The liberal media is    dying to blame it all on Donald Trump, but it should look in    the mirror.  <\/p>\n<p>    To begin with, the liberal media is almost entirely responsible    for growing the Alt-Right merger of hate groups and internet    trolls. Most people are well aware of the stifling political    correctness that reached an apex under Barack Obama. People are    sick and tired of being attacked and scolded by the humorless    left-wing thought police every time they stray from the latest    liberal doctrine. That created a large group of people who    enjoyed tweaking social justice warriors and some of them    realized the easiest way to do that was with racial slurs.    Every time some doofus leaves a noose on a college campus or    says the N-word, its treated like a national crisis. If youre    an anonymous troll who enjoys getting people to react to    everything you say, thats a FEATURE, not a bug. All you have    to do is say something racially offensive and all these people    who studiously try to ignore you will go out of their minds.  <\/p>\n<p>    That racial element gave the Nazis, white supremacists and KKK    mouth-breathers a way to connect with the more socially adept    trolls making the Pepe the Frog memes. Of course, the media    liberals fueled them as well with their hypocrisy. They painted    EVERY white supporter of Donald Trump or the Republican Party    as a racist even as they ignored and defended the vicious    anti-white rhetoric that has become commonplace on the Left.    Just to give you a quick example of that, there was a hashtag    that trended on Twitter after the attack called #ThisIsNotUS.    It started out as a way for white liberals to virtue signal,    but it quickly turned into an all too typical attack on white    people, America and Trump voters. Here are some of the most    popular comments from the hashtag  <\/p>\n<p>    #ThisIsNotUs Then who is it? 63% of white men & 53% of    white women voted for KKK-endorsed Trump. The majority of EVERY    OTHER ETHNICITY didnt  <\/p>\n<p>    If you are white and you are trying to say #ThisIsNotUs you    are part of the problem.  <\/p>\n<p>    If you're earnestly tweeting #ThisIsNotUS, know that the    you might as well have been one of the white supremacists    walking w\/ tiki torches.  <\/p>\n<p>    Every white person that tweets #ThisIsNotUs is being    complicit in not addressing the rampant racism and bigotry that    in their community  <\/p>\n<p>    #ThisIsNotUS? Easy to say so. Unfortunately you can't have    the Black, Brown, Asian, Jewish, Muslim or LGTBQ \"experience\"    to know #THISISYOU  <\/p>\n<p>    Gaga, prime example of a white woman using tag #ThisIsNotUs    like this country wasnt built on slavery & racism. THIS    HAS ALWAYS BEEN AmeriKa  <\/p>\n<p>    #ThisIsNotUs is how white people try to absolve themselves    from their complicity in white supremacy; it v much is you,    your inaction fuels it  <\/p>\n<p>    The biggest talking point white supremacists have are comments    like these. Would that be true if the mainstream media actually    treated these comments with the same sort of contempt it has    for the Alt-Right?  <\/p>\n<p>    Nope.  <\/p>\n<p>    Yet these sort of comments are MAINSTREAM on the Left. Let me    repeat that. They are MAINSTREAM on the Left.  <\/p>\n<p>    On the other hand, white supremacists are nothing on the Right.    David Duke is a joke. Richard Spencer? Let me tell you a little    story about Richard Spencer. I was walking around CPAC and    noticed an enormous gaggle of media surrounding someone I    didnt recognize, who didnt seem to be drawing a crowd of    regular attendees. As it turns out, the massive group of media    people werent following a big name. They were following    Richard Spencer, who was later kicked out of the conference,    presumably because the organizers never wanted him there in the    first place.  <\/p>\n<p>    Yet Richard Spencer, like David Duke before him, is treated    like some kind of rock star by the media liberals even though    hes a nobody in the conservative movement. Why? Because they    dont care about conservative opinion. They dont care about    conservative views. They care about creating propaganda that    paints the Right as a bunch of hood-wearing, Nazi-saluting    scumbags. So, they treat Richard Spencer like a rock star.  <\/p>\n<p>    This creates a sort of Kim Kardashian effect. Ninety five    percent of any influence Spencer has comes from the fact that    anything he does is a big deal to the media. Why were Spencer    and Duke able to gather even 500 Tiki torch-waving idiots in    Charlottesville? Because the media would cover everything they    did with bated breath. It gave them a chance to feel important,    to feel like they were making an impact. In fact, white    supremacists have started to believe their own BS because they    keep hearing it from the media. After fighting with Richard    Spencer on Twitter, I still remember one of his fans claiming    that white supremacists were an essential part of Trump getting    elected. My response was.  <\/p>\n<p>    Yeah, you guys made a bunch     of Holocaust memes & called people    cucksand then you're all....I'm    helping.  <\/p>\n<p>    The hardcore racists out there are pariahs everywhere except in    the mainstream media, where theyre treated as incredibly    important.  <\/p>\n<p>    On the other hand, the same mainstream media that has elevated    the Alt-Right has been silent as violence has increasingly    become a mainstay at liberal protests, including the    counter-protest of this event. A few shops getting looted or    people getting hurt doesnt stop the media from describing a    liberal event as a peaceful protest. Even the counter-protests    in Charlottesville were widely described as peaceful. Yet,    protesters chanted From    the Midwest to the South, punch a Nazi in the mouth, a        female reporter was punched by one of those    counter-protesters, the     organizer of the rally was hit, and other people    were attacked. Thats not peaceful. Thats something    LIBERAL POLITICIANS should be asked to condemn.  <\/p>\n<p>    In other words, Nazi and KKK members are HORRIBLE. The violent    liberal counter-protesters are ALSO horrible. James Alex    Fields, Jr? Who     appears to have marched at the rally before plowing into a    crowd? I condemn what he did. I also condemn the Bernie    supporter who shot up a congressional Republican softball game.    Additionally, I will condemn the next person on the Left or the    Right who kills someone over politics, which seems inevitable    when you have opposing sides carrying shields and weapons to    political rallies. Those condemnations dont make a damn bit of    difference as long as the liberal media keeps elevating white    supremacists and excusing the violence of the Alt-Left. Im    genuinely sorry people are dying at political rallies, but it    would be surprising if the death at Charlottesville were the    last one. Their blood will be on the hands of the liberal    media.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/johnhawkins\/2017\/08\/14\/how-the-liberal-media-created-charlottesville-n2368137\" title=\"How the Liberal Media Created Charlottesville - Townhall\">How the Liberal Media Created Charlottesville - Townhall<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> | Posted: Aug 14, 2017 12:01 AM I wish I could say that its a shock that someone died in Charlottesville, but Ive been predicting just this sort of thing in radio appearances for months.
