The White House refrained Monday from condemning the Prophet Mohammad cartoon contest that provoked an attack Sunday night in Garland that left two gunmen dead.
There is no act of expression, even if its offensive, that justifies an act of violence, press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One as the president flew to New York for fund-raising and a TV appearance with David Letterman.
The president was informed last night of the violence outside Dallas, Earnest said, condemning extremists who have responded with violence after expressions they find offensive. We have seen extremists try to use expressions that they considered to be offensive as a way to justify violence not only in this country but around the world, and in the mind of the president there is no form of expression that would justify an act of violence.

The shooting started at 7:00pm, why was Imam Obama not informed until late last night?
To: kristinn
Until
conclusively proven otherwise, the undeniable evidence reveals that hussein/holder/jarrett and their entire mooselimb regime orchestrated this vicious attack on freedom.

I see he’s flying up to NYC. I guess he’s going to visit the cop that got shot in the head.

This is what happens when you do not secure the boarder.
All political correctness does it get people shot at and killed.

To: kristinn
This White House is a joke. The day will come when they’ll be forced to say the words Islamic Extremist or Muslim Terrorist. That will not be a nice day.
What a joke.

The current WH bunch and the whole liberalism are extremely offensive to me.
And I do say “No Act of Expression Justifies Violence, Even if Its Offensive”.

Obama would have condemned the Boston Tea Party and all other acts of the American Revolution.
Hell, He would have even acted as a traitor on behalf of British forces.
