Via Alex Griswold, who cites a new Rasmussen poll showing that 56 percent of Democrats — Democrats — think we’re at war with “radical Islamic terrorism.†I’ve played this three times and still can’t believe I’m watching an ad from the Democratic Party pointing at George W. Bush as a role model on how to think about terrorism. The punchline is, Bush himself mentioned “radical Islam†in his presidential rhetoric; he even used it in the State of the Union, for cripes sake. He used the adjective “radical†because he wanted to suggest a distinction between “real†Islam and the version preached by jihadis — which is the same thing the Republican candidates featured in the ad are doing. It’s these DNC imbeciles, not the GOPers in the ad, who are effectively equating Islam with “radical Islam†by refusing to acknowledge the distinction. And the weirdest part, as Griswold says, is that if they wanted to show Republican suspicion of Muslims, they could have just stitched together some comments lately about barring Syrian Muslim refugees from the country. How come they didn’t do that? Is it because … a lot of Democratic voters agree with the GOP on that too?
Great timing, too:
Literally any other time of the year, voters might have just rolled their eyes at the unbearable PC-ness of it all. But the DNC ad comes after a series of major terrorist attacks across the globe… and after President Barack Obama gave a speech in response that left the impression that he was more fired up about attacking his domestic critics than taking on ISIS. To attack Republicans for “inciting fear†about radical Islam in the wake of nonstop news about radical Islamic terror is just an unbelievable misfire.
I think what happened here is that someone at the DNC decided that they needed to have Princess’s back after a week of him scolding Republicans about their insensitivity and so one especially dim liberal ad man was tasked with throwing something together. “Put George Bush in there,†he was told. “He always used to say ‘Islam means peace.’ He was such a good example.†This is a guy whom their base thought was some sort of new Hitler, and now they’re holding him out as an exemplar of … how not to incite fear. Am I awake?

Because we’re still disgusted with George Bush II saying ‘Islam is peace. Islam means peace?”
Bush knew damn well that Islam means ‘submission’ and the Islamic definition of ‘Peace’ is “Fight the infidel until he feels subdued and pay the jizzyah.”
You mean that “Bush/Hitler war criminal idiot” who Democrats said was responsible for everything wrong in the world from 2000 to 2015?
Has being respectful of Islam produced less terrorism?
Another Ad brought to you by the evil Halliburton Coorporation.
Look for a Christmas Special soon...
Respectful of RADICAL ISLAM>.... Really, does the DNC think that radical Islamists only kill conservatives?
History begins anew every morning when a liberal wakes up..
Someone didn’t notice?
The answer to the posed question is this. Because the only way to eternal life in BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD!! These moslem basturds are going to hell. ALL OF THEM!!
What a conundrum. I wonder who a liberal prays to just before a Muslim strikes their neck.
All American Muslims, who are really against Islamic Terrorism, should be glad to have their names added to a data base. After all, they would have nothing to hide and certainly would not be carrying out any terrorist actions! So why would they fuss about it???

Longing for the good old days of GWB? If The Donald get’s elected that’s exactly what will happen.
Let r = # of refugees total
Let g = # of good refugees
Let a = # of refugees accepted
% of good refugees = g/r
Probability of a random refugee being good = g/r
Probability of only good refugee accepted = (g/r)^a
The main assumption is that not every refugee is a good person.
Can you argue that 100% of people are good and nothing bad ever happens? No? Then this proof works.
Bush knew damn well that Islam means ‘submission’ and the Islamic definition of ‘Peace’ is “Fight the infidel until he feels subdued and pay the jizzyah.”
Biggest mistake Bush made was believing he could bring democracy to those savages.
Savages who are worse than jungle savages.
Savages who are taught their savagery directly from the pages of that evil book they worship.
Bush was too stupid to see that.
Bush was too stupid to know that.
He used the adjective radical because he wanted to suggest a distinction between real Islam and the version preached by jihadis
*************************************************
“There is no radical Islam, there is only Islam” - Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
There is no distinction, Islam is what is in their evil book and anyone suggesting changing it is beheaded.
As is anyone insulting their prophet.
Or anyone who tries to leave Islam.
Slavery, miscogeny, cruelty, lying, stealing, pedophilia are all sanctioned in their book.
There can be no peace until there is only Islam according to their book.
Because we’re still disgusted with George Bush II saying “Islam is peace. Islam means peace?”
Bush knew damn well that Islam means “submission” and the Islamic definition of “Peace” is “Fight the infidel until he feels subdued and pay the jizzyah.”
BUMP
He wasn't respectful of "RADICAL" islam. He was respectful of islam as a religion. The radicals were who he wanted to meet their maker.
It tickles me to death to see that the low I.Q., dumbass DemocRATS’ think that defending Islamofacist murderers is going to be a winning issue for them in 2016. Go ahead ‘RATS. Keep pimping for your murdering Muzzie pals. We don’t mind.
