Comments on reddit about the Democrat bomb scares from conservatives:
“All of these "bombs" just happen to be mailed to prominent Dems...two weeks before a pivotal, tight election. Hmmm”
“More and more it appears to be a leftist concerned about losing in next month's election. Sending bombs meant not to go off. Good stunt to control the news cycle. Use the false flag to condemn Trump. De Niro? seriously. Would a real nut actually send a politically motivated bomb to an asshole actor? And if it is indeed a leftist doing this as a sympathy fuck for democrats I wouldn't count on our worthless fbi identifying them prior to the election.”
“They go after De Niro, but not Michael Moore? Yeah, I think this is fake.”
“Just a reminder that Dem false flags right before elections are very common.
Remember the Vote Trump arson? False flag.

“Surprised that the liberal rag of record would actually report this. If the fbi does identify this as a leftist scam the whole thing will be immediately purged throughout the lying liberal media.”
“It's pretty obvious. distinguished mentally-challenged devices placed to gain a sympathy vote since it's starting to look like the Democrats will not only lose seats in Senate but may not gain house either. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope they catch the liberal fuck that did it and this whole thing blows up in their faces. Pun intended.”
The human mind truly is twisted.
There was an article on Trump being sent ricin. Here are the comments to contrast.
“The coverage differential is astounding”
“Remember how that disappeared instantly after it happened yet I guarantee this Obama bomb thing won’t go away till 2020”
“Just a reminder that there was a whole slew of fake hate crimes right before the 2016 election including an arson attack on a black church with the words vote Trump written in red paint. All were false flags.”
Then there’s this one. I’ll post the original and the replies:
This incident has not been mentioned at all in the context of reporting on Wednesday’s wave of suspected mail bombs sent to prominent Democrats and supporters.
We should be better than this. The NYT article linked on this sub and on /r/news has the following paragraph.
Earlier this month, federal authorities said they intercepted multiple packages suspected of containing the lethal substance ricin, addressed to Mr. Trump and at least two top Pentagon officials. In February, an envelope containing a white, powdery substance that investigators later determined was cornstarch was sent to the Manhattan apartment of Donald Trump Jr.’s mother-in-law.
Replies to this sensible comment?
“Oh my a whole paragraph! The real injustice is the difference in coverage at the time of the events. These stories were covered of course, but not nearly with the same veracity. This is going to be obsessed over and pushed hard going into the midterms by MSM.” +9
“lol they give a passing token paragraph and a half day's coverage while here they have 15 different front-page articles on it followed up with a dozen op-eds.
Right... we should be better than this, right?
We should be better at quickly acknowledging how one-sided and biased they are. What you show only demonstrates it.” +5
“Exactly. We can call out these threats as evil acts that make the world worse for all of us without handing in our perceived political credibility. Yes, the media undercovers things in accordance with an agenda. Don't be just as gross.” -3
