CNN commentator: Media will share blame when Donald Trump 'institutes internment camps'
Washington Post ^ | March 6, 2016

Posted on 03/08/2016 4:14:55 AM PST by VitacoreVision

As Donald Trump added to his delegate total on Saturday with primary and caucus victories in Louisiana and Kentucky, CNN commentator Sally Kohn offered a grim forecast of a Trump presidency — and suggested the media will be culpable.

"There is a fine line between covering a candidate and amplifying a candidate," Kohn, a progressive activist, said during the cable channel's coverage of Saturday voting. "And I’m sorry, but, yes, Donald Trump may be the Republican front-runner, I still think we’re giving him way too much attention in proportion to the other candidates who also had victories to celebrate tonight. I’m worried. When he institutes internment camps and suspends habeas [corpus], we’ll all look back and feel pretty bad."

Shortly after making those remarks on the air, Kohn took to Twitter to remind critics — who were quick to dismiss her hypothetical — that Trump previously cited the World War II-era internment of Japanese Americans as a precedent for his plan to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

Sally Kohn is a leftwing communist and homosexual.

Just more marxist propaganda from the usual suspects...

Her basic premise-that he is being amplified above and beyond all others-is indisputably true simply based on statistics as to time as the subject of broadcasts.

By this “logic”, the MSM should be indicted
as co-conspirators FOR EVERY RAPE, FOR EVERY MURDER.

I have no doubt that the media will be culpable in whatever comes. But...internment camps?

CNN commentator Sally Kohn is out of her friggin' mind.

The media is simply pushing the limits in order to scare the populace. They want us to think that Trump is a Nazi.
We are no longer buying this baloney folks...

If we don't let them in...no need for a camp.

Ted is saying the same thing...no immigrants from any Muslim country....instead of Muslim specific. Ted is soooooo clever. I think he may already have written legislation.

Better yet: round up every member of MS-13 here illegally and put them on their own island for 5 years. At least they won’t kill each other.

The Clinton News Network teaming up with the Washington Compost.

Their fear is palpable.

Oh good. Let’s turn an unbiased FBI investigation into a “Republican” witch hunt. These clowns cannot help but screw things up.

This is why you have to back Trump. A Trump Presidency will make a of these fools look stupid.

A bad as you think the MSM is, it is really 100 times worse.

When people ‘on the right’ speak of internment camps they are considered anti-American conspiracy nutjobs.

When the Left speaks of them, they are valid warnings of the looming horrors of “fascist” Republicans. No mere flip of the “Red Scare” paranoia of Communism. Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN validates this opinion.

In the 1980s, REM singer Michael Stipe was unwilling to come out of the closet as a gay man because he says he was afraid that Ronald Reagan was gping to put him in one of the gay internment camps to shield the public from AIDS.
