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

[Rawley]

Trump grabs a headline twice a day by design. No one has any influence over him. His rhetoric is violent and there's always some crackpots out there. Stop blaming media or democrats. Toning it down is good advice. Trump won't listen to that either.

Your cult leader, last week: “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

 

[Rawley]

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

He was a radicalized leftwinger.

Stalinism does not exist in your country

Yeah?

What do you call railroading innocent people with lawfare?

That sir, is Stalinism. Plain and simple.

Throw your political opponents in jail. Stalinism.

You are completely full of shit. Why even post that garbage? We just had everyone telling Joe Biden to take out Trump because he has immunity. Someone listened. The violent rhetoric comes from the Left almost exclusively.

A Republican gun nut shot your candidate. Clean up your house. Bullseyes are for darts. Crosshairs are for guns. Check out Sara Palin’s ads.

He was a radicalized leftist who followed all the hate rhetoric against this great man. To call Crooks MAGA is beyond absurd. But leftwingers will be believe that stuff.

You cant spin that shit. Excluding shooting the ex-President he was a right wingers dream: Pennsylvania gun loving hunter white nuclear family boy in a conservative voting district registered as a republican and dreamed of being on his High School gun team sporting conservative gun nut youtube channel apparel. He's a PA redneck.

Creating a law to force people off their land-Murica
Breaking 300+ treaties as punishment-Murica
Sanctioning the killing of millions of buffalo, knowing we were dependent on them for food-Murica
Allowing immigration laws to be broken if you were hunting Apache- Murica.

The kid was an unathletic nerd with leftwing social worker parents.

Yup. Your cult excoriated her. Your cult leader spews that violent rhetoric directed at Trump a week before a fellow cultist tries to assassinate him - and you cultists go mute.

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.

Yeah, I don’t get it either.

A registered republican loner tries to kill the republican nominee for President. Not sure how the “both sides” bromide is employed in this instance.

Try to think critically. In order to try to kill Trump, he was obviously influenced by anti-Trump hate speech.

 

[candycorn]

He was a leftwing nutter. We've been over that repeatedly. Please pay attention.

“Leftwing nutters” don’t register as a republican. Please pay attention.

 

[Mashmont]

Sure they do, if they're trying to influence primaries. Happens all the time in the few closed primary states like PA.

But I did predict this in my OP, that soon the leftwing would try to make the impossible claim that "Trump brought it on himself with his rhetoric", and sure enough there would be enough dimwits would would repeat it.

Ahh...the conspiracy theory emerges. We all knew it would.

Not impossible at all. Constant hate and division from the blob likely caused this blow-back. I think the guy was just a lonely youth who shouldn’t have been anywhere near a gun and if it hadn’t been the blob, it would have been someone else.

Speaking of conspiracy theories.

I called it two days ago what you people would do. Nailed it.

that he was a lonely loser who shouldn’t have been near a gun? Yeah...I’ll stand by that one until proven otherwise.

 

[Blaster]

Trump has criticized Biden on policy issues while Biden has attacked Trump and his supporters as a danger to democracy. A big difference.

 

[citygator]

Yup. Your cult excoriated her. Your cult leader spews that violent rhetoric directed at Trump a week before a fellow cultist tries to assassinate him - and you cultists go mute.

Palin used an assassin crosshairs. Not a bullseye. If someone threw darts at Trump we could blame the imagery of a bullseye. Not a gun.
