THEY DID MUCH THE SAME IN RESPONSE TO JB PRITZKER'S SPEECH IN 

NEW HAMPSHIRE 

ERIN ZORN MAINTAINS A SUBSTACK: THE PICAYUNE SENTINEL THAT'S ALWAYS 

FULL OF A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION: 

The Illinois Republican Party rushed to the fainting couch in a news release Monday headlined, “Pritzker Calls For Violence Toward Republicans.”

JB Pritzker’s attempt to woo New Hampshire Democrats as he barrels towards the 2028 Democrat primary was full of divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. Pritzker’s obsession, to insult and to chastise President Trump, showed forcefully as he stoked the crowd in calling for political violence against Republicans.

The Tribune reported:

Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, reposted a clip of Pritzker’s speech on social media and asked, “Are you trying to inspire a 3rd assassination attempt on my dad?” And deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller in Washington also criticized the remarks, saying they “could be construed as inciting violence.”

“The destruction of property sits directly adjacent to the — to attacks on humans, physical attacks,” said Miller, who also cited the past assassination attempts on Trump.

Easy there, Grand Old Paranoids. Fighting with “every microphone and megaphone that we have” is call for protests and rhetoric, not a call to take up bear spray, baseball bats and flagpoles, as those who answered the call from Dear Leader did on Jan. 6, 2021.

You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. … And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.

Donald Trump’s fondness for violence and violent rhetoric is well documented and includes:

• Suggesting that outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley should be executed as a traitor for having back-channel conversations with the Chinese.

• Saying to police, “If you had one really violent day … one rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word will get out, and (crime) will end immediately.”

• Declaring that “radical-left lunatics” should be “handled by the National Guard, or, if really necessary, by the military.”

• Suggesting that never-Trump former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney be confronted “with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it ... when the guns are trained on her face.”

• Saying, “I’d like to punch him in the face,” about a heckler at a campaign rally.

• Praising then-Republican U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte for physically assaulting a journalist by saying, “Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my guy!”

THE CONVERSATION

And of course, Trump pardoned everyone convicted of violent attacks on police on Jan. 6. I seem to have missed the Illinois Republicans’ lamentations about that.

So they can spare us their feeble pleas for civility.

Pritzker’s speech was a call to action, not to arms. He is urging Democrats to protest at the offices of Republican elected officials, not threaten them with stun guns, punch them in the face or poop on their desks.

“The peace that I’m talking about (in saying ‘Republicans cannot know a moment of peace’) is making sure that they know at all times that the American public opposes the policies of congressional Republicans and of the White House,” he said Monday when questioned by reporters.

PROFANITY & INTELLIGENCE? 

News: The Tribune Editorial Board twists its collective hankie and decries coarse language from Democrats

View: Give me a fucking break. No major figure in American politics has ever done more to inject vulgarity and impolite language into our discourse than Donald Trump. Here’s The New York Times reporting on an Oct. 28 Trump rally at Madison Square Garden:

Mr. Trump has always been more prone than any of his predecessors in the White House to publicly use what were once called dirty words.

But in his third campaign for the presidency, his speeches have grown coarser and coarser. Altogether, according to a computer search, Mr. Trump has used words that would have once gotten a kid’s mouth washed out with soap at least 140 times in public this year.

Counting tamer four-letter words like “damn” and “hell,” he has cursed in public at least 1,787 times in 2024. … The thousands on hand at Madison Square Garden cheered and laughed at the F-bombs, S-bombs and other bombs thrown out by the various speakers and warm-up acts for Mr. Trump. It clearly is part of the testosterone-driven appeal: Real men curse. Mr. Trump is a real man. What they want is a real man for president.

In total, a computer search of 17 of the speakers at Madison Square Garden found epithets used at least 43 times. One of the most prolific was Sid Rosenberg, a conservative radio host. “What a sick son of a bitch,” he said of Hillary Clinton. “The whole fucking party, a bunch of degenerates, lowlives, Jew haters and lowlives. Every one of them.”

Scott LoBaido, an artist, flipped the bird to the Democrats and called Mr. Trump “the greatest fucking president in the world.” … Mr. Trump himself was somewhat more reticent at Madison Square Garden, deploying an “ass,” a couple of “damns,” eight “hells” and a “shit.” But at other recent rallies, he has called Ms. Harris “a shit vice president” and used the same word at a Catholic charity dinner in front of New York’s cardinal.

At one appearance in February before the Conservative Political Action Conference, Mr. Trump spiced his speech with no fewer than 44 epithets. “I got indicted four times by this gang of thugs for nothing, or as I say respectfully to the people from foreign countries, for bullshit,” he said at one point.

So now comes the Tribune Editorial Board to wag its institutional finger at … the Democrats?

If Democrats think the path back to voters’ hearts runs through a minefield of f-bombs, they’re in for another rough election cycle. … At a time when politics demands clarity, civility and leadership, it’s a misstep to embrace vulgar language as a tool to signal authenticity or passion. Instead of elevating the conversation, it lowers the bar, reinforcing the corrosive idea that rage and vulgarity are substitutes for thoughtful persuasion.
