Trump posts anti-CNN video on Twitter has been added as a related post - related requested by makach on that post.

Jesus Christ. The only thing more pathetic than a man-baby president posting a video like this to twitter like some 12 year old internet tough guy is the ensuing media reaction to it:
He's inciting violence against reporters!
It seems like a physical threat!

Much ado about {makes jerk-off motion}.

Your president, America. You voted for that.

Don't look away.

Own
It.


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

Well, I mean, the electoral college did, but...

You know a Republican did exactly this to a guardian reporter a month ago right? In, like, real life.

Gawd ... simply *terrible

Adding video to channels (Terrible) - requested by PlayhousePals.

Yeah, and a Democrat shot up a GOP basketball practice after Kathy Griffin {or insert whatever left-leaning public persona you want} made negative / seemingly "violent" comments about Trump / Republicans.

The common thread isn't that trivial nonsense like this video "incited" those people to violence. The common thread is that unhinged idiots that can't differentiate between fiction and reality sometimes do crazy / terrible / violent stuff. The fault lies with said unhinged idiots, not any external entity that they claim influenced them (Trump, Kathy Griffin, Grand Theft Auto / Doom video games, Ozzy Osbourne, whatever).

How CNN threatened to dox the WWE Trump meme creator

Sure. But the Republican that was referenced isn't some whack-job nobody that is simply a registered Republican, he's a Representative in the US Congress.

When the powerless and disturbed lash out violently, it's unfortunate. When a person equally disturbed and violent has real power, it's a much bigger problem.

Oh Bob....what drivel you post.....

Memes of violence against someone you (the president) have called an enemy of the American people, posted shortly after a congressman violently attacks one of them and tries to lie about it (thank goodness for audio) are absolutely intended to be inciting violence.

Releasing the name of a person who has been creating such memes is not doxing, especially by a reporter, it's what they do....and CNN didn't try to intimidate anyone, he acted on his own without prompting. He even released a statement denying that CNN had attempted to threaten or harass him.

Ending your video by calling someone/a group an enemy of Americans is exponentially worse than CNN NOT releasing the name of the person creating memes depicting violence against them...even though they've also been labeled enemies of America by the president, who retweeted the meme.

I just hope reporters start carrying guns, and the next macho douchbag representative that physically attacks one gets 3 to the dome instead of a little public shaming (and pats on the back by his party). (Edit: Ok, not really, but one in the foot maybe?)

Meanwhile, the Declaration of Independence is now apparently biased against Trump.

Jesus, America... get your shit together. Your founding fathers would be embarrassed.

I agree that a disturbed person with more power is a bigger problem. To go straight for the Godwin's Law example, there have probably been people more evil and messed up than Hitler in the history of Earth, but very few had the power and opportunity to act on that evil to the magnitude he did.

However, you brought up magnitude of problems and compared the two as "equally disturbed". The Republican Congressman (with admittedly more power/influence) "body-slammed" a reporter. The Democrat nutcase shot up 6 people and (I think) didn't manage to kill any of them, but not for lack of trying.

We don't really know what was going on in either persons' heads when they did these things. What led up to them, etc. Maybe the reporter had been doggedly following and questioning/harassing the Congressman to such an extent that he snapped. Happens quite a lot with paparazzi, and we tend to give the celebrity targets a lot of benefit of the doubt in those cases. The only long-term result of the bodyslam incident that I know of is that the reporter's glasses were broken. Glasses can be repaired or replaced. Bullet wounds are rather tougher to fix.

However my main point isn't to get into a dick-measuring contest about who did more harm or who is more fucked up. My point is that the person entirely responsible in either incident is known. GOP Congressman physically assaulted a reporter of his own volition. Democrat nutcase shot up that baseball practice of his own volition. Those individuals are 100% responsible for what they did, no matter who or what they might claim drove them to their actions. Just like it isn't Ozzy Osbourne's fault when some nutter offs themselves after listening to his song "Suicide Solution", or John Carmack's fault for Columbine even though Klebold and Harris liked playing Doom.
