Washington Post's Karen Tumulty Compares Russian Trolling to Pearl Harbor Attack
Newsbusters ^ | February 19, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 02/19/2018 10:20:27 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Did you know that the Russian trolling during the 2016 election was so horrible and transformative that it compares to...the attack upon Pearl Harbor? While you chuckle over that observation, keep in mind that the absurd comparison was made by Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post.  

Tumulty's hostility towards the president comes out in the very title of her laughable February 18 premise, We’ve just hit a new presidential low:

I really hope they keep this nonsense up. Looks like they are doubling down.

Same crap Jerry Nadler said.

What was that thing again? Project Mockingbird and the 4AM talking points for the day broadcast?

As a young sailor fresh out of high school, ,my father was stationed at Pearl Harbor in 12-7-1941. He was there when the bombs rained down on him and his fellow servicemen, killing thousands and wounding so many more.

This was no Pearl Harbor

The Russians attacked Pearl Harbor? I thought it was the Germans.

You're right; Tumulty is wrong.

Hitler swept through Western Europe to influence the 1940 election, and gave us five more years of Franklin Roosevelt.

Karen Tumulty  hasn’t a clue of the massive destructive powers that swept over Pearl Harbor and the naval fleet on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. December 7th 1941. None whatsoever.

World War II United States Marine Corps veteran, author, and military historian Robert Leckie (A Helmet For My Pillow), once said that the driving force behind him writing “A Helmet For My Pillow” was the theatrical play “South Pacific.” He stated that when he left the theater he vowed to write a book that would educate people about war in the Pacific and that is was not a fanciful musical production.

And add the DALLAS MAYOR, who forbids the NRA Convention scheduled there, at Kay Bailey Center.

Why? Because of JFK!

BALONEY!

9/11 was the 21st century's Pearl Harbor attack. America responded very differently, having succumbed to the decadence that is destroying Western Civilization.

and 9/11.

Yet she is against responding as if it was the same as those things.

If it was Pearl Harbor and 9/11 in one then wasnt Obama a p...y for responding with mere economic sanctions?

Wonderful, wonderful! Typical example of a product of children being committed to a government propaganda asylum...

Another example of parental criminal child abuse...

These criminally abusive acts by parents will continue until:

What a GD idiot with an idiot editor approving this crap.

If this trivial crap is 'Pearl Harbor', by comparison Pakistan used the Awans to drop multiple nukes on NYC and DC. Why isn't this stupid reporter along with all of WaPo screaming about that?

Don't tempt the idiot. There are reporters out there writing like this is an act of war.

Hillary, Obama and co were bellicosely rattling sabres at Russia leading up to the 2016 election.
Even mentioning “war” a few times.
One of the things that was used to needle Hillary was her drumbeat for war with Russia, the mocking ads “shutup and go to war son, mommy needs her female president” rather pointedly made light of it.
I’d say that Hillary, Obama and co had planned the “russia russia russia” narrative from the beginning.
I’m also willing to bet that they were stupid enough to actually go to war with Russia in hopes of heading off any inquiries into uranium 1 etc if Hill had actually gotten in office.

Karen Tumulty’s thirst for shame knows no bounds. The lack of any comparable damage between the two events has been pointed out by many. Ok, but are they comparable as “sneak attacks”? No, absolutely not. The whole Russian Troll Farm story was told by a Russian journalist in an online business magazine before the election, and Radio Free Europe covered it as well in something like 2015. This was reported in a big greasy newspaper yesterday — the WAPO. WAPO editors don’t read their own paper?

The CIA and other IC entities have divisions that read open source information constantly. Why did the US IC fail to catch this Russian social media “threat” unfolding pre-election? They only had YEARS of notice. One day the public is going to realize how worthless all these trillion$ operations really are.

The FB ad buys BTW, took place *after* the election.

How the Russian trolls hurt Hillary? No one in the fake news media or Mueller Camp is bothering to explain.

Trump made them *do* it. (cough)

And where pray tell, is the crime?

Journalists are the stupidest people in our country along with politicians and the “average” American voter. Basically they are a single entity of American rot.
