Obama condemns Muslim attack on Arkansas Army recruiters…not
President Obama announced his choice for Army Secretary this afternoon.
The news isn’t what he said in his statement about GOP Rep. John McHugh:
“As Secretary of the Army, he will ensure that our soldiers are trained and equipped to meet the full spectrum of challenges and threats of our time. And John [McHugh] shares my belief that a sustainable national security strategy must include a bipartisan consensus at home, and he brings patriotism and a pragmatism that has won him respect on both sides of the aisle. I look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead.”
The news is what he left out.
Not a word about the jihadi attack on the two Army recruiters in Arkansas. No condemnation of the heinous attack and senseless violence. No condolences for the families of the targeted men or praise for the military recruiters who have been under increasing attack on U.S. soil. No statements from the DOJ or Pentagon, either.
Nothing.

Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic notices similar whitewashing by government-funded NPR, which failed to report the name and religion of recruiter-murdering suspect Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad:
Why not tell people what is actually happening in the world? We saw this a couple of weeks ago, when the press only gingerly acknowledged that the malevolent though incompetent suspects in the synagogue bombing-conspiracy case in New York were converts to Islam. How is the public served by this kind of silence? The extremist Christian beliefs of George Tiller’s alleged murderer are certainly relevant to that case, and no one in my profession is hesitant to discuss them. Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?

Cluelessness to the nth degree. Trying to get Muslims to like him based on his name and family. To Islam he is an infidel. Period. Is he claiming to be a Christian Muslim? This will be interesting to say the least.
Islamic terrorism is so yesterday, guys. It’s not hip anymore. Christian terrorism, on the other hand, is also yesterday, but it’s always hip because it fits the Left-wing view of the world. In their view, all evil originates from the Bush Administration and its Right-wing Christian supporters. Anything that does not fit this preconceived view, like the William Long shooting, is a random event that can be ignored.
But rest assured, the Obama Administration is keeping us safe – safe from the widespread Christian jihadi uprising they know is right around the corner. And if a “rare” Islamic attack just happens to occur while their backs are turned, well, they have that covered too. The government run media is already hard at work blaming the next 9-11 disaster on Bush and Cheney.
It’s the bigotry of low expectations. Followers of the cult of
moo-Ham-edmoo-ham-head are expected to act like animals.fixed for you
that should get a reaction from the religion of peace followers here and libturds of course.
*P-BO must be really conflicted on this one, thinking maybe that might have been him 23 years ago, but alas, he then met Rev. Wright, Calypso Louie, and Bill Ayres, and all was right with the world; A strange CiC indeed that can’t bring himself to publicly put those fine young men and their families in his thoughts and prayers after falling victim to domestic terrorism from Radical Islam.
*And what is it with so many black folks falling for this 7th century invented religion of death cult savages?; They must be well pleased with dead ends.
I get now… BHO’s our “Panderer-in-Chief“…
At this point a military coup would be a great relief to this country… before the libs destroy our might … and timely too, with the Barack Hussein headed to Egypt to flaunt his touchy-feely Muslim side…
Local radio here had on today Robert Spencer from Jihad Watch. He explained all the dirt that’s been uncovered on this guy, and a whole lot more. I’ve often wondered how so many young, black men buy into the whole Islam thing, and now I know. It al boils down to race-baiting and lies.
As far as Obama is concerend, I did my part prior to last November to warn those I know that this guy is an a$$hole, but to no avail. We’re stuck with it for now. Let’s hope we live thru it.
Barry Soetoro (aka Barack Obama) is Muslim. He doesn’t speak out against the murder of the soldier by a Muslim because he is on the same side as the murderer is.
Contrariwise,Obama hates Christians and loves the murder of children. Tiller murdered 60,000 innocent people & now that he’s dead, Obama feels a deep loss.
Y’know, I’m really starting to despise the disgusting people that voted for Obama… only thing is that McCain would be about the same, so what’s the sense of holding a grudge?
