Dems, in Showing Their Extremism, Do Nation a Favor

David Limbaugh

"In Wednesday evening's Democratic presidential debate circus, the left's favorite darlings turned on one another with a selfish vengeance, which was a positive development for the country and mildly entertaining. The glorious infighting continued among progressive commentators.

"This acrimony, coupled with the public exposure of the left's crazy ideas, surely diminished the party's image among sane voters. The more leftists reveal their inanity and extremism, the better for President Trump and the nation. As one lifelong-Democrat African American caller told Rush Limbaugh the day after the debates, "The Democratic Party is no longer recognizable to me." 

"The consensus was that frontrunner Joe Biden was verbally awkward, tripping over numbers and phrases, and providing confusing instructions to viewers seeking to sign up for text message updates from his campaign. While fellow Democrats gave Biden a pass for his politically incorrect comments during his term as vice president, he got no such slack for his debate faux pas. 

"To be fair, however, you don't have to do much these days to run afoul of progressive thought police. All it took was for Biden to tell Kamala Harris as she was introduced to the stage, "Go easy on me, kid." Biden was obviously referring to Harris' aggressive attacks on him during the previous debate and playfully, even deferentially, asking her to soften her blows." . . .

Far be it from me to defend Joe Biden, but does anyone really believe he intended condescension and sexism there? Yes, I realize the thought police don't care what he meant and are eager to see subconscious slights where none were intended. But give me a break. Biden was just being Colloquial Joe. Period. Even Harris told CNN's Anderson Cooper she wasn't bothered by it.

Why It’s Wrong To Blame Trump For The Mass Shootings

Trump doesn’t have a monopoly on divisive rhetoric. It’s time for the left to reckon with its role in sowing division and racial discord.

Mr. CNN

"From ISIS to El Paso, then, the terrorists in question are driven by a purposeful—obviously evil—ideology. The Islamists feel it’s their duty to fight back against the West. The El Paso and Christchurch shooters feel it’s their duty to fight back against mass immigration and what they view as the “replacement” of their culture.
"Indeed, the El Paso shooter expressed a feeling of invasion and occupation—a feeling usually associated with the anti-immigrant right in America but one not wholly alien to the left. After all, it is on exactly those grounds that Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, among others, justify the Palestinian liberation struggle.
"Blaming Trump for such views is a brittle chain of reasoning because it’s the same reasoning that would blame Islamist terrorism on the Quran. One could argue that Islam isn’t the cause of Islamist terrorism, and that the latter is just a warped and extreme manifestation of certain relatively subdued strains in the latter. The ordinary Muslim understands he is called to worship Allah and keep his commands, even if it sets him apart or imposes obligations on him. In contrast, the Islamist terrorist understands his duty is to impose Islam on others, even if it means slaughtering civilians or other Muslims.
"So too one might say that Trump is not the cause of the shootings, but that the shootings and Trump arise from the same root cause: the feeling among many Americans that their country and its heritage are under attack, and that nobody is fighting back." . . .

Todd Starnes: CNN Used El Paso Massacre to Take Cheap Shots at President Trump
"I watch CNN, a network not prone to decency, so my radio show audience does not have to.
"That was an act of public service I made to listeners of The Todd Starnes Show audience when we launched the program more than two years ago on Fox News Radio.

"There’s no reason for anyone to be unnecessarily exposed to the leftist propaganda spewing from the mouths of Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Anderson Cooper or that stomach-churning morning show."

Trump Hits Back At Media After Accusations Of Inciting Two Mass Shootings

Did the press blame Obama for the horror of Sandy Hook?

Daily Wire  "President Donald Trump hit back against the news media on Monday after he was consistently blamed for causing the pair of mass shootings that occurred over the weekend."  . . . 

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!

"The president’s remarks come on the heels of two recent mass shootings that took place less than one day apart. On Saturday, a gunman opened fire in a Walmart shopping complex in El Paso, Texas, murdering at least 20 individuals and injuring more than two dozen others. A second attacker took the lives of nine people and injured nearly 30 others after he gunned down people in a Dayton, Ohio bar early Sunday morning.

