Numerous media analysts, commentators and “journalists” have been spouting extremist rhetoric ever since Election Night.
Take Jason Johnson, a frequent, high-profile political analyst for MSNBC and CNN. In a stunning rant Wednesday on MSNBC, he urged Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden to not pursue “unity” with Republicans because conservatives are the “enemy.”
“ You cannot come into this White House with the idea these people aren’t the enemy. They are. The people chasing the Biden-Harris bus out of Texas, they are the enemies of democracy. The people right now attacking vote-counters in Detroit, they are the enemy ,” he said.
“ Kyle Rittenhouse is the enemy. Mitch McConnell is the enemy. If there’s one thing the Democrats should have finally figured out in this campaign, you cannot treat the Republican party with kid gloves, because they won’t treat you that way .”
Listen to his radical words below:
Kyle Rittenhouse is a 17-year-old teenager who faces dubious murder charges over fatal shootings that the evidence strongly suggests were committed in self-defense , and Mitch McConnell is an elected member of Congress.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters who followed the Biden bus out of Texas weren’t the ones who committed an illegal, violent act:
And nobody has “attacked” vote-counters in Detroit. Conservatives have merely protested what they believe to be an illegitimate vote-counting process.
The only post-election violence, vandalism and harassment that have emerged, in fact, have been from the far-left, as usual .

Johnson isn’t alone in his extremism. He’s one of a number of high-profile media figures who’ve responded to Tuesday’s election results — which were devastating to Democrats overall, despite a potential Biden victory — by trotting out dangerous, radical rhetoric, particularly rhetoric about race.
Eugene Scott, a “reporter” with The Washington Post, accused black and brown minorities who voted for President Donald Trump of supporting so-called white supremacy.
The Atlantic sports “journalist” Jemele Hill reduced the president’s supporters to “white people,” despite Trump making “unprecedented inroads with black and Hispanic voters,” as the New York Post has put it.
Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times writer responsible for the discredited 1619 Project, essentially said that the term Latinos shouldn’t exist because Hispanics who voted for the president aren’t minorities — they’re white.
One day after this election is over I am going to write a piece about how Latino is a contrived ethnic category that artificially lumps white Cubans with Black Puerto Ricans and Indigenous Guatemalans and helps explains why Latinos support Trump at the second highest rate. — Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) November 4, 2020
Responding to Scott’s tweet about minorities supporting white supremacy, she also essentially suggested that conservative minorities are trans-white.
Andrea L. Pino-Silva, a left-wing activist who’s made repeat appearances on CNN and MSNBC, accused Cubans who voted against Democrats’ Marxist policies of selling out other minorities so they could earn “a guaranteed path to whiteness.”
Arne Duncan, a frequent media contributor who served as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, believes that the country needs to talk more about “whiteness.”
Charles Blow, a columnist for The New York Times, accused everybody who voted for Trump of being racist.
Blow then published a column titled, “Exit Polls Point to the Power of White Patriarchy.”
The examples go on for days, and they all come from either people who work in the media, or people who are routinely tapped by the media to offer their “expertise.”
Looked at together, the evidence strongly suggests that America’s demonstrably left-wing mainstream media have become overrun with extremists and radicals.

We can see how you think "liberals" should behave and what they need to admit to. How are you going to change and what better behavior do you promise?
And I’m not allowed to say that the mainstream media is not objective or fair here. Talk about bias!
[Yes, actually, you are allowed to say that the mainstream media is not objective or fair here.]

