Discussion: Conway: If I Were Killed, 'Half of Twitter Would Explode In Applause'

Whether it is cynicism or obliviousness, movement conservatives like Conway not only fail to recognize their massive contributions to ideological conflict they consistently fail to take any responsibility at all. The truth that they and their ilk are not only contributors but the primary driving force of conflict simply bounces off their world view.

Unfortunately we do not have a free and competent press willing and able to document that truth so we are where we are now, a situation where scurrilous drivel from reactionary bomb throwers and serial liars like Conway get ample air time (and our attention too alas mea culpa).

I don’t wish to see you or anyone killed for being an unrepentant liar. But if you were to fall off a toilet seat, hit your head and live out your remaining days as Cheetah the Chimp I’d be delighted!

Now shut up and go walk your dog.

The last thing anybody should want is for KAC “to be killed”—all it would do is make her something far more powerful in death than she ever will be in life:

A martyr.

Where was all the concern when Gabby Giffords was shot? Today on Social Media somebody is circulating a meme that gun violence in America will drop 90% when Democrats stop shooting people. (Apparently the assumption is that all people of color and poor people are Democrats and they do all the shooting. Racism and Fox News go together like a hat and gloves.)

Most likely what would happen is that most of Twitter wouldn’t care…

If it were me, I’d reflect on what I have done wrong to make that many people loathe me.

No shit… if the Dems were mean enough to cause problems for Conway, they’d make a big splash of re-releasing these anti-Trump comments to FB and Twitter. Then she’s know about death threats from her own people.

"Prior to her high-level role with Trump’s campaign, GOP strategist and pollster Kellyanne Conway headed a super PAC dedicated to helping Trump’s Republican presidential rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. And as the Keep the Promise 1 PAC ran attack ads against Trump, Conway herself appeared on cable television to criticize the Manhattan real estate tycoon as well.

As seen in clips compiled by Media Matters, Conway praised anti-Trump messaging in March for getting better as it resulted in talks “about victims of Trump University, victims of Trump in Atlantic City.”

“Before that, it was his conservative apostasies. Now it’s actually, ‘You’re for the little guy, but you’ve built your business on the backs of the little guy,'” Conway told CNN then as she said that Trump’s debates would be “fraught with peril.”

In April, Conway contended on CNN that Trump was acting “fairly unpresidential” with his nickname of “Lyin’ Ted” for Cruz and jokes about how Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) eats his food.

In the same interview, she called for Trump to be more transparent and urged him to finally release his tax returns.

Furthermore, in a half dozen other interviews compiled by Media Matters, Conway slammed Trump for suggesting that women who had abortions should be punished, criticized him for levying “personal insults” at Cruz’s wife following a primary loss and contended that the Trump campaign was getting “cozy with the establishment” especially with the hire of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort."

“We have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box,” Crabill said. “But that’s the beauty of our Second Amendment right. I am glad for all of us who enjoy the use of firearms for hunting. But make no mistake. That was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our Second Amendment right was to guard against tyranny.”
Catherine Crabill, Virginia House of Delegates candidate, 15 July, 2009

Yeah. So?

What’s your point?

Most people hate being lied to. You have turned “professional liar” into a lucrative position.

Boo, Fuckin-Hoo.

Her claim, though likely true, wouldnt remotely come close to the numbers of right wingers and Cons, who would have applauded, had Obama been killed.

My husband was a labor lawyer in 1981 when Reagan was shot. Our 11 year old daughter came home from school with the news of the incident. She was aware of the angst in our home over Reagan’s election. Labor leaders were fully aware of the threat to unions, born out by history.

Our daughter was conflicted not sure what my response would be. I told her " violence against other lives is never right and that we were sad like the rest of the country".

Conway could learn a lesson from my now 40+year old daughter. Conway is a mother and this is a teachable moment for her children and for her.
