President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and most Washington Democrats are desperate to avoid using the term "radical Islam" to describe, well, radical Islamists. Forget reason or logic; toss away reality. What Obama and the Democrats are doing by denying the existence of radical Islam is throwing a bone to Muslims who, themselves, are hostages to a fantasy.
The Democratic National Committee has now enabled that fantasy by releasing what Mediaite's Alex Griswold calls a "stupid" ad that criticizes Republicans for connecting Islam with terrorism.
Duh:
To begin with, the ad is horribly tone-deaf. I donât doubt that the decision-makers in the Democratic Party are horrified by the phrase âradical Islam.â But a new poll released today on the issue found that a supermajority of Americans agree that the United States is at war with radical Islam, including 56% of Democratic voters. Only 24% of the country agrees with the president. So right off the bat, the Democratic Party is attacking Republicans for a stance their own voters agree with.
But of course, the ad attacked Republicans for just saying âradical Islam,â not saying weâre at war with it. Well, 92% of Americans also say âradical Islamic terrorismâ is a serious threat to the United States. But hey, at least the DNC is making inroads with that 8%.

Let's see Hillary! continue to refuse to say radical islam.
‘Radical islam’
I’m good with calling it Sharia Inspired Jihad.
“There is no radical Islam, there is only Islam” - Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
The moderate muslims are waiting for the radical muslims to kill enough infidels to give them superiority.
So what does the communist DemocRATS what us to call murdering, radical Islamists? “Refugees”? The people living in this country need to turn off their “smart” phones for just one hour each day and do a little thinking for themselves. Yes, it might be “scary” but it’s not tough to do.
“Radical Islam” is a redundancy.
According to Madam Benghazi "Muslims are a peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism".
She must be angling for the muzzie vote; she sure as hell will NEVER get mine!
426 Days until Inauguration Day, 2017.
Since the term “radical Islam” is wholly a creation of Western apologists to create a false distinction, I’m good with scrapping the redundant adjective.
As you wish, DNC. I’m all for clarity.
Islam, period.
Okay, why don’t we just say Islam?
Hilarious. This is the kind of thing that can backfire big time. Go for it, Dhimmis!
They’ll walk it back after the convention with the help of their media minions.
Agreed. Seems to me the phrase “radical islam” — like, say, “close proximity” — is redundant.
I, on the other hand, do doubt that they are horrified. They want power and they will calmly tell any lie necessary to get that power. They would feign outrage about a Republican skipping breakfast if they think it would get them one more vote.
Just play the DNC ad, growing laughter then the face palm, simple and effective

“What are Words for,
when no one listens anymore.”
I call'em goat humpers gone wild!
