Ben Carson: There's a Lot of Extreme Language on Both Sides of the Abortion Debate

I can't get too excised about this because it's certainly true; there is a lot of very harsh talk on both sides. One may say this is justified; but of course the other side says that too. I don't think Carson is saying much here more than "We need to listen and speak softly if we are to persuade," which is generally true, if you're trying to make headway on an issue. If you have a different goal, that might not be true.

At any rate, people are now screaming that a would-be politician dared to say something politic.

Of course, this comes as the left takes a shooting and claims the only way to stop further shootings is to ban all political ideas they don't like, which of course they always do.

The Colorado governor says that the Planned Parenthood shooting is due to the rhetoric of "talk radio" and "bloggers."

Ed Morrissey catches the Washington Post saying the same thing.

He notes an example where the left does not find its own hot rhetoric linked to a murderer's rampage -- the Family Research Council shooter. I can name another one -- the Discover Channel Shooter, a shooter the left seized upon initially because they assumed he was rightwing, then discarded quickly when his manifesto indicated that he was so left-wing on climate change he thought the Discovery Channel was too soft in its climate change propaganda.

Gabriel Malor has documented the left's "incurable" disease of blaming shootings on right-wing speech.

But never, ever on leftwing speech -- obviously! Leftwing speech never inspires violence. Except when it does. And there's an interesting argument to explain why, and that argument is complete media silence.

I find this part of the left's broader mission of shutting down any thought of which they don't approve. The left routinely -- reflexively -- links any sort of political thought they don't like into a dire real-world consequence or crime.

If you deny the fake 1-in-5 claim, you're encouraging rape.

If you publicize the fact that baby organs are in fact being harvested at Planned Parenthood, you're encouraging shooting.

If you call a woman "bossy," you're both fostering an anti-woman "atmosphere" and encouraging violent crimes against women.

And so on. As I say, the left's own hot rhetoric -- that we need to reduce the human population to save us from global warming; that anyone who disagrees with this is a "denier" like a Holocaust denier; etc., etc. -- is never, apparently, linked to any violence.

There are several points to be made here:

1. The left is, of course, a group of vicious liars and nonstop propagandists entirely unwilling to engage even on their own claimed premises.

That is: If hot talk leads to violence, and therefore we must stop hot talk, why am I told, by some senior Democrat party officials, that anyone who disagrees with climate change should be prosecuted for a crime? Does this not tend to excite the passions of the strange-minded as well?)

2. It has become de rigeur on the left to claim that some political thoughts -- coincidentally, all of which are political thoughts hated by the left -- must simply be abandoned in order to forestall any possibility of violence.

Sorry, they say, we'd love to have that tumultuous marketplace-of-ideas you lads are always on about, but the dangers are just too great to allow it.

This is, of course, the censor's eternal apologetics for his censorship: Sure, we'd love to let you publish that book, Old Boy, but the threat to the public safety and national morals are just too great.

3. On that last point, several things should be kept in mind: The first is Justice Holmes' dissent from The People vs. Gitlow, a case about communists attempting to incite people into a revolution (which would, of course, involve violence). This dissent is now far more influential in constitutional law than the actual decision, which upheld the convictions for incitement.

On the idea that some ideas are so "hot" they may become an incitement to criminal action, Holmes says:

If what I think the correct test is applied, it is manifest that there was no present danger of an attempt to overthrow the government by force on the part of the admittedly small minority who shared the defendant's views. It is said that this manifesto was more than a theory, that it was an incitement. Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief, and, if believed, it is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth. The only difference between the expression of an opinion and an incitement in the narrower sense is the speaker's enthusiasm for the result. Eloquence may set fire to reason. But whatever may be thought of the redundant discourse before us, it had no chance of starting a present conflagration. If, in the long run, the beliefs expressed in proletarian dictatorship are destined to be accepted by the dominant forces of the community, the only meaning of free speech is that they should be given their chance and have their way.

This is why the court has strictly limited (since then) such incitement laws: The speaker must expressly call for a crime to occur, and the danger of that crime occurring must be a clear and present one, not a speculative one.

