WALSH: Yes, 'Easter Worshipper' Was Intentional. Yes, It Matters. Here's Why.
Daily Wire ^ | April 22, 2019 | Matt Walsh

Posted on 04/23/2019 11:33:36 AM PDT by detective

When Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted about "art and architecture" during the Notre Dame fire, I defended her against the criticism it drew from Christians who accused her of pointedly ignoring the spiritual significance of the building. I thought the tweet was perfectly normal and acceptable, and I don't really expect a Muslim woman to find any spiritual significance in a building meant for Christian worship. To my mind, that outrage — if we can call it an outrage — was overblown.

But "Easter worshippers" is a different thing entirely. Responding to the slaughter of hundreds of Christians during Easter attacks by radical Islamic terrorists, a number of prominent Democratic politicians chose to issue statements that glaringly omit any direct mention of the faith identity of the victims.

Barack Obama said this: "The attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka are an attack on humanity. On a day devoted to love, redemption, and renewal, we pray for the victims and stand with the people of Sri Lanka."

I disagree with the author on Omar. Her "Art and Architecture" quote was a deliberate attempt to insult and demean the Catholic faith.

I agree with the author on "Easter worshippers".

The fact that so many latched onto this same awkward phrase, "Easter worshippers," shows that there was a deliberate and coordinated attempt to false portray the bombings.

"If just one of them had gone this route, perhaps I could be convinced that it might be clumsy wording and nothing more. But it is simply impossible to believe that several significant Democrats would all independently and innocently think to refer to Christian victims in such a roundabout and obscure way."

Amazing, isn’t it, the way these different leaders used exxxxactly the same Sri Lanka bombing response verbiage, now isn’t it..?

But there’s more:

They ALL used TWO p’s in the word “Easter worshippers”.

Hey, that’s a BRIT spelling, not a US one, in spite of them all being Americans.

We can learn two things:

1. The orginal Bombing Response Talking Points came from the UK, or was educated there

2. They all either didn’t have editors or were simply reckless, pretty surprising, considering the visibility of their various positions, and the seriousness of the underlying subject matter

“Easter worshipers” another anti-Christian reference.

Yes. The same spelling mistake across the board is strong evidence that this was a concocted Strategy rather than a odd coincidence of strange phraseology.

Christianity is under attack by Islam. It is a war.

They were so reckless it’s like they ran OUR counter-intel op against them THEMSELVES.

I mean, it’s exactly like a very basic and old way of stinging a mole:

You release the same “super duper, omg sooo secret doc, so don’t tell ANYONE..!” using slightly different terminology to different suspects, first logging to whom you gave the different versions.

THEN, there’s the leak, hopefully using your exact key terms of interest.

And the mole point himself out to you.

They did exactly that.

I always use two “p”s in that word, and am not British. Two “l”s in travelling, too.

But you’re right; it was coordinated. They can’t even do plagierism and basic cheating well.

Very interesting, gaijin! I love it when freepers do these investigations on the origins of talking points. I suspect, maybe? that it is a talking point from the BBC and its website.

The Occupiers (Hollywood/lobbyists/Big Marketing/Big IT/University system) are doing this because they need for Western Civvers to still continue for some time being passive; the virus has not yet fully taken hold.

A honest “victim” self-image as encouraged by mass media would arouse and enflame the patient, potentially subverting the Invasion/en-Mutt-ization process.

At the same time they pacify the Western Civver side they provide cover for the attacking rapist welfare suckers.

They hate Christians and want us eliminated. They can’t bear to show any sympathy towards Christians killed by their buddies, but they go crazy when a Christian-in-name-only attacks one of their true loves.

He is completely wrong on Omar. The Left must love all these conservative commentators who are always giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, excellent catch. I had not even noticed that. That pretty much cinches what was already obvious. This was orchestrated.

So, “Sunday worshipers” aren’t just worshipping on Sunday, they’re actually worshipping the day called Sunday? You people are weird.
