It's Who They Are

Media talking heads have frequently expressed concern (see here for example) that President Trump's characterizations of the news media will somehow lead to violence against journalists.

Yet, although there've been no reported acts of violence against journalists by Trump supporters, there have been plenty of despicable acts of physical and verbal violence by leftists, both in and out of the media, against Trump and those who support him.

Breitbart documents 538 acts of vandalism, threats, physical and verbal assaults, "jokes" about killing either Trump or his supporters, and other forms of dehumanization of either the president or his supporters since September of 2015.

Here are just a few of the more recent examples of behavior which, had the victims been associated with Clinton or Obama and the perpetrators been conservatives or "right-wingers", would have set off a media firestorm that would've raged for months, as it did in the case of the tragic death of the woman struck by a car driven by an alt-right demonstrator in Charlottesville.

Where, though, has the outrage, condemnation or even criticism in the liberal media been when any of the following occurred?:

1. July 25, 2018: Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star destroyed … again.

The list at the link extends back to 2015 and includes over 500 such incidents with links to the original reports. The record is as shameful as it is long, but this is who the modern left is. They're people consumed by hate and easily provoked to violence, either rhetorical or actual.

One wonders why otherwise fine people who identify as liberals aren't more vocal in condemning this gross incivility, and even barbarism, among their political allies.
