\"Listen<\/a> <\/p>\n

RUSH: You have heard, I\u2019m sure by now, of Donald Trump\u2019s totally insensitive tweet after the cousin of Dwyane Wade, formally of the Miami Heat, was gunned down in Chicago.  It happened Saturday, and Trump tweeted the following:  “Dwyane Wade\u2019s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago.  Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will vote Trump.” <\/p>\n

You would have thought that the most outrageous example of heartlessness and cruelty had just happened because, ladies and gentlemen, Republicans, conservatives, anybody who\u2019s not a Democrat is not allowed to go there.  When there is gun violence and when the Democrats can make hay out of it, they can say anything they want. They can accuse anybody of being responsible for it. They can demand investigations. They can cause all manner of grief to descend on whoever they want.  They are permitted to politicize these things. <\/p>\n

But a Republican ain\u2019t no how way.  They\u2019re not gonna put up with it.  All Trump meant was, “Hey, I\u2019ve been trying to tell everybody while you\u2019re out there focused on Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter is not focused on black lives killing other blacks.  Black Lives Matter doesn\u2019t even care, doesn\u2019t even notice.”  And he often uses Chicago where black-on-black murder and black-on-black crime is near record highs.  Certainly at the top of the heap in this country.  It just so happened that somebody with a measure of fame was killed on Saturday.  Trump points it out and then tries to turn it into a political advantage, and you would have thought he was the biggest reprobate on earth for doing this. <\/line><\/p>\n

Yet when it happens the other way around, when the left thinks they can score points with gun violence, they\u2019re out there trying to blame talk radio, they\u2019re trying to blame the Tea Party, they\u2019re trying to blame Sarah Palin, you name it, and that\u2019s perfectly fine.  So we have this bifurcated circumstance or situation where something that is real is not allowable.  You can\u2019t talk about it.  Black-on-black crime in Chicago, can\u2019t talk about it, can\u2019t bring it up, can\u2019t insert it into the presidential campaign. <\/p>\n

Why?  Well, because it undercuts Black Lives Matter, because it illustrates that black lives don\u2019t matter if they happen to be snuffed out by other blacks.  Because Black Lives Matter doesn\u2019t seem to be concerned about that.  But Trump\u2019s supporters are not outraged.  They\u2019re outraged at the reaction.  Trump\u2019s supporters don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with pointing out the obvious here.  And they don\u2019t think it\u2019s exploitation.  They think it\u2019s somebody saying the truth about something that generally isn\u2019t allowed, isn\u2019t permitted, to be spoken or said. <\/p>\n

And it just cements them to Trump even further.  (interruption) What, insensitive?  Insensitive?  You mean somebody talking about what happened is insensitive?  What about what actually happened?  What is that?  Is that something we\u2019re not supposed to mention or even notice \u2019cause it might undercut some Democrat interest group\u2019s political ambitions?  I mean, that\u2019s kind of insensitive, isn\u2019t it, to the victims?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
