Well, he didn’t use those words for the same reason he didn’t say you committed pedophilia, Jonah.

It has not yet been confirmed that the gunmen who carried out the attack on Charlie Hebdo were Islamic terrorists.

Oh, that.

Doesn’t matter what Obama does or says, it’s never good enough.

I remember when this clown was known as Lucianne Goldberg’s kid, hung out at a bar called “The Toledo Lounge” in Adams Morgan, and most of the other regulars (including myself) thought he was a dick. If Monica Lewinsky hadn’t put Clinton’s wiener in her mouth back in 1998, today you’d be scratching your head saying, “Jonah who?”

Has this been confirmed? They were masked gunman. I think it would be unwise for the president to go off half-cocked like conservatives do only to have it wrong.

Is it ok if Obama labels the NAACP bombing ‘right-wing terrorism’? Hmmm, thought not.

Well, Eustace, this is pretty much the standard whine of Teabaggers: “Why isn’t the president as smart as us?”

The answer of course, makes the question one of the greatest instances of unintentional comedy on record.

And if PBO called it an act of terror, they’d complain he didn’t call it a terrorist act.

If we have to identify Islamic terrorism then we also need to identify right-wing terrorism, etc. Now wouldn’t calling some act of terrorism right-wing terrorism cause lots of Pubbie panties to get all bunched up?

they were shouting “Allah Akbar” (I heard it clearly in the amateur videos documenting the attack), and the magazine has previously been a target of threats from Muslim radicals. While I approve of your cautiousness, and it could be that these were ‘agent provocateurs’, I think it is pretty safe to assume by now that this was a terrorist attack.

He then said that the administration should have immediately made it clear that the attack was carried out by Islamic terrorists.

So, Obama is weak on terrorism because he doesn’t leap to conclusions without sufficient information, like a far-right propagandist does. Alrighty then.

Fair enough, but then surely Jonah won’t object when we call the bombing of that Colorado Springs NAACP HQ a “white Christian terrorist attack”.

This doughy pantsload hasn’t contributed one useful thing to society since he slithered out of his mother’s fruit fly-infested vagina.

The next time someone from Israel bombs or attacks Palestinians, let’s call that Israeli terrorism immediately! Then, let’s see of old Jonah is satisfied!

Well that took much longer that I thought it would.

why wouldn’t Goldberg call Tiller’s murder “Christian terrorism”?

This asshole is setting all kinds of records for ignoring the reality of a situation and blaming “That Black Socialist.” He might have at least prefaced his remarks with words of condolence for the victims and for France … but NOOOOOOOO … gotta get Obama. So far, all it’s doing is showing their one-track idiocy. Remember Benghazi? How about Fast and Furious? How about the IRS “Scandal?” Sickos. all of them.
