Hypocritical Democrats And Liberals In Media Have A Selective Memory On Civility In Politics
By Aleister
Jul 21st, 2016
Amid the cries of “Lock Her Up!” at the Republican convention this week, Democrats and liberal media types have been pushing a narrative that paints Republicans as mean and uncivil.
Writing at The Atlantic this week, Ron Fournier opines:
[]The Republican Convention Is Focused on Making Hillary Clinton Look Incompetent and Dishonest - The Atlantic
“Why the Republican Convention Is So Mean
“Lock her up! Lock her up!” Chris Christie nodded his approval as Republican delegates demanded the jailing of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. If the protest was impromptu, it was no accident: The prosecutor-turned-governor of New Jersey had called his Tuesday night speech an “indictment,” ending each section with a leading question: “Guilty or not guilty?”
The delegates—some of whom carried signs and wearing shirts saying “Hillary for Prison”—shouted a full-throated “GUILTY!”
This is an unusually negative convention—a low-blow infomercial focused far more on why Americans should vote against Clinton than why they should vote for Donald Trump. On Tuesday alone, 13 of the 19 speakers delivered addresses that largely assailed Clinton. Her record. Her character. Her scandals. Or, as one delegate scrawled in red ink across an unflattering photo of Clinton, “Her Unworthiness.”

To his credit, Fournier suspects the Democratic convention will also be negative but he’s not alone in noting the supposedly negative tone of the GOP convention. Turn on CNN or MSNBC and you’ll hear a flurry of concern trolling from supposedly objective journalists lamenting the anger on the floor.

Andrew Breitbart said it best. This is war.... Really.... If it weren't for double standards, Liberals would have no standards at all. It looks like the Progressive Socialist left is deathly afraid of Trump. They want him to play nice, while they pummel him. Trump won't do that. He'll go right on the attack. The left could cower Republicans in the past by threatening to call them a bigoted racist, using their media propagandists to do it. Trump will slap them back, they know that, and don't know how to handle him. Trump knows they're going to call him all kinds of names, regardless of what he says or doesn't say. Might as well go on the offensive.