The left, of course, ignores this (and ignores how this liberal spirit of speech kept their own brethren, and even they themselves, out of jail for decades), and wishes to use this sort of "ideas = murder" equation to attack its enemies.

4. One final thought: I believe, as you know, that the left is a cult, and is chiefly engaged in the mode of primitive, magical thinking.

Let me point out there are a huge number of superstitious about Speaking of Evil: That if an evil is spoken aloud, it might make that evil manifest in the world. This is why people rap twice on wood after talking about an event they fear could happen: the rapping on wood is supposed to be some kind of charm preventing that evil thought from gaining traction in the mud of reality.

Curses -- spoken words of evil wishes -- were (are) thought to somehow carry actual power to make those wishes into reality.

"Speak of the devil and soon he appears" may mean something else now -- it just means that you mentioned something in conversation, and suddenly it actually appears -- but it used to have a much more literal meaning:

Deriving from the Middle Ages, this proverb (which was, and to a certain extent still is, rendered as "Talk of the Devil...") was a superstitious prohibition against speaking directly of the Devil or of evil in general, which was considered to incite that party to appear, generally with unfortunate consequences. Its first printed usage in modern English can be found in Giovanni Torriano's Piazza Universale (1666), as "The English say, Talk of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow."

The left engages, as I say, in magical thinking, but they dress up their primitive, archaic superstitious -- barely -- in allegedly "scientific" garb. Thus we get the "Gaia Hypothesis," proposing that the earth is actually a self-protecting deity -- metaphorically, you understand; the left wouldn't say the earth is actually a goddess. That's far too medieval for them. So they say it is metaphorically a goddess, and just happens to behave in every single fashion the way an actual goddess would, including raining fire and damnation upon those who offend Her.

Now, if you want to take that metaphor and maybe believe it's a bit more real than that... well, you're welcome to. But We didn't say She was actually a God. We just said She was metaphorically a goddess. Though We can quite understand how you could mistake Her for a real one...

In the case of speech, the left similarly engages in speak-of-the-devil/jinks/curse-type thinking to claim that any Evil Words they don't like will bring Evil Itself into the real world. The mechanism they propose for this is not straight magic, as the old version of the superstition had it.

No, just like they dress up their Goddess Earth language in some minor trappings of modernity, they have a different mechanism by which to explain how Evil Words work actual Evil in the real world: Because you add to the "atmosphere of hate" and the "climate of fear" and etc..

Rather than your words working in the magical aether that surrounds and interpenetrates the Material Plane, your words instead work by spreading mental contagions among the herdlike populations of human beings living upon this earth (curse them!).

The mechanism has undergone a slight modernization and rationalization -- your Evil Words lead, through social intercourse, to a Rube Goldberg type contraption where a single falling domino winds up, many collisions and contacts down the line, in a shooting at an abortion clinic -- but in broad summary this is no different at all from the various prohibitions against Speaking Evil.

It's magic -- but We are just too sophisticated now to call it that. We have new words to call Evil Magic Words, and those new words are "Rhetoric of Hatred."

For more on this idea (but don't comment in this post -- you'll get banned, because comments in old posts are considered spam by the system), read Enchanted Crocodiles, Mighty Sorcerers, and Lee Harvey Oswald.

As Carl Jung observed:

The civilized man of today shows these archaic processes as well, and not merely in the form of sporadic "throw-backs" fro the level of modern social life. On the contrary, every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic [primitive, shamanistic] man in the deeper levels of his psyche.

And no men are so archaic in their thoughts as the future primitives of the left.

16 I don't know, the fact that half a billion of our tax money goes to an organization whose sole money producing endeavor is the dismemberment of babies and profiting on the sale of viable organs is murderously enraging.

But there is zero evidence that that was the case here.

There is literally no concrete information available with regards the Colorado shooter and his actual motives.

The only thing that has been released so far has been oblique twaddle the progs have run with.

I am fully expecting a full court Jedi mind trick press conference from the DA long on prog cant and short on actual fact.

