Why are fake bombs sent to Democrats more shocking than real ricin packages to Republicans?

Fake bombs designed not to go off, wrapped in a parody ISIS flag, sent to vicious high profile Trump-haters, scream “October surprise.”

Left-Wing Hate ‘Rap Sheet’ Reaches 600 Incidents of Violence, Harassment

Why are fake bombs sent to Democrats more shocking than real ricin packages to Republicans?

Democrats have a history of rhetoric that glorifies and encourages political violence

By Christopher Buskirk,
Remember that time American media was consumed with news that the deadly poison ricin – contact with the skin can be deadly – was sent to President Trump, Republican Senator Ted Cruz, Defense Secretary James Mattis, and the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson? Remember all of the introspective opinion pieces wondering if attacks on the president had gone too far? Or if claiming that Republican policies kill people, might not be an incitement to violence?
Me either. But who can remember all the way back to October 2?
There are a few other differences between then and now. The target then was the president, his Secretary of Defense, a senior naval officer, and a Republican Senator. And then, wasn’t there more than an implication that Republicans have it coming? After all, Democrats routinely claim that Republicans are not just cruel but that, as Nancy Pelosi said ‘millions, hundreds of thousands will die’ if Republicans get their way. What stronger language is there than that? And if you believe it, then violence against Republicans becomes a justifiable – perhaps even heroic — act of self-defense.
That was certainly the case when James Hodgkinson attempted the mass murder of Republican Congressmen and staffers playing softball last year sending Rep Steve Scalise and four others to the hospital. Hodgkinson was a volunteer for socialist Bernie Sanders who declared ‘It’s time to destroy Trump & Co.’ in one of many anti-Republicans social media posts. And CNN claimed in a laudatory profile that the violent left-wing paramilitary group Antifa ‘seeks peace through violence’ while its anchors Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon have both defended the group’s violent streak because, as Cuomo said, ‘fighting against hate matters.’ But such action is wrong not just for the obvious reasons, but because it is an attempt to appropriate more than one’s legitimate share of political influence. Every vote is supposed to count the same, but by physically imposing on an elected representative, agitators are trying increase their own power at the expense of their fellow citizens using fear rather than reason.
The other difference between this spate of packages and the attack on Trump, Cruz, Mattis, and Richardson it that the ricin attack was real and it was potentially deadly. The letters really contained ricin. Whereas, the packages sent to Democrat grandees including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, Maxine Waters, and Joe Biden were apparently inert and were made just to look dangerous according to recent reporting.
Since none of the packages detonated, and possibly were not able to detonate, Occam’s Razor demands that we confront the most likely choices: Either the sender intended harm but was grossly incompetent or the sender never intended harm and meant the packages to be a form of agitprop.
The notes that accompanied the packages read like parodies of how committed progressives think Republicans speak. They are laughably hyperbolic attempts to mimic redneck sensibilities and hillbilly patois including, ‘Git r done’, a dated homage to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour’s Larry The Cable Guy character. The notes play to every Democrat stereotype of the American deplorables who support Donald Trump. In case you didn’t know, both the Left and establishment Right, known affectionately as Conservatism, Inc., are sure that everyone who voted for Trump is married to a sibling – or wants to be – chews tobacco, and handles snakes during Sunday worship services. And these notes play off those caricatures.
I’m inclined to issue the standard disclaimer abhorring violence in politics. I do. Nonetheless there is something absurd about it. Why must I engage in this ritual cleansing? I have never encouraged or condoned political violence. Nor has anyone I know. So to be forced to disclaim it brings a whiff of guilt, as though conservatives are known for supporting violence so I better let everyone know I’m not one of those conservatives.  It’s a slander and an insult up with which we should not put. After all, it was Eric Holder, not Jeff Sessions, who told the faithful, ‘when they go low we kick ‘em’ and it was Obama telling his adoring fans to find people who disagree with them and ‘get in their face.’ And let’s not forget the Justice Editor of the hard left group Think Progress who advocated harassing Republicans ‘where they eat, where they sleep, and where they work’ less than 30 days ago.
Yet, on the day the first packages were delivered CNN ran an on-air headline saying that there was a ‘manhunt for serial bomber going after Trump’s targets.’ Get it? Democrats have a history of rhetoric that glorifies and encourages political violence, of winking at it when it comes from groups like Antifa, and then of claiming the unknown sender of the suspicious packages was doing Trump’s bidding.
Perhaps the people whose sense of their own moral superiority allows them to think that harassment, intimidation, and physical assault are justified by the higher calling of their own side should take some responsibility. But I supposed they would claim that was blaming the victim.
On the other hand, a cynic might wonder if these packages didn’t earn their recipients a certain amount of social standing or street cred within the Progressive universe. And if so, one would be forced to wonder if, given that the packages weren’t, in fact, dangerous, if they didn’t engender a certain amount of jealousy from Democrats who didn’t make the cut. After all, some presidential contenders like Bernie Sanders were snubbed – but maybe the prankster didn’t know which of the socialist senators three homes he should send it to.

