ABC News: Hillary 'May Have Been Right'—'Predicted' ISIS Would Use Trump in Video
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/02/2016 5:58:14 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If two weeks ago I claimed it was currently raining when it was not, but today it does rain, does that make my original statement a prediction, one that was "right?" No, if you're honest about it. But maybe yes if you're ABC News, and instead of me talking about rain, it was Hillary Clinton talking about Donald Trump in ISIS recruitment videos.

On today's Good Morning America, co-host Dan Harris suggested Hillary Clinton "may actually have been right" about Donald Trump turning up in ISIS videos. And during the subsequent segment, reporter Mary Bruce said Hillary "predicted" Trump "would become" recruitment fodder. There's only one hitch: Hillary hadn't "predicted" that ISIS would use Trump or that he "would become" fodder. On December 19th, during a Dem debate, Hillary claimed that ISIS was already using Trump in recruitment videos. But no terror group used Trump in a video before today, when he turned up in a video not from ISIS but from an al Qaeda-affiliated group.

if ISIS uses Trump in a video, it is because they fear him

It could be said that they have Trumpophobia.

Omitted from the discussion: ISIS was already running a recruiting video featuring Bill the fornicator Clinton, Obama and Bush.

ABC pushing the Clinton agenda.

Of course, there is a video of Trump as a recruiting tool. Except that the video came about AS A RESULT of Clinton’s allegation.

Many predicted such a video would be produced as soon as Clinton made her allegation.

A typical case of the cart pulling the horse.

and since Hilary was obviously lying when she said it, maybe ISIS is coming to her rescue.

Or maybe radical Muslims took the bait, knew they'd get massive free publicity, and made the video.

There's always been gobs of free press in this country for those who back liberal memes...

After her accusation, it only makes sense that they use him. In actuality they had used Bill Clinton, not Trump in a video when she voiced her lie.

Since the original statement Hillary made was proven false, the only logical conclusion would be that she’s the instigator.

The objective is to try and make it appear as if the terrorist are so in tune with the news the terrorist are picking up on news stories and carrying out their activities based on what is in the news.

Eventually they will try and work it back and claim the Benghazi terrorist picked up on the dems praising Peanuts Carter at their convention and planned the attack in Benghazi to mimic the Iranian hostage taking under Carter.

Trump can use this new recruitment video to his advantage. The fact that ISIS is using Trump instead of Hillary just demonstrates that he is the front runner in the race and that they fear him more than Hillary. So it feeds into Trump’s “I win” narrative. It is analogous to the Iranian hostage crisis during the 1980 election that dumped Carter for Reagan. Hillary is the 2016 version of Carter, the legacy liberal enemy-appeasing candidate.

I don’t know, really. I do know I have a few questions. First up is Why Benghazi? Why have a mission there? Why was there a CIA outpost there? What was the Gay Ambassador doing there? What is so secret about it that Obama, Hillary, the entire State Department and the media have to cover up? Why in God’s name did they never even try to send them any help?

It stinks to high heaven, frankly.

This is all smoke and mirrors...the Clinton Crime family does things like this, only problem they have is we are on to them and their sneaky tricks....

http://www.infowars.com/isis-recruitment-video-features-a-clinton-not-donald-trump/

This was made before the debate where Clinton said this..and Trump came out on Dec 21, 2015 and called her on it...

Now she had to go an make on to get back at him...

If we found this one, why couldn't we have found one with Trump or somebody else on it? Because it didn't exist...I grant you they have ‘scrubbed’ the inter net but there are those of us that have things on discs, saved just for this reason...

The Clinton Crime Family is going down in flames, and we are finally going to get rid of them...

As always, MSM gets it wrong. PIAPS didn't predict that ISIS would use Trump. The bitch said that ISIS already had used Trump in video for recruitment.

If they use him in a video, it’s a result of her lie. She didn’t predict, she caused.