The dude lived in a shack in the woods and was crazy I believe this business about him talking about no more baby parts was a line fed to him and he regurgitated if it happened at all.

17 This is wonderful, ace.

The Colorado governor says that the Planned Parenthood shooting is due to the rhetoric of "talk radio" and "bloggers."



I would like an answer to the question as to how the guy heard talk radio and read blogs if, as appears to be the case, he lived in a shack with no electricity and has done so for several years.


Let me point out there are a huge number of superstitious about Speaking of Evil: That if an evil is spoken aloud, it might make that evil manifest in the world.

Several years back, South Park did an episode in which everyone said shit at a Horde level of usage. IIRC, there was a counter running to show how many times.

The point of the show? By saying shit so much, the boys raised a shit monster. Why? Because curse words were once cursed words and the reason shit was a cursed word was because say it enough and the monster would rise. It was brilliant.

18 Oh, back to Carson -- he seems to not know how to talk politicianspeak. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.

Like when someone on our side says (when asked), 'well I guess there's a right to privacy implied in the Constitution -- government can't search & seize your shit without a warrant, so..." without realizing that it's a trick set up so the media can say "candidate x agrees with roe v wade which pisses off the mouth breathers in the GOP".

I think that's what happened here with Carson -- yes there is heated rhetoric on all sides of every debate. Just saying that should be pretty non controversial. But in this situation, it seems more controversial then it should be because Carson is accepting the medias premise that "rhetoric" had anything to do with what happened in CO. Even though we have no idea, as of right now, what happened in CO and what the guys motivations were.

For all we know, his neighbors dog told him to do it.

30 And here's another thought.

Let's say we take the left at their word -- that they think that "heated rhetoric" can/will/does lead to violence.

Does that mean they're actively trying to get all "right wingers" and "republican extremists" killed? I mean, it's a steady drumbeat from the MSM and D politicians about how "extremists" in the Republican party are anti-government terrorists who hate america.

So why is it acceptable then for the media to use such heated rhetoric to describe a large per centage of the American people? Even here, saying "talk radio" and "blogs" led to the CO shooting. Aren't they worried that some pro-abortion "extremist" is going to go hunt down Rush Limbaugh and all bloggers now? Or that they're putting the people who made those PP undercover videos at risk?

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 30, 2015 03:11 PM (AkOaV)

31 Incidentally the left is claiming - get this - that Planned Parenthood hacking up babies and selling the parts isn't really selling because they only get "operating costs" out of the sales. See, its not sales because they don't make a profit!

Mind you, that's nonsense, because they are making extra money out of it - hello lambourghini - but to define sales as exclusively something you make a profit out of is a stupid too far even for leftist economic comprehension.

What's sad is that all of us likely predicted exactly how the MSM and politicians would handle the PP shooter as soon as we saw that there was a stand-off in progress on the news.

60 This topic is very difficult for me.

On one hand, I don't think walking in to a clinic and shooting everyone is a good thing.

On the other hand, they are murdering babies. And what do normal people do to stop a killer from murdering someone? Do we try to persuade them from being a murderer, or do we take firmer action?

ISIS is killing and chopping up people by the thousands. And we are (rightly in my mind) intent on killing them in order to wipe them out.

Planned Parenthood is killing and chopping up people by the millions. And we are supposed to feel bad when they are visited by an evil that pales in comparison to their own?

I fully understand and agree with the prohibition on advocating for criminal acts on a site. Both for the blog owner's protection and our own.

However, I do not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for abortionists and their co-workers when they meet the same fate they delivered to the defenseless.

They all could get the Tiller Treatment, and I would not care a whit. The only thing that I object to are the innocent outside the temple of Moloch that are hurt in the process.

But that crazy guy in Colorado Springs, I don't think he was trying to fight PP, he was just an evil nut who did some evil shit. That is of course based on no real information and my unqualified opinion.

61 A few nights ago, on the LOCAL news, in Columbus, Ohio (Fox News, no less) the lead item on the 11 pm news was the shooting in Colorado Springs, and then they interviewed the local manager of a Planned Parenthood location, talking up all the inherent violence in the system.

