Of course Wolf Blitzer immediately reaches for this, because he doesn’t believe that there are Islamic jihadis at all. It doesn’t fit his network’s narrative. And vehicular jihad? Wolf has never heard of such a thing.
“Wolf Blitzer Speculates Barcelona Attack May Be ‘Copycat’ Of Charlottesville [VIDEO],” by Anders Hagstrom, Daily Caller, August 17, 2017:
CNN host Wolf Blitzer speculated on air Thursday the terror attack in Barcelona might be a “copycat” of the Charlottesville attack.
“There will be questions about copycats. Questions, if what happened in Barcelona, was at all, at all, a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Blitzer said. “Even though they may be different characters and different political ambitions, they use the same killing device. A vehicle going at high speed a group, a large group, of pedestrians.”…
One of the first instances occurred Jerusalem in 2015 when a Palestinian man drove his car straight into a crowded bus stop. In Nice, France in 2016, a Islamic terrorist drove a truck through a crowded boardwalk during Bastille Day celebrations, killing nearly 100 people.
In December 2016, Another Islamic radical drove a truck through a crowded Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12. ISIS has encouraged using speeding vehicles to commit acts of terror since as early as 2015, and inspired at least three major attacks in the last half of 2016….

Do they have any shame at all? m
Bev says
No.
Georg says
Not at all. They take a perverse joy in this evidenced by Obama’s talk (in Spanish) of hugging, everyone stands shoulder to shoulder, lights candles, sings songs… it’s a veritable orgy.
Corky says
Blitzer is a monotonous news reader! Absolutely no real news acumen.
VRWC member77 says
Corky,
I would say:
*** Blitzer = MONSTER ***
And you’re correct as CNN is an unmasked propaganda outlet. Jeff Zucker pulls the strings and blitzer obeys. They are both repulsive and will aid in getting more people killed.
PaulM says
Clearly, Blitzer is a genius and is very well researched and is the epitome of a puzzle solving savant, (read: leftist idiot). I am waiting for him to come up with incontrovertible historically established proof that it was ancestors of Donal Trump that created slave trading and whom are actually responsible for every single heinous act ever perpetrated by mankind, all the way back to Adam and Eve. With Blitzer’s amazing research team whom are omnipotent and prescient in all things, all of mankind’s woes and the reason for their existence will finally be laid at the feet of those responsible, Trump and his team.
murad says
Oh yes. He regurgitates, as everyone else in the west, the expected words, ideas, and empty rhetoric and not to blame muslims is trendy now so that we can get more of them.
That way he can keep his job or the dictatorship will sack him.
Carolyne says
Maybe Blitzed can enlighten us as to how his ancestor, old Cornelius Vanderbilt, got his money?
Blitzed is an idiot. I believe that Muslims were the first to commit vehicular homicide so who copied whom?
paul says
These people are being used by CAIR, and other muslim terrorist groups, like Soros putting $15 ads on Craigs list for these parasites.. They have no idea what the statue means. Its EXACTLY the way they, the muslims are destroying churches in the middle east. Its time to start picking them up and getting the story out of them. Funny. The KKK Klan cars used to get there, some have obama stickers on the bumpers. Its NOT what it seems folks. Follow the money!.

Imboonga says
You honestly can’t make this shit up! At some point even liberals are going to have to acknowledge that ‘slay the unbelievers wherever you find them’ actually means ‘slay the unbelievers wherever you find them’.
mgoldberg says
And he’s in no danger of being fired, having to explain himself, or anything of the sort.
On the other hand, Pres Trump had to explain, according to all the nitwits at CNN why he didn’t immediately name the alt right, nazi’s, kkk as haters and therefore dems were discussing the idea of censuring the president.
You can’t make this stuff up…..
murad says
Can President Trump close CNN and any fake news outlet. ?
Terry says
In answer to your question, NO. pres. trump cannot close CNN and other fake news outlets.
However, the other day, in a news conference, he mentioned fake news, as opposed to real news.
AND, I AGREE WITH HIM- RE CONFEDERATE STATUES. THEY ARE STATUES–nothing more.
You don’t like the person or cause they honor, don’t go to them, or near them. Nobody forces one to.
John Forbes says
I believe that it is going to take a lot more dead to make the WEST admit that there is a HUGE issue with ISLAM & its teachings !
There will have to be a couple of what the IRA used to refer to as “SPECTACULARS” to get any government & their people to face this threat !
Currently there is mass denial & refusal to even look & this is aided by Muslim Protection organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood & C.A.I .R & other BOGUS organizations !
The WEST is for the most part rally NAIVE & want to believe in the STUPID IDEOLOGY of MULTICULTURALISM mainly because it has been presented by very DISHONEST politicians as a SOCIAL EQUALIZER & ANTI RACIST doctrine when NOTHING could be further from the TRUTH !
