Fallon is not a dunce.
He is not blundering about here.
This is a remarkable bit of writing. Obama wishes he had speechwriters this good.
It deflects from the obvious, and redirects to place the blame on the blameless.
It demands that we accept those with whom we disagree with only the barest suggesting that such consideration will be returned. It will be “PC for me, but not for thee”.
Now if Fallon is genuine in his protestations that all should be respected and that there should be an open and honest discussion amongst everyone of every opinion, then I support him. But I have no confidence that this will be the case.
You could be correct...or not. It's like the way we often refer to Obama or Hillary. We often say they're idiots who don't get it. The reality is (as Marco Rubio famously repeated) "they know exactly what they are doing". I have no doubt that Obama and Hillary are in the vanguard of a movement that is bent on destroying America.
Fallon strikes me as more of a "useful idiot". As in all communist regimes, the movement is driven by the commissars who want to grind the people down and make them serfs for the oligarchs. The top level tyrants do not believe in their heart of hearts that the tyrannical power they wield is for some common good. They just see a path to power. People like Fallon, and the Bernie supporters actually believe in their cause. That's why he sounded like a dunce to me. He was trying to look through the lens of political correctness and make sense out of something his feeble mind cannot comprehend (that muslims are evil and want to kill us).
If Obama or Hillary or Vallerie Jarret had made the remarks, I would agree with you. Coming from Fallon, it sounded like heartfelt puke-inducing foolishness.
However, I could be wrong, and Fallon could be a high-ranking officer in Obama's People's Republic.
