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.

Good Morning America claims Hillary “might have been right” when she “predicted” Trump would be used in terrorist videos. Problem: she didn’t “predict,” she claimed he was currently being used.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The Sociopath-of-State writes the script. The psyops are amplified by propagandists. Their audiences are programmed to accept their “willing suspension of disbelief” as truth. Traction is gained. Subsequent events deepen the division in the republic, put forth from the neo-marxist message. The table is tilted toward the totalitarian, as the lonely voices in opposition are lambasted by the liars. Now it’s a time for choosing.

It’s not a lie. It’s a per-dic-tion!

I’d be willing to bet that the same Rebels she supplied MANPADS to in Syria via Libya were contacted by her in a roundabout way and told to make a video.

>>when he turned up in a video not from ISIS but from an al Qaeda-affiliated group.

Which American TV network produced the unsolicited video for the group? /s

The adolescent minds of low information voters will accept this spin.

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

For Trump, this actions by enemies must be taken as a seal of approval

Then she should request a donation from ISIS to the Clinton Foundation for coming up with the idea.

WHEN did they make the video?

I’ll bet large it was either made or popularized AFTER Hil made her accusation.

The traitor gave them the idea

That should be the focus, not that she was right. She lied but planted the seeds by her hatred and dishonesty

Wasn’t ISIS that decided to show that the terrorists are as afraid of Trump as Hillary is...

When she claimed Benghazi was caused by a video, she immediately spent money on advertising in the middle east for a commercial where she repeated over and over again how horrible and anti muslim the youtube video was. It was an ad campaign to increase awareness of the video and foment unrest in the region. Basically she was trying to create a self fulfilling prophecy!

The “BEAST” probably got her dates mixed up and thought Huma already had the video done.

Hey, I hope they put us on the video too. I’d be proud to be recognized as the enemy. Trump, can handle it.

Hillary, is toast. It doesn’t matter what she says or pulls, she will not even beat Bernie.

Does that imply that they only want us to support Isis approved candidates?

If true it would be the first time in her long dreary, irritating, worthless life that she has been right on anything.

And we will probably find out that her campaign paid ISIS to run the “Trump” video.