Multiculturalism is a DISASTER for the HOST COUNTRY with the deliberate & targeted destruction of both the PRIDE & CULTURE of the HOST & the DELIBERATE & FORCED introduction of another FAITH & CULTURE ( ISLAM)
This has never been EXPLAINED or VOTED on & VERY DISHONEST PARTIES & POLITICIANS are enacting laws to both ensure that this happens & also that DISSENT is STAMPED OUT !
This is why the POLITICAL PARTIES & POLITICIANS are an UTTER DISGRACE !!!
somehistory says
Too bad he is not a *lone wolf* in saying this nonsense.
Refusing to see it has been happening for years by moslums using large trucks and heavy cars to run down innocent people on the street as being islum’s terror is a defect of people like him.
Guest says
Charlottesville was not the first time someone ran over people with a car
Georg says
Only the first time CNN and their pundits became interested and decided it was a time to “name and shame”.
Mockingjay says
Touché!
ed says
I thought it was a religion of murder and hate crime before it was known who did it in Charlottesville .
jihad3tracker says
In the emails we will be sending to family, friends, mainstream news media, PLEASE scrupulously avoid using “terrorism” from now forward.
Start calling it “JIHAD”, and explain why. And also begin to speak and write of MUSLIM HATE, because the Left seems to have a monopoly — so far — on that description.
jihad3tracker says
Clarification —— The Left has successfully used “hate” as a descriptor for any speech that it disagrees with. But leftists would NEVER mention Islam’s essential supremacism, so we must begin to speak of Muslim hate as the motivator for slaughter such as happened today.
paul says
The left brought us slaves, and the KKK
Bev says
No.
David M says
Politicians in Australia call them Islamists, & in their mind that has nothing to do with Islam!
Bev says
I decided several weeks ago to call them Islamists, instead of muslim. Islam is an horrid ideology that believes the only way to get to heaven is to kill the nonbeliever. Nothing good has ever come from Islam.
Wellington says
Bev; If you call them Islamists you are falling into the narrative, a false one, that there is a distinction between Islam and Islamism and Muslims and Islamists. You actually give a pass to Islam when you use a word like Islamism or Islamist because then people aplenty will all the more likely go on and on about how Islam and Muslims are just fine and the real problem is Islamism and Islamists.
So, reconsider this matter because right now you are AIDING the exculpation of Islam by doing what you said you decided to do several weeks ago. Yes indeed, reconsider. CALL THEM MUSLIMS!
gravenimage says
True, Wellington.
Sog says
Islam gives us sharia.
Sharia is grotesque.
PaulM says
Bev; Wellington is right and in truth, you are absolutely right as well!! I have read the Q’uran several times. Call it what you will, The Q’uran is the “Bible” of Islam, Muslims, Islamists, Islamism, It is their guide and is the basis for their entire belief system. It is a vile, cruel, perverse piece of filth. Written by a sexual deviant child molesting thief and a liar. I challenge any one to rebut what I say, using the Q’uran and only that, for those that espouse it as a religion of peace. Bullshit, I truly believe that if that demented pervert tried to have his filth printed today, that there is not one publishing house on earth that would touch it with a ten foot pole.
PRCS says
The meaning of the word “terrorism” is so broad, it’s useless vis-à-vis understanding violent, physical ihad.
The deceitful nature of that euphemism, its whitewash of the real issue, is the primary reason to not use it.
IMO, Muslims are–generally–quick to denounce terrorism and violence to (a) avoid the consequences (to both the ummah and themselves) of publicly admitting that Islam’s texts actually do teach hatred of and violence toward “filthy unbelievers”, and (b) because they know that most of the world’s kuffar (politicians and so-called journalists in particular) don’t seem to know much about Islam and therefore aren’t likely to put them on the spot with tough, knowledgeable challenges to their sleight of hand.
In watching news reports about Barcelona, today, I noted the use of many similarly ridiculous words by “reporters”: radicalized, extremists, etc.,–you know the drill.
I fully agree with the need to call this uniquely Islamic practice–jihad–by that name, alone.
John A. Marre says
Muslims deliberately drove vehicles into living humans long before Aug 14. So, according to Blitzer’s mind, Charlottesville was a copycat version of what Muslims had already done.
Henner720 says
Very telling. Make believe. They just do not get it. Thick sculled. For that operation in barca to happen it needs a purposefull will, hate is not enough, there is devine lagality , they are on mission from god, its the quranic imperative.
Greyhound Fancier says
They see Muslims as just another aggrieved minority, and therefore, as oppressed. Of course, CNN and the news media don’t see themselves as the oppressors.
