Suspicious packages sent to Clinton, Obama, CNN

Actually, it is not slander to report that the bomber was going after people Trump routinely targets.

Yes, I'm sure your attitude would be the same if Bernie's name was inserted into every reference of Scalise, insinuating he's responsible. Okay, let's dial up the hypocrisy knob and revisit all this in a year and see where we are.

Bernie never advocated doing ANYTHING violent as Trump does, and Bernie doesn't have a list of people he routinely demeans and calls names either. Give me a break.

Now, if someone who supports Eric Holder (kick them) comes along and does something violent you might have a leg to stand on...

Politicians should never advocate any violence, even in jest or metaphor. Holder is just as wrong as Trump is and erroneously thinks that sinking to his level will get him (or his party) somewhere. It won't.

This is total horse squeeze. Trump cracking jokes about bodyslamming a reporter is no more violence inspiring than Bernie saying that Republicans are killing millions. The latter may very well be more likely to inspire violence. Or branding them rape apologists or any of the other bazillion things. On what basis can you assert otherwise? This is precisely why outliers are filtered. This one guy isn't proof of anything. Just as the guy who shot Scalise isn't. If large numbers of Trump supporters were going around body slamming reporters, maybe you'd have a point.

You don't see the difference between saying the bomber was going after people Trump routinely targets (factually correct even if the wording is a little biased), and these type of conspiracy theories that accuse the democrats and the media of coordinating evil plots. Seriously, how many conservatives actually think the democrat party leaders meet in a secret bunker and plan out stuff like this?

Rush Limbaugh

"[Democrats] have thrown every trick at Republicans. Their media acolytes are doing their tough lifting for them — and none of it, none of it, none of it has worked. So what would you do? Democrat operative, best way to turn all of that around? How about a day like this? How about a day like this where you create a scenario where it looks like the mobs are on both sides.
"It looks like the Republicans have a mob, too, or at least an 'insaniac.' There's some Republican out there sending bombs to decent, good Democrats and media people — former Democrat presidents and the harmless people at CNN. Wouldn't it serve your ... up here if you're a Democrat operative to make it look like the Republicans are a bunch of insane lunatics and have some mobsters on their side as well? The very same people the media says Republicans hate the most! Isn't this interesting?"

Dinesh D’Souza

“I hear the FBI squeezed lemon juice on the suspicious packages and a very faint lettering revealed a single word: DEMOCRATS.”

Michael Savage

it’s a high probability that the whole thing is set up as a false flag to gain sympathy for the Democrats.

Candace Owens

I’m going to go ahead and state that there is a 0% chance that these “suspicious packages” were sent out by conservatives. The only thing “suspicious” about these packages, is their timing. Caravans, fake bomb threats—these leftists are going ALL OUT for midterms

Tell that to Cesar Sayoc Jr. .

So they have to do the very thing that Trump tells them to? Hmmm. Didn't one of Trump's supporters sucker punch someone after Trump talked about punching people in the face?

Yeah, that happened.

[_grindael]

And I'm sure that Trump calling the media the "enemy of the people" and his tweet of him beating up a CNN logo had nothing to do with Sayoc mailing them a bomb.

And who is making and distributing the pictures of Hillary with a target on her head that he had on that van? Sure, it was the Democrat mob!

Good thing he didn't know how to make bombs that worked correctly.

[_Kevin Graham]

own what? that a Trump supporter was a lousy mail bomber?

I'm not sure what's most disturbing about this response.

That subgenius is more perturbed that this guy doesn't know how to professionally design bombs, than the fact that he was willing to blow up Democrats...

Or that subgenius is familiar enough with making bombs to know that this guy is bad at it.

More Stupublican spin. How does pointing out that the Side B is killing millions, encourage anyone on Side A to kill? Makes no damned sense.

Branding people rape apologists doesn't inspire violence either, it is just basic reality when an entire political party gleefully supports a man who sexually assaults women ( I could be referring to any number of known Republican offenders).

This one guy is proof that Trump's rhetoric is dangerous. If Trump had never attacked the media and continued to attack Hillary, insisting she's a criminal and a threat to America, this nimrod wouldn't haver a van with anti-media stickers all over it and he wouldn't feel Democrats were a threat to him. But he worships Trump, and this is all Trump ever talks about.

You're desperately trying to perform any kind of mental gymnastic to come up with a parallel, but the problem is no parallels exist and you're brain isn't that limber.

In related news, recently a man groped a woman on a plane and said it was OK because the President said so. How can a society who put this man in office argue with that?

[_grindael]

The guy who shot Scalise was calling Trump a "traitor" and some Democrat Leaders were calling him that. It probably did influence him. That is why Politicians should be careful with their rhetoric. They should stick to letting the IC do it's work and hold off until he is done.
