Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened[W:148]

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Kellyanne Conway has so little to attack her for that when she makes a simple mistake they will pile on.

We should expect more of this over the next 8 years.

Remember she is a conservative woman, after all.

And, yanno, a serial liar.

Very little other than her constant stream of outright falsehoods. Other than that, of course.

Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened to defend travel ban



I propose that we all raise a glass in honor of the all the innocent people (and cows) that lost their lives in this horrific massacre, and for the heroic efforts of Nancy Grace in helping to stop these Iraqi terrorists from taking any more innocent lives (and cows).

It's a shame that the librul MSM didn't report on this.

Kellyanne has subsequently explained that she misspoke and meant to say Bowling Green terrorists. These were two Iraqi guys that had come into the country and were arrested in Bowling Green by the Obama's national security people BEFORE they were able to carry out a planned terrorist attack that no doubt would have been a massacre. Immediately after that event, Obama imposed a six-month moratorium on allowing Iraqis into the country.

And yes, that got very little coverage.

Now if the MSM would just give Kellyanne the same benefit of the doubt over a misspeak as they gave Obama, Hillary, et al in many misspeaks, it would be really nice.

Let's put your trust in Conway to the test, shall we? We'll insert the word "terrorists" into her sentence and see if it makes sense:

"I bet it’s brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre terrorists."


Yes, I'm sure she meant to say those two Iraqis were the masterminds behind the terrorists (themselves). That makes all the sense in the world and is a quality use of the English language. :roll:


So not only did she lie, now she's trying to cover it up with a worse lie. And you actually believe it. This is the problem with partisanship. Partisanship makes people do and say really stupid things.

She lied. She didn't "misspeak", she lied. Don't defend the liar.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Will you kindly stop with these moronic posts? Obama never issued an Iraqi ban. Just because Kellyanne Conway, who I have a lot of respect for, is too clueless to know that there was no massacre in Bowling Green doesn't mean you should double down on her stupidity.

I'm really disappointed in her for this. She's much smarter than this and shouldn't have made this kind of mistake.

I don't think it was a "mistake." Trump's inner circle lives so deeply in a forest of lies and distortions that, in KAC's mind, this fictitious "Bowling Green massacre" may very well have happened.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Conway ****ed up.
You can't make mistakes like that ... on MSNBC, no less.

But she didn't **** up the story about Obama stopping applications for Iraqi refugees because of a couple of Iraqi refugees out of Bowling Green plotting weapons shipments.
That happened but there sure as hell was no massacre.

This is not a forgiving media environment for such mistakes.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Actually, that's not true either.

2. Not a ban. Contrary to Trump’s Sunday statement and the repeated claims of his defenders, the Obama administration did not “ban visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.” For one thing, refugees don’t travel on visas. More importantly, while the flow of Iraqi refugees slowed significantly during the Obama administration’s review, refugees continued to be admitted to the United States during that time, and there was not a single month in which no Iraqis arrived here. In other words, while there were delays in processing, there was no outright ban.

Sorry, Mr. President: The Obama Administration Did Nothing Similar to Your Immigration Ban | Foreign Policy

But I do appreciate you acknowledging she lied and I sincerely mean that.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Trump and Bannon and crew know if they keep lying, and keep attacking the media, and make the lies more and more outrageous that eventually they will minimize or even silence the media. The 'big lie(s)', works and they know it.

Trump blatantly lied constantly about Obama's birth certificate and 30% of the Republican base believed him. Trump and Bannon saw that, so they are just continuing on with the same tactic.

I'm afraid you're probably right. When the people don't believe anything, the government can get away with anything. I'm afraid he may be headed there.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Conway nakedly revealed the mindset of the Trump administration. They don't care about facts, or doing research, or coming up with their own justification for the knee-jerk policies they keep throwing against the wall. But...but.. but..but...Obama did it first! It's all his idea. Boy, does tough guy Trump sure look weak. The tough guy with all the answers keeps telling us that he got all his ideas from Obama. He is a walking self-parody.

Trump loves to tweet that anything critical of him is fake news. But one of his own is guilty of it and not a peep from him. Maybe he should fire her.

Remember Bowling Green!!!!

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Wait--stupidity or ignorance?

And lying or mistakenly stating? Lying, to me, suggests intent.

Stupidity if you're one the most senior advisors to the President and you are trying to justify a very controversial action he just took, and you make up things which make the situation worse.

I never said she was lying so I have no idea why you asked me that second sentence.

Yes, the word "mistake" wasn't exactly what I meant in terms of what she said. I meant "mistake" in that she's smart enough to know if she's the President's mouthpiece and she's attempting to justify his action, she knows she should know what the hell she's talking about before representing him.

Problem being, of course, is that she frequently lies like this and they're usually not little 'oopsies' that can be rationalized away.

That wasn't directed to you. It had already come up in other posts, so I just commented on both in one post.

That, now, was a real blooper. Malign intent is doubtful. That is quite different in the reporting of the EO banning the entry of persons from the 7 countries as "anti-Muslim". So, I think we should all keep the heat out of this, seeing the matter is important and needs thought and not emotions.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

I fully expect politicians to spin. I understand politicians will use doublespeak. But the amount of blatant lying which has already occurred in the last couple of weeks is just staggering. This isn't spin or doublespeak, these are provably false statements about things which have already happened (or, in this case, hasn't happened). It's just bewildering how people can simply ignore it.

It is not very convincing to speak of "blatant lying" in the case of the Bowling Green Massacre. It is as dishonest as going on about the "ban on Muslims entering the country".

Now, I am not at all happy about Trump as President. But using stupidities as the media around the globe are doing is not just shameful. It is outright dangerous. It is much too important to come to understand, where this is leading to be throwing around emotional incorrectness. That obscures instead of shining a light in the corners. It is what the street wants, maybe. But it is excusably infantile populism.

A misspeak is not a lie. And I doubt you can quote her in much error that isn't a legitimate 'oopsie'.

I, Donald Trump, am calling for a complete ban on Muslims entering the country.

Re: Kellyanne Conway cites ‘Bowling Green massacre’ that never happened

Forgive my skepticism, but besides that, the behavior of the Trump voters is amazingly pathetic. She didn't make a mistake. She exhibited uncharacteristic stupidity and then made it worse by trying to throw more red meat at the Trump supporters who beat the drum on here every single day that the "MSM lies and doesn't tell the truth" by bringing the media into her "simple mistake" and saying they covered up and didn't report on this "massacre".

If she was talking about those 2 terrorists, as she's now claiming, she was blatantly lying when she said it wasn't reported on. It was. Repeatedly.