"Democratic lawmakers and the news media have repeatedly accused the president of stoking racism and inciting violence since taking office. Only hours after the first shooting garnered national attention, the left-wing of the aisle began to point fingers at Trump for causing the tragedy." . . .

2020 Dems Rush to Blame Trump for 'White Supremacy' After El Paso Shooting

. . . "While Trump has warned about an "invasion" of illegal immigrants (a defensible comparison given the large volume of recent migrants), the terrorist mass shooter in El Paso seems to have had his own agenda independent from the president's rhetoric.
"The manifesto, which has been confirmed by local authorities, "criticized both Democrats and Republicans and expressed anti-government and anti-corporate views. The author claimed to have developed those beliefs before Trump’s presidency," NBC News reported."


Politicizing Murder with Lies  "Exploiting the deaths of innocents in El Paso and Dayton for political gain."

"The bodies in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton were still in the morgue when the progressive “carrion-picking crows” started politicizing the murders. But everything they said about gun control, “white nationalism,” and Trump’s culpability was based on lies and stale clichés recycled for political gain." . . .

. . . "Finally, the Democrats’ habit of using mass shootings as fodder for their partisan political message is despicable. If they really cared about crimes against “people of color,” they would have long ago been talking about the violence of blacks against black people in the cities they run. It’s shocking moral idiocy that a party continually harping on “racism” ignores the fact that more blacks are murdered in one year than were killed in the whole history of racist violence from Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Act.

"But as Trump pointed out about Baltimore, that would require the black elite to actually do something for their “brothers” and “sisters” trapped in Blue-State plantations. How much easier, and lucrative, it is to rail against “racism” and marginal “white nationalists,” and to exploit a tragedy in order to demonize a president who has done more for black and Latino Americans than Barack Obama ever did." . . .

The El Paso Blame Game  . . . "Then again, too, Mr. Trump’s is not the only language echoed in that demented document. Start with the title — “The Inconvenient Truth About Me.” Whose language is echoed there? We do not, even for a second, blame Al Gore or advocates of the Green New Deal. Yet the manifesto veers from complaining about a “Hispanic invasion” to railing about how our modern lifestyle is destroying the environment." . . .  CNN is referred to in here...naturally.

Trump again speciously blamed for the insanity of others  "It is hardly a surprise that the leftists in the media and among the Democratic presidential candidates would immediately blame President Trump for the two horrific mass shootings that occurred over thirteen hours on Saturday.  It's what they do.  Having no scruples whatsoever, they jump at every opportunity to malign the president, no matter how specious their accusations. " . . . 
. . . "They all know he de-segregated his elite golf club of Palm Beach.  They know he was pals with Don King, Mike Tyson, even the odious Al Sharpton in the old days.  They all know he is not a racist, but they do not care about the truth.  They only care about defeating the man who is showing them up day after day since he was elected by succeeding." . . .

Dayton Shooter Was A Pro-Satan Leftist Who Supported Warren, Sanders, Antifa And Communism  . . . "And while the media was eager to quickly expose the El Paso shooter as a right-wing extremist with the implication that he is merely following Trump's belligerent rhetoric, only few details had emerged about the Dayton, Ohio shooter although we certainly understand why the mainstream media may not have rushed to make these alleged details public - because according to Heavy.com, the Dayton shooter was an Elizabeth Warren (and Bernie Sanders) supporter who advocated for socialism, communism and supported Antifa." . . .

Playing the Blame Game in El Paso and Dayton; "How can we use social media to avoid mass shootings?"
. . . "And despite CNN’s obsession with “angry, young, white males” as violence-prone mass shooters, what about a general decline in the culture and pluralism, and the sanctioned ridicule of religious values? This has been concomitant with the coarsening of language and pervasive disrespect and incivility: even on our most prestigious college campuses, rampant and promiscuous name-calling (“racist,” “sexist”) long predate Donald Trump. The demonization (e.g., “The Deplorables”) was not a consequence but a cause of Trump’s ascendancy." . . .

