I hope this is not the case. I hope he ups the ante by calling them Islamic Nazi Bastards

[Coop]

It's not the first time you used it, Dubya. Suck it up, and keep using it.

[TomGuy]

CAIR whines and PC strikes again.

[goldstategop]

Political correctness. The President may be afraid to say it but I'm not. We're fighting the Axis Of Islamofascist Terror.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)

Council of American-Islamic Relations = Crazy Ass Islamic Radicals

[Smogger]

So he doesn't use in every speech and so it's dropped? LOL

Hey didn't we coin that phrase here on FR?

[ritewingwarrior]

"and another objection today from the government of Saudi Arabia."

Doubt they nixed the phrase over what CAIR says, but when the Saudis call, he is going to listen.

[SpaceBar]

Yesterday, a few radio talk shows namely Savage and Jerry Doyle played Bush's most recent characterization of the enemy. He referred to them as "an extremist group of folks". Just shows you what one phone call from CAIR can do.

[Dr. Frank fan]

This is one of the stupidest "news" items I've ever seen.

One day a President gives a speech and says a word. A few days later he gives another speech somewhere else, in another context, and that word isn't in the second speech.

AP headline is that Bush "drops reference to" that word.

It's a different speech! Not all speeches will contain the same words. It's not news when they don't. Also, using a word in speech #1 but not in speech #2 doesn't mean he has "dropped" reference to that word. It can always show up again in speeches #3, #4, etc... The AP seems not to be aware of this basic fact.

[kromike]

Gee, with that kind of attitude, I guess I'm not supposed to be mean to these scumbags or call them names while they're sawing my head off with a rusty blade.

Not...

Attention Muslims worldwide...Islamic Fascists...Islamic Fascists...Islamic Fascists...Islamic Fascists...Islamic Fascists...

[jiggyboy]

I saw him say that on TV. He stuttered and hemmed & hawed like he had a gun in his back.

[Thrusher]

I always thought it was a redundant term anyway.

[Brilliant]

"President Bush has avoided repetition of a term that angered Muslims."



The media can make every nonstory into a story. He says something, and they make that a story. The next day, he doesn't say the same thing, and they run a story stating that he "avoided repetition" of the earlier statement.

These guys are so laughable.

[Little Ray]

He won't. President "Religion of Peace" Bush has backed down before, for instance from using the word "crusade."

[Vision]

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998

[TheKidster]

How ridiculous that anybody would object to that phrase. ALL of these terrorists use the religion of Islam as a basis for thier actions. If the term angers or hurts then guess what, you need to look at yourself. Why would the millions of peace loving Muslims have a problem with that term? Maybe because they all identify with it because they aren't so peace loving and openly or secretly sympathize with the terrorists. What fools, the men at the top don't give a rats ass about Islam, they want power and whip these dummies up into a racist/nationalistic frenzy to go blow themselves up and kidnap westerners and hijack airplanes.

UNFRIGGIN' REAL "PC" BUMP. It becomes clearer by the day that we learned shite' on 9/11.

President Responds to CAIR? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

This is from their e-mail blast from last night:

BUSH DROPS REFERENCE TO 'ISLAMIC FASCISTS' - TOP
Associated Press, 8/14/06
http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5280312&nav=2HAB

President Bush has avoided repetition of a term that angered Muslims.

Responding last week to the foiling of an alleged plot to blow up flights between Britain and the United States, Bush said, "This nation is at war with Islamic fascists."

That triggered immediate objections from the Council of American-Islamic Relations, and another objection today from the government of Saudi Arabia.

In a statement after its weekly meeting, the Saudi Cabinet "warned against labeling Muslims with accusations of terrorism and fascism."

Bush didn't repeat the reference to "Islamic fascists" at the State Department today, referring instead to "individuals that would like to kill innocent Americans to achieve political objectives."

[bigjoesaddle]

Sorry, that's too long. Instead of calling the war "The War Against Terror", which is too vague, we cannot call it...

"The War Against The Individuals That would Like To Kill Innocent Americans To Achieve Political Objectives"

[airborne]

Too late!

We know he knows!

I don't need him to say it again.

He gets it.