How the HELL did we get stuck with this Oboingo? It’s almost as unbelievable as Ahnold being governor of Calllifornia. I blame it mostly on the MSM and a LOT of stupid voters.
Visiting Seattle for a couple weeks and am not surprised to see almost every car with an Obongo sticker
The Adhan is the Islamic call to prayer, and begins with
four recitals of the words
followed by two recitals each of [translated]
and then [translated]
Lest we forget…
Obama confessed with his own mouth, in a first-rate Arabic accent,
and then [translated]
Now, he says the United States also could be considered as
“one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.”
Should we really expect the most liberal man to hold the office of President of the United States to say anything to alleviate the suffering or to condemn the perpetrator in an attack on a Military Recruiting office? Isn’t that like asking Code Pink to be the honor guard at the funeral of a soldeir killedi n Iraq?
What gripes me is that MSNBC’s website has yet to report this story! It’s a bona fide news story, for crying out loud. What cowards they are! But, oh baby, they couldn’t wait to headline some story today alleging that a Marine recruiter pimped out a teen. MSNBC makes me sick.
Well, IMHO, along with MSM-fanned Bush hate, white guilt and the desire to “make good” via a “historical” election played A LOT in this. We should FORGET about 2012; The Bamba’s going to sack it, no matter what happens, trust me from the core of his roots! They and libs will ALWAYS blindly vote for him and the MSM won’t rest till we’re nanny Sweden so expect no relief there. The prize is in 2016 — unless the Dems set up a Hispanic candidate to succeed him! I love my lil’ niece who said it best; “Why (are Republicans) so afraid of telling Spanish people that illegal immigrations wrong unless all Spanish people believe it’s right??” From the mouth of babes!

NavyMon, oops, your bad. Do I hear an apology coming?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31068479/
Why should she? The story is posted more than 24 hours after the event, and even you could not bring it to thread for more than 36 hours after.
Tiller’s story was coast to coast tv headline before the body stopped bleeding.
When you add everything up. Obama’s name chage from Soweto to Obama, His dad being Muslim. Obama’s favortism to muslims, bowing to the king of Saudi, the attacks on christainity, you start to wonder if he really is a closet muslim. I am dying to hear the speech in Egypt. The transparency of government is not to the public’s liking.
Hey, can’t you just let him finish his falafel..er…I mean waffle?
As Commander in Chief, Obama has an obligation and duty to acknowledge the murder of an Army recruiter. He has zero obligation to acknowledge the murder of an abortionist. His silence is deafening.
He has not assumed the role of CinC yet, but still in ‘organizer’ and aggitator mode.
Then again, he may never do anything becoming of the office of POTUS.
Obama’s true feelings and agenda are becoming clearer every passing hour. He is Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces, yet feels the murder of an abortion doctor is more tragic and more worthy of his condolences than the murder of a soldier. Now, he is over kissing the a$$ of the Saudi King. Next, on to Egypt to spout off about his muslum roots. Interesting that no one heard about those “roots” when he was campaigning for Pres. In fact, his opponent, Juan McAmnesty, forbid anyone to even mention that Obama’s middle name was Hussein! Everything was covered up by the complicit MSM…his associations, his muslum background, his socialist agenda…everything. And now we are stuck with him. Chicago thug, black supremicist, socialist, muslim, America-basher, and our president. It doesn’t get any sicker than that.
Just how ignorant does one have to be to have not seen this last year? A child could have figured it out with or without the help from the MSM. Have we really become that pc?
I agree. There is no way the American people can make this mistake again! And as for those hybrid cars…I refuse to drive one of those tin-foil kiddie cars!! What about my daughter and her husband who have 2 kids and a big dog? Those dangerous cars will not sell. Period!
Half this country IS ignorant! Ever watch Jay Leno’s “Jay-Walking” segment? He even asks “duh” questions of school teachers and they can’t answer! Basic, simple questions. Yes, this country is definitely that ignorant.
Probably not, but as long as mainstream has the green $hit$, we’ll be in for a long and expensive ride.
