Obama to activists: Don't say 'stupid' things

President Obama cautioned Black Lives Matter activists against going too far, saying that attacks on police and overheated, irrational rhetoric undermine their cause.

"Whenever those of us who are concerned about failures of the criminal justice system attack police, you are doing a disservice to the cause," Obama said in remarks to reporters in Spain, where he is traveling. "Any violence directed at police officers is a reprehensible crime and needs to be prosecuted," he said.

Even rhetorically, if we paint police with a broad brush, or "say things that are stupid or imprudent," it risks losing ground for the reform cause, Obama said.

Any doubts as to obama pulling the black lives blather strings after his and ms lynchs black history month face to face meetings with head gheyboy deray ?
Obama calls the shots, lynch gives the orders and provides the arrest/prosecution protection for the group. I bet the PD holding the poor misunderstood deray phone lines were ringing in with ms lynchs justus dept orders for his release early this AM.

Since everything they say is stupid stuff does that mean he’s asking them to take a vow of silence?

You should factor in the information that there 57 states in the Organization of Islamic Countries. Obama’s slip may not have been ignorance, but more Freudian in nature.

President Community Organizer strikes again. Wonder if he cleared his comments through Bill Ayers?

Read it. Just saying that it's "raciss" doesn't make it false.

“rallying the troops” - what a degenerate.

Intelligence and wisdom are not equivalent. Some very un-intellectual people have been quite wise, and some geniuses have been quite foolish.

Any violence directed at police officers is a reprehensible crime and needs to be prosecuted . . .

From the same mouth that insisted the Benghazi terrorists who killed 4 American Patriots would be brought to justice.

I echo exactly the same words back to you, about your words.

Words fail me. Really.

How about praise the Lord for the blessings of even what we so proudly call common sense?

I agree with you; it’s just that Obama has painted cops and the justice system so often with so broad a brush that this statement is just full of irony.

And I mean... maybe God has seen that we became presumptuous. We assumed that we deserved competent leadership. We thought that we merited no less. We were highly indignant when what we thought was our merit met with no reward.

God, however, has always known that we can merit zilch. We can only be hopeful askers and grateful recipients of His blessings.

A rare breath of fresh air in what has been, yes, a White House full of stink. Now Who is the Author of that? (God.) And who earned it? (Nobody)

God brings about wonderful ironies sometimes. How about the irony of the cross of Christ?