Thanks by to God, I don’t understand how all that contradiction can reside between the same two ears.
Kesselman says
Has Wolf any sense of professional pride? What Bullock to emit at innocent media consumers.
Georg says
Funny he didn’t call Charlottesville a “copycat” of Nice. Bastards.
common sense says
Wolf Snitzer, Anderson Pooper and Mueller are perfect copy cats of the Gestapo in 1930 Germany since the Nazi party owned the German courts and national press. All 3 are a good fit for an SS officer’s uniform the scum bag Nazi POS that they are.
Janeatte says
This is happening when you open your boarders to Muslims they still thinking that Spain belongs to Muslims
Ciudadano says
My understanding is that copycats share the same methods and motivation than the original criminal. Obviously this jihad terrorist is a copycat of Nice’s terrorist.
Paul says
“CNN: Wolf Blitzer speculates Barcelona is “copycat” of Charlottesville”
What a knowingly dishonest piece of shit, pure and simple.
RIP the victims of Barcelona. May they go straight to God and the injured
pull through this. More innocent victims of the worshippers of Baal (‘allah’
being a modern version) on the one hand, facilitated to a huge extent
by corrupt Western worshippers of Mammon on the other.
WorkingClassPost says
It takes a lot to leave me speachless, but this not so lone Wolf Shitzler has done it.
Wellington says
Wolf Blitzer has never had a higher thought in his life. For the purpose of overall contentment for the individual this is actually a relief, a kind of positive in a sort of way. But for the purpose of things like truth and the advancement of the human condition it does no good and often does harm.
Herein lies Blitzer’s legacy. My God, what a mediocrity this man is.
mortimer says
Wolf Blitzer is nuts. ISIS has encouraged VEHICULAR JIHAD ATTACKS for years.
Wolf Blitzer is an ostrich with his head down in the sand or somewhere where there’s no information coming in that disturbs his ISLAM-IS-PEACE mantra.
MR. BLITZER, A LOBOMIZED PRIMATE WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING VIDEO:
Understanding Vehicular Jihad by David Wood – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oFzQSMSVgI
In the past year, we’ve seen vehicular terrorist attacks in France, the United States, Germany, and Great Britain. Given the success of these attacks, we certainly haven’t seen the last of them. Hence, our task now should be to understand vehicular jihad, so that we can eventually stop such attacks.
Henner720 says
Very telling. Make believe. They just do not get it. Thick sculled. For that operation in barca to happen it needs a purposefull will, hate is not enough ( not even the motive), there is devine lagality , they are on mission from god, its the quranic imperative.blitzer is outgrown. Reality have made him dinousaur. Its often that way. Things develop in parallel way not quite linearly, and the ‘blitzer’ model ;we are pc educated first crop , holds no more water ( but hes stuck i that he repeated the shit for so msny years and jobless to.orrow if he try to be a man about it), in fact he is leathal and needs to be replaced with MEN, rememver MEN, who stern and quitetly repeatd the fact. ( fire mcmaster to). Islsm do this with purpose sirenly calm and collected cold as a investmentbsnker , and they know there trade , witch for them have the same common sence, ‘ as dino blitzer projects westerness into muslims motives. Utter redundsnt removable subject he is.

CNN: Wolf Blitzer speculates Barcelona is “copycat” of Charlottesville
…………………
Ludicrous. Has he forgotten Nice, and the attack on the Christmas market, and all the other vehicular Jihad terror attacks–or does he he just hope that *we* have?
WPM says
The Bridge Jihad in the rented SUV in London with the stabbing of unarmed English police officer outside the officers of P.M. May. Her police can carry guns the poor bobby in the street had no side arm and no bullet proof vest that might have stop the knife!
RodSerling says
I doubt that Blitzer is “speculating” or that he’s crazy or anything along those lines. This is politically-motivated narrative, hammering relentlessly on specific talking points no matter the actual content of a story. It is not a sincere or legitimate attempt at discussing this news. Most of the media talking heads and their bosses are just flaunting in our faces that they have the power to spew these falsehoods.
VRWC member77 says
Agreed.
blitzer is a leftist punk-b*tch of Zucker and they throw this garbage out there to keep their idiot base riled up to vote in 2018.
Voytek Gagalka says
Of course, since the ancient time of Cain murdering Abel, there were always “copycats” of murderers’ methods. What this supposes to prove, Mr. Blitzer? That this “Spanish” jihadi came to his idea by observing Charlottesville attack? Unlikely.
dumbledoresarmy says
He’ll have egg on his face when the investigation of the attack unearths – as it undoubtedly will – that the Muslim mass-murderer in Barcelona had been planning and plotting this mass-murderous attack for a long time… like, since *before* the Charlottesville attack.
