Boston Marathon Bombing from the NPR perspective.
The Virginian ^ | 4/20/2013 | Moneyrunner

Posted on 04/20/2013 3:49:48 PM PDT by moneyrunner

Diana Temple-Raston in NPR’s All ThingsConsidered blames the Boston Marathon bombing on Right Wingers celebrating Hitler’s birthday.

Transcript:

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED APRIL 17th. Diana Temple-Raston provides insight into the Boston investigation.

This thinking as we’re reporting is that this is a domestic extremist attack. And officials are leaning that way largely because of the timing of the attack.

April is a big month for anti-government and right wing individuals. There’s the Columbine anniversary. There’s Hitler’s birthday. There’s the Oklahoma City bombing. The assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco.

So according to NPR we Right Wingers were having a party celebrating Hitler’s birthday, feeling bad about Columbine, sorry that Tim McVeigh was executed, crying in our beer about the death of David Koresh, so we decide to blow up Boston.

You really can’t parody these people because their fantasies burst though the outer limits of our imagination. Do they actually believe that the people who read National Review or listen to Rush Limbaugh know or care when Hitler had a birthday or wish to celebrate it?

And what the hell is right-wing about a couple of nut-job Goths in Columbine who decided to act out their rage about being rejected by the “cool kids?”

If committing acts of terror to try to bring down the government you hate is the mark of being a right-winger, that must make old Joe Stalin a right winger for this part in 1907 Tiflis bank robbery. Proving that NPR is not just delusional but ignorant.

This always amazes me. They have about a 99% chance of getting it right, since the right-wing, conservative, Christian veterans who cling to God and guns are by far the most likely suspects in terrorist attacks, but somehow it almost always turns out to be a liberal anarchist or a Muslim - the two least likely groups of suspects. What can I say but this decade’s favorite word for journalists: “Unexpected”!

At first I thought this was strange then it hit me. This is satire. Looked again and couldn’t see anything to show it was.

I have known a couple of guys who were a bit odd who think everything is a conspiracy etc. but these liberals are crazier than a drunk bat. I mean truly insane.

Can anyone enlist a third party into the NRA? You know, like a gift membership without the person aware of the gift?

What we absolutely have to understand is that they don't care if they are wrong. In fact, they know they are wrong most of the time. What they want is a window of opportunity, during the uncertainty, to smear conservatives with no consequences. Its the big lie. If you tell the lie long enough, people will believe it. If the search went on for a month, they would have had a month to beat into the public's head ten thousand times that tea party people are violent.

When they finally come out with the true criminal, they then go on to the next story.

Howie Carr has been my go-to-guy about all of this.

I suppose she could be evil and crazy at the same time. Actually evil, crazy and stupid.

FR is funded solely by the freedom loving folks who love and use it.
According to our stats report, approximately 349,000 visits yesterday
from 234,000 unique visitors and over 1.7 million page views.
Nowhere near the size of Drudge, of course,
but people from all over the nation flock to FR
for the latest breaking news and conservative viewpoints.

Diana Temple-Raston reminds me of the punch line to a joke about a wide mouthed frog who crossed a river on the back of an alligator. It didn’t end well for the frog.

Satire has to contain a fair amount of truth. Dina (not Diana) Temple-Raston's liberal hate-fantasy is simply a lie from start to finish. Since it has absolutely nothing to do with reality, it fails to qualify as satire.

Hitler’s birthday? My Hallmark calendar doesn’t have that annotated. I bet she knows Mao and Uncle Joe’s b-day.

There’s the Columbine anniversary.

As I posted on another thread - HTF does Columbine have anything to do with the dread "right wing politics"?

These people just make stuff up out of thin air, and no one ever directly challenges them.
