Maybe not a hoax device, but the fact that it didn't work and the left REALLY needs to have a story where the right is as bad as the left (see: Pelosi mobbed) tells me this is a hoax.

And now, as if to PROVE it is a setup made to look like the right attacking the left, right before election time, CNN/Obama/Clinton all got the same package. Why, it's almost as if it was coordinated to time right out with the election, to show it's really the right not the left doing the things the left do.
MSN said:
Wouldn't be the first hoax the left performed for the public.
Almost every Racist, Anti-Semetic or anti-immigrant action news item of late has turned out to be a hoax.
Add this one too.
At this point, the perpetrator(s) being a left-wing crazy makes as much sense as a right-wing crazy.

It does have the indications that it came from the same person/people. As to whether it was politically motivated... anyone jumping to these conclusions is just making a fool of themselves through their own political motives. It very well could be a terrorist group testing our mail system to high level people.
I wonder how long it will take someone in the MSM to say it "could be" the Russians?

So, you'd pick a billionaire who funds leftists causes, the last president, and the last Dem nominee? And, while all reportedly (key word) have explosives in them, NONE of them go off?
Keep in mind, the "blue wave" has dissipated for the most part, and much of the reason is given to the violent actions on the left turning people away. #Walkaway and all that.
How does a good Alinskyite handle such a thing?
They would create a situation where the other side is just as bad or worse, creating a situation where people who would leave the left just to not support that behavior turn back to the left since the right is just as bad (reportedly). After all, this wasn't sent to Fox, it was sent to CNN. It wasn't sent to Condoleezza Rice, but to HRC. It wasn't sent to the Koch's, it was sent to Soros. It "must" be the right doing it, right? So, might as well turn back to the left, walkawayers. Time to energize yourself again, since the right was caught up on the "energized voter" polls!
This is transparent as glass, and my guess is it will work. No one gets hurt, reputations are damaged, "anything to win" prevails.

Just more evidence it's another leftist hoax.

If you're asking me to get inside the sick mind of someone who would do something like this and tell you how I'd do it, I don't have an answer for you. This isn't even remotely something I could ever conjure up.
If you want to believe this is a left-wing diversion to make it look like someone on the right is doing this, believe me I have already thought about that. This knocked the caravan off the radar, because it didn't seem to be working. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Soros was behind it. If this is true, they better be good at covering their tracks.
But, I'm just not willing to assume anything when we know so little about it. I am not going to stick any opinion out there only to find out I'm wrong. There are crazies on both sides that I can imagine this happening. I can also imagine this being Islamic terrorists testing our mail system.

It's pretty stupid really.
No way any of these people pick up their own mail.
So whoever sent it knew it would be discovered.
Potential explosive.---------Maybe if you took a blow torch to it.
These things won't explode and whoever sent it was sending a message
Who they are ,and what message is the question.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wasn't a leftie stirring up trouble right before the election.

Bomber Sends Explosives To Hillary, Obama, Soros, Holder. Leftists Blame Trump. Right-Wingers Claim False Flag. Everything Is Terrible.
Yet the parallel responses of some on the Left and Right has been wildly disheartening, to say the least. The proper response to political violence isn’t to blame those who aren’t responsible for political violence — Bernie Sanders wasn’t responsible for the Congressional baseball shootings despite his anti-Republican rhetoric, nor was Barack Obama responsible for the targeting of Dallas police officers despite his critiques of supposedly systemic police racism. Yet some on the Left blamed President Trump and Republicans more broadly for the bombing attempts.

We don’t know who sent these bombs. But what we do know is that the rush to blame the other side of the political aisle for acts of violence condemned by everyone is actually a demonization technique that makes such attacks more likely. Castigating your political opposition as evil enough to bomb public officials gives heart to people who believe that political opposition must be fought with violence. Not only that, it makes attempts to censor speech that much more likely — after all, if speech can this easily promote violence, don’t we have to curtail speech in order to prevent such violence?
We’re living in an increasingly ugly time. That ugliness will only be exacerbated, not alleviated, by attempts to point fingers without evidence, blaming convenient political targets for acts of individual evil.

I think that the mail-testing is possible, but highly unlikely. Could it be a fanatic? Of course. I am going with the common sense likelihood.
