'I misspoke one word': Kellyanne Conway calls her critics 'haters' after Bowling Green fiasco

[TexasTowelie]

Kellyanne Conway wishes her critics would let the "Bowling Green massacre" thing go.

Chelsea Clinton, in particular, it seems.

"I misspoke one word," President Donald Trump's campaign manager-turned-presidential adviser told Fox News's Howard Kurtz, according to a preview of a yet-to-air interview. "The corrections in the newspapers that are attacking me are three paragraphs long every day."

Conway endured a day of mockery after she defended Trump's refugee ban to MSNBC's Chris Matthews by raising the specter of "the Bowling Green massacre."

"Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered," Conway told Matthews. There was no massacre at Bowling Green. Conway's comment instantly inspired memes.

1. She knew exactly what she was doing

She just didn't expect to get nailed so hard for so long over it. She is used to spewing absolute crap and getting away with it. As she said, get used to it.

[no_hypocrisy]

25. She's a lawyer. Highly unlikely she "misspoke".

Every word is measured and considered.

She can't fall back on "misspeak" when her false information is rejected.

[AgadorSparticus]

26. I agree. I don't think she thought it would blow up quite like this.

But I am enjoying reading all the tweets about it. They are hilarious!

[NewJeffCT]

35. If it were a first time thing

I would give her the benefit of the doubt, but she "misspeaks" every time she speaks in public.

[EllieBC]

2. She reminds me of teenager. Or this

[Hekate]

3. There there Kellyanne, it's just SO unfair. Dont't cry: your makeup will run down your face ...

....in big globs, and we can't have that.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Is she saying that newspapers are correcting their reporting on this story...

Or all stories published every day?

They seem to have an over-inflated sense of victim hood.

[Jim Beard]

5. Oh poor little girl, can't find her lawn ball. Someone will kiss IT and makke IT feel better.

[elleng]

6. It's true that many hate her,

and for good reason. And it's good she recognized she 'misspoke.'

Tough Toenails; she's a fool working for a FOOL. (MUCH too kind word.)

[demtenjeep]

7. grown people do not use the word hater

that is so childish

drives me insane

I don't even let my students say that

[Jamaal510]

22. This entire administration

is made up of children who are trapped in the bodies of grown people.

[brer cat]

38. I totally agree.

And propaganda Barbie is one mean girl.

[mreilly]

45. Exactly right...

... and the most nauseating thing about them is how, just like children - rotten, bullying, spoiled and selfish children - they constantly try to change and rig the rules their way so they can always "win."

Trump says such-and-such thing that turns out to be a lie? Shriek about haters and fake news, or just sob that Hillary was the real liar.

Trump engages in such-and-such illegal business practice? Moan about the meanies in the media and then cry that Obama did X-Y-Z (exaggerations or lies).

Good economic news? Praise Trump because it must have been due to his success. As soon as bad economic news hits? Blama and whine about Obama endlessly.

[yellowcanine]

8. The whole country is laughing at you Kellyanne. Get used to it.

[TeamPooka]

9. Communication specialist says communication isn't that importnat. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

10. Yeah, Conjob, just that one little innocuous, inconsequential word,

"massacre". No biggie.

[lpbk2713]

11. Poor baby.

Can't stand the heat? Get outta the kitchen.

[angrychair]

12. NOTHING

Makes me more irritated than to hear people like this say "misspoke" when that is clearly not what they did.

Conway did not "misspeak a single word" but created an entire narrative out of whole cloth, she uttered a complete falsehood.

My English comprehension is very good and I am no one's fool.

Truly is very irritating and an insult to our collective intelligence.

[TexasTowelie]

15. Misspoke

is appropriate when you get tongue-tied, have a brain-fart, or forget to say the word "not" in a sentence and it inadvertently changes the entire meaning of a sentence. Substituting the word "massacre" for another word is not misspeaking.

[angrychair]

18. Exactly

The word "Massacre" in that context was part of the false narrative she was trying to sell and definitively not misspoken.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Sounds like the poor snowflake needs a safe space.

Can't hack it, huh?

[unblock]

14. well we should forgive her tiny mistake, after all,

they quickly forgave bill clinton for his little slip-up about not having sexual relations with monica.

oh, wait. they impeached him for that.


but oh, then, hillary made a little mistake by doing exactly what her two predecessors as secretary of state did, setting up a private email server. and they forgave her quickly as well.

oh, wait. they had, what, nine investigations and pulled a very nasty dirty trick right before the election about that.


ok, no. sorry, conway. we'll forgive you after we try for as long as it takes to destroy your career. seems only fair.

oh, wait. no, you *still* haven't forgiven the clintons, so, no. even after we destroy your career, we still won't forget or forgive your lies.

[Cha]

16. Oh fuck off you whiny ****** your whole damn life is big Ugly LIE

[TexasTowelie]

17. I feel that you are suppressing your true message.

Come on and spill the beans. Tell us how you really feel!