Catherine Herridge reports some of the dysfunctional “bombs” have already been destroyed “rather than transport them to Quantico,” because they were “unstable.”
Thus destroying evidence, possibly of an accomplice agent, who may have built-in the faulty trigger, who knows?

Trump created the MAGA bomber. It’s his, he owns it. The tone at the top from the White House is fascism and hate speech. Just a few days ago he praised Congressman Gianforte who assaulted a journalist, in the midst of the Khashoggi murder investigation.

Exactly, the overtly biased MSM, the latter’s master the Democrats are a gaggle of double-standards and perfidy. Not to mention the insidious likes of ANTIFA, BLM, and others whose sole intent is civil-discord, revolution, a deep-seeded anti-Semitism, true anti-Constitutional Bolshevists. They are the seditionist ilk supported by the Democrats, Obama, Clinton, Soros, and the equally insidious MSM. I, for one, refuse to listen to the conjured rhetoric disseminated by the MSM and its master, the Democrats. I will listen to FOX, but it is not my sole news source.

America is on the cusp or perhaps is already in a Civil War, of the like, it has never experienced. One must cease bantering and badgering the EU apparent subjugation to Islam by concentrating on those bent on morphing this Republic into an autocratic state, the treasonous Democrats and its true believers, the MSM, and every aspiring Leftist-Fascist in this Republic.

Dems historically blame Republicans for what the Dems actually do. Now we will have Washerwoman back on the stage. Not so sure the perp isn’t a Deep State plant. Looks like the police have a file on him that goes back to 2002. A step too far for the Deep State.

Chris Cuomo brother the governor appointed pArole board that recently freed cop killer. Barack Obama’s friend is Bill Ayers who along with Bills wife is a domestic terrorist that used real bombs. Also remember OBama before leaving office commuted sentence which basically freed convicted FALN Puerto Rican terrorist that also used real bombs that killed people.

Something smells here…. He was totally ANTI-Republican to an extreme until 2016!
His extreme obsessiveness with Trump doesn’t add up nor does he have the MONEY to ride around in a van all decorated up like that. PRIOR to FB scrubbing….other odd facts emerged.

“Elsewhere on the internet, just seconds after Cesar Altieri Sayoc’s APPREHENSION, his public listing identified him as a Democrat. (Below) Moments later, the listing was UPDATED BY SOMEONE ELSE , changing his listing from Democrat, to “Republican.” While it’s been noted that MyLife is a publicly edited page, I captured his DEMOCRAT party affiliation within seconds of the announcement of his apprehension and then watched in amazement as his party affiliation changed from Democrat to Republican before my very eyes, capturing screenshots as quickly as I could to document the changes. (Photos)”

WHO CHANGED IT as he was being apprehended?

Since those facts will come to light more and more there is the danger that this guy may ‘commit suicide or have a heart attack’ before he can perhaps even talk one day.

Violence and revenge like that is part of the Clinton / Democrat culture. Disturbingly similar to Islam.

