    THEY LIKE AND FOSTER VIOLENCE FROM THE LEFT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THUS. John Lucas: The New York Times’ Tolerance of Calls for Civil War and Political Murder. “The New York Times would have us believe that it has always opposed violent political rhetoric. It is a sham, a lie.”

    The exhortation to political murder

    'In “New York Times Columnist Promotes Political Murder,” published just three days before the attempted assassination of President Trump, I pointed out that a regular Times columnist, John McWhorter, had called for the murder of President Trump. And when questioned about it by Glenn Loury, McWhorter’s remorse was limited — He emphasized that his regret was only that he said it in “a public space.” And he promised, “I’m gonna say it again.”'

    'Since the July 13 attempt on President Trump’s life, the murder of Corey Comperatore, and the critical wounding of David Dutch and James Copenhaver, I have questioned whether we would see any apology from McWhorter or even any acknowledgment by the Times of its columnist’s calls for political murder.'

    'You may not be surprised to learn that the answers are “No” and “No.”'

    The Times Knew.

    'I was not the only one who noticed McWhorter’s call for murder. In addition to Glenn Loury, multiple other outlets and sites picked up the story. Examples are
    here (“TDS Suffering New York Times Columnist: ‘I Wish Somebody Would KILL Trump’”),
    here (“N.Y. Times Columnist Wants Trump Dead — Seriously”), and
    here (“NYT Reporter Cuts to the Chase: I Wish Somebody Would Kill Trump”).
    There is no chance that the Times did not know about its columnist’s hateful and inflammatory statements.'

    It feeds the rage machine, which some will predictability go too far with, and which feeds Trump's own support and makes him look more reasonable than he is. Trump is good at such baiting. It gains him a lot of support.

    I often think what matters more is what the person does.

    FJB and the neocons have

    Annoyed our most important allies

    Got the National Debt up to 34.9 trillion dollars

    Stoked up a conflict with a major nuclear power,

    Russia is also winning with conventional weapons,
    so how's that going to go down at the next military
    weapons show? A Patriot Missile system is gigantically
    expensive, and sort of works.

    The stone FJB started rolling could turn into an
    avalanche, unless Trump does some amazing things,
    or even if Trump does some amazing things.
