Another right wing bombing attack against Muslims. No condemnation from Trump.

You people gave us the Central Park Five debacle. And Emmett Till. And the Oklahoma and Rosewood massacres. And countless others like them, past and present. You people need to sit down and stay quiet about lying.

Obama would've come out against this immediately.

Without any facts whatsoever. Exactly correct.

Obama would've come out condemning the bombing of a religious temple. Or likely any other significant bombing. Regardless of the perp, or political narrative.

That's the difference between him and Trump.

More importantly, and quite apart from who actually did it, why hasn't Trump spoken out and condemned such violence against innocent people?

Most telling, that.

Exactly!

Obama was very good with attempting to calm the people.

Trump will only use harmful events for political gain, stoking the fires of partisan politics and hatred. A truly despicable person!

It doesn't take conclusive proof of responsibility, to decry a heinous act.

There is little denying the fact a bombing took place.

Obama is knee-jerk. Emphasis on "jerk". Agreed.

For God's sake, follow the conversation.

I don't have crayon to explain this to you in pretty colors but the "you people" remark started here:

We're waiting to see if this was a faked crime. We all know how the left and muslims like to report crimes when none have happened. It may have been one of their own that did it.

Maybe if you people wouldn't lie so much, you would have more sympathy from normal folks? Just a guess. And let's not forget, CAIR is a terrorist front group.

Who is the right wing bomber? Is that not the subject of your thread?

I thought I saw where they knew or caught the guy.
If not then I retract.

Still he will get whatever punishment he deserves.

And he's got his neo-nazi goon Gorka out there rationalizing away why silence is acceptable from a POTUS.

This is in no way meant to defend Trump, but Obama's righteous indignation when it came to events like this during his terms in office were all over the place depending on the act, the actor, the target, the race of any party, and/or the religion of any of the parties.

Remember what Obama called "workplace violence" by a radicalized Islamist extremist who fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others? Just because Trump's a dick about some things like not reacting like a President should when these things happen, we need to remember that, well, in many instances Obama was a dick, too, just in a different way.

Or, what about blaming the Benghazi attack on a far right wing religious Christian that made a video rather than admitting what has been proven that he knew immediately, that it was an attack by Islamic Extremists from Ansar al-Sharia?

However, in the overall view of things, I agree with you in principle that Obama would have done something given the apparent opportunity (as the OP and numerous other posts in this thread have done) to use this event to paint the majority of, if not the entirety of, the right as intolerant, leading to and fomenting attacks like this.

Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel - "You never want a serious crisis go to waste." / I agree with him by the way. It's in time of crisis that you can move the otherwise immovable in the direction you want them to go. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama understood that in varying ways, but Trump doesn't seem to understand it at all.
 


.....Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.....

I don't know why people keep claming that Iraq didn't have WMDs when it's so easily proven that they did.....like does Halabja mean nothing to them?

Absolutely. It was heinous and tragic. But the thread title... "Another right wing bombing attack against Muslims. No condemnation from Trump." That's a lot of assumption based on a bombing with no suspects arrested or information thereof. If I were to be a betting man on it I'd bet on it being a right-wing move but to outright claim that it is from what we have...?

He was. Just because you threw temper tantrums over his presidency and he didn't come to your house to personally calm you doesn't mean he didn't.

Really? His first engagement in racial politics was the Henry Gates incident where with no knowledge in the incident what soever he fanned the flames of racial hatred and set the tone for his 8 years in office. And he was simply wrong.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not blaming racial unrest on Obama...we have plenty already. But to claim Obama was good at attempting to calm the people? That's just historically ignorant or dishonest.
