This election remains more heated than any other in modern history – and for many, it has become a call to arms, even if only metaphorically.

Despite the fact that DNC operatives have been exposed as the ones inciting violence at rallies – Robert Creamer and Scott Foval for example – and working overtime to bus in illegal voters and rig the vote – the media is going out of its way to paint Trump supporters and grassroots Americans as the ones plotting violence.

Most recently, they are latching onto comments made by former congressman Joe Walsh, now a conservative radio host, who suggested he would ‘pick up a musket’ if Trump loses the election.

Walsh tweet: If Trump Loses, I'm picking up my musket. You in?

Did Walsh mean to imply violence? That is certainly how the media is portraying it, as his comments spark controversy and fuel fire to the debate over the nearing election.

The irony that his commentary drew from the imagery of founding-era patriots who stood up to tyranny was deeply lost on the left, who see opponents to Hillary in black and white terms – racist, xenophobic, utterly deplorable and inherently violent.

CNN followed up, asking Walsh what he meant by statement.

Former Rep. Joe Walsh appeared to call for armed revolution Wednesday if Donald Trump is not elected president.

Walsh … did respond to CNN’s Jake Tapper via Twitter when he asked: “What exactly does that mean?”

“It means protesting. Participating in acts of civil disobedience. Doing what it takes to get our country back,” he responded to Tapper.
