I am not a fan of Ann Coulter. I do not remember the last time I quoted her in a blog; it must have been years ago.
But when someone gets it right, that person is going to be acknowledged here. And, in this case, Ann Coulter gets it right.
Ms. Coulter’s latest column is about the love for #blacklivesmatter shown at the Democrats’ national convention. Here, minus certain parts I disagree with (I still am no fan) are the key passages. Please pay special attention to the last two paragraphs, which I have put in bold print:
Whatever questionable choices were made at the Republican National Convention last week, I didn’t hear of a single speaker whose sole accomplishment was raising a delinquent who attacked a cop.
But as the country reels from the cold-blooded murder of five policemen in Dallas and three in Baton Rouge, Lezley McSpadden, mother of Mike Brown, America’s most famous cop-assaulting criminal, appeared on stage at the Democratic National Convention.
Welcome to Hillary’s convention, celebrating the anti-police group Black Lives Matter!
The whole raison d’etre of BLM is the belief that cops are wantonly killing “black bodies.” But only four of the dead black kids being honored were even killed by cops. Two were murdered by black gang members.
Of the four deaths that involved the police, all the victims were fighting the cops when they died.
The police are trying to get these criminal gangs off the street! And their job would be a lot easier without thugs like Mike Brown violently attacking them.
It would be a lot easier if they were not being targeted for assassination and mass murders by homicidal nuts ginned up by BLM. (Shooting deaths of police are up 78 percent so far this year.)
And it would be a lot easier without a group — officially supported by the Democrats — leading marches down city streets, chanting, “What do we want? DEAD COPS! When do we want it? NOW!”
Why does the Democratic platform endorse Black Lives Matter? And, most importantly, why was Mike Brown’s mother on stage at the Democratic National Convention?
As absurd as BLM’s other cases are, none have been so authoritatively disproved as the yarn about “gentle giant” Brown begging for his life from Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson before being shot in the street like a dog.
Within a few weeks of the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative being broadcast as fact from every media outlet, we saw the video of the “gentle giant” robbing a store and roughing up the clerk shortly before his encounter with Officer Wilson.
This was followed by extensive investigations by both a grand jury and a Department of Justice led by the most racist, anti-police attorney general we’ve ever had, Eric Holder. But even Holder’s Justice Department had to concede the whole “hands up don’t shoot” story was a bald-faced lie.
Officer Wilson was completely cleared in the shooting of Mike Brown. As the investigations proved, Big Mike had violently assaulted Wilson, grabbed for his gun, and was charging the officer when Wilson shot and killed this raging behemoth.
However half-heartedly, Hillary claims to oppose cop-killing, so why is she using her convention to promote the biggest lie in the pantheon of anti-cop lies, and to celebrate a man whose most famous act was to violently assault a police officer?
Because of the despicable lies put out by BLM agitators, Wilson had to give up his career, move his family and will be forced to live in fear for the rest of his life. The town of Ferguson was destroyed, businesses burned to the ground, police officers attacked, people injured, the National Guard called in, and massive taxpayer money expended to contain the riots.
But at the Democratic Convention, Lezley McSpadden (mother of Mike Brown) was wildly cheered.
Eric Holder said Brown tried to kill a cop. Are Democrats insane?
Donald Trump…is required to repeatedly “disavow” David Duke — someone he’s never met, never mentioned, never thought of— and certainly didn’t invite to speak at his convention.
But Hillary invites to her convention the mother of a man whose criminality destroyed a police officer’s life, tore the country apart and gave birth to a murderous cop-hating movement. Will a single reporter ask Hillary to disavow that?
The analysis you just read is spot-on accurate. It is a demonstration of just how far Democrats have gone down this ugly road….and just how far media – which have given them a virtual free pass – have gone down that same road.
Why have media gone along with this? To prove their liberality?
The number of Black people killed by police is minuscule compared to the number of Black people killed by other Blacks. How many mothers of innocent Black victims killed at the hands of Black gang members were on the Democrats’ stage? How many decent Black parents who live in fear of simply sending their child to the corner store for milk and eggs were there?
What the hell is “liberal” about ignoring that?
Are they going along with it because they fear being called racist – a word that should describe a terrible reality which exists in this (and every other) country, but has been so trivialized by the people Democrats are celebrating that it has lost almost all its impact.
And what about the huge jump in police killings this year – so many of them in places like in Baton Rouge and Dallas, which involve officers, both White and Black, who were not engaged in any altercation with a suspect? How many of them were on that stage?
Then we have those last two paragraphs.
Yes, Donald Trump, shooting from the hip as he did just about exclusively months ago, tried to play a clumsily coy word game regarding David Duke and came out sounding like he at least tacitly supported this career racist and anti-Semite. It was unbelievably stupid on Trump’s part, and he – 100% justifiably – continues to pay a political price for it.
That said, however, at least Trump is learning. He has learned the danger, in politics of shooting from the hip – which is that, when doing so, you often shoot yourself in the foot, he has – at least sometimes – become more studied in his comments.
By contrast, Hillary Clinton – not by virtue of a one-time clumsily worded basis, but ongoingly, every day, with full intent, supports a racist hate group which celebrates the deaths of police officers. She has not ameliorated her support for #blacklivesmatter one iota, even though they have marched in the street chanting things like “What do we want?” “Dead cops!”. “When do we want them”? “Now!”, and “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon”.
And instead of going after her for it, the same media which skewers Trump over David Duke, are as silent as churchmice.
Ann Coulter’s point in those paragraphs is that mainstream media are engaging in a glaring, wholly dishonest double standard.
Sad to say, she is spot-on correct.
