Rubio: We Need Liam Neeson’s Strategy Against Terrorism(Liam Neeson in favor of gun control)
breitbart ^ | 5/9/15 | i hatchett

Posted on 05/10/2015 5:05:24 AM PDT by bestintxas

Senator and presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)argued US anti-terrorism policy should emulate Liam Neeson’s character in “Taken” during a speech in South Carolina on Saturday.

Rubio called for a Middle Eastern policy of “working with out allies to confront Iran’s ambitions to dominate the region, and by standing firmly with the only pro-American, free enterprise democracy in the Middle East, the great state of Israel.”

He added, “When people ask ‘what should our strategy be on global jihadists and terrorists?’ I refer them to the movie ‘Taken.’ Have you seen the movie ‘Taken,’ Liam Neeson? He has a line, and this is what our strategy should be, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will kill you.”

Oh come on.

Marco did not emulate Neeson the actor. He referred to a fictional character played by Neeson.

If we go down this path of analysis and pretend these men and women are idiots, we discredit the conservative movement.

"To be fair, Rubio was referencing Neeson’s character in a movie." - Islander7

Neeson played a former CIA operative named "Bryan Mills" in the movie "Taken".

If Rubio is to be taken seriously, he should be more clear and refer to the movie character's identity, not that of the actor, one Liam Neeson who is on record supporting gun control - a non-starter for a conservative candidate in these United States.

you postulate an equality that is fallacious

I don’t favor Jeb, but he is not hillary and to assume they are alike is foolish

Common Core, Amnesty, Unaffordable Care Act = same

Millions of us will not hold our noses again for a Democrat in an R jersey.

We have become immune to the chastisement of the establishment operatives.

I know. Doesn’t mean I didn’t like the story and the characters in Taken

Important but simple distinction - Rubio references a character played by an actor named Liam Neeson, not Liam Neeson himself. He is commenting on a sentiment expressed by a fictional character, not a real person, who might have contradictory personal opinions.
