The Left Has One More Argument: Kill Them All!
After a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to commit mass murder last week -- the second homicidal Bernie supporter so far this year -- the media blamed President Trump for lowering the bar on heated political rhetoric by calling his campaign opponents cruel names like "Crooked Hillary" and "Lyin' Ted."
As soon as any conservative responds to Trump's belittling names for his rivals by erupting in murderous rage, that will be a fantastically good point. But until then, it's idiotic. Unlike liberals, conservatives aren't easily incited to violence.
What we're seeing is the following: Prominent liberals repeatedly tell us, with deadly seriousness, that Trump and his supporters are: "Hitler," "fascists," "bigots," "haters," "racists," "terrorists," "criminals" and "white supremacists," which is then followed by liberals physically attacking conservatives.
To talk about "both sides" being guilty of provocative rhetoric is like talking about "both genders" being guilty of rape.

Nearly every op-ed writer at The New York Times has compared Trump to Hitler. (The conservative on the op-ed page merely called him a "proto-fascist.") If Trump is Hitler and his supporters Nazis, then the rational course of action for any civilized person is to kill them.
That's not just a theory, it's the result.
A few months ago, 38-year-old Justin Barkley shot and killed a UPS driver in a Walmart parking lot in Ithaca, New York, then ran over his body, because he thought he was killing Donald Trump. During his arraignment, Barkley told the judge: "I shot and killed Donald Trump purposely, intentionally and very proudly."
In the past year, there have been at least a hundred physical attacks on Trump supporters or presumed Trump supporters. The mainstream media have ignored them all.
Schoolchildren across the country are being hospitalized from beatings for the crime of liking Trump. In Pasco, Oregon, a 29-year-old Trump supporter was stabbed in the throat by a Hispanic man, Alvaro Campos-Hernandez, after a political argument.
Last month, the anti-jihad scholar Robert Spencer was poisoned in Iceland by a Social Justice Warrior pretending to be a fan, sending Spencer to the hospital.
It's become so normal for leftist thugs to assault anyone who likes Trump that, in Meriden, Connecticut, Wilson Echevarria and Anthony Hobdy leapt out of their car and started punching and hitting a man holding a Trump sign, rolling him into traffic right in front of a policeman.
If any one of these bloody attacks had been committed by a Trump supporter against a Muslim, a gay, a Mexican, a woman or a Democrat, the media would have had to drop its Russia conspiracy theory to give us 24-7 coverage of the epidemic of right-wing violence.
The liberal response to this ceaseless mayhem toward conservatives is to produce a single nut, who fired a gun in the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, D.C., last December (hurting no one) to "rescue children," after reading on obscure right-wing blogs that the restaurant hid a Democratic pedophilia ring. (They've also hyped a long list of "hate crimes" that were utter hoaxes.)
Congratulations, liberals! You got one. And some tiny number of girls raped men last year. QED: Both sexes have a rape problem.
Liberal aggression has ratcheted up dramatically since the dawn of Trump, as has the dehumanizing rhetoric, but epic violence from the left is nothing new.
We don't have to go back more than century to note that every presidential assassin and attempted presidential assassin who had a political motive was a leftist, a socialist, a communist or a member of a hippie commune. (Charles J. Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz, Giuseppe Zangara, Lee Harvey Oswald, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme and Sara Jane Moore.)
Instead, we'll start in the 1990s. Al Sharpton's speeches helped inspire people to murder two people in Crown Heights in 1991 and seven people at Freddie's Fashion Mart in 1995. As scary as David Duke and Richard Spencer are, I've never heard of anyone committing murder after listening to one of their speeches.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, among other acts of violence, Obama supporters Maced elderly volunteers in a McCain campaign office in Galax, Virginia. They threw Molotov cocktails at, stomped and shredded McCain signs on a half-dozen families' front yards around Portland. Another Obama supporter broke the McCain sign of a small middle-aged woman in midtown Manhattan, then hit her in the face with the stick.
(All this for John McCain!)
At the Republicans' convention that year, hundreds of liberals were arrested for smashing police cars, slashing tires and breaking store windows. Police seized Molotov cocktails, napalm bombs and assorted firearms from the protesters. Elderly convention-goers were Maced and sent to the hospital after protesters threw bricks through the windows of convention buses. On the first day alone, the cops made 284 arrests, 130 for felonies.
That same year, California voters approved Proposition 8, banning gay marriage. In response, left-wing opponents of the measure ferociously attacked Mormon and Catholic churches, smashing glass doors, spray-painting the churches and burning holy books on their front steps. The mayor of Fresno and his pastor received death threats serious enough to require around-the-clock police protection.
(Although the measure would not have passed without the support of black voters, liberals held black people blameless for their opposition to gay marriage. Mormons and Catholics were a much funner target.)
In 2009, one conservative had his finger bitten off at a Tea Party rally in Thousand Oaks, California, by a man at a MoveOn.org counter-protest. At a St. Louis Tea Party rally, an African-American selling anti-Obama bumper stickers was beaten up by two Service Employees International Union thugs, resulting in charges.
For the past few years, the media have enthusiastically promoted Black Lives Matter, hoping to galvanize the black vote. The mother of Michael Brown was even invited to appear on stage at the Democrats' convention. But, as the British discovered with their Indian auxiliaries during the Revolutionary War, having ginned them up, they couldn't calm them down.
As a result of the media's tall tales about homicidal, racist cops, Black Lives Matter enthusiasts staged sneak attacks, executing two policemen in Brooklyn, five in Dallas and three in Baton Rouge.
Liberals know damn well that their audience includes a not-insignificant portion of foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics, prepared, at the slightest provocation, to smash windows, burn down neighborhoods, physically attack and even murder conservatives. But instead of toning down the rhetoric, the respectable left keeps throwing matches on the bone-dry tinder, and then indignantly asks, "Are you saying conservatives don't do it, too?"
No, actually. We don't. https://m.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2017/06/21/the-left-has-one-more-argument-kill-them-n2344752

