The Greatest Hysteria In American History — Investor's Business Daily

You and I are living through the greatest mass hysteria in American history. For many Americans, the McCarthy era held that dubious distinction, but what is happening now is incomparably worse.
For one thing, any hysteria that existed then was directed against the greatest evil in the world at the time: communism. Then-Sen. Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee notwithstanding, there really were Americans in important positions who supported communist regimes enslaving their populations and committing mass murder. McCarthy was on to something.
In contrast, the country is choking on hysteria over the extremely unlikely possibility — for which there is still no evidence — that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 presidential election, and the absurdity that President Trump works for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For another, the mainstream media did not support McCarthy. Most in the media were highly critical of McCarthy. Today, the mainstream media are not the voices of caution. They are the creators of the hysteria. There have been conspiracy theories throughout American history (e.g., Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill President John F. Kennedy alone; the moon landing never happened). But this is the first time the media have created and promoted a conspiracy. Not surprisingly, they have dropped any pretense of objective reporting in the process.
And while some Americans were unfairly labeled communists during the McCarthy era, countless Democratic politicians and leaders in news and entertainment have called members of the Trump administration and the tens of millions of Americans who support the president fascists, white supremacists, haters, xenophobes and even Nazis.
MSNBC contributor Jill Wine-Banks said of the Trump-Putin Helsinki press conference: "It's just as serious to me as the Cuban Missile Crisis in terms of an attack, or the 9/11 attack. ... (Trump's) performance today will live in infamy as much as the Pearl Harbor attack or Kristallnacht."
Former communist, Obama operative and CIA Director John Brennan tweeted: "Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of 'high crimes & misdemeanors.' It was nothing short of treasonous."

The constant invoking of the Holocaust, the Nazis and now Kristallnacht (the unofficial beginning of the Holocaust, a night in 1938 when German Jews were beaten to death, synagogues were burned and Jewish shops were destroyed) only minimizes the evils of Nazism and the Holocaust. A young American who, having gone to a typical university, probably knows nothing about the Nazis and the Holocaust will now think Nazism and the Holocaust were 20th-century expressions of Trump and American conservatism.
All this hysteria is built on next to nothing. At its core, it is an attempt to undo the 2016 election. The mainstream media refuse to accept that Hillary Clinton lost. They said she would win — handily. They predicted a landslide. How could they have possibly gotten it so wrong? Their answer is they didn't; Trump and Putin stole it.
If truth mattered to the media, their ongoing narrative would be: "Democrats and the left still do not accept Trump victory."
If truth mattered to the media, every American would know Trump has been harder on Russia than former President Barack Obama was. Every American would be reminded that Obama reassured Putin's right-hand man, then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, that he wouldn't be too tough on Russia. Thinking his mic was off, he whispered into Medvedev's ear: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
If truth mattered to the media, every American would be reminded that Obama sent Army meals to Ukraine and Trump has sent anti-tank missiles and other arms to repel the Russians.
If truth mattered to the media, every American would be reminded that Obama watched Syria burn and Russia come to dominate that country, while Trump has bombed Syrian military installations, including one where Russians were killed.
If truth mattered to the media, every American would be reminded that it is Trump who has weakened Russia's ally Iran, while Obama immeasurably strengthened it.
Instead the media scream "treason," "impeachment" and the like 24/7; Hollywood stars curse the president; others curse his daughter or the first lady (one of the most regal in American history) and show President Trump in various death poses. Meanwhile, leftist mobs shout at administration officials and Republican members of Congress while they eat in restaurants, shop in stores and sleep in their homes.
If you vote Democrat this November, you are voting for hysteria, lies, socialism and even the cheapening of the Holocaust.
But more than anything, a vote for Democrats in November is a vote for hysteria — the greatest and darkest in American history.

While the senate has always been a rough row to hoe for the Ds it has gotten much worse for them as the election draws near. Manchin is acting and talking like he might flip and Nelson is dead in the water due to a lack of funding. The house seats are likely to miss D expectations as well but probably not as bad

All I ever see on this St Louis Cardinals board I belong to are topics about how there are too many topics not supporting the team blindly.

All I ever see and read are stories about how the MSM is focused on attacking Trump.

The guy IS under investigation so you are gonna see some. The guy IS involved in a sex scandal with an enhanced porn star so you are gonna hear about it. Heck, you hear about Bill Clinton's life 20 years afterwards from Faux news so I guess it is that important.

Take it from an outsider, Trump isn't gonna go to jail but deserves investigated. He's good at pushing things to the edge. The man may have no tact and a taste for trading in his gaudy trophy wives as they get too many miles on them so he can prove to his friends he "won" the wife competition but he isn't an idiot.

Schiff right now is fighting for his political life after what was shown by the FISA warrant. Waters is in hot water for her calling for people to hound and by extension commit violence on those in the Trump administration. Pelosi can't remember where she is, who is president, or what she was talking about. Schumer can only recite what is written. When given a chance to work on DACA they said immediate voting rights, when told it was not going to happen they said we are not interested.

And they expect a blue wave?

You don’t believe the Nazi and “Putin’s bitch/puppet” talk is a bit over-the-top? You don’t think it’s insensitive to Holocaust survivors to compare Trump to Hitler and to say the Helsinki Summit was just as horrific an occurrence as Pearl Harbor, 9/11, Kristallnacht isn’t disrespectful to the lives lost during those tragedies? Is it not reasonable to think a media who make these comparisons is being unfair or at least fulfilling a narrative bc they literally can’t accept that Trump beat Hillary?

