This Sure Seems to Counter the Mob Narrative

RUSH: Okay. So suspicious packages/bombs that did not go off have been sent to Democrats before the midterm elections. Is it real or is it a political setup? Is it a political stunt? And, if it is, who’s behind it? If it’s a political stunt, who’s behind it, and for what purpose? I’ve seen some people today who think the Republicans are behind this to try to scare Democrats away from going to the polls. That’s a new one on me. That just doesn’t compute. That’s not the kind of thing Republicans do.

The one thing that we know to be true: The Democrats are pulling out all the stops. They see this election as their last, best chance to take down Trump and his agenda. It’s October. Another way of looking at this. For the last few weeks, the Democrats have had all of that horrible PR, all of these angry mobs.

And I don’t care what anybody thinks. Those angry mobs are not good for the Democrat Party. Those angry mobs are not going to stoke turnout. Those angry mobs are not sending a signal, “Join us.” Much as the media would like to portray it otherwise — and much as the Democrats would like to portray it otherwise — the people of this country do not want to spend all day and all night every day enraged and angry. That’s not what life is to most people, and they don’t want it to be that.

But that’s what life is for your average Democrat today: Enraged, angry, upset, certainly unhappy, not content. And they are hoping to win elections based on that? There hasn’t been a single — that I’ve heard, a single — statement of condemnation for any of these acts committed against Republicans by Democrat mobs. People who have been caught on tape threatening Republicans in restaurants. People who have been caught on tape threatening Republicans at airports. Republican offices that have been vandalized, rocks thrown through windows. Kevin McCarthy the most recent.

Angry mobs sending packages that claim to be ricin to Republican senator Susan Collins at her house. We have seen these angry mobs in the halls of the Senate during the Kavanaugh hearings. We have seen these angry mobs at political rallies. We have seen these angry mobs confronting people in public, in restaurants — doesn’t matter where — and they have all been Democrat angry mobs. And there has not been a single condemnation from any Democrat. Like everybody today is condemning these bombs.

I’ve got 10 pages of violence against Republicans.

So what would you do? Democrat operative, best way to turn all of that around? How about a day like this? How about a day like this where you create a scenario where it looks like the mobs are on both sides.

It looks like the Republicans have a mob, too, or at least an “insaniac.” There’s some Republican out there sending bombs to decent, good Democrats and media people — former Democrat presidents and the harmless people at CNN. Wouldn’t it serve your up here if you’re a Democrat operative to make it look like the Republicans are a bunch of insane lunatics and have some mobsters on their side as well? The very same people the media says Republicans hate the most! Isn’t this interesting?

George Soros, Hillary, the Obamas, CNN.

I mean, surely, surely that will convince the great unwashed out there that there are dangerous angry mobs on both sides. It’s not just Democrats who have angry mobs.

By the way, Paul Sperry – who writes for the New York Post and other places — has a tweet, “The pipe bombs might as well have had ‘ACME’ stamped on them.” Those are the things the Coyote used to try to kill the Roadrunner. These bombs were “[t]otally telegraphed by packaging (excessive postage, taping), amateur packing of gun powder (bad end caps, etc).” In other words, he says whoever did this wanted them noticed, wanted these bombs noticed and caught, never intended ’em to explode or go off.
