    Bullshit. You stop.

    One sentence is what you call thoroughly covered? One sentence?


    "She subsequently told reporters that Trump is no more responsible for the attempted bombings than Sen. Bernie Sanders was responsible “for a supporter shooting up a baseball practice field last year,” referring to the June 2017 Alexandria, Va., shooting in which four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) were shot."
    But they hacks at Politico did manage to write this

    "The response from Trump and his allies glossed over much of Trump’s divisive rhetoric."​

    Of course the hacks at Politico failed to mention one word about the divisive rhetoric of Obama, Waters, Clinton, Schumer, Blumenthal, Harris, Warren, or the rest of the rest of the leadership on the left.

    The people seem mostly to agree with Trump.
    https://www.voanews.com/a/poll-trump-favorability/3756996.html

    But Trump, and this poll, are really talking about people's lack of trust in the corporate media, run by a handful of mega-conglomerates to advance their own interests. That's not the "free press".

    Poor , poor orange snowflake. Dirty Donnie can just sit and take it. The absolute, steaming, cow dung that he spews both on Twitter and in person to some of his lowbrow followers might very well have motivated them to this barbaric, primitive act of violence.

    You reap what you sow.

    I have no issues if Trump corrects the media when they are wrong, but to say the press is the enemy of the people is wrong

    especially when it's Trump that is wrong 99% of the time, and Trump deserves to be called out when he is...

    The majority of the MSM is the enemy of the people, because they sold their journalistic souls to generate revenue, rather than report objectively.

    Further, Trump is wrong 99% of the time?

    You just vaporized your credibility.

    They are enemies of the people if they do not accurately report the news.

    Brilliant strategy. Rabid Nationalist sends fake bombs to make it seem like they were targeting Democrats, knowing that Republicans would call it a false flag event.

    Normally I wouldn't respond to something like that, but I have to ask why you think I'm defending anyone?

    Democrats know victims well, if they try to get your vote they place a victim label on you and tell you it's the GOP's fault. Here's a list of the people democrats say are victims:

    Muslims
    Blacks
    Women
    Children
    Old people
    Sick people
    People without health insurance
    School kids
    Illegals
    The poor
    The middle class
    American workers
    Gays
    Trannys
    The mob in the caravan
    Minimum wage workers
    The ice caps
    The oceans
    The forests
    Our water
    Whales
    Dolphins
    Owls
    Our coastlines
    The planet

    That came to me in two minutes, I'm sure there are many more.

    They are Fake News Liars, trying to peddle Fake Hysteria over Fake Bombs. They fool no one.

    At one of his raucous rallies, Donald Trump gives a shout-out to a Republican congressman who body-slammed a reporter, and the crowd cheers. Eric Holder urges fellow Democrats to “kick” Republicans, and the audience eats it up.

    We could pile up lots of examples of such political rhetoric. This has been a staple of politics since . . . well, since there has been politics. And to suggest that we have now reached a demagogic nadir in American history is a steaming pile of crap.

    Incendiary political rhetoric does not make people commit mass-murder attacks.

    I knew this was fake as soon as I learned that we had as many as 9 bombs were sent and none exploded. Bomb construction is dangerous business. As terrorist Bill Ayers could tell you, incompetent bombers can just as easily blow themselves up in the construction process as blow the rest of us up in an attack.

    So in these fake bomb attacks being whipped by an irresponsible fake media, what was the objective?

    Unfortunately, we are not talking about the fake bomber’s objective. Our Fake News Media is trying to claim that another’s belligerent bombast may be responsible for the fake bomb attacks. The irresponsible anti-Trump media frames the case as if Trump incited the bomber.

    It is a ludicrous charge.

    Incitement case — in federal law, it is known as “solicitation to commit a crime of violence,” section 373 of the penal code. It is really hard to convict people of inciting violence, as it should be.

    We have a strong constitutional tradition of free speech. Our law reflects our keen awareness that offensive speech, speech that moves or even angers us, is protected expression. There is no right not to be agitated or otherwise inspired.

    It may be a great political talking point to blame violence on your opponent's, that you would like to silence, speech, maybe it even poll-tests well, but those that espouse it are little more than dung flinging monkeys.

    Here is what you know: You hear a barnburner of a speech. Maybe it gets you riled up. Maybe you are moved to work harder to defeat your political opponents. But people do not leave a political rally saying to themselves, “What he said about those bastards really ticked me off; I think I’ll go commit a mass-murder attack.”

    The political rhetoric we are hearing today is not incitement — not from the president, nor from, say, President Obama when he urged Democrats to bring a “gun” to the political battle if their opponents brought a “knife.”

    No one goes on a bombing spree because of something heard at a political rally. No normal person is moved to murder because he hears an ideological firebrand demonize his opponents. People who engage in mass-murder and other forms of terrorism are either committed to a violent movement or mentally disturbed. In neither event is that attributable to political rhetoric.

    If you want to condemn reprehensible speech because it is reprehensible, go for it. But let’s not pretend it’s something it’s not. Terrorism and murder are heinous offenses that we punish severely because they involve agency — the people who commit them make a conscious, individual decision, for which they are responsible. We should not, in order to score political points, trivialize such atrocious conduct by suggesting it has been triggered by purple political prose.

    Well, right-wing extremists commit the majority of domestic terrorism, but you could be right.

    Why does the far-right keep hitting itself with denial and excuses? :)

    I sure wish they'd just destroy one another if they must continue engaging in terror attacks.
