A national ad campaign by a GOP super PAC states, ‘Not all bombers are bad people.” The ad runs for 30 seconds and insists “there are good people on both sides of the explosion.”
The Fatherland Leadership Fund (FLF) is the Republican super PAC responsible for the message. Many pundits consider the FLF is responding for the bombs sent to Robert DeNiro, Barack Obama, George Soros, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Hillary Clinton. The New York Times tells the story in the article Pipe Bombs Sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and CNN Offices:
Mrs. Clinton, in an address to a crowd of about 200 Democratic donors in Florida, said: “It is a troubling time, isn’t it, and it’s a time of deep divisions and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together.”
Many Democrats are taking issue with the FLF ad being played nonstop on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Passenger Pigeon, television, and radio. Leading Democrats charge that by saying “Not all bombers are bad people” the GOP is implicitly stating political violence is good if directed to the right people. “Look, we have a Republican body slamming a reporter, and President Trump calling the press the enemy of the people,” Senator Andrew Canard of Massachusetts stated. “The FLF is simply following the right-wing playbook.”
A few FOX News personalities went on the record to say George Soros is more than likely to blame for the Republican super PAC’s controversial advertisement. “It was Soros’ fluoride in the water or maybe the orbital mind control lasers,” Sean Hannity mused. “Either way, it isn’t the Republican Party’s fault.”
Meanwhile, the stock price of American Pipe Bomb Inc. rose sharply in early morning trading. Investors are not surprised. Whenever bombings are in the news, lunatics rush to buy materials just in case the government passes a law regulating weapons of mass destruction. “God bless my AR-15 and all the explosives I can jam into my F-150,” one anonymous Trump supporter quipped.
