Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extremism

Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

It is incredibly stupid to support the usage of the term "radical Islam" because in doing so you are essentially handing a propaganda victory to terrorists by associating them with genuine Islam. So anybody who supports usage of this term is supporting shooting ourselves in the foot. The irrational desire to use the term even when it is strategically harmful to do so can only be explained as a ignorant attitude towards Islam generally, which is totally unacceptable. Usually you see this sort of idiocy from the Republicans, it is a bit surprising to see it from a Democrat this time. Glad that she is facing backlash.

Just because Obama says something does not make it true.

Too many liberals are just yes-men

We are not giving the Islamic state any propaganda victory, they are not looking for the world's approval. While we are debating whether or not to call them Moslems, the Islam state is probably calling themselves Moslems and exclaiming that as they kill people.

Do they pray to alah? Read the Koran? Pray fives times a day?

Are they not 'radical".....and unless you are an Imam, who are you to say who is and who is not Muslim.

Obama's sneaky peak at Orwellian newspeak will not work, is an irrelevant diversion from the fact he's losing the war.

I also like how conservatives equate disagreement with one female to a systematic effort to erode the rights of women.


One name:

Sarah Palin.

What you progressives have proven to me is that you will eat your young with relish.....

"Whore", "slut" and so forth kind of set a new gutter of hate from which you guys operate.
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

"Radical Islam" is a poor choice by which to refer to headchoppers but "Teahadists" is fine to use when referring to pretty much any Republican.

Got it.

I recall "jihadists", "traitors" and "terrorists" hurled at duly elected members of the house and senate. I find it incredibly ironic that a man who strutted into the Oval Office and declared Republicans "enemies" would now wage a campaign, higher profile than the "war" itself, to re-brand America's real enemies.
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

Hillary? Are you really using Hillary as the ideological barometer for the Democratic Party? Last I looked Obama was still leader of the Democratic Party, President of the United States and issuing unconstitutional executive orders and further pushing unconstitutional legislative actions through federal executive committees like the FCC, EPA, IRS, DOJ, DHS, HHS etc. and the Democratic Party is destroying one of its most promising young politicians because she dares to differ with Obama on an issue you need to be brain dead or drunk on political koolaide if you agree with him.

If/when Hillary receives the nomination, you might have a point to make but you’re just talking out of the side of your neck until then.

This is just the beginning-as the obots reflexively defend Obama regardless of his actions, they will do the same for Hillary. Wait until next year.

As they say in the south, thats how they do.
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

Hilary Clinton is going to be the nomination for the Democratic party in the 2016 Presidential Elections. Hilary clinton is anything but a far leftist. She isnt even a progressive, she isnt even a liberal. Shes a typical centrist Democrat. The Democrats have not "moved left". If anything they have moved more and more right with the massive far right conservative shift in the GOP in the last 7+ years.


I truly, for the sake of my American friends, hope you are right about Hillary getting the nomination. She is the easiest target, most vulnerable.

You say she is anything BUT a leftist. What is it she is for? What, in her record, including two kicks at reforming health care, indicates she is anything BUT Liberal?

And further, in light of the results of the last mid-terms where the Democratic Party with the support of Hillary was spanked worse than any other party in history in both congressional and state elections, where does it stand? The president of the party has said "we know we are right", the President and leader is escalating the socialist message, promising to create jobs for terrorists.

Are you saying that Hillary is opposed to the president and his current extreme left ideas? If so, please show where she has said so.

The truth is Hillary is over. She was a mythological wave of opportunity that crested and crashed in 2008. She is "old news".

I would love to see her run. It would be like watching a gazelle get taken down by a lion. The media wouldn't be able to prop her up, nor the lefty spin.

Yes, because leftism has become the religion of the anti-religious Democratic Party.

She tied her trousseau to Obama's jacket. I guess she believed the rhetoric. But she is too easily linked with everything wrong now.

There are no guarantees but it will take a total melt down of the Republican party, a huge split between centrists and far left. What will be key, as I have said, if them getting and maintaining the control of the dialogue and aim at the long term, over all good.

What will be the next scandal to come out about Hillary? Its just a matter of time.

Can the term "moderate Islam" be used.......or will that bring backlash to?
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

Excellent question, but as we know the left is always the arbiter of acceptable speech.

i don't know why in this age we live people are so caught up in what other people say, and always seem to be waiting to be offended.
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

If it were me running the party, I would let whatever scandals come her way develop or not on their own and concentrate on her results, first as Secretary of State and then a real good going over of every word uttered since. Each even remote affirmation of any Obama policy or plan can be rammed down her throat as she tries to weasel out from the current status of the country. She will have to have answers for the agenda HE set, including closing Gitmo, relations with Cuba, Amnesty and of course how to solve seven wars when she started with two.....

Hillary, like Lucy Ricardo, has some 'splanin' to do.
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

Thats not far off. We can't be trusted.

Well certainly not with knives that have blades longer than 2 1/2 inches. What does anyone really need with a butcher knife? The term itself tells you its entire purpose is to kill and don't even get me started on serrated edges.

Ain't it also funny that those people seem to be the same ones who cry about the "PC police?"
 
Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre

Shouldn't people of both parties applaud someone willing to speak Truth to Power. Wish we had more politicians on both sides willing to speak the truth, especially when it does not conform to "their side's" talking points.

Heya WN. :2wave: I am not against the average man or woman humiliating them in front of the camera. This needs to be done more often. Especially when they lie.

Of course with BO peep an his lost sheep there will be even more lies than most other Administrations. BO peep can't change whats always been in his Nature from his beginning.

Assault knives. Think of the children!

Knives were only ever intended for use by the military anyway.