She was, of course, a late- middle aged, soft spoken disseminator of their propaganda. You've seen the type before.

The lead item. You mean, this was not a local story?

I'm sure this was a spontaneous bit of programming on the part of the news station. Uh-huh.

62 Carson's comments ignore the simple (and unmentioned) fact that a baby dies at each and every one of those procedures.

Every single one of them.

I'm still waiting for someone to say, "Well, what about the baby's right to live?" It's not just the mother's life at stake: she'll probably live, the baby definitely won't. Yet that unignorable fact remains.

We are talking life and death here. At least some are.

68 Crichton wrote about the false nature of Science corrupted by politics. This lecture he gave is accessible (easy reading) and it is damning.

Idiot lefties follow the same playbook over and over, and no "means" are beyond the pale if the "ends" are just. Everything lefties touch, including Science, is corrupted as a result. Eventually, they always get to mass murder (for the good of Gaia, the children and the middle class!!).

That's how I understand it. We only have one comment by the PD that this guy said something about no more hacked up babies, but then, we only have the one PD comment about him being transgender as well. The 24 hour rule is becoming the 24 day rule, so much nonsense and speculation floating around about this.

What seems pretty clear is that he wasn't targeting Planned Parenthood with his shooting, whatever his motivations. What's also clear is that if this had happened at a Shoe Barn, the press wouldn't have shown up in droves and nobody would be calling it the #ShoeBarnShooting

The transgender thing as far as I know is only from his voter reg card which has him as a "female" which could just be a mistake when he checked the box on the form. I'm not prepared to read in to that TOO deeply yet.

But yes, if I were a betting man I'd go with "nutjob, possibly schizo, definitely off any meds that he had been prescribed" over "evangelical Christian who was against abortion".

But it won't matter, the media has their narrative. They will just not report on anything that hurts it.

For example, that leftist Joe Stack guy who flew a plane in the IRS building in TX is still on every list of "right wing terrorists" put out by the government and SPLC etc. etc.

Even though his "manifesto" seemed to highly suggest that he was far-left, his family said he was a democrat, and the reason he targeted the IRS was that they were about to seize his assets for failure to pay taxes.

I've just never heard anyone complain "how dare they ask my gender, I'll tell them I'm a woman instead!!" on something like that.

I've only unfriended two people on FB, and one was an old friend from high school who went completely off the rails.

She loved to argue that the Nazis were right-wingers, and when I pointed out that the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei translated into "National Socialist German Workers' Party," she argued that the real point was that they were NATIONALISTS, and that they really weren't socialist, because socialists are tolerant. According to her, patriotic Americans, who tend to be conservative, are NATIONALISTS, and thus Nazis.

Facebook is a lot more pleasant without her.

I always hear this, but I just don't buy it.

Blacks were REALLY against gay marriage, especially black pastors, but they all still fell in line behind Obama who went so far as lighting up the White House in a rainbow.

Plus, if there was any real movement towards Trump from that group, all Hillary would have to do is throw a little tough talk out there about illegals and all the blacks would "come home" over night.

255 If we are to measure, scientifically, the results of political speech and ban those thoughts and ideas which have caused the most harm, by and far there are two that must be banned:

Islam and Marx and his offspring. Each is responsible for the death of billions, billions more enslaved in a life of poverty and servitude, billions in treasure and time wasted--all in service of a system that exists solely to benefit the richest and the most powerful.

No other philosophy or belief has ever spread more poison, more death, more hatred, more abuse, more suffering, more evil than those two.

Banning them will--if we ought to go down the path of banning ideas--bring more peace, more prosperity, more happiness, more safety, more security, more wealth to mankind than any other possible course of action.

But, the left hates science and will never agree to such clear proof. For--as ever--they stand to benefit from the suffering of man.

283 Nice post ...

The thief comes to steal kill destroy, JC came that we might have life more abundantly John 10:10 A basic of Christianity.

Obama is a rabble rouser, a destroyer of what the western world has built, favoring the glorious promises of a commie future.