And what will he do if it’s discovered that the plotter/s had on the computer copies of the Islamic State incitement to vehicular jihad??
rich says
Please. There is no way an educated man who has been watching the news in Europe for the past year actually believes Barcelona was “inspired” by what happened in Virginia. Whoever told him to say this on the air took it way too far. It’s an obvious reach, even for CNN.
Norger says
The fact that ISIS has been specifically calling for vehicular jihad attacks for well over a year couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this, could it, Mr. Blitzed? The reality is that Charlotte was the “copycat” attack.
Papa Bear says
2006 North Carolina is the first I recall. Muslim of Iranian background drove into a crowd. Many, many more since. The would be Nazi is the copycat.
gravenimage says
You are right, Papa Bear. I was thinking the first was the San Francisco SUV Jihad terror attack, but North Carolina as a few months earlier.
Karen says
Wolf, maybe Charlottesville and Barcelona are copycats of the London Bridge attack.
Andy says
Hey Wolfey Blitzkerg and Jake Tapper Pekkerhead Listen to some REAL NEWS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dujJtM3WlW0
jewdog says
Probably Charlottesville was a copy-cat attack, not Barcelona. Also, some of the acid attacks in Britain may be copy-cat attacks a la Pakistan and elsewhere. They have been inspired by Islamic jihadis, those leaders of men, the subhuman kind.
Mockingjay says
Mr. Blitzer must be suffering from Alzheimer.
RickeyG says
I speculate that Wolf is an idiot…
Wellington says
Rickey G: If only he were. Problem is he’s just an average nothing. Were he an idiot he would not be where he is His enormous mediocrity is the problem, not idiocy.
Understand, I sympathize with you wanting to call Blitzer an idiot because enormous mediocrities like Blitzer often state very foolish things. Yes indeed, the real problem is uninformed “averageness.” This is far more lethal in the long run for civilization than mere idiocy.
Jim Conch says
The people at CNN are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. And Wolf B is one of the dullest.
stan lee says
Blitzer, you have deteriorated from being an able news man into a Leftist “yes” man! At one time, I actually respected you!
Barcelona reminds us of every tragedy in which numbers of innocents were killed, and Charlottesville, while a sad situation, the loss of a young woman’s life, and various cuts and bruises from two groups who were eager to get at each other, cannot be compared to Jihadi murder missions as in California and multiple occasions in Europe.
What were you thinking, Blitzer? Just trying to uphold CNN’s news unworthiness? CNN’s motto ought to be, “We fake the news and we decide.”
More Ham Ed says
Wolf Blinker.
I’d like to say he’s a lone WOLF but sadly he’s part of the looney left.
Douglas says
There used to be a time a man such as this would be an embarrassment to his profession. A so called journalist and a so called educated man has no knowledge of the terror groups calling for and launching vehicular attacks for a few years has no business working in the reporting department what so ever.
Paul says
Proof positive that for the American media, the world ends at the Atlantic/Pacific coastlines.
Baucent says
The media are just wild that these Jihadists have drawn the spotlight away from the actions of one mad neo-nazi. They wanted to talk about “white supremacists” and Trumps latest comments for weeks and now selfish Jihadists have stolen the limelight. Blitzer’s comment was a cheap shot. Actually the reverse is true, and he know’s it. Mad and bad people have begun copying what muslims unleased on the world, beginning in Israel then followed by the Nice attack.
James Stamulis says
My God why on earth is the MSM still allowed to put out nothing but fake news? They should have had their licenses revoked a long time ago! Virginia was a false flag and not even a good one done by the Soros/Obama/deep state!!!
John A. Marre says
Wolf is a liberal. Liberals don’t care about the truth. He is a newsreader. Newsreaders are not paid to read the truth, but to promote a liberal agenda. If his words convince even one person, they are worth saying, in his mind.
He will never apologize for that.
Dov Berrol says
Wolf Blitzer should know better.
The first jihadi terrorist attack using a vehicle to kill people took place in Yerushalayim in July 2008….9 years ago. Just look it up Wolf…or maybe you don’t know how to use the internet.
CNN lost all credibility years ago…it’s no wonder television was once called the “boob tube”.
Terry says
Back in 1961 or 1962 ( SO 55 YEARS AGO) JFK HAD AN OFFICIAL NAMED NEWTON MINNOW ( I THINK HE WAS AN FCC OFFICIAL) WHO SAID THAT T.V. IS ” A VAST WASTELAND”, that never lived up to its promise.
More than a half century later, still true– a vast wasteland
Steve Sarchett says
Demonstrates the level of intelligence that CNN news reporters have. Barcelona a “copycat” of the Charlottesville attack. R-U serious? You just can’t get any dumber than this. CNN should fire this fool!
