State Dept Spox: 'Hamas may be responsible, but they're not to blame'

Can anyone recall another instance outside of Israel in which the government of the United States went out of its way not to blame a terrorist organization for a terror attack?

Encouraging restraint from both the Israeli government— livid over the finding of the bodies of the missing on Monday, vowing to exact justice on the perpetrators— and from the Palestinian leadership, some of whom are calling the trial an Israeli conspiracy, and all of whom are bracing for reprisal, State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters that the US is intimate with intelligence on the case, in part since one of the dead teenagers was American.

"Many indications" suggest the murders constitute a terrorist attack, Harf said. "I'm not saying they're responsible," she said. "But they were involved."

Back in the early '70's I had this comedy political record by David Frye called "Richard Nixon, a Fantasy." (Okay, I probably still have it). There's a line in there where Nixon says "I take full responsibility for what happened. [long pause] But not the blame. People who take the blame lose their jobs. People who take responsibility don't."

Hamas may be responsible but they're not to blame?

Clearly Bush’s fault.

Please tell me this is satire... please

If I was BiBi, I’d be publicly accusing the Obama admin of terrorism because they are just as guilty as Hamas. They fund Hamas. They fund ISIS. How long will these people get away with the harm they do!?

The newest douchenozzle mouthpiece. Fully outfitted with the kneepads!!!

It’s pretty amazing how with just a little training
by the State Department, a person can learn to talk
out of both sides of their mouth at once.

If Marie Harf wants to be taken seriously as a professional, she needs to: a) rein in the crappy morning-after hair, b) drop the Where’s Waldo outfits, and c) stop lying for Her Dear Master and pretending anyone with half a brain believes her.

Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to tell the difference between these Obama regime spokespeople and a Saturday Night Live skit? The people look, act and talk exactly the same. The world is getting boring.

Not quite an organization but close when Obama's people talk about the "workplace violence" - Islamic terrorist Nidal Hasan shooting 13 of our soldiers on post. While Obama hates the Jews and Israel with a special fervor, he hates whites and Christians too. He has a soft spot is what passes for a heart when it comes to Muslim murderers, but otherwise he's not a fan of people.

Do they think we are that stupid? All we get from the Obama Regime is rivers of lies, deception, playing the Race Card and blame shifting. They think we don’t know what kind of animal they are? And they have the nerve to run the Hildebeast and Elizabeth “Lie-a-watha” Warren?

[Vendome]

LOL

Oh well, free to use both sides of that blade.

Chick is stoopiter than a door nail...

[SargeK]

Yes. They do think we’re that stupid. And you are supposed to eat their BS on a cracker and thank them for it.

They look at their moronic voter base and generalize that to the rest of the population. Unfortunately it looks like they now outnumber us.

Idiocracy has gone from being low brow humor to prophecy.

“Ow! My Balls!”

[justa-hairyape]

These freaks take four sides to every issue. That is why the world ignores them.

[Hoodat]

When I read it, I had the same reaction as Dave Chappelle when Rick James finally admitted that he got a little mud on Charlie Murphy's couch.

"They look at their moronic voter base and generalize that to the rest of the population."

The corrupt and stupid Left is going to have their chickens come home to roost. They are running the country like feckless teenagers on a joyride. When they run the country into the ditch, the grownups will have to pull the country out and pick up the pieces.

The zero infobots think that all they have to do is put the Hildebeast in the White House. Then they will have that mother to put the house in order. Little do they know, that the mother is stupid, slovenly and a bad house keeper. Their stupidity will literally come home to roost if the wise adults don't put their foot down and stop the nonsense.

Obama and the Democrats, even the JEWISH ones, are Israel’s BIGGEST ENEMIES!!!!
