Bombs Intercepted in Mail, Sent to Clintons, Obamas, and CNN;
One Report Said They Are Similar to the Pipe-Bomb Style Device Found in George Soros' Mailbox

Now that leftwingers are being targeted by political violence, I think it's going to be time to talk about "cooling the rhetoric" of Trump and all conservatives again.

Note that during the previous spates of violence, including ricin threats and baseball parks being shot up, there was no talk by the media of the need for Democrats (including those in the media) to "cool" their own rhetoric, such as "people will die" if Republican Proposal X is passed.

In fact, CNN personnel went out of their way to excuse leftwing violence. Chris Cuomo asserted that not all punches were equal -- Antifa punches were better than conservative punches -- and Don Lemon celebrated the restaurant mobbing of Republicans. Brooke Baldwin argued passionately that Democrat mobs were not mobs, and to say an angry, intimidating mob was a mob was a "Republican talking point."

But now -- oh, how things will change today. We will have many hours of moral instruction from our Ruling Caste about how now it's time to start tone-policing, and that tone-policing will begin, and end, with telling Republicans they have to stop making political arguments or else People Will Die.

Jake Tapper... had on an "expert" -- Josh Campbell, I think -- who asserted that catching the actual bomber was only the beginning of the case. He said we had to catch whatever man's "toxic" rhetoric "inspired" the bomb-maker.

Jake Tapper nodded sagely.

They're already building the case that, no matter who it really was, It Was Trump.

"CLEARLY AN ACT OF TERROR," Declares Bill DiBlasio. Gee, that's funny, because in other clear cases of terror, our professional liars tell us it's not really terrorism because either the motive cannot be absolutely known or it's just a lone individual (or several lone individuals) with "no known overseas connections."

I guess we don't care about overseas connections in cases where we're not trying to play down Islamic terrorism, huh? Now we're employing the actual definition of terrorism -- violence or threat of violence to achieve some political goal -- rather than the FBI's make-it-up-as-you-go-for-Islamic-or-leftwing-attacks definition, which requires absolute proof of a political motive and overseas planning or direction.

Below, a picture of the Brennan "device." Allegedly.

Thought-Nark and The Cutest Li'l Censor Ben Shapiro Has Some New Tone-Policing For You:

I agree fully that this is not a false flag operation. Most false flags, like false reporting of hate crimes, basically require no work or risk to achieve. In most cases, false "hate crime" reports aren't even made to police, but just posted on social media or to college administrators or the like. There's no such crime as making a false report to twitter or a college diversity officer.

In this case, even if these are nonworking not-really-bombs, they're intended to look like bombs, and this took effort, and this will get you jail time just the same as they were real bombs.

However, I can say these things without resorting to Shapiro's typical nasty, censorious Hall Monitor style, calling out conservatives as "crazies" and "wacko-birds" and Hobbits.

Note that while he's busy #OwningTheCons by calling them deranged and evil right now, a couple of weeks ago he was scolding cons for #OwningTheLibs and demanding more "civility."

He agrees with his liberal twitter pals on this point: Civility is owed to liberals only; conservatives deserve nothing but contempt and calumny.

This sashsaying little soybean pussy tight-ass Social Justice Warrior of the Censorious Corporatist Right poses as a Bad Boy of Conservatism, but he's really a water boy for the liberal/neocon Establishment.

I wonder which member of the liberal media and/or Bill Kristol's donor network Li'l Ben is looking to get his little moppet head patted by today.

And what's all this hubbub about whether it's real or fake? I thought Ben was always telling us these things aren't biiiiinaaaaryyyy.

Very inconsistent of you, Not-Binary Ben.
