Why Was Obama Quick To Condemn Police Officers, But Not Quick To Condemn Nidal Malik Hasan?

Posted on 11/07/2009 9:45:52 AM PST by Laissez-faire capitalist

In your opinion, why was Obama quick to condemn Officer Crowley and the other police officers with him, but not quick to condemn Nidal Malik Hasan?

Why would Obama (after he said that he did not have all of the information) say that the police officers "acted stupidly" yet was not quick to condemn Hasan by calling him a Muslim terrorist?

Why does Obama show restraint when talking about people like Hasan, yet does not show restraint when talking about police officers like Crowley?

The thread title is a rhetorical question, yet posited so as to find out what people here have to say.

What say you?

Obama has grown since the beer summit, and will no longer rush to judgment....unless it has to do with Fox News, conservatism, or the role of government.

Because this was more of a shout out moment for a fellow Muslim.

The charitable position would be to simply say that all of his political instincts are wrong.

But a more accurate statement is that he is a traitor and that he hates white people and loves Islamic terrorists. I truly believe that.

Why does one have to even think of the reasoning. Carring this to the absurd, I wonder if obammma will have this terrorist over to the white house along with the brave cop who got four rounds center mass over for a beer.

You already know the answer to that now don’t you?

I’ve been wondering that myself.

Because Hasan is Obama’s brother in Islam. They are both America-hating Muslims.

It’s because of the thought processes of liberalism, and politically correct thought.

The liberal mind automatically takes any event with whites and blacks and jumps to conclusions that race was a factor. Thus, a liberal/radical such as Obama automatically assumes that the police had no reason to arrest the black professor.

The liberal mindset looks at events such as the Duke lacrosse case in the same way. They immediately jumped to the conclusions that the white lacrosse players violated the black stripper girl in unspeakable ways. If the races of the people involved had been reversed, then the liberal would bend over backwards to see that there is no rush to judgement in such cases. But, clearly the liberal mind is prejudiced in cases involving race.

So in the case of the Muslim army man on a shooting rampage, the liberal mind bends over backwards to not conclude that his religion had any impact on what he did. The liberal mind wants to be very tolerant of all religions except Judeo-Christian religions. So the liberal concludes, prejudicially, that Muslim religion was not a factor here.

Whereas in the case of the guys who have attacked abortion clinics or shot abortion doctors, the liberal is all over their religious connections as a cause.

Then what about Obama’s reaction to Tiller being shot?

Has Obama indeed truly grown?

I say there’s no special reason, really, it’s just one more example of BHO epitomizing the Peter Principle - he had absolutely no past executive experience, there was nothing in his background making him ready for the presidency, so it’s not terribly extraordinary that he makes so many gaffes. Sometimes, though, I do wonder what his wife thinks, with her tongue-tied hubby going out in public without a teleprompter. Inotherwords, it’s quite unlikely that his rudeness is anything NEW — it comes too naturally to him, LOL

I don't think that they ever bendover backwards -- to my view, there's no mental gymnastics involved. None at all. It all comes naturally to them.

I have been forcing myself to watch Chris Matthews and Rachel whats-her-name, and to listen to AIR AMERICA radio.

These people are genuine -- i.e., they authentically believe in every word they are saying, there is NO pretence, no mental gymnastics, no nothing but genuine authenticity.

They are representative of millions of our fellow citizens.

Scary, hey??!

Hell if the situation had been reversed you would see stories about how the stripper was racist for getting the community to pile on black men for false rape. You can bet she would have been locked up.

Obama is completely inept at what he has won. The presidency was not the goal for him. Complete fealty to him won't be enough I think. He will do or say anything that makes him popular to anyone but a conservative who has Christian beliefs.

I don't think he knows what the goal is. He has surrounded himself with people who have very specific goals and he's just going along them in the hopes that people will see him as he sees himself - a demigod.

Just look at the expression on his face in this pic. He's in love with the idea of being loved.

That is a question deserving of serious analysis.

I think if Hasan killed 12 homos at Ft Hood, Obama would be singin’ a different tune, Muslim or not
