Charlottesville a Sign of Desperation by the Radical Left
Timothy Birdnow
One quick thought on the rage against President Trump for blaming both sides in the Charlottesville riotts. This is, in it's own way, a sign we are winning. Having failed with the "Russian collusion" narrative the Left had to go back to their oldest play in their moldy old play book; the KKK, the Nazis, the supposed "radical right". This is as outdated an attack as one can imagine, and it appears very much like an old time professional wrestling match, with the eeevvvilll Baron Von Raschke as the Nazi goosestepper. Trump and Steve Bannon are in his corner, wating to smash a chair over the head of the good wrestler, say, Dusty Rhodes, while the referee is totally impotent to stop the attack.
The racism charge is the ace up their sleeve and I really don't think they wanted to use it this early. Sadly, the GOP is so cowardly they run for the hills every time it is played.. But it has been played entirely too much and the public is growing weary of it; every single Reopublican President has been called a racist in my memory, which goes back over half a century. This thing really is losing it's sting now.
But it stil works in the Beltway. Even though Donald Trump has never exhibited any sort of racism or animus towards others he is being tarred with this, well, blood libel. The Left knows it, too, but they just can't think of anything else to use.
Ever since the media took down Richard Nixon they have been eager for a repeat. They tried the same tricks with Reagan, going first after his subordinates (like James Watts, with success) but Reagan bested them, and they were sore about it. They did the same thing with both Bushes to a lesser degree, and now they are doing it with Trump. And they have been successful in removing Steve Bannon, a mistake Trump shouldn't have made. I would have sacked Bannon after that bizzarre interview he gave to The American Prospect, but not in this way at this time. It will only embolden these radicals.
The Left knows that Trump won more Jews and blacks than previous Republicans, so this is perfect to frighten some of them away. This is so clearly a carefully thought-out political strategy.
But again, that they were forced to play this hand not one year out means that they are getting desperate.
