ABC Blames Orlando Terror on Election Rhetoric and Guns in America
NewsBusters ^ | June 12, 2016 | Nicholas Fondacaro

On Sunday, even after the FBI hinted the presence of a link to radical Islam, the panel on ABC’s This Week blamed the terrorist attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on heated election rhetoric and guns in America. “I think we all ought to pause with what happened in Orlando today,” stated ABC’s Matt Dowd when asked if third party candidates could gain supporters, “And if we understand that all of the hateful thoughts become hateful words become hateful actions.”

Dowd continued, “And now, maybe in the course of this, after what happened, the temperatures will go down and we, sort of, get back to a place where we can understand the common good.”

Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway then argued that America is in need of strong leadership. “But strong leadership, Kelly, is not about fear mongering and exploiting racial anxieties, and bigotry,” snapped The Nation editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel.

Heuvel had her own narrative to spin the deaths of the innocent for:

I think the, you know, grief and anger today, but we can't lose sight of senseless gun violence and the gun epidemic in this country....

“we need to clean out the sicko MSM, they are a serious danger to our future”

It is the owners of the networks that call the tunes. If they requested objectivity, they would have it.

These pundits know the signature on their paychecks.

Where is the movie about the fraud that the MSM is?

Done as a comedy, it could be informative and entertaining.

Well, if 0bama is going to continue allowing these Islamic terrorist attacks, I hope the next one hits one of the big leftist media networks. It would be a much-deserved dose of karma.

If Trump is the cause for violence against his supporters,
then gays would be cause for the shooting at Pulse.

There can never be common good with islam in the picture.

Or with liberals/progressives. Just not possible because they will say they want to talk and compromise but in the end they lose nothing and we lose something extremely important to us like our right to own guns for personal protection.

They are too stupid to realize they need those guns just as much as we or anyone else does.

If it weren’t for the self loading rifles I own here in the United States, Islam would be the religion of peace.

Moderate’ Islamists Admit: ‘Radical’ Islam IS Islam

Courtney Kirchoff Saturday November 21 2015

Here’s a fun twist. You know how the greatest appeasers of Islam are none other than our leftist apologists (read Dear Liberals: Your Hypocrisy on Islam is Most Staggering of All…) and their flock of sheep on social media, who greet their mornings with cries of “Not all Muslims are terrorists,” or “Not all Muslims are bad guys,” or “Not all Muslims want to kill the gays or subjugate the women!” Well brace yourselves for irony so rich, it’ll give you gout.

Watch mainstream Muslims reject the leftists talking points of “Not all Muslims are ____”

“Every now and then, they always come with the same accusations. This speaker supports death penalty for homosexuals…he is homophobic, he subjugates women, etc. etc… And we always try to tell them, that speaker doesn’t have radical views. These are views of Islam.”

“Everyone in the room, how many of you are normal, Sunni Muslims?” (everyone)

“How many of you agree that men and women should sit separate?” (everyone)

“How many of you agree that the punishments described in the Qur’an, wether it is death or stoning for adultery, if it comes from Allah, it is the best punishment in the world?” (everyone)

“Are you all Islamic extremists? No.”

You are so correct! The world of liberals / Democrats / Socialists is one of pure delusion.

Undoubtedly the night club had a no guns policy. Hence the carnage.

When an anti-Christian bigot started killing people at a church in Colorado he was quickly taken down by a church member carrying a concealed weapon. Hence a death toll there of 4 rather than 50.

Liberals are crying about lack of support from Facebook like there was with France when many changed their Facebook profile to efflel tower. I didn’t change mine then and won’t change mine now. What does that do? Nothing! Now one thing that’s good is the gofundme campaign for hospital bills of those injured. I think that excellent and worthwhile. In less then 18 hours they raised over a million dollars. Americans are generous people big time.

We do not need gun control, we need to ban Islam in the United States. It is not compatible with western civilization and our US Constitution. Muslims must be deported to Islamic countries.
