Twice this month, the White House has publicly grappled with the politically fraught language of terrorism.
In the days after a deadly terror spree in Paris, President Barack Obama was criticized for purposely avoiding calling the attacks an example of “Islamic extremism,” settling for the more generic “violent extremism.” This week, the White House struggled to explain why the administration sometimes classifies the Afghan Taliban as a terrorist organization—and sometimes does not.
The rhetorical wrangling underscores the extent to which a president who pledged to end to his predecessor’s war on terror is still navigating how to explain the threats that persist to the American public, while also being mindful of the impact his words can have abroad. …

Mindful my Lilly white a$$.
Heh, “impact” especially with respect (loosely-termed) to the big Cairo speech of 2009.
Why?
Because it’s ugly.
And he’s sided with the islamic terrorists. Because he’s one of them.
If they started differentiating between Islam and radical/extremist Islam, they might be taken down a path whereby laws are passed prohibiting extremist islamic behaviors in America, behaviors common to Sharia law and cropping up all over Europe. They clearly don’t want to go down that path and as long as they just pretend like there isn’t any such thing as “radical islam”, they can avoid going down that path. We need to go down that path. We need to differentiate between radical islam which should not be protected first amendment activity and moderate Islam which is protected first amendment activity.
Find us that “moderate Islam” first.
As for Obama, he’s more worried about so-called “radical Christians”, though not a one has been found.
Found ,...YET !
Thats why Loretta Lynch is being proferred by Holder
She is "Holder ,Part deux", whereby cries of racism and sexism will provide protection for Holder's butt, and she will continue his procedures.
They’re out there. Radical Islamic activities need to be legally defined as somethinbg other than religious activity and then legally denied first amendment protections. This has to happen or we’re gonna end up looking like Europe with regards to this Islamic problem.
George Orwell would be displeased that 'Annimal Farm' has come to fruition.
It gives credance to "double-talk" and to "double-speak" as it eminates from the White Hut.
The fact that it is someone named 'Josh' ( as in Joshing you)
and Earnest (as in truthful)does not go unnoticed !
"Double-speak" and "Double-talk" is the communication of this administration !
..Thank you Geiorge Orwell, for your insight !!
If she’s confirmed, it’ll be all on the RINOs.
The flies are optional !!
It is a foregone conclusion.
She will be confirmed
And every Republicrat and every Democran needs to be primaried since the American public has no memory reention, other thatn a 30 second sound-byte, or a 30 second commercial.
They are all complicit !
Don't forget that even Easau sold his birthright for a bowl of porridge.
What are the Republicans ,or Democrans willing to sell their birthright for ?
ANSWER: re-election and continued power !
Yep, though to be fair, W started this pussyfooting.
It shows just how split the WH is. Jarrett doesn’t have enough thumbs to plug every leak of reality into Obama’s world.
Grapples? They’re flat-out ignoring it; no way is Obomination going to insult a fellow muzzie or its ‘group’.
Very, very true. where did “W” ever get the idiotic idea that Islam was a “religion of peace”? George Bush had Daniel Pipes advise him after 9/11/2001 on radical Islam and then completely DISREGARDED his counsel in favor of CAIR and other Muslim apologists.
cult like = culture = urban black America
there will be no such laws
