KATHY GRIFFIN'S JIHADIST ANTI-TRUMP FANTASY

Comedian Kathy Griffin's gruesome, Islamic State-inspired, photoshoot with the fake severed head of President Trump is an unsettling reminder of both the depravity of the Left and the lengths to which some radical activists will go to make a political statement in our information-rich age. The Left, American history shows, is inherently violent in both word and deed, but conservatives, despite a fondness they share with Democrats for military metaphors in politics, are rarely moved to commit actual violence. Conservatives' natural disinclination towards political violence is why Hillary Clinton authorizedRobert Creamer and Scott Foval to pay leftist agitators, the homeless, and the mentally ill, to cause melees at Trump rallies as part of the DNC's officially authorized "conflict engagement" program. After all, the leftist lie that Trump and his supporters were deplorable thugs wouldn't have gained traction without news reports of Trump fans getting physical with Trump haters. Plenty of left-leaning, anti-Trump comedians have subordinated their comedy routines to their politics. Almost always they end up being not funny. People who expect comedy from their comedians don't like being tricked into taking in political sermons.
