Democrats Refuse to Say "Radical Islam"

No, I agree with the DNC commercial, for the reasons I stated. It's tactically better not to call it "Radical Islamist Terrorism" and it is a huge oversimplification to call it "Radical Islam".

LMAO. Of course you agree with it. That commercial is a joke. "Tactically better", my ass. I know u think democrats are some kind of geniuses (LOL) and saints who can do no wrong but pull your head out. I suppose, in your fantasy world of nothing but rainbows and sunshine, that when Obama said "ISIS is contained" right before the Paris attacks that that was "tactically better" too, eh?

Then by this logic calling a murderer a murderer is oversimplification.

It is true, he did say this.

It is obvious that he was saying the Daesh Caliphate's advancement has been geographically contained, that does not mean they are not a threat.

Sure sure, he always leaves himself a way out.

Or maybe he's just generally honest.

Honest? Maybe, generally no..

🤣 🤣

Seriously, dude... Obama and "honest" (just like Hillary and "honest"😉 are two words that should never be used in the same sentence; or even in the same paragraph for that matter.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor". LMAO. Or, better yet, "I'm a Christian". 😂

Sure you are, Obammy.

pretty sure they're opening a gay arab themed strip club or something tbh

Yeah here it is illegal to have that many people living in one place.

As for the arab themed strip club..I hear late at night they sometimes show ankle!!

Hmmm. I wonder if I should get upset that FOX and other republican sources don't call crazy white guys who go on murder sprees and burn down churches "domestic terrorists" or "racist" or "radical christians"(since by some peoples logic, a middle eastern terrorist is immediately "Radical Islam" and not a disgrace to 99% of the practicing religion and population who would disown them if they had that power.)They always call them "mentally unstable" or something like that.

Being upset at FOX over anything is a waste of energy. Watching paint dry would be a better use of said energy.

Actually Mike Huckabee called him a domestic terrorist. It's generally the left that has been calling mass shooters mentally ill.

Let's remember who else took that stance:

Overgeneralizing your opponent in order to include people who are *not* your opponent is a bad idea that helps your enemies because they use your blanket targeting as a recruiting tool.

Being mad at people for being more *specific* than you about who the enemy is is dumb and counterproductive.

And rallying about how "incredibly wrong" people in the other party are for taking a stance that your party's leadership used to openly say in recent memory, is silly and dumb.

👆

Calling somone a radical is not over generalizing. No amount of agreeing with a lie will change it to a truth. Obama has even called them radicals.

You are basically agreeing with a fairy tail.

TIL: Some right-wingers want to actually help ISIS with their propaganda machine and make it easier from them to recruit the easily impressionable

What a disgusting group of cavemen.

Right-wing media are scandalizing President Obama's refusal to conflate terrorism with all of Islam, attacking the president for not focusing on "Islamic extremism" in the three-day White House summit to combat violent extremism. But the conservative outrage ignores the fact that conflating terrorism with an entire religion would harm U.S. national security and foreign policy interests by alienating allied Muslim nations and play into the hands of terrorists who claim the U.S. is at war with Islam. -snip

Making more enemies and helping groups like ISIS more easily recruit impressionable idiots isn't a good idea.

ISIS desperately wants the West to bite into the "War on Islam" propaganda machine, as it directly helps their cause and many Conservatives seem more than happy to play along. It's baffling.
