Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley blamed climate change in part for the rise of the Islamic State terrorist organization Monday in an interview with Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect.
“One of the things that preceded the failure of the nation state of Syria and the rise of ISIS was the effect of climate change and the mega-drought that affected that nation, wiped out farmers, drove people to cities, created a humanitarian crisis that created the symptoms, or rather, the conditions of extreme poverty that has now led to the rise of ISIS and this extreme violence,” he said.

...and he said this...with a straight face? The guy is either a liar or a fool. Which ever it is, he is one of monumental proportions.

It’s getting totally out of hand - blaming something you can’t control for actions taken or events. Lawyers started this trend in the 60’s in an attempt to get clients off and now it’s grown to include everything? Maybe it’s time to purge society of the high numbers of lawyers and put some people with common sense into authority. At one time our Supreme Court included non-lawyers. Maybe our forefathers knew something we didn’t.

A minor protest would have had him recant his “Temperature matters” meme, and start the chant “Only Black Lives Matter”.

O'Malley figures this is safer than saying all lives matter.
