DOIN' WHAT COMES NATURALLY – AT 1:26 P.M. ET: Maybe it was too much to ask that the Sunday news shows would show the same level of restraint that the news reporters showed yesterday in covering the horror in Pittsburgh. Yes, it was too much to ask. Fareed Zakaria was on with his usual phoniness and his crocodile tears about PIttsburgh. You'd think from his variety show today that all hatred comes from the right. The left is pure. The phrase "colleges and universities" was not mentioned, despite the fact that many of these institutions of lower learning have become cesspools of hatred and division. Many Jewish students have reported that they feel fearful and isolated on these campuses, which are dominated by Israel haters. Hey, why notice? And, true to form, the talking heads bring everything back to Trump. He has set the tone, we're told. No, the tone of hatred and division was set in the late 1960s, whose graduates now control American journalism. Name a single violent attack against speakers on college campuses that has been launched by conservatives. The hate comes from the left. And Donald Trump is probably the most pro-Jewish president in American history. His daughter is an orthodox Jew, and he honors that. He moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. He has always had high-ranking Jewish advisers. But the talkers suggest that he sends out anti-Semitic messages. He does not. The left we will always have with us. It has taken over the Democratic Party, and its narrow view of America is dangerous. October 28, 2018 |