The left needs to walk away from its epic violence and return to behaving in a civilized manner when exposed to other ideas and engage in a spirit of comity.
The left has one argument, which is one more than you have.
It's true that one thing we don't engage in is the one thing liberals do anymore, violence accompanied by foul language.
Unlike liberals, conservatives aren't easily incited to violence.
True!
Unlike liberals, conservatives aren't easily incited to violence.
All too true.
There's no need to incite them-- they do it all by themselves!
Those are not in any way conservatives. In fact the nazis are socialists.
They can't handle that sort of fact.
Do you honestly think that the great many Americans who voted for Trump wanted that?
No I don't Buzz, but the fact is that the right wing nationalists, etc are Trump supporters.
Did they support Mc Cain or Romney when they ran.
I never paid much attention to them, nor do I now, so I have no idea and since they are a hate-filled bastard fringe I continue to ignore their rant.
NO
They are an obnoxious tiny lunatic fringe that progressives try to use to attempt to smear and character assassinate every conservative with.
Sounds like your explaining the conservative plan....Perfect XX.
Sounds like your explaining the conservative plan....Perfect XX.
XX could possibly be a genius!
They are an obnoxious tiny lunatic fringe that progressives try to use to attempt to smear and character assassinate every conservative with.
And they have a great friend in the White House named Steve Bannon and his little sidekick Steve Miller.
No I don't Buzz, but the fact is that the right wing nationalists, etc are Trump supporters.
Well, here's what David Duke said on the subject:
David Duke: Trump win a great victory for 'our people'
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is calling Donald Trump's electoral victory "one of the most exciting nights of my life."
Duke, a white nationalist who unsuccessfully ran for Louisiana Senate, tweeted early Wednesday that his supporters played a major part in paving Trump's road to the presidency.
Make no mistake about it, our people have played a HUGE role in electing Trump!" he wrote.
And Adolf Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf".
And Adolf Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf".
Maybe yes, maybe no....
Are you saying Peter Lorre wrote it?
Good for you--you are probably the only one here who recognized the photo...
Actually that quote (done in a Peter Lorre-type voice) is a famous quote from The Firesign Theatre. A very funny (IMO) comedy group that did records in the style of Olde-Timey radio. Not very well known today.
One of the characters they created (I forget his name offhand) was obviously based on Peter Lorre (in I think it was The Maltese Falcon).
About:
The Firesign Theatre was an American comedy troupe comprising Phil Austin , Peter Bergman , David Ossman , and Philip Proctor . Their brand of surrealistic humor is best known through their record albums , which acquired an enthusiastic following in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The troupe began as live radio performers in Los Angeles on radio stations KPPC-FM and KPFK during the mid-1960s
Style
The Firesign Theatre employs a stream of consciousness style that includes direct references to movies, radio, TV, political figures, and other cultural sources, intermingled with sound effects and bits of music. The resulting stories—including the theft of a high school, a fair of clowns and holograms , and aliens who use hemp -smoking to turn people into crows—border on psychedelia , an effect intensified by the frequent appearance of mock " advertisements " satirizing real products.
(Firesign Theatre, cont'd from prev. comment):
The Firesign approach to comedy was strongly influenced by The Goon Show . All four original Firesign members have spoken of their admiration for this show. Said Ossman:
Their album "TV or not TV" was one of the most influential comedy albums of my life. It was incredibly far ahead of it's time!
Dear Friend Krishna: The Peter Lorre voice over was named Rocky Rococo.
It was in The Further Adventures of Nick Danger.
Rococco was the lover of Melanie Haber ( Audrey Farber, Susan Underhill. Oh, I mean Nancy!)
Gotta love Firesign Theater.

One of my very favorite authors, he died this last year, Umberto Eco, answers the question with a beautiful historic fictional flair!
The Prague Cemetery
The Prague Cemetery ( Italian : Il cimitero di Praga ) is the sixth novel by Italian author Umberto Eco . It was first published in October 2010; the English translation by Richard Dixon appeared a year later. Shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2012, it has been described as Eco's best novel since The Name of the Rose . [1]
Contents
[ hide ]Plot summary [ edit ]
The main character is Simone Simonini, a man whom Eco claims he has tried to make into the most cynical and disagreeable character in all the history of literature [2] (and is the only fictional character in the novel). He was born in Turin in 1830. His mother died while he was still a child and his father was killed in 1848 fighting for a united Italy . He is brought up by his grandfather, an old reactionary who houses Jesuit refugees and hates the Jews — he claims that the French Revolution was planned by the Knights Templar , the Bavarian Illuminati and the Jacobins , but behind them all, he says, were the Jews.
Ooops...not huge.
I mean..
YUGE!!!
The secular progressive left is desperate to change the topic from the violence on the left to anything else.
