MSNBC on Friday used the unfolding shooting spree in Munich to bash the Republican Party and connect the GOP convention to it. Regarding terror, Daily Beast editor Christopher Dickey talked to Brian Williams and lectured, “What we're looking at now in Europe and, to some extent, at the Republican convention and in the discourse in the United States, is a lot of talk about war as if we're talking about a massive operation.”
Dickey insisted that the terror threat not be overstated: “Yet we're often talking as if we're going to go to war with a billion Muslims. And I think we need to be very, very careful about that. You are very careful. NBC is very careful.”
Dickey sneered, “But the broader discourse is really kind of hysterical because the reaction that we all feel is we want a simple solution.” He insisted that terror is “more of a law enforcement issue.”
Dickey is the same man who decried the “rampant Islamophobia” and “xenophobic politics” of Europe. He also feared the European right “will continue to be on the rise" in the wake of terror.
On Thursday, Richard Engel used the occasion of the Munich attack to bemoan “intolerant” “right-wing parties of Europe.

Perp is a GERMAN IRANIAN..yep sounds like a right winger to me/sarc
Quick, someone send Chuck Todd an email and tell him “This must stop...”
If you can spoof a DNC email address you just might get a call back!
That header actually made me laugh.
Pathetic.
.
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Let's hope he's right about that. Europe could use a hefty dose of sanity.
Why would we have to go to war with a billion Muslims? Aren’t they the ones who are constantly telling us REAL moose limbs are peaceful?
Critical Thinking skills have been systematically removed from our education system.
People have been trained to just accept the notion that a radical fundamentalist Muslim in Germany can kill people AND THAT IS WHY Donald Trump is not a good person.
Huh?????
Yes there is a direct connection. Terror and violence happen and sane people like republicans react in horror to it. No confusion about chickens and eggs.
NBC lied and said there was no Islamic connection,
and that THEY KNEW this to be neonazis.
That is NOT what witnesses said,
but NBC’s GOAL is lying to the public
and inciting race war.
NBC SHOULD LOSE THEIR LICENSE.
You're hysterical Dickey. What broader discourse are you going to relate to if one Obama's refugees rapes some of the women in your family!
SCUMBAG LIBERALS AT MSNBC TWIST WORDS TO DISTRACT FROM THE DISCOURSE.
UK Daily Mail a few minutes ago reported that the shooter/mass murderer is an 18-year old Iranian. I guess MSNBC and Mr. Dickey will have to spin this that the Iranians are the real Aryans of this world, that most of the RNC convention delegates were white, and that Trump is therefore responsible for the carnage. Makes a lot of sense, don’t it??
“What came first, the chicken or the egg?”
The rooster!
A rooster is useless without the other!!! He might as well be shooting blanks!!!!
Just another left wing liberal scumbag Iranian Islamist.
That was quick—I thought it would have to wait til the Democat Convention before they did this.
Here we go. “It’s Trump’s fault” will be the new meme of the lunatic left.
” He also feared the European right “will continue to be on the rise” in the wake of terror”
They will as long as the European left remains so purposefully obtuse.
This never happened before Trump.
Pray America wakes
