The Totalitarian Leftist Tactics against the Right

THE FIRST? You didn't hear Governor Terry McAuliffe yesterday blame this on a lack of gun control? You didn't notice the mainstream news media yesterday trying to downplay and hide the fact that this guy worked for Bernie Sanders? Like most liberals, you don't get around much when getting your news, do you?Do you think that if a Trump supporter had targeted Democrat congressmen in a shooting spree that there would have been nothing but kumbaya from the mainstream news media?

Obama: 'If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun' - WSJObama of course, gets a free pass for that, it won't be mentioned at all. Would a Republican get the same free pass if the situation were reversed?

You saw supportive compassion from Democrats when Ms. Gifford was shot? I saw a lot of fingers pointed at Sarah Palin, but not much compassion.FLASHBACK: Sanders' Fundraising Email Falsely Accuses Palin of Inciting 2011 Shooting - SARAH PALINSanders got plenty of time on ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR last night to "condemn the latest shooting in the strongest possible terms", but I don't remember ABC giving Palin the same privilege back in 2011.A lot of people today are calling attention to the fact that political polarization in this day and time is more intense than it's ever been in the past, and of course the question "why" is now a pretty hot topic. Though morals are declining, population is increasing etc. I don't think there's much difference in people's temperaments today than there was 40 or 50 years ago. Two-way conflicts are human nature, it's obvious because of the tremendous interest there has always been in spectator sports.The difference in today versus 40 or 50 years ago is communication technology Today's news reporting and political observation and commentary is saturated with money, largely unheard of before the internet and cable television. News reporters long ago learned that sensationalism sold far better than boring, factual news reporting. Their bias started becoming clear during the Reagan years, and in the late 80's and early 90's, a guy named Rush Limbaugh found himself in exactly the right place at the right time. The rest is history - no one can factually claim that he, or any other right wing commentator, stirs up more or less nut cases to commit violence than Rachel Maddow or any other left wing commentator.The left is off-balance right now, they couldn't imagine someone who owns and apparently takes an interest in guns to so passionately support the party that seeks to take his freedom to own a gun. I can't understand it either, but it's clear that it happens. The only explanation is that those on the left, for reasons of jealousy or whatever, seek to see others freedoms be destroyed, and fully expect to keep their own. I can only conclude that they take their own freedoms for granted, and are short-sighted largely because of their lack of a knowledge of world history.So the beat goes on, Bernie Sanders blames Sarah Palin for the Giffords shooting, and claims perfect innocence for himself for this recent shooting. Nothing's going to change, and this recent shooting will be quickly forgotten. The news media knows that no matter what they do, their already falling credibility with the general public is going down a few more notches, and the best thing they can do is downplay this and move on. ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR was very interested in Bill Cosby and many other news stories this evening, rather than harp too much on this guys love for Rachel Maddow for instance.

They have no choice but to report most of the basic truths, because they know those truths are going to be all over the internet and conservative news and commentary. But it will be abbreviated much more than it would if the situation were reversed.They have a brand new problem, their former accusations of gun violence coming only from conservative inspiration just got completely destroyed. NoNukes is probably wondering if I'm happy about it, all I can say is no more happy than Bernie Sanders and other gun control people were when Ms. Giffords was shot.
