This is a big deal for the theater world. You might think this is off off off off Broadway. No, no, this is not off off off off off Broadway. This is a big deal and corporations love being seen. It\u2019s connected to this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-236932\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/600-061317-Shakespeare-in-the-park-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/600-061317-Shakespeare-in-the-park-B.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/600-061317-Shakespeare-in-the-park-B-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>You have to have lived in New York and understand the New York theater and arts and croissant crowd, coupled with the corporate culture. It\u2019s how they all tell themselves and demonstrate to everyone else that they are cultured and sophisticated and supportive of the performing arts, some of the finest and most valuable elements of high society. The actors work in there for not very much and they do variations on Shakespeare plays.<\/p>\n<p>What they\u2019re doing now is Julius Caesar who, of course, as you know is assassinated by Et tu, Brute, as he\u2019s walking into the Senate. Well, guess who\u2019s playing Caesar in this adaptation? An orange headed Julius Caesar made to look like Donald Trump gets stabbed to death and killed and the audiences cheer, and it is clear it is President Trump being assassinated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/31\/kathy-griffin-illustrates-my-characterization-of-the-medias-political-assassination-of-donald-trump\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-236901\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Griffin-CNN-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Griffin-CNN-B.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Griffin-CNN-B-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>So we know that the left enjoys watching a Donald Trump character stabbed to death on stage. We know that the left enjoys Donald Trump cut to pieces by a thousand illegal leaks. We know that some on the left actually appreciated the art of <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2017\/05\/31\/kathy-griffin-illustrates-my-characterization-of-the-medias-political-assassination-of-donald-trump\/\">Kathy Griffin\u2019s decapitation of Trump <\/a>and that photo-op. We know that left, for the most part, will actively and loudly and proudly support the political assassination of Donald Trump. And as far as that goes, nothing is out of bounds.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is out of bounds. If collusion won\u2019t kill Trump, if obstruction of justice narratives will not kill Trump\u2019s presidency, then let\u2019s kill it on stage. And we\u2019ll call it art. Just like terrorism is workplace violence. Just like in the Reuters stylebook, terrorism doesn\u2019t exist. There isn\u2019t any terrorism at Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>No, it\u2019s art. The political assassination of Donald Trump is art. It\u2019s all in the phrasing. It\u2019s good to see just how ugly the left is when their masks of acceptability and sophistication are removed. The Democrat Party is attempting to erase boundaries between countries, and they are attempting to erase the boundaries of civility. The modern day left and Democrat Party is attempting to butcher the entire notion of decency, proprietary behavior, and civility.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no nuance here. The media ignores hypocrisy when practiced by Democrats, but there has been an accumulation of double standards that may overwhelm the media and their elected minions because these double standards are continuing to pile up on each other.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember when Sarah Palin was accused of being responsible for the shooting of Gabby Giffords and then I, secondarily, was similarly accused of this. Why? Well, on Sarah Palin\u2019s website, she happened to have a graphic of the scope in a rifle. And that graphic happened to be discovered right around the time Giffords was shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theamericanmirror.com\/american-express-refuses-pull-funding-nyc-public-theater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-236915\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AMEX.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"505\" height=\"354\"><\/a>So the left and its willing accomplices are running out saying that Palin inspired the shooting. And it was horrible. Remember what they did to her? They raked her over the coals. They called her insensitive. They said she was an accomplice to murder, an accomplice to shooting, it was horrible. These conservatives and their love of guns and their love of scopes and bull\u2019s-eyes and so forth, and Palin had nothing to do with it. And the left and the media excoriated her, and in any public shooting, be it a movie theater or a school shooting, the left first tries to find if the perp is a Tea Party member.<\/p>\n<p>Then they try to find out if the perp listens to talk radio. Then they try to find out if the perp watches Fox News. Then they try to find out if the perp voted Republican. They never find that out. The perps are always deranged either apolitical leftists who love Democrats or they\u2019re just insane lunatics. But they are never conservative right-wingers, listeners to talk radio, and they\u2019re never Sarah Palin acolytes.<\/p>\n<p>But the point is, Sarah Palin had nothing to do with Gabby Giffords being shot. And yet, when it happened, that\u2019s the only person the left blamed. Here Donald Trump is assassinated every night in Central Park on the stage, and the left applauds this and says it\u2019s art and wants more of it. Kathy Griffin decapitates Trump and there\u2019s some who think that went too far but privately they\u2019re very happy. And she had her own supporters urging her and egging her on and applauding her. Wasn\u2019t Alec Baldwin one of them? Didn\u2019t Alec Baldwin come out in her defense? Or am I confusing him with somebody else? Somebody came out in her defense.<\/p>\n<p>When the left actually portrays it, when they actually engage in symbolic assassination of Republican presidents&nbsp;&#8212; which they did frequently with Bush&nbsp;&#8212; it\u2019s applauded, it\u2019s great art, it\u2019s expanding the boundaries, it\u2019s testing the boundaries!