Yeah, but at least he is black!
Someone has gotten your e-mail address from that letter you sent. That someone had to be in the White House, wouldn’t he? If that is the case, it would be interesting to trace it back and prove where that nasty comment originiated. A response like that from the WH would make the Glenn Beck show for sure!
How could he get away with that? Wouldn’t that be grounds for his execution at the hand of a Jihadist? Turning your back on your muslim roots is a big no-no!
I checked the huff & puff & blow your house down site, still no mention of the slain soldier by a guy of the same religion as their beloved America hating pres. and the comments in some threads are all about what a great man Tiller was and how Fox news should be shut down for inciting the hate. Arianna Huffington is one of the biggest elitist hypocrites ever wasting oxygen. How she conned so many wealthy men into wining and dining her then making off with 50% of their money after they were stupid enough to marry the screeching shrillbot, i will never know. Her army of worthless tools waiting for their next talking points, I hope they all get mired in this rotten economy they chose to prolong with their freshman candidate, a failed economy from the DEMOCRATS after their credit and housing scams backfired!!!! Anyway, thoughts and prayers for the families of these patriots and hopes that the thug who did this is uncomfortable for the rest of his life, hopefully not a long one.
the propaganda department of the democrat party has now been put on notice. 1. the economy is improving thanks to the great and benevolent leadership of the one. 2. only enemies of the state are terrorists, so right wing christians, terrorists. left wing black panther thugs, not terrorists. talk radio, terrorists. msm who won’t even inform you of terrorist attacks here in the u.s., not terrorists. islamists the world over who preach and teach hatred and murder, not terrorists, but the pope or any christian leader, terrorist. you get the point. 3. i, your potus, am only a muslim when i am in muslim lands, which the u.s. is not quite yet, so i am christian and you are forbidden from using my full name. 4. those who contributed GENEROUSLY to my magnificent campaign will be rewarded with the businesses i confiscate, uh liberate from the greedy rich, so unions, heres to you, gubmint motors. if we could only find a deserving union at aig, we could give them that company, ditto citigroup. but those guys did contribute fairly heavily to my coffers so i may let them live. but you chrysler and gm dealerships who support republicans, buh-bye. 5. now how about a rousing chorus of kumbaya.
Barack Obama is supposed to be the commander-in-chief of these Army recruiters, and their murder ought to be handled like as it would be if anyone in his personal administrative staff were killed by a maniacal Muslim. That he hasn’t even said a single word about it shows that being commander-in-chief of our armed forces is irrelevant to him. All he cares about is social experimentation and remaking America in his image.
That won’t be the story from the state-ruled media, so the majority of the uneducated dolts in this country (the Democrat base) are going to continue believing that Obama is their lord and savior.
What will happen is that Huffington & her fellows in the media will blame US for the failure, essentially because we wanted it to fail (just as they have wanted Capitalism to fail, while doing everything possible to sabotage it with socialist policies). Do not be surprised when this happens that they will call for us to have our citizenship revoked and thrown into camp Gitmo.
“Don’t fret?” There are 3 1/2 years left in this idiot’s administration, and you say we shouldn’t fret? That crazy dwarf in North Korea shooting missiles willy-nilly, and Iran is going full-forward toward becoming a nuclear threat, and we shouldn’t fret? The world is more dangerous than it’s every been, we have a “president” whose sole concern is to make the United States into a socialist worker’s Utopia (and he’s succeeding thus far in doing so), we have a populous that is ignorant in every possible way with regard to what an adult’s responsibilities are (they have given them up to the state), and a media that is going to report the what the state wants them to report, and you think that we shouldn’t fret?
I’m not going to be surprised when the “crisis” that VP Biden predicted comes, and it will be the pretext for the suspending of habeas corpus and the Constitution, and essentially the final death of the rule of law, ushering in a totalitarian oligarchy. There’s still 3 1/2 years for Obama and his handlers to utterly destroy every last portion of what used to be the United States, and to make the 2012 elections a moot point.