In what way do you think these comments contribute to what has been said? Do you think this is some sort of argument refuting what MAGA said?
I promise you nothing. I’m going to be to Biden the next four years what you have been to Trump the last four. Biden is unfit for office. He’s as corrupt as sin and mentally incompetent to hold the office.
looks like trump was unchosen by god this time ...
It sure do look like Jeebus want de Trumpster to lose!
We have not yet exhausted all the options regarding recounting and court challengers at this point. We intend to do that even if it takes as long as Gore contested 2000 to settle the matter however it pans out. We fight on.
And you certainly deliver in your promises!
Yaaawn....
All this drama, all these absurd brouhahas (or are they actually merely just a series of second rate Kerfuffles?) are beginning to get boring.
He may be ready to bring about the final collapse of values and freedom that occurs immediately prior to his 2nd coming. Biden’s win if it happens could ultimately be good news for believers ready to see this world end.
Were you bored by Gore in 2000?
yeah, you say Trump was chosen by God to lead America.
Did God give up?
In a rain of hellfire and brimstone no doubt!
Sounds cool-- very cool indeed.
I wonder if you can get that movie on Netflix?
Well, in any event, He's probably regretting his mistake...big time!
(But afterall everyone makes mistakes from time to time. So we should probably forgive God-- after all, he's only human!)
Good. Then I can consolidate my challenges. Instead of having to challenge/rebut someone with whom I generally agree I can just double down with someone with whom I almost never agree.
A hidden bonus if Trump loses.
Who do you think you are speaking for now? What role do you have in recounts and legal challenges other than being a spectator?
At various times in the past I have said that it is God who establishes powers and authorities. I believe Trump became president because God put him there. That doesn't mean that God approves of Trump as a person. That means if Biden becomes president, I believe it is because God put him there. That doesn't mean that God approves of Biden, either. It may be that, if Biden wins, that Biden is merely a tool, as I believe Trump was, that accomplishes some purpose of God. I can pretty much guarantee that it isn't to further your ideas of what is right or wrong.
Neither Trump or Biden pursue what is right according to God, in my opinion. Although you both stated what you did in a mocking sense, do not assume that, should Biden win, that he somehow has the support of God morally. Considering your remarks about God over time, I doubt you would, but it would be an ignorant mistake to use it as an argument that if Christians believe God establishes all power and authority it must mean God approves what that power and authority does.
If God put them there, then that makes voting useless. It's essentially a Divine Right of Kings scenario.
xtians will be fighting against god's will?
So, basically you plan to whine about for the next 4 years. Got it.
That reasoning (which, to your credit, you have used consistently) renders the notion of God appointing leaders moot. It basically claims that the good or bad from a leader is God's will. My response then is: 'so what?'. There is no information to be gained by this belief. This 'fact' is meaningless except to elevate the leader to an exalted position in the eyes of the people (which, no doubt, was the reason this concept was created by men in the first place).
Logically, this fundamentally lessens the notion of free will. If God appoints the leaders then His choices have a profound impact on free will. He is interfering (as He has done throughout the Bible). He is steering the course of history leaving the people free will only within the parameters he has established. (Just as He set up Adam & Eve to fail and then punished them and all mankind for what He knew they would do.) And this course winds through some pretty nasty acts of leadership. God appointed Hitler and Stalin and Zedong knowing they would then commit mass atrocities. One must break eggs to create an omelet?
Free will is also used as the reason for why God allows bad things to happen to good people. All the evil of the world, the ability of Satan to rule, is deemed to be the result of free will choices by people. This might make sense if God never participated and left all decisions up to mankind. But God is making major choices and is thus NOT engaging in laissez-faire free will. He is pulling strings and setting up walls to direct the grand maze of life. Yet it is the individual free-will choices made by people while navigating this maze that are deemed as the reason for the deaths of innocents from pediatric cancer and other forces well beyond the influence of human beings.
How does one believe this stuff except to toss out all reason and simply blindly accept the words of ancient men as truth?
So when MAGA, et.al. executes his described plan, he will be criticizing God's decision. God's choice of Biden was meant for the greater good (so the story goes) and the critics will be tossing poo at one of the major decisions God has historically made. Seems to me, those who believe God chooses the leaders should logically accept the actions of the leaders under the notion that 'God works in mysterious ways'. After all, who are they to criticize the decisions of God?
Pretzel logic?
Generally well stated. Whatever ultimately happens, God set in motion to achieve His will for this world at this point in time to lead ultimately to the end of our age and a whole new world for some.
I intend to do to Biden and his supporters the next four years exactly what democrats and their followers did to Trump the last four years. Nothing more nothing less.
i understand where you are coming from, but it seems quite unproductive to me and will change nothing, so why put yourself through the hassle?
That seems rather petty and vindictive to me. But Won't your God get angry at you for that? After all, your God selected Biden, right?
I may reconsider later. We shall see. I won’t put myself through any hassles. I didn’t sell almost all my holdings in the financial markets because of the other results of the election so far and won’t as long as there is divided government at the congressional level.
We shall see after all the court cases and vote recounts are resolved. If Biden is selected then we will have to live with that and pray that his VP never becomes President.
While the election is not decided yet, it's not looking good for Trump.
... god's will be done.
But what about prayer?
I haven't heard everything that has been said in the last day or two. However, I have heard Biden say things like the other side is not the enemy, everyone should be patient during this process, and he intends to govern for all Americans. I support that kind of talk. I hope it continues.
Sounds nice, but that's about it. There isn't a way to unite such drastically different sides. The only practical hope is to go for compromise. Right now the problem is that it's all or nothing, mostly from the left. If this election tells us anything, it's that we are actually pretty evenly divided. That's why I hate politicians saying things like "the American people want or believe (something)". Nope. What they are calling the "American people" are the one's who support the views of the politician making the statement. The rest don't count.
As long as the GOP controls the senate there will be compromise unless Nancy Pelosi continues to believe that nothing being done at all is preferable to splitting differences.
Talk is cheap. Wait to see what his actions are. If the current crop of Democratic Mayors, Governors, and Congress critters are any example- then get ready for a true fascist rule.
That says it all right there. Sad but true.
He will keep it up until the Georgia runoffs and then hope to cram through filibuster change, court packing, green new deal, socialized medicine, and a national lockdown on a series of 51-50 votes.
