Heilemann: Trump's War On Media "Incitement" For An Oklahoma City Bombing

Heilemann: Trump's War On Media "Incitement" For An Oklahoma City Bombing Posted By Ian Schwartz On Date February 20, 2017

Former Bloomberg TV host John Heilemann said Monday on MSNBC's Morning Joe that he is worried that President Trump is inciting "elements in our country that may go ahead and do something" on the scale of the Oklahoma City bombing. Heilemann is afraid that when Trump calls the media the "enemy of the people," that someone may take that "seriously" and use it as a motive to commit an act of domestic terror.

"He has been waging war on the press for a while but I have to say this language is really, you know, far outside... of what is the standard Republican playbook," Heilemann said.

"I think most of the people at this table were alive, politically conscious, at the time of the Oklahoma City bombings," Heilemann said Monday. "And every time that Donald Trump uses this kind of language I kind of worry that it's an incitement to elements in our country that may go ahead and do something when the president of the United States calls the press the enemy of the people and they might take that seriously."

The violence of Bob Creamer, or UC Berkeley or the hundreds of attacks on Trump supporters, or the shooting of police, or the physical attack on Trump’s Secy of Education, that has nothing to do with psychopathic Democrat rhetoric.

That is why the MSM is no longer believed, they see the speck in your eye but fail to see the beam in their own.

The media have called Trump a Nazi, a fascist, Hitler, a racist, a white-supremacist, a moron, a totalitarian, a threat to democracy, and an anti-Semite, among many other horrible things, and they are worried that harsh rhetoric might encourage violence? Do they ever object when people - even young children - smash piñatas made to look like Trump?

Incite who, Heinemann? Not Trump supports.

It is the "Resist" Left who are causing all the rioting and violence in the country now. Trump supporters are not taking to the streets to destroy things in their temper-tantrums over Hillary's loss.

There is some serious projection going on here.

Liberals alwasy accuse others of what they want to do.

They have been deliberately doing everything they can to encourage people to go out and try to assassinate trump.

Strange....it’s the libs that are rioting, yet they try to blame trump for violence and terror that has not yet occurred?

Maybe the libs have a plan in place for real violence and damage.

I am sure that since 2015 there are more killers that could be on an updated list of Democrat murderers.

"That is why the MSM is no longer believed, they see the speck in your eye but fail to see the beam in their own."

I believe that it is the media who are encouraging violence, and I use the same criterion they apply to Trump, i.e., if you don't condemn it, you support it.

They offer tepid opposition to actual violence, e.g., "the demonstration was mostly peaceful," or "the violence was committed by 'outsiders' who weren't actually part of the demonstration," thereby giving cover to the fact that it is THE LEFT who is perpetrating the violence.

They fail to condemn things like "punch a Nazi," "I've fantasized about blowing up the White House," or suggestions that Trump has a sexual interest in his own daughter.

They do not criticize parties where people - including celebrities and young children - smash Trump piñatas with iron bars.

They do not criticize fellow journalists who have suggested that violence against Trump might be justified.

They do not object when the Secretary of Education is blocked from entering a school and requires a special bodyguard.

They are silent when Trump supporters are physically attacked, breaking their silence (sometimes) only when conservative media have made it impossible for them to ignore the story.

They do not object when conservative speakers - not just Milo - are prevented from speaking or are surrounded by angry mobs.

The list could go on almost indefinitely.

And in other news:

Trump Was Right: “Failing New York Times” Looks to Be in Serious Decline

Jim Hoft Feb 21st, 2017 7:48 am 57 Comments

President Donald Trump called the New York Times (NYT) – the “Failing New York Times” in his press conference on Thursday and in his speech in Florida on Saturday. The President called the NYT ‘Failing’ for some time, including during his rallies when running for President.

The President is right. The NYT is failing miserably and is in serious financial trouble. The NYT’s financials for 2016 show massive decreases in the bottom line (net income) for the 4th Quarter and for the year. The NYT’s 4th Quarter net income was $37m, down from $52m in the 4th Quarter of 2015 for a 28% decrease. The NYT’s annual 2016 results were worse at $29m versus $63m in 2015 for a year over year decrease of 54%. The Times blamed the poor results on a “pension settlement charge, lower print advertising revenues and higher costs”.

Thanks, Key Largo. It is the left that might perhaps be thinking of an Oklahoma-style bombing. We on the right are just so happy to have a President who loves America.

The anger and out-of-control emotions are all on the left.

Jayna Davis,s “The Third Bomber” (isbn 0-7852-5103-6)has a much larger look at the OKC Bombing, and it would be a shame to let a liberal idiot use the bombing without the real connections of the Clinton Justice Department’s coverup of the presence and guidance of a network of Iraqis in the bombing of the Arthur B. Murrah Federal building. A Iraqi, Hussain Al-Hussaini,was seen running from the Murrah building at 5:30 the morning of the bombing, yet Atty. Gen. Reno never allowed agents to question those witnesses. In the aftermath of 9/11,FBI Special Agent Dan Vogel stated, information the Jayna Davis had gathered on the OKC bombing and the secret network of Iraqi military veterans of the Gulf War could have prevented 9/11.These military trained explosives experts were brought here under Clinton’s International Rescue Committee, a organization that brought Iraqi soldiers to the USA in order to help them get a new life. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?

So, their side calling for the assassination of a sitting president from the media is not over the top? Their side rioting isn’t over the top? Their side vowing not to let any single positive story about Trump or the administration escape their editorial quarantine isn’t over the top?

These monsters have practiced sedition for months now and call Trump’s statement that they’re the enemy over the top? Screw them and every one of their followers and sycophants.

Oklahoma City

I can't count the times on message boards where libs have called Timothy McVeigh a "fundamentalist Christian" when, according to McVeigh himself, he was a lapsed Catholic who was agnostic or atheist on the subject of religion.

the reference to cockroaches brought a certain Bloom County cartoon strip to mind.
Mind control over humans by cockroaches was the theme.