[Cha]

19. I'm treating Conjob exactly how she treats the American

People.

Not falling into her trap of parsing her words but coming straight at her sociopath Lies.

Don’t think of a rampaging elephant: Linguist George Lakoff explains how the Democrats helped elect Trump

snip//

After “Don’t Think of an Elephant” was published, you got a lot of attention but your message really didn’t sink in. I think it was largely because of what you said above — what you were saying simply didn’t fit into the Enlightenment worldview that Democratic elites took for granted from their education.

When I started teaching framing the first thing I would tell the class is “Don’t think of an elephant,” and of course, they think of an elephant. I wrote a book on it because the point is, if you negate a frame, you have to activate the frame, because you have to know what you’re negating. If you use logic against something, you’re strengthening it. And that lesson was not understood. So if people think in terms of logic — it’s a mistake that’s made every day on MSNBC — you go on there and you’ll get people saying, “Well, you know, Trump said this, and some Republicans said that and Jeff Sessions said this and here are the facts that show they’re wrong.” You just keep repeating the things that you’re negating. And that just strengthens them.

I read this on DU awhile ago and have been trying to put it into practice..

You see what he means?

[struggle4progress]

20. No matter how you parse it, she told at least three lies in that statement

1. Trump's actions were exactly the same as Obama's
2. Obama's actions were based on an incident in Bowling Green that the media never covered
3. That incident was a massacre

Nighty-night, Kellyanne

[Motown_Johnny]

21. Misspeaking the work "massacre" deserves attention.

Especially when it comes from someone who recently forwarded the possibility of "alternative facts".

[riversedge]

27. I do not go to RW site but I have to wonder if Conway reads stories on these sites and that

there are (I have no idea) articles about the fictitious 'bowling green massacre' !!

[MrScorpio]

23. Ms. Crypt Keeper 2017 is just as thin-skinned as her cheeto tinged cult leader

Who'd a thunk'd it?

[Soxfan58]

24. Poor Kellyanne

It could be worst. You could be a immigrant praying you don't get ripped from your home and sent back to a war zone to be killed. Or you could have a chronic illness, and your just waiting for your health insurance to be taken away. So Miss Conway put your big girl panties on and shut the fuck up.

[JDC]

28. She's finally right. I do hate her.

[gademocrat7]

29. Conjob is a pathological liar.

She is part of an evil cabal hell bent on destroying our democracy.

[Vinca]

30. That wasn't misspeaking. She was whining about a horrible event the media didn't cover.

Maybe her addled mind somehow confused Bowling Green, KY with Bowling Green, OH and she thought Kent State, even though Kent State isn't in Bowling Green. If these people are ever autopsied, their skulls are likely to contain scrambled eggs.

[Squinch]

31. Deep breath Kellyanne. Now hold it. No, keep holding. Keeeeeep holding....

[tavernier]

32. She got confused when the msm wined and dined her

all last year. She thought that meant that everyone in the country would fall for anything she blabbered.

Harsh lesson.

[R B Garr]

33. "Massacre" just shows how much they know to use emotionally charged words

as red meat to their crowds. Even knowing it's not true, they couch everything in the most graphic and horrific language to get their fringes riled up for no reason. Just proves the fact-free mindset they rely on since they are never held accountable for it on Fox News.

[randome]

34. Well, KA-KA (may I call you 'KA-KA'?), why do you think most of the civilized world hates you, then?

I'll wait for you to evolve into a self-reflective human being. No hurry.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[dalton99a]

36. There is a very long documented pattern of outright lies. Just like Trump.

[Gothmog]

37. Conway is a liar just like trump

[Wounded Bear]

39. We don't hate you for a single "misspeak" KellyAlt...

We hate you for 2 years of lying to us and gaslighting us.

[Alpeduez21]

40. +1

[Mc Mike]

41. You sure are a whiny whiner, conway.

Why don't you go home, lock yourself in your room, and have a good 'rahowaaaaah!' .

There, there, li'l nazi. It'll be all right.

Just try not to lie so blatantly and stupidly next time, then maybe you won't get caught and get your delicate fee fees hurt. When you're on the tube, and feel yourself gettin all charged up and really gettin into the alt fact zone you enjoy so much, just dial it back a bit, pause a second, and spew up a slightly less ambitious lie.

[Solly Mack]

42. Oh, please. She lied and she meant to lie.

Plant another one of their alternative facts to rile up their supporters.

Go away miserable woman! Shoo!

[mcar]

43. Bless her heart

[Mr. Ected]

44. 8 years of relentless Obama hate, spewed forcefully and endlessly

And these wimps are crying already?

I guess that's what happens when your totalitarian dream begins to erode.

I hope you continue to weep when the shackles are placed on your arms and legs, Kellyanne.
