FLASHBACK: Liberals Said There Would Be Riots IF OBAMA WASN’T ELECTED IN 2008

James Carville

People who don’t like Donald Trump have seized on a recent comment he made about possible unrest at the Republican National Convention if he is denied the nomination despite being the leading candidate.

Liberals are using his comments as proof that he’s inciting violence but guess what…

They said the same thing about Obama in 2008.

From The American Thinker in October 2008:

A New Media Motif: Vote Obama & Avoid Race Riots

The Hill.com introduced what could become a key media motif in the week before the election: If you vote against Obama, you could cause a riot.

At least in modern American history, this will be the first of its brand of political extortion perpetrated by the old liberal media, not just against voters, but against the African-American communities in cities across the country.

The article on TheHill.com, written by Alexander Bolton, states that,

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

James Carville Hints at Riots If Obama Loses Election (2008)

In last night’s post-debate analysis on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, James Carville proclaimed that Barack Obama will be the slam dunk winner of the election in November. However, he followed up by hinting at riots if Obama were to lose.

That doesn’t count though.

Everything is different when Democrats do it.
