Background: Republicans Demonstrate How To Kill People With Rhetoric (Something We Know Can Be Done Since The 1900s!)... Can Regular Citizens Get Secret Service Protection Too?
I have been documenting the ways in which "the right wing" has been using rhetoric under the guise of "free speech" to kill people (for a while). In this post I finally have a complete picture. Not saying it will work for everyone but that the link between Fox News using rhetoric to influence people (& only claiming they can do such a thing if they want to brag about it) and their stance that they can't do such a thing is a lie. The following illustrates where Donald Trump's very public rhetoric is leading (keeping in mind that Trump is just a vocal aspect of standard Fox News/GOP propaganda in terms of the political story-line being followed, i.e. this has been standard rhetoric for years, the media has no reason to pick on Trump without picking on the whole GOP except that he's their favorite punching bag. You should have seen then during the Iraq War, they couldn't hide stuff fast enough);
First, a flashback (as expressed in my previous post on this topic in the link in the background for this piece);
What if someone acts on Trump’s rhetoric?MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell looks at the lessons from the 1995 assassination of Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin after some heated campaign rhetoric and what it could mean if one of Trump’s supporters takes his incendiary comments about Hillary Clinton seriously.
Second, a more detailed look at toxic rhetoric and what it is doing;
A question Team Trump finally faced: For months, Lawrence O'Donnell has been waiting for the Trump campaign to be asked one very simple question about his taxes. It finally happened and the Trump campaign manager was stunned.
The context? A lie about Muslims and 9/11 which is really quite unbelievable for a general election;
Lawrence O Donnell continues...
I've argued that Trump's rhetoric is no different from the GOP's rhetoric. The following are examples from recent times but the rhetoric online was just as toxic before Trump, if you take into account John McCain's flip flopping to his base, Trump can't be blamed as the sole reason for this rhetoric but as an influential part of the GOP machine;
The sort of effect this has on a certain percentage of the population (millions of people) leads to this sort of behavior;
Which is just an offshoot of standard GOP rhetoric on Liberals;
Like I've explained before... we are just watching the effects of GOP/Fox-News rhetoric. Here is a list of proofs;
