This is what Incitement Looks Like

I, for one, am sick of this shit.
What Donald Trump did was absolutely disgusting. People who pretend otherwise should be ashamed of themselves.

I think you're missing Aqua's point.
This is a diversionary tactic by those on the right to downplay what happened and somehow make it the fault of libtards.
I don't understand why we're all sitting around pretending that this article wasn't designed to gin up conservatives. It's not news. It's spreading spreading emotional gasoline that was in this case distributed by the Washington Times. And the ultimate irony is that this is happening while in the context of vilifying the liberal media for doing that very thing.
George said in a previous thread that he expects some kind of objectivity in news reporting. I just can't get behind that. I feel like at this point, getting incensed about biased news is tantamount to trying to convince people that slavery was bad. The Post or even Fox News isn't the Washington Times' competition. It's Facebook, Instagram and the Bed Bath & Beyond newsletter. Both CNN and the Times need you to be more outraged by their headlines than you are excited about the upcoming weekend sale at Home Depot, that's how they keep the lights on. We're all sitting here discussing news articles as if they were written thirty years ago.

It's right out the Vladimir Putin book on deception and provocation. Of course there had to be an agent provocateur from the "other side" behind all this misunderstanding and mayhem.