The whole thing smacks of a setup job a la the 1933 Reichstag fire in Germany that took place not long after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. As anyone who knows their history realizes, in its wake, Hitler and the Nazis immediately blamed the fire on Communists, and used the incident to rush through initiatives designed to delegitimize, suppress, crush and outlaw all political opposition parties in Germany. The Democrats of today are of the exact same mentality.

“Never let a crisis go to waste”, that allows changes that other wise wouldn’t be tolerated. There’re messing with the bull here, and they’re likely to get the horns. The president is old enough to remember what the ’60’s interlopers did here. That they took over an otherwise peaceful movement. They’ve been hiding underground ever since. Hiding in our institutions and our schools and are the Deep State.

Here’s some more squirrels, The LSM states he’s a “registered Republican”, Yet he has numerous FELONIES, Florida does not allow Felons to vote. His online crap started in 2016, he Lives in a Van DOWN BY THE RIVER (SNL), Dems like poor Patsies. The Lying FAKE Ford also a Dem Operative started her “prior life” stories due to Trump. Still STINKS of Brennan and Soros.

To be honest, I really do think it is more likely this is part of a complex plot to smear Republicans, in order to avoid another conservative victory after the Supreme Court nomination, so close to the mid-terms.

I for one am not buying the story that the FBI found the bomber so
quickly. In Florida, yet, damned close to Trump’s resort. This is the
corrupt FBI, remember, who probably had a “kick me” sign planted on the
patsy’s back before the first bomb was delivered. And it’s the FBI that
has the facilities to deliver the pipe bombs all over the place so fast
without USPS intervention, even with fake Fedex or UPS trucks for video
“evidence” of the private courier who delivered the bombs. I’m sure
Soros and CNN and the others have surveillance cameras that monitor
visitors and have records of the delivery. This is a set-up and I wish
Trump weren’t so gullible to buy it, and also congratulate the FBI who
are probably the inside perps themselves! Another “October surprise”!

If anyone was unclear just who the deep state members were, all you have to do, is look at the recipient’s roster of this last week. To send 10+ bombs to different people, with not ONE going off, has to make this guy either the stupidest “bomber” in history, or he’s in league with the intended targets. If the “bomber” truly were associated with ISIS, as the packaging allegedly contained, all ten bombs would have gone off. So……what’s going on?

October Surprise … regardless of the current truth or the truth yet to come …

The Mail Bomb Hoax of 2018 was a Gift of Biblical proportions to the Demokkkratic Party …

and if it comes to be that Cesar was connected to a paid dirty tricks operative of the Dems… it will no surprise.

If Cesar Sayoc was a Democrat who sent fake bombs to Republicans …

he would already be out on bond and…

charged with nothing more than misdemeanors for the hoax.

He would be facing 1 year max, 5 yrs probation, and a small fine. i.e. Nothing.

And any ‘rightie’ who claimed that it was ‘serious’ anyway – much less came out like Dir. Wray and claim these were real bombs … would be denounced fiercely with horrific and disgusting insults on CNN and PMSNBC.

There’s a common thread that shines through with all Trump supporters; it is limited mental capacity like the imbecile in the Oval Office. Maga bomber, synagogue murders, etc. You’re responsible for it all. But being a coward like you are, you won’t accept responsibility and you try to blame someone else.

You’re a pathetic excuse as a human being. Go buy yourself a “Dare to be Dumb” T-Shirt to go with your Red MAGA hat.

As we have seen from the actions of the Left, the threats of political violence are not an act of heroism nor self-defense, as stated in the article, but a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It is a cause and effect relationship, like the guy who drinks because he is a failure and then fails all the more because he drinks.

It is interesting to note that the counterfeit bomber is a convicted felon, meaning he can no longer vote, society’s way of telling someone their opinion doesn’t mean sh*t.

I do admit I got a warm and fuzzy feeling when I found out bombs were mailed to enemy No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6+.

I was expecting them to all pack and leave this country to go to mother Russia where they will all be safe. As long as they don’t criticize Pootin.
