On CNN, Cause of Chicago Violence Is – You Guessed It – The GOP
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 02/22/2013 6:24:28 PM PST by chessplayer

Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor in over 80 years. Democrats have controlled the Illinois governor’s mansion and both houses of the legislature for more than a decade, with Democrats ruling the Illinois House for 28 of the last 30 years. No matter, Chicago violence is the fault of Republicans. We learned that this morning on CNN Newsroom when anchor Carol Costello asked her “Talk Back” guests about Retired Lt. General Russel Honore’s suggestion to use National Guard troops to curb murders in Chicago. Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman astutely pinpointed the reason for Chicago’s carnage:

And let's be very clear about what's happening in Washington today and why it's undermining the city of Chicago, because there's a mindset now in our government, in Washington, from the Republican members of Congress, that sequestration is an acceptable way of doing business, that we can in fact engage in these massive irresponsible cuts that no one thinks is a logical approach to budgeting.

And that undermines law enforcement in our cities; it undermines so many education opportunities for our younger people and it does in fact -- in fact create an impoverished class of our society that leads to abuse, leads to violence and leads to more Chicagos.

Actually had Warren Buffet paid his taxes they would have all been spared,

But Obama’s mindset is to give Warren a medal instead.

Low-info voters, of course, will not stop to think that the killings in Chicago have been happening way before sequestration was thought up by BO and his crew.

This is how Dems get away with things: their people are just too stupid to put two and two together.

Perhaps Zimmerman can tell his boss Baraq that it was a bad idea when HE CAME UP WITH IT, then.

sequestration is obama’s brilliant solution. he came up with it. only tng you can do is blame repub’s for not sayig no to it, but then thy’d have been torn up and down by the very samne folks for opposing obama’s brilliant solution.

this is just blaming others for everything he democrats have and continue to screw up when they’re left in charge.

this is marxist. it’s right out of 1984.

white guys are goldstein. europeans coming to america are goldstein. law-abiding gun owners are goldstein. conservatives are goldstein. bible-believing christians are goldstein.

these people are just deflecting and projecting onto target groups they hate, and are useful to hate at the moment.

If we really that powerful, you think they would not dare cross us and give us exactly what we want.

I am an elected Official in my township and I am 100% sure that our Police will be working after the sequestration. There is a good reason for this, the local citizens pay them not the FEDS. How can the media allow the POTUS get away with these misstatements?

“And let’s be very clear...”

Coming from the mouth of a liberal, this translates as “The most heinous lie ever told is this....”

Baraq, WithHolder, and Rhambo could fix Chicago’s gun problem tomorrow if they would deputize the Million Moms for Gun Control and send them in to round up the illegal guns.

C’mon guys, do it “for the children”.

If you control the information people receive, you can tell them any lie you want and the other side can complain all they want but the general population has no knowledge of the truth.
