Love Trumps Hate?  Censorship from the left

There is a saying the left has been howling from the rooftops since November 9th: “Love Trumps Hate.” Sounds loving and affirming and inclusive, right? Well in practice it is something quite different. November 9th started a new spate of marches and screaming and what can only be described as tantrums from the losing side in a nasty election. Then there are performers who wanted to work the Inaguration. Like, loathe or despise the President elect all you want but this is a venue and artists are supposed to be able to perform for anyone they want, right? Well that would be a no. Note the expression on the faces of the howling mob of marchers is anything but loving and affirming and inclusive. Psychology Today has a nice article about the inconsistent message from the left here. And it gets better and better.

Jennifer Holliday backed out of singing at a concert for the inauguration per the LA Times for reasons listed here

Holliday, best known for her Tony-winning role in Broadway’s “Dreamgirls,” faced pressure from her gay, lesbian and black fans when it was announced she would sing at a Thursday concert at Washington’s Lincoln Memorial.

A concert. Singing at this concert is now verboten. Even if the concert is for you know the people.

“I didn’t see it as singing for Trump; I saw it as singing for the people on the mall,” Holliday told the AP.

Well yeah, there are people of all political persuasions attending a once in a lifetime event. Maybe this is a way to show love trumps hate?

The performer, who most recently starred on Broadway in “The Color Purple,” said she was hurt by the angry backlash, which included calls to boycott her music. Others called her “Uncle Tom,” and there was even a suggestion that she take her own life.

Love on the left = I kill you?

Guess that love to liberals means death threats, racial insults and boycotts? Inclusion, affirmation and love are oozing from these sentiments. And Ms. Holliday got the message.

“It just really made my heart drop to my feet,” Holliday said. “How could I have this much hate spewing at me, and I haven’t even done anything? I guess it’s not like those old days when political views were your own and you had freedom of speech. We live in a different time now, and a decision to go and do something for America is not so clear-cut anymore.”

Loving, inclusive and affirming, right?

 

So this is what Love Trumps Hate Means:  Censorship, threatening anyone who does not play by the rules the Left wants to shove down our throats with death?  Boycotts?  Yeah that sure is inclusive, affirming and loving.

    Excellent Gail! As I mentioned in an earlier post… this whole Love Trumps Hate thing should be flipped on its head. Its basically like the Clintons definition of “is”. And in this case its Hate Trumps Love unless you fall in lockstep as I demand.

      Exactly Nina. If the left wants respect or a discussion of their beliefs, how about they stop burning down all the things and start talking adult to adult? I will listen and we might actually agree. But threats? That makes me dig my heels in deeply.

    These nasty people dream of Robespierre and the Reign of Terror.

  • GWB says:

    They think the Valentine’s Day Massacre must be something to emulate because Valentine’s Day is about love, right?
