Rooting for dangerous issues to occur to your adversaries is not uncommon. However when Rush Limbaugh mentioned “I hope he fails” about incoming President Obama in 2009, leftists like speak present host Stephanie Miller recommended he needs to be executed for treason.
Now, persons are speaking about vandalism in opposition to Elon Musk’s Tesla automobiles and dealerships, and crowds cheer and chortle because the Tesla inventory value sinks. The double customary is clear, with the Left switching from Obama is like God to Trump (or Musk) is like Devil.
On Saturday morning, CNN weekend host Michael Smerconish referred to as out The Each day Present (and its whooping viewers) for having fun with the assaults on Tesla. On Saturday night got here CNN’s news-based “comedy” present referred to as Have I Received Information for You. Host Roy Wooden Jr. performed a clip of CNN host Kaitlan Collins underlining that Musk is donating to GOP members of Congress who again impeaching the activist judges who’re overruling Trump’s strikes. They do not have the 67 votes within the Senate to take away any Democrat choose. However that is the state of CNN comedians:
AMBER RUFFIN: “When will we riot? When will we — ” (Cheering and Applause)
MICHAEL IAN BLACK: “Right here’s what I’ve been doing: I’ve been going round to random Tesla sellers and simply lighting automobiles on fireplace.” (Laughter)
The joke was it is one thing you should not say you probably did, like a public confession. However think about laughing at Deliberate Parenthood clinics closing, after which making jokes about rioting or burning down an abortion clinic. We will guess CNN would suppose that was not simply unfunny, however dangerously extremist.
Over at NPR, Bobby Allyn, a reporter specializing in social media and now particularly on Musk, did a sympathetic piece on environmental activist Valerie Costa, who acquired detrimental tweets and threats for pushing what they name the Tesla Takedown. Musk referred to as her out and recommended she favored violence. Allyn wrote: “There have been a spate of arrests linked to violence in opposition to Tesla services. Authorities haven’t mentioned any of the acts have been coordinated. Musk’s posts on X, Costa mentioned, not solely amplified false theories about who’s behind the protests, but in addition conflated peaceable protests with the violent acts. That’s deeply alarming, she mentioned.”
NPR and different liberal media retailers wouldn’t acknowledge anybody inside or exterior the Capitol engaged in a “peaceable protest” on January 6, however when the goal is related to Trump and firing federal bureaucrats, the whole angle modifications.
No less than NPR (in a separate story) and the AP sought out “specialists on home extremism” to evaluate whether or not the assaults on Tesla certified as home terrorism. This was clearly vandalism and violence meant to intimidate individuals out of shopping for or preserving a Tesla, so the T-word matches.
