DIABOLICAL: CNN Smears Gun Owners, Trashes ‘Diversionary’ Speech by Racist Trump
newbusters.org ^ | 8/5/2019 | Curtis Houck

Posted on 08/05/2019 10:04:54 AM PDT by rktman

On Monday morning, CNN Newsroom made sure everyone recognized its hatred for President Donald Trump, his supporters, the Second Amendment, and anyone looking to unify the country in the wake of the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings. If you weren’t on board with those terms or approved of the President’s Monday morning speech, there was no place for you aboard Team Jeffrey Zucker.

Along with blaming the President and his supporters, journalists also slammed the National Rifle Association (NRA) as seemingly the one group that’s anthetical to keeping Americans safe and even in particular blamed Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) for having “rhetoric” that was similar to the El Paso monster.

Co-host and former Obama official Jim Sciutto got things started, almost immediately pivoting to complaining that the President didn’t push for sufficient gun control. Co-host Poppy Harlow then touted (as others would) the misleading statistic about “90 percent of Republicans supporting” expanded back ground checks and peddled a lie about a repealed government regulation about the mentally ill and access to firearms.

I am really sick and tired of everything and everyone getting the label “racist”. Trump is not racist, most of us are not, and criticism of anything and anyone need not be first processed through racist filter. Shame on people for making racist attacks like this. All they prove is their shallowness, their own bigotry, and their own bias.

Most of these media outlets are sounding like something out of Nazi Germany and the ‘Vőlkischer Beobachter’. They are frothing at the mouth and spewing hate and vitriol on a level that begs the question are they news or are they political weapons? I am leaning to the later.

The only way that CNN would ever be happy is if they woke up to the news that President Trump had been assassinated

The “short answer” of WHY the DIMocRATS & their allies in the so-called “mainstream media” continually paint evermore Americans as “racists” is that they have NOTHING ELSE.

The simple TRUTH is that the 2020 General Election, absent MASSIVE VOTE FRAUD, is LOST for the DIMocRATS & the FAR LEFT already. = Presuming that the election is even half honest, the DIMs will lose in a MASSIVE LANDSLIDE.

JUST ONCE, I’d like for someone who claims Trump is “racist” to name one single, solitary thing he’s actually done or said that IS racist.

They can’t, so they just continue to try to divide the country by beating the same, tired, worn out drum

It’s really tiring but moreso frustrating that there’s a single person in the country that actually believes it.

Paper ballots! Give us paper ballots. Any other form of election voting is ripe for hacking and lacks integrity. You cannot re-count an electronic vote. Give us paper, heck even those infamous chads.

It is truly unbelievable how dumb these media people are. We do not have a gun problem, we do have a mental health problem. We need more people with concealed carry permits. Many lives could be saved if the states would make it easier for law abiding citizens to obtain a concealed carry permit after a reasonable background check. If one good guy with a gun had been available at any of these multiple shootings, many lives could have been saved. As it is, politicians make the average law biding citizens easy prey for the mentally ill person intent on murdering people. It is long past time for citizens to demand that politicians respect the right to protect themselves and their families as provided under the 2nd Amendment.

And what kind of gun did the Unabomber use?

Amy Khlobachar said that other nations had crimes but the USA had mass gun crimes. The left wants to always make the problem about guns but as I said above, what kind of gun did the Unabomber use? He didn't use any gun he learned to make bombs. Knives have been used in mass killings in Japan. Mass killings can be accomplished through other means besides guns.

And what about motive? The El Paso killer mentioned race as part of his motivation but other mass killers do not mention race. Mass killers are deeply disturbed and not thinking in a reasoned way they do things that very few people would do usually to people who are of the same race as them and using whatever means they can find.

Why don't liberals talk about murders throughout the world not just murders involving guns. Perhaps we could get to the heart of the problem instead of fixating on the weapon.

Incidentally I am one of those people who believes that the deep state might be involved in this as it always ends up with an attack on gun rights and the 2nd amendment.

Have you ever heard of AL FRANKEN, LEFTIST DIMocRAT & US Senator of MN, who was “elected” by “finding boxes of forgotten ballots” for weeks after Election Day??

I’ll take our VERY secure “old school” voting machines any day over paper ballots, as they cannot be “hacked”, as our county’s machines are connected to NOTHING..
(FYI, I’m a long-serving Presiding Election Judge in Bexar County, TX.)

I was election officer in Virginia years ago. I hated the electronic machines even then as there was zero way to ensure a voted counted, counted correctly, and no way beyond re-reading the machine total, to recount. Yes, paper can be corrupted but put enough measures in place, and that can be minimized. “Trust Us” on electronic is not good enough.
