I mean, Leftists will NEVER, under ANY circumstance, own the behavior of their rhetoric having influence over the population, but goddamn if they aren't quick to point the finger. Idiots.

I see you have decided to go back to stupid mode. Ok. That's your prerogative, but in the meantime why don't you please try to compare apples and apples by pointing to any examples of sitting Presidents condoning conspiracy theories that lead to mass murders.

And what from this Fox segment is problematic? He didn't say anything about "the protocols of the elders of zion" or anything at all like this.

Because precision of language in describing one’s conspiracy theories is the norm, right?

This is true in the context of British politics if you clean this up to refer to subcultures within Islamic and Labour politics. Not so much in America. In America you'd have to swap out the British far left for a radical minority within black politics, but that doesn't quite have the same impact. Of course, of those three groups, the only one that actually has real political power in America are the fascist and fascist-lite folks on the right.

Now, now. He also didn't stand up and Heil Hitler in the middle of the segment, so that's proof right there that he's not sharing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories akin to what you would find in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Accept your pwnage.

Do you have some relevant experience working in the government than counters mine? Your attempts to pick fights don't impress me. You are precisely the sort of jew hating anti-Israel leftist lunatic that this is all about.

There's a lot going wrong here. Res Ipsa decided to focus on how no work is being done to connect how atheist rhetoric actually motivates atheists to shoot up schools. There's a difference between a person shooting up a school who happens to be atheist and a person being specifically motivated by their atheism to shoot up a school. And there's even a difference between that and mainstream atheist discourse playing a encouraging factor in that motivation happening.

But what gets me first is the strawman argument that anyone at all is arguing that any rhetoric that can be generally called conservative is being blames for any specific conservative attack. No one is saying, "Conservatives are to blame because this conservative killed people." Rather, the argument is that specific bigoted, dehumanizing, and inciting language bears some responsibility for violence so motivated by it. Arguing that doesn't commit an Ezra Klein fan to also taking responsibility for Che Guevera.

Yes.

But is it not astonishing that this very obvious truth needs to be stated at all?
