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

[scruffy]

The Democrat Party needs to tame the radical leftist element within their party.

It's the opposite. They need to get rid of their leadership. The current Democrat leadership is full of psychopaths. As long as they're around nothing will change.

Stalinism will not be tolerated in this country.

Period.

End of story.

Stalinism does not exist in your country

The more their policies suck the worse their campaign tactics become.

If they can't trick us, they murder us.

In other words:

They're desperate.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Before they said it was the right who needed to tone down their rhetoric and only the right and now they're acknowledging that BOTH sides need to tone it down.

Which is still bullshit.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

The Democrat Party needs to tame the radical leftist element within their party.

That was true 10 years ago maybe.

Now?

The Democrat Party is the radical leftist element within our society.

 

[MagicMike]

Yes......the left needs to stop calling Trump Hitler....and we need to stop pointing out that they're comparing Trump to Hitler.

But the comparison is accurate.

 

[MagicMike]

I made a similar thread. Before they said it was the right who needed to tone down their rhetoric and only the right and now they're acknowledging that BOTH sides need to tone it down.

Trump's handlers put out a memo last night instructing RNC speeches to be toned down and focus more on "unity" rather than division and grievance.

I see what you're saying. You're saying Democrats haven't done that.

Not at all.
I am saying it IS possible to talk some sense into Republicans.
You just gotta shoot em first.

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

But the comparison is accurate.

Not even close. You're policies are so bad that you have to resort to stupid comparisons.
Typical fascist tactic used throughout history.

You need a demon to distract the stupid people in your cult from the truth.

 

[Independent thinker]

Not at all.

You just gotta shoot em first.

So, you're recommending the shooting of Republicans. Why am I not surprised?

It was a hypothetical you dumb-shit.

He was shot by a right wing gun nut. How is the left responsible for that? Clean up the right wing gun nut culture.

You can't take it back. You said it.

Wjo said I want to take it back? This revolution can be bloodless, if the right allows it.

Nope.

I read history books.