The Marxists infiltrated Christian churches with Rev. Wright's black liberation theology, where white man and white society are the great oppressor. Yet Obama's half brother in Kenya wishes the Brits had stayed longer so they would have built an economy in Kenya like they built in South Africa (until communist Mandela was elected on the pretense of racial harmony, now aligned with communists, kinda like Obama's story)

Whether it is magic thinking or not, the western world learned good versus evil, based largely in protestant reforms. The left has been replacing our foundations for a century, with their commie version.

The Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, Scientific Revolution came with open debate, and brought great things, as individual thinking escaped popes and kings. The Islamic world became the poor man of Europe as it clung to top down control. The communist world clung to the godless rule by force.

The belief in some greater good, some higher purpose and calling, seems essential to successful society. Perhaps some higher power/purpose is reality more than magical thinking, but our comic books and sci-fi largely exalt a "counterfeit" version, as does much of religion and all of academia.

Our WASPy founders left us a Christian based free society, but individuals have not fought hard enough to maintain their liberties, so it is now again "game on".

That's my synopsis for now at least ... life is a highway.

And that's the reason for the rising voices.

We know they can't and won't be convinced they're incorrect and try for a compromise.

So the right has become more and more vocal.

Ben doesn't understand this because everyone he talks to, I'm sure, is very congenial and acts as if a compromise is just around the corner but somehow eludes their grasp. Perhaps if the conservatives just gave a little ground here and there? Yeah. That's always the way it goes. Promises, promises but no delivery.

Sorry Ben, down here at the grassroots where things are a bit more clear and more nitty gritty, we understand that there will be no compromise unless we do it and we've given too much in time as it is. Too much hoping that the lying politicians can create some answer, hoping that the left has a heart and will decide to stop killing babies with a scissor through the brain.

I'm not the judge, despite my convictions about right and wrong. But
the press tells me one of the victims was the father of two daughters.
Which presents to the reader one impression. But the story ends there.
Only that he was escorting some unnamed individual to the clinic.



So I have this weird perception that the absence of information is actually often fact-filled information.
=============
If, as you have filled in, such is so: I rate his death the Markos treatment.
I feel nothing for him--fuck him; choosing to visit death upon an innocent baby for the comfort of his life (and make no mistake, parents who push their children to abortion do so for their comfort, not their children, who often want the child but are helpless to resist), choosing to scar his child with that evil for the rest of her life for his lazy ass comfort--fuck him.

358 Let me point out there are a huge number of superstitious about Speaking of Evil: That if an evil is spoken aloud, it might make that evil manifest in the world.

Another example is the "Don't speak ill of the dead" tradition. It goes back to the Romans: De mortuis nihil nisi bonum. But we've forgotten the superstitious roots of this maxim. We think it's something to do with fair play: a dead person can't answer back and defend himself. But the Romans had a real fear of the dead, and this bit of advice was to ward off trouble. If you speak ill of the dead, they thought, you could make the spirit of the departed angry, and might end up being haunted by them. So don't do it. Better yet, don't say ANYTHING about the dead ("nihil"), but if you have to say something, make sure it's nice.

360 Just a note on the Italian superstitions against "speaking evil," this is, i think common in societies oppressed by arbitrary powers. This applied in parts of the old world where the mafia or other organized groups reigned, but also in parts of the world where communism (et al.) had power. "speak of the devil" was not so much a superstition, but a warning that "you never know who is listening," or that what you are saying is risky.

So this was just a way that older or wiser people warned others about that thing you can not even mention to warn others not to mention.

I think the same thing is happening in the US though regarding all the PC talk and thoughts people are required to have.

Maybe we should update it - Speak of Caitlin and he'll stick his dick in your ass.

The patron without further ado plunged a cheap steak knife off the table into the poor guys heart. 20 years ago?

The victim was a genuine immigrant in his 20's as Little Joe was/is an immigrant himself and he would work to get people from his country to come here.

The crime happened late at night and the restaurant stopped being open all night and they got blunt instead of pointy steak knives.