CNN's  lemon, Mr. Lemon

Hysteria is rampant, not entirely for humanitarian reasons, but also for politics, especially fanned by the partisan demagogues at CNN. In one interview, presidential candidate and usually childish Beto O’Rourke blames El Paso on the “hatred on Fox News.” 

 CNN’s so-called news anchors and reporters recite predictable talking points as well as ask leading questions, preparatory to, for example, the outburst that “Donald Trump is responsible” for the mass shootings, as the once-temperate Cory Booker proclaims, as did O’Rourke, in the endless bidding war among Democrat candidates, for far-left ideologue.

Confused elderly man Joe Biden offers condolences for ‘tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan’

Thomas Lifson  "We all misspeak from time to time. But with the national spotlight on nothing else but the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, you’d think that Joe Biden would know the locations. But speaking yesterday to a group of supporters at a fundraiser, he wasn’t even close. Emily Larsen reports in the Daily Caller:

Former Vice President Joe Biden misstated the locations of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, while speaking to donors at a high-dollar fundraiser in San Diego on Sunday night.

Biden, 76, mistakenly referred to the shootings as “the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before," but later corrected himself, according to a pool report. Biden seemingly confused Houston for El Paso and Michigan for Ohio when speaking to donors about the shootings.

"This confusion suggests something disturbing about the way Biden’s mind works. Texas is an undifferentiated whole, so Houston and El Paso – 746 road miles apart from each other, one a semi-tropical coastal, worldly, mega-metropolis, the other a high desert (3800 feet) hardscrabble-ish border town – are interchangeable. (I’ve sent time in both cities and they are very, very different in almost every respect, geographically, economically, socially, and ethnically.)  Even worse is Biden’s vague sense of the industrial Midwest, moving Dayton, Ohio to Michigan." . . .

National Review

If Trump’s To Blame For El Paso Shooting, Is Warren To Blame For Dayton?

Issues & Insights

"As night follows day, the two horribly tragic mass shootings have Democrats pointing fingers of blame at President Trump. Except one shooter, in addition to being a white supremacist, was also an anti-corporatist environmentalist who backs universal health care, and the other was a leftist supporter of Elizabeth Warren. Trying to pin the blame for these maniacs’ murderous actions on any one person, other than the shooter, is political opportunism at its worst.
"Beto O’Rourke jumped in on Sunday, declaring that Trump was responsible for the shooting in El Paso, Texas, which claimed 20 lives and injured 26 more. O’Rourke declared that Trump “is a racist, and he stokes racism in this country. And it does not just offend our sensibilities, it fundamentally changes the character of this country, and it leads to violence.”

O’Rourke went on to claim that “We’ve had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years during an administration where you have a president who’s called Mexicans rapists and criminals.”
"O’Rourke is hardly the only one blaming Trump. Critics instantly seized on a manifesto allegedly penned by the suspected shooter, in which he complains about the “Hispanic invasion of Texas,” to link the shooting to Trump.
"Princeton professor Eddie Glaude said on “Meet the Press” that “Hispanic invasion” is “almost the exact same language of the president of the United States.”
"But assuming that manifesto — posted on the Drudge Report — is credible, the person who wrote it also happens to share many policy positions with Democrats. He’s mad about the environment, he wants universal health care, he hates big corporations and job-killing automation.
"The manifesto, for example, complains that “our lifestyle is destroying the environment of our country. The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heaing (sic) the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources.” . . .

Leftists Change Shooter Patrick Crusius’s MyLife Page after Saturday Shooting from Democrat to Republican — Page Created After Shooting!  Good work, Gateway Pundit

MyLife is an American information brokerage founded in 2002 as Reunion.com. MyLife gathers personal information through public records and other sources to automatically generate a “MyLife Public Page” for each person, described by MyLife as a “complete Wikipedia-like biography on every American.” At 2:46 PM today MyLife had this profile for the deranged killer Patrick Crusius.His original profile at 2:46 said he was a registered Democrat

Left tries dishonesty in bid to turn El Paso shooter into a Republican
. . . "Neither of these things were true. Both were dishonest manipulations to smear Republicans and their leader. What this shows is the extent to which the left will go to pin anything they can on Trump. The people who did this were extraordinarily dishonest, trying to alter facts in the name of scoring political points. Obviously, they were Alinskyites who never let a crisis go to waste, and like Bill Ayers, they are convinced that the end justifies the means. Facts are malleable. They'll do anything to cast blame to people who had nothing to do with this madman, his ravings, or his evil act." . . .