Well look at all the people who think Trump is the devil. The sheep nod their heads and do what their masters say.

If you’re looking for unwarranted hysteria; the OP is a fine example. A cut and paste with no commentary from the poster.

The intel agencies in the US confirm that Russia meddled in our elections. The hysteria is from the right that swears they are part of some figment of their imagination called “the deep state”. Hysterical.

Donald Trump’s campaign had many ties to Russia. His son took meetings with Russians who promised to “have some dirt” on Ms. Clinton. Trump’s campaign manager was present at the meeting. Roger Stone, Trump’s advisor, sung the praises of Guccifer2.0—the hacker who is credited with hacking the DNC. Another Trump advisor, Jeff Sessions lied to Congress in his testimony about meeting with the Russian ambassador. So much so that he recused himself when there was so much evidence that the DOJ had to appoint a special prosecutor The hysteria is from the right who dismiss this as no big deal and, of course swear the apparatus that is in place—a GOP apparatus at that—is part of this “deep state” Hysterical.

You really can't be that stupid can you? First let's look at your claim about Sessions. He was told by the intelligence community he did not need to say anything about Russians he meet while a senator.

Care to explain the fiasco FISA warrant? How about the FBI emails? The fact that the letter exohonerating Hillary was not only written before she was interviewed but was also changed to make sure that there were no grounds to prosecute.

The intelligence community never even looked at the DNC server and it has been stated that due to the amount of info downloaded it had to be done on a thumb drive.

The intelligence community has been wrong a number of times. 9/11 no actionable intel. Saddam had WMDs. The Tet Offensive. Pearl Harbor. Just to name a few.

The fact the Hillary paid the Russians for Intel from a man that never even bothered to set foot in Russia.

Of course the Nazi bit and everything else is 'over the top'.

As was the 8 years of the Far Right calling (and still calling) Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as much or worse.

The fallacy is that the criticisms of Trump are because of some lingering issues about how Trump won the election.

We will never know how many votes were influenced by Russian interference- but despite the repeated efforts of Don the Con and his loyal Trumpkins to deny Russian efforts- we do know that the Russians acted specifically to harm the election of Hillary Clinton.

But I don't criticize Don the Con because he won the election. I criticize him for what he says and what he does.

Don the Con lies all the time. Virtually every day. Big lies and little lies.

Don the Con attacks the media because he wants Americans not to trust those who criticize him. Just like Richard Nixon did.

The article you cited is just partisan parroting of what Don the Con himself keeps claiming.

Because for Don the Con- everything is about himself. Any mistake he makes? He blames others- Obama, Hillary, the Democrats. Anything good happens- he claims the credit regardless.

Yesterday he was the VFW convention speaking- and he couldn't stop talking about himself, and blaming everyone else.

This is what he does.

Another Trump advisor, Jeff Sessions lied to Congress in his testimony about meeting with the Russian ambassador. So much so that he recused himself when there was so much evidence that the DOJ had to appoint a special prosecutor The hysteria is from the right who dismiss this as no big deal and, of course swear the apparatus that is in place—a GOP apparatus at that—is part of this “deep state” Hysterical.

You really can't be that stupid can you? First let's look at your claim about Sessions. He was told by the intelligence community he did not need to say anything about Russians he meet while a senator.

He was asked if he met with Russian officials during the campaign. He lied about it.

While it is one thing to claim that he did because you like only Democratic people there is a lot to be said for understanding.

The intel agencies in the US confirm that Russia meddled in our elections. The hysteria is from the right that swears they are part of some figment of their imagination called “the deep state”. Hysterical.

“There is enough wiggle room that makes a perjury prosecution [against Sessions] difficult,” Eliason said. Unless there is some bombshell, he said, such as emails or notes from the conversation that suggest Sessions was acting in his role as a campaign surrogate, “I don’t see it as a criminal case.”


We agree that there may be some ambiguity about Sessions’ response in the confirmation hearing, and whether or not he intentionally misled senators. And so we’ll leave it up to readers to make up their own minds about that. And we will update this piece should new information emerge.

Your own citation invites readers to make up their own minds- which Candy clearly has.

Your right he made it up the minute they announced Trump as president.

From your source….

Leahy: Several of the President-Elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?

Sessions: No.

It was a lie.

So much so, he had to correct his answers and recuse himself from the Russia probe.

When you have to correct your testimony as Sessions did, that means you were incorrect (to be most charitable) in the original meeting.
You don’t correct something that is accurate; do you?

Anyone who thinks otherwise is engaged in intellectual dishonesty.

Very impressed of those who can see this article is biased... I happen to agree with this person’s assessment, so fucking sue me. Of course it’s biased—so what? Do ya’ll see the unhinged shit some anti-Trumpers post here and ya’ll can’t handle a biased article that challenges your beliefs? I’m more reasonable than many of the Trumpers here and I put this in the CDZ so we could have a discussion about it. I won’t respond to whiners and those who won’t even try to see from others’ POV.

If you have a problem with this article, I see that as evidence you want to keep whining and bitching and HATING on Trump in the face of evidence maybe you should have hated other presidents just as much. Let’s not forget who was president when this alleged “meddling” took place.

The media has made it their job to ruin him from the very beginning, but so many of us are forgetting it’s NOT the job of the media to tell us what to think. It’s their job to provide for us factual information to which we can scrutinize for ourselves.
