    Media and fake news have been normalizing violence and hatred against the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump. Some people bought their crap and now Republicans are targeted and shot.

    We've seen it time and time again. Snoop dog. Cathy Griffin. Cesar play funded by CNN patent company. Trump depicted being killed. And we hear it all the time in the fake news. Of how Trump is a traitor who colluded with Russia and stole the election. Fake news which they haven't apologized for yet.

    And now crazies who bought their crap are going after the traitor who colluded with Russia and his whole party.

    What's more is that we know where it will go next. Instead of blaming their narrative which incited this type of violence, they will blame guns

    Its the Democratic Socialist, Bernie Sanders supporter who pulled the trigger, fault. And the fault of the left that condones violence in order to "Resist"

    For months the Democrats and sub groups associated with them have been "resisting" with violent messages of assassination and rioting. I hope the Republicans hammer on the left hard for this and Fox News helps. I have little belief that the MSN will stay on this story long. By Friday they will stop talking about.......that's my bet.

    Is it true that a wounded congressman is an ardent supporter of Trump?

    The shooter was kind of old to be a shooter. Makes me wonder if he was recently diagnosed with something fatal and wanted to go out in what he considered a blaze of glory.

    Hillary began the "resist" movement. Why blame Sanders for something the sore loser started? This isn't over by a long shot. Progressive Marxists are still looking for the Lee Harvey Oswald in their midst to go for Trump.

    Just another Progressive Democrat off their meds....The intensity of the Left is out of control.
    Obama said, "Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others". Really?
    Permitting ‘#Antifa’ Nazi's to terrorize people in the streets without being charged with assault or riot and this is the outcome.
    #Antifa have long been on record calling President Bush, conservatives and police ‘Fascists’.
    These Fascist/Marxists have no moral or intellectual superiority or honesty. They brand the political opposition as fair targets for violence. In a word they are terrorists bought and paid for by the Progressive Fascist Marxists.

    He was a Bernie Sanders supporter and asked if the players were Republican before he started shooting.

    I didn't. I blamed the Left. I merely identified the shooter as a Bernie supporter. I didn't blame Bernie for anything.

    In otherwords you're saying that there's something about Burnie's message that attracts craziness?

    Anyone surprised that the raw hatred and lack of moral standards on the left is leading the average drone to violence?

    None of this is new. The left is a cesspool of hate looking for any excuse to commit violence. That is why it's so dangerous to egg them on; they were one step from doing this anyway.

    Nope, you can actually READ exactly what I said. And I blame left with their photos of severed Trump heads, theatrical presentations of Trump assassinations and their willingness to resort to violence against those who oppose their views.

    Well this makes sense then, for the Medicrat party to engage in violence to boost their ratings.

    I have a a coupla questions:

    Does liberal K Griffin "get it" now? Does liberal Keith Olbermann, who has called Trump a "mother f-ing traitor" in writing, as did the shooter? Actually I don't think the shooter's claim was as bad as Olbermann's.

    http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/16/keith-olbermann-melts-down-on-twitter-resign-you-mother-traitor/

    Does anyone share my concern that some in the media will claim that this is ultimately Trump's and the Republicans' fault because their policies are driving people to do extreme things?

    With all the brainwashed zombies walking around, it's probably not safe for a lot of people including Trump supporters, Syrians and Russians. Propaganda sheets such as the NYTimes and Washpo as well as networks like CNN and NBC have lost a lot of their support, but no doubt they're being covered by George Soros and his partner in crime the CIA.

    Radicalized Democrats are quickly becoming as big of a security threat as radicalized Muslims. Lucky for us, there aren't very many Democrats left!

    OK, genius, so you're going to blame the Democrats and Bernie Sanders for these shootings. Are you then going to blame Trump for the killing of the Indian engineer in Olathe, KS. Early, on the day of the shooting, Trump tweeted, "Wake up America", in relation to an Islamic incident in France. Later that same day, the ex-Navy man, pulled the trigger on 3 people, yelling, "Get out of Country".

    This is a much more direct tie to the gun violence, than the Sanders connection to this shooting.

    First I may have put it down a little wrong. The true adage is If it bleeds, it Leads".

    "News programming uses a hierarchy if it bleeds, it leads persuade the viewer that the solution for reducing the identified fear will be in the news story optimism with fatalistic thinking. News conglomerates who want to achieve this use media logic, by tweaking the rhythm, grammar, and presentation format of news stories to elicit the greatest impact. Did you know that some news stations work with consultants who offer fear-based topics that are pre-scripted, outlined with point-of-view shots, and have experts at-the-ready? This practice is known as stunting or just-add-water reporting anxiety in the viewer".

    Quite a few people have been suggesting that we may be headed for a second civil war in this country.

    Personally, I would prefer to avoid such talk, as any such development would be utterly devastating--to put it mildly.

    But I do have to wonder if these were just the opening shots fired in such a war.

    (Obviously, the shooter was unhinged; nonetheless, it is an open question, I think, as to whether others may follow his lead--and justify it with the platitude, "The end justifies the means.")
