Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf complained recently about the “crazy” responses she received after she said that one way to fight ISIS is to ensure job opportunities for would-be terrorists.

During a Q&A period at an HBCU foreign policy conference Harf was asked what she considers her biggest professional gaffe or mistake.

“I did a cable interview on ‘Hardball with Chris Matthews’ a few weeks ago where I said something that, to me, was totally uncontroversial,” Harf began.

She was referencing a Feb. 16 show in which she said of the bloodthirsty ISIS: “We cannot win this war by killing them. We need…to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs, whether…”

Isn’t it funny that she thinks she’s the smartest person in the room... and everyone knows she’s an idiot?

Harf is a prime example of someone who is stupid and their biggest flaw is that they don’t know that they are stupid.

Also, is it just me or is Harf a dead ringer for Chris Hayes in drag?

By definition, stupid people are not aware that they’re stupid. Nancy Pelosi comes to mind.

““We cannot win this war by killing them. “

Harf Wit is sooooo correct.

No war was ever won by killing the opposition.

Jobs For Terrorists!!

The response to her remarks was just too nuanced for her.

Harf isn’t qualified to be a barrista race relations negotiator at Starbucks.

I have no issue with her premise...

“to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups”

Where I disagree is with what causes them to join these groups, and that pure and simple is ISLAM, FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM is codified evil.

You can give them all the jobs in the world and as long as Wahabbist Islam exists, they will continue to kill and maim and subjugate and enslave...etc etc etc..

I think I see the problem here. To her it was uncontroversial. She was polling an idiot.

This person will never understand what on earth all the fuss could be about. Someone will tell her it is racismsexismageism and she will be satisfied that she understands. She will not understand that it is wittism, another unacceptable form of discrimination.

A pretty common character trait with all idiots.

I remember those hilarious remarks by harf..that's just how WW2 ended in Europe..I think it went something like this (cue generic standup comedian)

Nazi General: Mein Fuhrer! The allies have opened Wal-marts, Starbucks and Gap stores all around our forces. Our troops are deserting in droves.

Hitler: Damn! I need that like I need a hole in my head!!

The problem isn't that ISIS doesn't have jobs, the problem is that 0 and Harf DO have jobs.

To harf: (verb) ... “to say or assert something so patently stupid and preposterous as to generate mockery.”

Well ... like ... totally, I mean, if they had jobs, they wouldn't be out there killing
and stuff. I'm afraid my superior brain is just too nuanced for you.
Gosh! Don't have a cow.
