Right-Wing Media Suggest Obama And De Blasio Inspired Anti-Police Hatred And Violence Leading To Murder Of Two NYPD Officers
Former Mayor Giuliani: "We've Had Four Months Of Propaganda Starting With The President That Everybody Should Hate The Police." On the December 21 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends Sunday, former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani said that it "goes too far to blame the Mayor or to ask for the Mayor's resignation" over the shooting of the officers, but nevertheless claimed that "four months of propaganda starting with the president" encouraged the anti-police sentiments that were behind the shooting and the New York City protests that took place several days before:
GIULIANI: We've had four months of propaganda starting with the president that everybody should hate the police. I don't care how you want to describe it, that's what those protests are all about. The
protests are being embraced, the protests are being encouraged, the protests, even the ones that don't lead to violence, and a lot of them lead to violence, all lead to a conclusion: the police are bad, the police are racists. That is completely wrong. Actually the people who do the most for the Black community in America are the police. [Fox News, Fox & Friends Sunday, 12/21/14]

Fox News Contributor Erick Erickson: President Obama And Mayor De Blasio "All But Encouraged Retaliation On The Police After The Eric Garner Situation." Fox News contributor Erick Erickson claimed that "Neither side should blame the other" for the deaths of the police officers, but wrote that Obama, Holder, and de Blasio's "repeated anti-police rhetoric ... all but encouraged retaliation on the police" and were transforming America with a "war on police":
Now, in New York City, a man has gunned down two police officers. He did so after repeated anti-police rhetoric from the President, Eric Holder, and New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio who, himself, all but encouraged retaliation on the police after the Eric Garner situation.
President Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. We just didn't expect that transformation to involve a war on police. [ErickOnTheRadio.com, 12/21/14]
National Review Online: Murder Suspect "Was Clearly Animated By The Racially-Charged, Rabidly Anti-Police Atmosphere" President Obama And Others "Promoted." A December 21 post by National Review Online contributor Andrew McCarthy suggested President Obama and "like-minded radicals" were in part to blame for the murder of the two NYPD officers, claiming their rhetoric signals "that savage acts against police and others are likely to be rationalized and tolerated":
Obama and his attorney general have joined the administration at the hip with notorious demagogue Al Sharpton. Together with like-minded radicals like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, they promote a lethally dangerous smear that police lack human regard for the lives of black Americans.
This has not only divided our society -- and Obama, like Sharpton, divides us out of the most shameful of political calculations. It has further signaled to a violent fringe Obama well knows is out there that savage acts against police and others are likely to be rationalized and tolerated -- and, indeed, that violent acts short of murder will be ignored or sugar-coated as "peaceful protest."
And now, two police officers have been murdered because they were sitting in their squad car wearing their uniforms -- by a violent criminal who was clearly animated by the racially-charged, rabidly anti-police atmosphere Obama, Sharpton & Co. have promoted. [National Review Online, 12/21/14]they are continuing down the same road they have worn out the last 6 years they keep getting little grains oof things the choose to spin into negative accusations about Pres. how many times will they make on this one 56 is their ObamaCares record, they do have a propensity to insanely go at it until something changes the fact that they are wrong not withstanding. will they waste another 2 years and blame Pres. for blocking them something they are really familiar with plan on it and the lies ramping up 2016 just round the bend given the last election might serve us well to pay attention and realize home is not the place to be on election day.
Clinton: "takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you do".
