House GOP’s Reported Talking Points For Shootings: Note ‘Violence From The Left’ | Talking Points Memo

Now, now! Get your facts straight, please!

Bill Clinton killed Kennedy in 1963.

Hitlery tried to rub out Reagan in 1981 but missed because, after all, she shoots like a girl and don’t have the aim that the menfolk do.

Another headline about the GOP that doesn’t include “Democrats in Disarray”. Needs more false equivalence to be proper pundit political coverage.

I’m convinced that if the NRA asserted that a gun could be used as a safe and effective method of abortion, repubs would endorse it.

Jeez, what a scruffy looking creep. Does he sleep in the dumpster behind the Seven-Eleven?

Okay, granted, it’s rare-though far from unheard of-for them to accidentally release the Official Talking Points to the public, but was there really any question that they do this about everything? Did people think it’s a coincidence that they’re always all duckspeaking out the exact same talking points on every topic within hours of an event? Did anyone think it was a coincidence that this is the exact horseshit being spewed by MAGAs on Twitter within 24 hours?

Double-plus good duckspeakers. Big Brother will have no less.

Hell, yeah! Let those insults fly!

Pure projection. When anyone on the Left does commit horrific acts of mass violence, it’s not motivated by Leftist ideology.

Next you’ll probably try to tell me that Hitlary didn’t murder poor Vince Foster with her own hands, and drag his corpse to Fort Marcy Park.

Can’t fool me, libtard!

The problem as I see it is even if you call out the lies, the MSM will still print those lies in the headlines. Since most people consume news in the background those lies in headlines becomes the meme.

No, John Podesta murdered Vince Foster. That’s how Hitlery was able to blackmail him into running that teenage white slavery sex ring out of the basement at Comet Ping Pong Pizza in D.C.

For over 40 years the central Republican M.O. has been to lie about the purported “benefits” of its only actual goal (tax cuts and regulatory changes to shovel wealth from the poor and middle classes toward the largest corporations and the very richest Americans) because they know that if its actual aims, and the actual practical results of its policies were clearly understood, it could not possibly win elections. Part of this whole M.O. is the constant use of “projection” (as in, “I know you are but what am I?”) and “bothsidesism,” with which they have a great deal of help in the prostituted “mainstream media.”
So this is nothing new whatsoever.

Maybe the media, with your help, could devise some way to call out the lies without saying what the lie actually was at all.

Ah, I see your point. And that’s why the powers that be (the truly corrupt ones) count on the general citizenry needing two jobs, having hectic lives, outlaw abortions, etc. – the more the better so as to control the narrative as much as possible.

In the end, it really does come down to us participating as much as possible, prioritizing, etc. Still, I understand what you mean.

Totally agreed, the whole post.

“Talking points shared by a Florida Republican Thursday recommend that, when asked that question, lawmakers pivot toward blaming the left.”

How I long for the day when I can drop off my little boy in the morning, kiss him goodbye, head to work as a parent, and not fear the existential dread of yet another school mass-milkshaking.

I think you’re mixing things up. I don’t have the time to 'splain it all to you, libtard, because I gotta go … um … floss the cat. Yeah, that’s it!
