I used to wonder why in the heck right-wing commentators on Fox News kept repeating the same mantra over and over again: sitting through the Republican debates, my eyes glazed over when I heard each and every candidate denounce the Obama administration for refusing to say the Sacred Words: “radical Islamic terrorism.” What are these people talking about, I thought to myself: they’re obsessed!
In short, I wrote it off as Fox News boilerplate, until the other day when, in the wake of the Orlando massacre, Donald Trump said the following on Fox: “Something is going on. He doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other.” Reiterating this trope later on in the same show, he averred that the President “is not tough, not smart – or he’s got something else in mind.”
The Beltway crowd went ballistic. Lindsey Graham had a hissy fit, and other Republican lawmakers started edging away from the presumptive GOP nominee. The Washington Post ran a story with the headline: “Donald Trump Suggests President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting.” Realizing that this level of bias was a bit too brazen, the editors changed it an hour or so later to: “Donald Trump Seems to Connect President Obama to Orlando Shooting.” Not much better, but then again we’re talking about a newspaper that has a team of thirty or so reporters bent on digging up dirt on Trump.
In any case, Trump responded as he usually does: by doubling down. And he did it, as he usually does, on Twitter, tweeting the following:

There is no doubt in my mind what Obama et al are doing. It is by design and plan. They have a purpose. Trump has not articulated this just yet, but he will...one way or the other. Their plan is simple....allow illegal immigration, including ISIS and other terrorist groups into America to destroy us. That was Obamas' plan all along. He is a Muslim terrorist supporter. He hates America. I can't wait to see the left go nuts when Trump finally comes out and says this. And he will.

Agreed and thanks.
DeleteObama's take on Islamic terrorism by refusing to mention it's name is sort of like the motivation by tobacco companies to refuse to acknowledge it's connection to lung cancer. I doubt Obama wants these massacres to happen as it is bad propaganda for muslims who he is sympathetic with due to his childhood.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Obama wants these massacres to happen
DeleteIf he doesn't, he certainly is making a pathetic attempt at control. I think he is an evil, commie Muslim.
