Fact is her statement was correct. Iraqi “immigrants” were attempting to procure weapons of war. Another fact is that the Left’s collective head’s are going to explode for the next 8 years, because this administration trolls the Leftist Media on a 4D chessboard, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2qvMri81wk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2qvMri81wk) ---

> [@arfurvirus](#): > > this administration trolls the Leftist Media Thanks for that candid admission that the current Administration is so dishonest and irresponsible that the only communication it deigns to hold with the public it purports to serve consists of outright lies and trolling. At that, I think you are likely being too optimistic. The disinformation coming out of this secretive and paranoid Administration is probably about an equal mix of outright lies, trolling, and incompetent error. ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > You folks need to learn to read between the lines. It’s obvious “Bowling Green Massacre” is anagram code for “Gorm clans grab weenies”, and I’m sure I don’t need to point out the significance of that. Check again: it isn’t _“gorm clans”_; it’s **“Gorn clams”**. Obviously an oblique reference to Xenu and Operation Clambake. Them rascals in Clearwater are up to something again!

Bowling Green, Kentucky population: 61,488 A tangent, but one interesting psychological aspect of the terror wars is that red staters are the ones most concerned about a big attack, yet the least likely to be a target. Blue staters are the ones most likely to be hit, yet they’re chill about it. Good job, conservative amygdalas. I think it was IOZ who said after 9/11 the govt should’ve passed out 150 million plastic bed liners and called it a day. ---

Excellent point, marshmallow. There’s a reason Kelly Anne didn’t invent, say, the “Philadelphia massacre” or “Seattle massacre” instead. ---

> [@arfurvirus](#): > > Fact is her statement was correct. Iraqi “immigrants” were attempting to procure weapons of war. No. Her facts and your claims are lies: There was no “massacre” at Bowling Green. Obama did not “ban” Iraqis for six months. Obama’s action was a reasonable response that was not like Trump’s hateful, unthinking and nation-damaging ban. Obama tightened up the visa vetting process, (so that Trump’s claims about doing that are bullshit), without ever resorting to a ban that is separating families, inflicting harm on people trying to come to the U.S. for medical care, causing American companies to lose the services of their employees, angering our allies, endangering people in Iraq that have already supported us, and making the U.S. look like North Korea. ---

Clearly she was talking about the Bowling Green vs toledo fotball game from 1935 where toledo won 63-0. Practically a war crime. ---
