Sean Spicer Makes Up Atlanta Islamist Terror Attack


Kellyanne Conway is not the only Trump adviser to make up a terrorist attack. White House press secretary Sean Spicer has repeatedly listed Atlanta among cities wracked by Islamist terror.

Kellyanne Conway’s “Bowling Green massacre” isn’t the only case of a White House aide pointing to a terror attack that didn’t happen to make the case for President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order limiting travel from seven majority-Muslim countries.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer has repeatedly pointed to Atlanta, along with San Bernardino and Boston, as one of three U.S. cities that have been attacked by Islamist terrorists to argue that the Trump administration needed to act quickly to prevent another attack in the future.

While the Boston bombing and shootings in San Bernadino were both carried out by Islamist terrorists, neither involved foreign nationals from the seven countries in Trump’s executive order. There has never been an Islamist terror attack in Atlanta.

In a Jan. 29 appearance on ABC’s This Week, Spicer explained to Martha Raddatz that the White House needed to implement its executive order quickly, before another terror attack could take place. “What do we say to the family that loses somebody over a terroristic (sic), to whether it’s Atlanta or San Bernardino or the Boston bomber?”....................

sean is nothing but a vile deplorable!

1. They're starting to run out of fake attacks.

Frankly, I wouldn't put it past these people to be considering staging a real one. They're starting to feel cornered, and there's no telling what they'll try.

[briv1016]

21. Worked for the Nazis.

[tenorly]

24. Yeah. I bet those two words show up quite often whenever Trump and Bannon sit down together.

With the recording device turned off, natürlich.

[Mrs. Overall]

2. Didn't a white American guy commit an act of terror in Atlanta in 1996?

[tenorly]

4. Literally every single Rethug who's mentioned the '96 incident thinks "Clinton did it"

"to distract us from Whitewater," they'll invariably add.

We have WND to thank for that one - and sure enough, its editor is in the Trump regime now.

[underpants]

13. I can't say I've ever heard that one

WOW.

[tenorly]

16. Sure, because you're a decent guy who doesn't read WND.

To those who consider it their primary news source though (and it's several million people), it's an article of faith - along with every single smear against Obama and Hillary you may have ever heard.

I refer to it from time to time in order to gauge the current level of crazy. I'd say right now we're at code orange.

5. You're thinking of Eric Rudolph, the anti-choice and anti-gay bomber.

Eric Rudolph

Eric Robert Rudolph (born September 19, 1966), also known as the Olympic Park Bomber, is an American domestic terrorist convicted for a series of anti-abortion and anti-gay-motivated bombings across the southern United States between 1996 and 1998, which killed two people and injured over 120 others.

Described by US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as a terrorist, he spent five years on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list until he was caught in 2003. In 2005, as part of a plea bargain, Rudolph pleaded guilty to numerous federal and state homicide charges and accepted four consecutive life sentences in exchange for avoiding a trial and a potential death sentence. He remains incarcerated at the ADX Florence Supermax prison near Florence, Colorado.
....

Bombings

At age 29, Rudolph was the perpetrator of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta, which occurred on July 27, 1996, during the 1996 Summer Olympics. He called the police, warning about the bomb before it detonated. The blast killed spectator Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others. Melih Uzunyol, a Turkish cameraman, who ran to the scene following the blast, died of a heart attack. Rudolph's motive for the bombings, according to his April 13, 2005 statement, was political:

{snip}

Rudolph has also confessed to three other bombings: an abortion clinic in the Atlanta suburb of Sandy Springs on January 16, 1997; the Otherside Lounge of Atlanta, a lesbian bar, on February 21, 1997, injuring five; and an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama on January 29, 1998, killing Birmingham police officer and part-time clinic security guard Robert Sanderson, and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons. Rudolph's nail bombs were made of dynamite surrounded by nails which acted as shrapnel.

15. The conspirators who helped hide him out have never been charged (or maybe, even looked for)

[tenorly]

17. Excellent point.

I bet half of them were descendants of the people who tried to hide John Wilkes Booth.

[riversedge]

20. Thanks. with your prompt-I vaguely recall the Olympic attack now. Domestic

terrorist once again.

[George II]

6. White and born in Florida (naturally). He's now serving four consecutive life sentences...

...for a number of crimes.

[riversedge]

3. BTW--"Atlanta was not on the White Houses list." per the article.

To illustrate the president’s point, the White House released a list of 78 Islamist terror attacks around the world since 2014.

Atlanta was not on the White House’s list.

[Angry Dragon]

7. Trump is putting a terrorist attack on the White House

I do not see the republicans sending in the troops yet

[Eyeball_Kid]

8. Wow. Let's be careful.

If Trumpy thinks he doesn't have enough Islamic terrorist attacks in the US to justify his ban, then he'll certainly manufacture a half dozen to make his point.

[Javaman]

9. you know all this bullshit is coming straight from the mouth of bannon, right? nt

[Dave Starsky]

23. This shit might have worked in 1939.

News took hours to get anywhere. No one but libraries archived it for future reference.

But now almost anyone can discredit this crap immediately using a device that sits in the palm of their hand.

He's only fooling the idiots who already believe him, and he's pissing all of the rest of us off!

[neeksgeek]

25. Right on.

[gademocrat7]

10. No Islamic attack happened in Atlanta.

We did have an act of domestic terror occur during The 1996 Summer Olympics. The terrorist was Eric Rudolph. A white anti abortionist.

[bettyellen]

26. White conservative Christian terrorist - anti gay and anti abortion -

[MacLaughlinComm]

11. Lack of discipline from this communications team

It's staggering how often this press secretary and communications team just 'shoot from the hip.' There'll be more of these gaffes until they're replaced.

[JHB]

12. Sharia Snowflakes?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. It happened, led by the radical Islamist Caliph General Sherman

Terror!

[MRDAWG]

18. I watch local Atlanta news for at least an hour a day. I know..........

that they are desperate to fill up 6 hours a day. I watch WSB-TV the ABC affiliate.

If there had been any thing close to a terrorist attack, it would have been reported ad nauseaum .

[riversedge]

19. Thanks for post. The local newspapers/news do cover that stuff well--mine would.

[VWolf]

22. The only Atlanta massacre

occurred in Houston a few days ago.

[milestogo]

27. Do they think we are stupid?

[Bengus81]

28. Atlanta bomber was born in Florida. Ok Spicer,ban ALL travel from Florida to other States NOW!!!

Christ on a crutch,these psycho idiots never stop.

[BlueSpot]

29. Attention shoppers!

We're having a blue light special on alternative facts in aisle 7.