Another hoax. This picture of guns arranged to say “Trump” is trending, attributed to the El Paso shooter with claims that these were his firearms. A quick reverse image search shows that the shooter did not take this photo. It’s been on Reddit for ages.

Despicable O’Rourke tries to save his failing presidential campaign by blaming President Trump for his hometown tragedy  . . . "I cannot contain my contempt for the fake Hispanic multimillionaire posing as a crusader for the little guy and gal. I hope the grieving families and the injured who even now are struggling for their lives or feeling the pain of gunshot wounds understand that their suffering is being used by an unprincipled politician to grab power." . . .                               The left's big blame game after El Paso: Guns, Trump, white supremacy  "That won't stop the left. Already, they have attempted to paint the killer as a Republican, actually changing the man's registration from Democrat to Republican on some social media site as GatewayPundit reported here."

Race-baiting CNN Claims Robots In Pop Culture Is Evidence of ‘Racism’

Heaven help us! What have we become as a society?

The Lid

Regardless, CNN insisted that robots in reality and popular science fiction are white because of the racism inherent in human society. “The reason for these shades of technological white may be racism, according to new research,” CNN intoned.

"Once again, CNN shows how devoid of facts it really is with a story exclaiming that robots with white exteriors must somehow mean that robot makers are “racist.”CNN was totally serious reporting on a “study” that claimed that white robots are examples of white supremacy. Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots? ” CNN exclaimed in its August 1 news article. Have they ever noticed the popularity of robots of all colors?

"Of course, you know what these dopes would say if robots were made with black exteriors? They would say that it is an example of “enslaving” robots and an example of white people trying to recreate slavery. Because, you know, literally everything is racism to these fools.

"On its tweet, CNN used a photo of a NASA robot manufactured all in white plastics." . . .

Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots? The reason for these shades of technological white may be racism, according to new research. https://t.co/PHJHO91VtA

. . . "The NASA robot pictured is the R5 Valkyrie which the space agency has slated for work on the surface of Mars.

"However, the robot built by NASA is not white because of the racism inherent in its engineers, but because of the scientific requirements for the machine’s tasks, such as heat resistance and the like. The color black absorbs heat and white reflects heat. That’s one of the reasons that golfers generally wear a light color on a hot day." . . .

Lemon

Recall when CNN's Don Lemon asked if that Malaysian passenger jet could have been swallowed up by a "black hole"? Was that racist?  . . . "But when Lemon Twitter-sourced questions about the missing Malaysian Airlines plane again on Wednesday night he went another step beyond Sunday’s “supernatural” event theory: he and his panel discussed the possibility of a “black hole” swallowing the jetliner.

He read out tweets that compared the mystery to “Lost” and “The Twilight Zone” before asking Mary Schiavo, a former U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general, to weigh in on the black hole theory.

“That’s what people are saying,” Lemon said. “I know it’s preposterous — but is it preposterous you think, Mary?”

Weird Lines From CNN’s Democratic Debates That Nobody Is Covering

The Lid

". . . After an 18 hour day of reading, researching, and writing about politics, my brain needed a break. But feeling guilty I’d turn to CNN for a moment or two during commercial breaks for the more entertaining TV program. For some reason, however, during almost every one of those short debate views, I’d hear candidates say something extraordinary or ask a bizarre question, such as the candidate who admitted to being a peeping, Tom.

"Since the two debates ended, some of those strange lines were mentioned by the MSM, but they covered up what the candidates were really saying."

. . . 

"It was astonishing that no one pointed out Elizabeth Warren said something proving she knew little about politics. She said, “I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for. I don’t get it!”  Anybody who’s ever followed politics knows the reason.

"Those candidates she criticized run to make money off of writing a book, to increase their fees for speaking engagements, and secure a contributor gig on MSNBC or CNN." . . .
