Daily Beast guy: Republican jokes about reporters lead to more Islamist Hebdo slaughters

Leave it to the left to take a perfectly reasonable and logical critique and turn it into absurd hysterical nonsense.

In this case it’s this Daily Beast doofus:

This idiot actually believes this joke from Gov. Greg Abbott:

Will lead to this bloody scene from the evil Hebdo attack:

EXCEPT THERE’S ONE PROBLEM WITH THAT. THEY WERE MUSLIM EXTREMISTS NOT REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS.

Holy crap dude. Are you friggin’ kidding me.  It’s the left-wing media that ignores the threat from Islamist extremists, but exaggerates the threat from Republican’s jokes. It’s just amazing.

I’m sure that the bloodthirsty terrorists who slaughtered the cartoonists at Hebdo were more influenced by jokes about journalists than the Koran telling them to kill anyone who insulted the prophet, right? Brilliant analysis.

And don’t be a tribalistic binary-thinker on this – you can think that Abbott’s joke was somewhat inappropriate, think that Greg Gianforte is a dumb thug, and also think this guy is a complete moron. It’s ok. I give you permission.
