Bowling Green Massacre

C_Felix said:
All this simple slip up stuff.

I don't understand how one can accidently say, "there was a massacre in this city and it wasn't reported"

when what was meant to be said was, "two men were arrested for trying to sell arms to Iraq and that was reported"

Anyone?
Anyone?

No responses to this yet?

Your second point could even be rephrased to:"two men were arrested for agreeing to sell arms to Iraq after being groomed by FBI agents and that was reported"

Who's ignoring what? What's the title of the thread? What's the focus of the hubbub surrounding her comments?

The subject of the thread is the Bowling Green massacre lie. Discussion consists of everything that is said surrounding this lie. You claim people are focussing on a simple mistake she made and that her statement contained other lies. I and others contend that she made no such mistake and that there were multiple lies. If you wish to discuss another lie in the statement then you should because telling us we are not focussing on the correct untruth (mistruth?) is not helpful to a wider discussion as it leads to a yes you are, no we aren't discussion, and impeeds discussion about her other lies in the statement. Thankfully now additional evidence has appeared that she has repeated the same lies at least on 3 seperate occasions.

No. That's not actually the case. I must admit I did make one post where I referred to her "correcting an error", and provided no more explanation, but that was quite early on in the thread and my recent posts, including the one you recently quoted, made what I thought of it clear.

It wasn't a simple mistake. It was a biased error. She exaggerated the significance of the event. She exaggerated the similarity of Trump's response to Obama's response. It was not "misspeaking" nor was it just making stuff up.

I am confident that she was aware that there was no massacre, and I am confident that she did not want to convince me that somehow I had forgotten a massacre. The focus on that part of her statement has done quite well to deflect attention away from the rest of the statement, and among Trump supporters, to create an atmosphere where people are not likely to take criticism of her statement seriously.

She didn't exaggerate. She flat out lied about the existence of a massacre and she did it more than once.

I am confident her statement(s) were the result of either inexcusable, willful ignorance, blundering deception or some combination of the two. As far as Trump supporters go... as long as he continues to say what they want to hear, no criticism will be taken seriously.
 
And the entertainment just gets better and better.

Trump's intentionally censuring CNN. Actual cabinet positions and the veep aren't being made available to them. Pence did the other networks on Sunday and the White House offered CNN the Kellyanne Spinorama Show. CNN declined.

Kellyanne tweeted that she had family business to attend so had to decline. CNN fired right back that no, they had declined when she was offered.

Am I the only one noticing how much she's aged in the past month?
 
Funny, the Trump Administration's list of 78 un- (or under-reported) terror attacks doesn't seem to contain any mention of the Bowling Green Massacre. Wasn't that Conway's point in bringing the "massacre" up in the first place?

The list does seem to contain a whole lot of typos, though.

One would think they could at least run their lies through spellcheck.
 
Kellyanne Conway's "Bowling Green Massacre" wasn't one-time slip-up, Cosmo reveals
Kellyanne Conway said she misspoke "one word" on MSNBC's "Hardball" last week. But it turns out that she had mentioned the made-up "Bowling Green massacre" at least once before.

Cosmopolitan's Kristen Mascia reported Monday that Conway brought up the "masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre" in a January 29 telephone interview. Cosmo didn't print the quote at the time.

But now the Trumpers are moving on to gin up the fear mongering with their list of 78 instances of terrorism the news media didn't report on, despite the fact they did.

White House List Contradicts Trump Claim That Terror Attacks Go Unreported

Clearly the idea is to gin up the fear mongering to justify the absurd travel ban the courts have challenged. Get the press talking about all these acts, imply they are worse than what's being reported, be afraid, be very afraid, let daddy Trump protect you from those bad Muslims.

I'm kinda amazed that the internet hasn't uncovered a source for the list that shows they just googled it. That would be a less concerning source for all the typos especially if they just translated it from Cyrillic to English without using spellcheck.

And the fact that their list contains incidents that were never classified as terrorism, including some so minor that only local news outlets would have reason to give them coverage.
