Lawrence O’Donnell smirks while essentially accusing Trump of mass murder
American Thinker ^ | March 15, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

Two things are necessary to analyze information: (1) perspective; and (2) recognizing source bias. These tools have never been more useful than now, in a time of coronavirus.

We are not the first to suggest that Democrats in and out of the media are exploiting coronavirus for political benefit. Having failed to take President Trump down with the Russia hoax and the faux impeachment, they’re grabbing on to coronavirus, with none more openly virulent than MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, a grinning jack-o-lantern of doom.

Here’s some perspective:

On March 13, 2020, when President Trump declared a national emergency and mobilized the entire government to fight coronavirus, there were 1,629 cases and 48 people had died. As Sharyl Attkisson detailed, all but five were over 70, with several over 80. Four others were younger but with underlying medical conditions. Seventy-seventy percent of the deaths were in Washington State.

The data were different on October 26, 2009, when President Obama declared a national emergency because of H1N1, which had then been ravaging America for seven months. For a direct comparison to coronavirus, two months after H1N1 got its start, 43,677 people were infected and 302 people had died. By the time Obama announced a national emergency, CNN reported even higher numbers albeit in a calm, rational fashion:

President Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the “rapid increase in illness” from the H1N1 influenza virus.

[snip]

Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

H1N1 originated in Mexico, but Obama left the border open – and did so with media encouragement.

We here at FR knew the left would not let this opportunity go to waste. Nothing would please them more than the deaths of millions of people, especially in New Orleans and Puerto Rico, that they will blame on Trump. This is preparing the way for that accusation.

File this under things I learned while looking up other things...

Ol' Larry was married to the actress, Kathryn Harrold until 2013, had one kid.

Meanwhile, their heroes, the Clintons, really ARE mass murderers.

Larry O’Donnell makes other sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome look like pikers. I can’t think of any of them who are more unhinged than him. By comparison, he almost makes Alyssa Milano and Bette Midler seem only slightly insane. Almost.

O’Donnell is the most vile guy on Cable. His vitriolic comments exceed any semblance of Journalism. He is Nasty, Angry and a disgrace to the public airways. I am surprised that anybody watches him.

People such as the likes of Lawrence O'Donnell have allowed themselves to be pawns of the devil. This world is not our home for believers in Christ. For non-believers . . .there is another place.

(2 Peter 3:8-13) But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

I couldn’t agree more, O’Donnell is unhinged a good part of the time.

I still remember the fit he had over the Swift Boat thing.

Do you remember Keith Olbermann? I guess he has been banished to the Graveyard for Crazy Pundits. That’s where O’Donnell belongs.
