...well...we'll burn burn that bridge when we get to it.

I'm telling you what I see.

I am predicting the future if this country continues on your prescribed path.

Hell...your party just lied to you to you face for the entire primary season.

Because they don't even trust you to make a choice of candidate for the Democrat Party.

You think it was an accident that we had the earliest presidential debates in American history...before the candidates were even officially nominated?

Do you think it's coincidence that the media suddenly turned on Biden and demanded he step aside?

Do you believe it's happenstance that the Democrats have Superdelegates to keep the rank and file voting delegates in check to control the path of the Party in the event of a contested convention?

Do you think it's karmic intervention that the last Contested Democrat Convention where the sitting President stepped aside was ALSO in Chicago in 1968...and that rioters affected the outcome of the convention?

Then you need rewire your head to your ass and snap out of whatever comalike condition the critical thinking part of your brain is submerged in.

I think the real question is how many Democrats, how many Republicans, how many libertarians and so forth have been gotten to by foreign influence in the form of Chinese money, in the form of Soros money, in the form of North Korean money and so on. I believe that the main body of each of these groups are good honest Americans but I also believe that the fringe elements of all of them are what have kept Americans divided and at each other's throats for the past 9 years at least.

Missourian, you are a creepy non-patriot poseur. You are not the type to stand up. Good for you.

You'd have to leave Mom's basement, John.

We all know who has the stones and who doesn't.

You, John are doubly unfortunate.

No stones and no brains.

Stay in your basement, in your onesie and try not to shit your pants.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

No. Trump's rhetoric is and always has been in response to the violent rhetoric of the left and the media.

The media needs to muzzle their hatred and tone it down. If they do so, the rest of the country will follow.

They own 100 percent of the hatred leading up to this assassination attempt.

Yep, just like they manufactured the "chaos" of Trump's first administration.

Reality was a humming economy, secure border and peaceful world.

But if you turned on CNN you'd think a Russian spy was in the White House and the Republic was at stake.

They are sick and evil.

Just like some of the Leftists on this message board today literally gloating about the fact our former president nearly met his demise last night.

They have no souls.

 

[mudwhistle]

Dems got what they wanted, they can barely contain their glee.

No....they wanted Trump dead so the cadaver could stay in office.
