Evidently the attacks against these Jewish journalists are A-ok by you, Tim.
So very predictable, AND comical of you Tibs.
First, being ok with anti-Semitic attacks I am not. I live in a very, very Jewish area and I'm proud to call many Jews my friends. My youngest son is 13, and attended his - like - fourteenth bar-mitzvah yesterday alone. These families, we know them
well. I've worked for two Israeli companies and professionally am well connected. Enough background (it won't matter, you'll still hurl insults).
Here's what I am 'ok' with. Pointing out the double standard.
I hearken back to the days of W. The insults, the names, the death threats that were hurled incessantly were revolting and scary. He was called Hitler, and at times worse, directly by the Liberal media - over and over. Now, some of these same journalists that tried to drive daggers into the hearts of Bush, Romney, McCain, Carson, and anyone else with an R after their name (stopping at saying literally nothing, no matter how vile or hurtful) have their panties in a knot because they are now receiving similar treatment in backlash???
I say touché. I would never go the anti-Semite route, but what do these journalists think will happen? When they, themselves, set the standard for hurling vile insults, do they not expect it to come back in return?
Jerrold Nadler (Congressman, Jewish), Dave Lindorff (Salon - wrote an article titled “Bush and Hitler: The Strategy of Fear"), Paul Krugman (Jewish, - NY Times), Michael Moore, and a
THOUSAND others compared Bush to Hitler in pictures, writing and in MOVIES. That is just ONE example. We could go on with the insults Whoopie and Rosie and Oprah have thrown, the vile and unfair hit pieces by NBC and MSNBC, and so on. It could fill the Library of Congress.
Now, Trump is surging, and these journalists are surprised they are receiving backlash? LOL. It is comical to me that you, now, take issue with this but were complicit in the prior attacks.
I don't condone the methods. It shouldn't be personal. But don't forget - THEY made it personal long ago.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
A good friend of mine, who not long ago ran for Congress and lost in a close race, shared these thoughts yesterday regarding the latest hit piece from CBS - an article that once again tries to portray Trump Supporters as violent, ignorant, racist bigots inciting violence. His words were brief regarding the CBS article:
"Trump protesters turn violent? The protesters were waving Mexican flags, burning American flags, spewing vulgarities, yet it's The Trump protesters? The nexus of the agitators and the complicit media is what is giving rise to Trumpism, and scenes like this with reports like this only cause it to rise higher and higher."
Trump IS the result of the Liberal media calling Bush Hitler. He is a result of the double standards. He is a result of the bias and incorrect articles that appear that people see through. He is a result of these obvious attacks. He is a result of posts, like yours above, that conveniently and intentionally overlook and forgive the racist, vile posts about Repbulicans and Conservatives by your Liberal media, while then having the audacity to complain if similar insults come in your direction. The longer you and the media attack conservatives for a sin begun by your side, perpetuated by your side, made habit by your side, the more it fuels Trumpism.
