While appearing on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes," Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said the Obama administration was correct in refusing to refer to Islamic terrorists as "Islamic extremists," the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday. The reason, she explained, is that doing so would anger them and possibly cause them to engage in even more terrorism.
"Theyre responsible for ensuring our national security. We have to be careful in our language and how we I dont want to see any more anger and hostility or violence in the world," she said. "Our response to terrorism is a response that makes us safer that begins to dismantle and degrade terrorist organizations, not create more havoc, anger, and hostility in the world.
Apparently, that means not saying anything that might hurt their feelings or make them angry. The Free Beacon noted that the administration's "acquiescence" on calling Islamic terror what it is has been the subject of hot debate over the last week. "The catered response signals a fear of ISIS, Al Qaeda, and their extremist allies," the Free Beacon said.
Not concerned with the feelings of those who support the recent attacks against the satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, France has strongly responded in both words and action. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, for example, said France is at war with radical Islam, jihadism and "against everything that is aimed at breaking fraternity, freedom, solidarity."
"We are not a collection of communities, we are one nation, a Republic with values: generosity, solidarity, fraternity, secularism," he added. "We must also be lucid: antisemitism, racism, hatred of the other, these things are intolerable... Journalists were killed for drawing, police were killed for protecting us, and Jews were killed because they were Jewish. This is what is intolerable.

But won't calling white people "racist" for no reason make them angry too?
before we rid the world of anger, hostility and violence we must first make stupidity a capital offense. Stand against the wall, Babs.
You said: “Barbara Blockhead doesnt like being called senator. [I dont like calling her senator, either.] Instead, she wants to called maam. Watched the slimy b**** berate senior military officers about her title during a hearing. She cant retire fast enough.”
ahaha - Long day?
this thread is about what Rep. Barbara LEE said.
It was SENATOR Barbara BOXER who berated the military officer - and was incensed that she was addressed as “ma’am” and demanded she be called “Senator”, not the other way ‘round. - as she had “worked long and hard for that...” recognition - ahahah - (Call a pig by any other name/title - it’s still a pig)

Doesn’t matter, islamist will always find something to be angry about, just like barbara lee. We’re catering to insane cultist, and I mean islamist and democrats.
If that’s the case, we better not make them even madder by trying to kill them & their leaders.
The vast majority of these Islamic terrorists do not speak English. They have no clue what you call them and cannot read what you print.
I’m Catholic and these leftist politicians have never worried about hurting my feelings.
Later in the show, I’m sure BEM* Lee also suggested that women dress in head to toe burkas, since women who are rape victims provoke the rapists by how they dress.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
Typical leftwing fruitcake sixties burnout.
These liberals are like flies; they eat **** and they bother people.
Being willing to execute the perp would be an improvement. We used to be willing to do that to murderers in general. Not buying into their excuses was a good thing.
The left constantly calling us “racist” also bothers and angers me, but who cares?
good heavens, we wouldn’t want to make them angry. they may fly airliners into buildings or strap dynamite on 10 year old girls and send them into a crowd of innocent people . . . and remote detonate her.
fine. kill them happy.
We have a winner! But of course, lefties know best...
I wonder. Would calling Barbara Lee stupid cause her to do and say even more stupid things?
