Obama Calls Terror Attack on Paris Jews ‘Random’ Shooting
Breitbart ^ | 2/9/15 | Joel B. Pollack

Posted on 02/09/2015 1:02:16 PM PST by Nachum

President Barack Obama has called the terror attack on Jews in a kosher supermarket in Paris last month an act of random violence, rather than a terror attack or an antisemitic attack.

Obama’s remark appears in an interview with Matt Yglesias of Vox.com. The president calls the attackers “violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” He elides past the religion of the attackers or the victims in an attack that claimed four innocent lives.

Obama was responding to a sympathetic question by Yglesias about whether “the media sometimes overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism and this kind of chaos, as opposed to a longer-term problem of climate change and epidemic disease.” While stating that Americans were right to be concerned, Obama agreed that the media had overstated the problem of terror because of a general tendency towards sensational reporting: “If it bleeds, it leads, right?”

Of course, he’ll never call his Muslim brothers “terrorists.”

Well, if this is his definition of random, then I suppose all Nazi killing of Jews was random until the Wannsee Conference and the decision to try to kill every Jew in Europe.

It turns out that Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins had it right all along...about Obama:
“Actually, do you know what there’s no such thing as? It turns out, with due respect, when all is said and done, that there’s no such thing as YOU!

"Obama Calls Terror Attack on Paris Jews ‘Random’ Shooting,"

Likewise, RFK was a victim of a random shooting.

“...as opposed to a longer-term problem of climate change and epidemic disease.”

These people live in a parallel universe.

He’s already verbally coming out as a Muslim. That speech he gave to the Muzzies last week where he bashed Christians, he called Islam “our religion” twice. Our?

Boy, no kidding.

Carter has got to be thanking his lucky stars, thirty some years being his stint as worst president ever.

About the only thing Obama could do worse, is go into Congress with a loaded AK-47.

Frankly he’d probably improve the place by doing it.

* for the record, I do not advocate any negative activity against Congress, other than voting most of them out *

Randomly selected Europeans who may have been worked too hard in re-education camps, or even possibly lost their lives in random workplace accidents. Some stood too close to pits while the authorities were shooting rifles. And some randomly walked too far. And of course some randomly inhaled too much of the workplace gases.

How can it be ‘random’ if the killers went there in particular in retaliation to a magazine article?

How can it be ‘random’ if the killers asked the names of victims and wanted to kill the author of the magazine articles?

Maybe “O” has some OTHER definition of ‘random’ that WE have never heard.
