Those vying for the White House responded to the terrorist attack in Orlando with empathy, accusations, policy prescriptions and one call to not "politicize" the tragedy.
Omar Mateen, a New York-born 29-year-old security guard, killed 50 and wounded 50 more at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando early this morning. He called 911 during the rampage and swore allegiance to ISIS.
Hillary Clinton postponed a Wednesday event in Green Bay, Wis. -- her first scheduled with President Obama -- due to the attack on the LGBT nightclub in Florida, her campaign said.
“This was an act of terror. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are hard at work, and we will learn more in the hours and days ahead. For now, we can say for certain that we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad," Clinton said in a statement. "That means defeating international terror groups, working with allies and partners to go after them wherever they are, countering their attempts to recruit people here and everywhere, and hardening our defenses at home. It also means refusing to be intimidated and staying true to our values."(continued)

Trump said Clinton has refused to describe America’s largest domestic security threat as ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ because she is carefully hewing to the Obama administration’s position.
‘She’s just following his exact line. She won’t utter the words either – radical Islam – she won’t even utter the words. He won’t utter the words!’ he boomed.
Clinton is ‘afraid to mention it because her boss will be angry at her ... and you know why that is.’
That was a veiled reference to claims he has made on the campaign trail before – that Clinton is reluctant to cross Obama publicly because the U.S. Justice Department holds her fate in its hands.
The former secretary of state faces a pair of criminal investigations.
One probe focuses on classified material found in thousands of emails she kept on a private server in her home while she was the government’s top diplomat.
The other concerns claims that she sold her influence at the State Department in exchange for speaking fees for her husband and contributions to their family foundation.
Wrong, the barrel shroud is a shoulder thing that goes up.
***’Weapons of War Have No Place on Our Streets’***
Fine, lets stop importing them then. Especially the ones from the Middle East.
Religions of War have no place on our streets.
To the liberal mind the gun is the perpetrator and the guy who pulls the trigger is an accomplice.
Shouldn’t that be, ‘Religions of War”?
When will they hold a trial for the shooter’s AR15?
If convicted, what could the sentence be? /f
American citizens always better armed than the military until 1956.
1776
Army - flintlock smooth bore musket
Civilian - Flintlock Rifle.
1836
Army - Flintlock Rifle
Civilian - Percussion cap rifle
1860
Army - Percussion cap rifle
Civilian - breech loading cartridge rifle.
1865
Army - Breech loading rifle
Civilian - 16 shot lever action rifle
1892
Army - 5 shot bolt action
Civilian - Lever, slide, bolt and early semi-auto and full auto rifles
1936
Army - Semi-auto rifle
Civilian - all the above except full autos banned.
1956
Army - full auto rifle
Civilian - semi-auto versions only.
The anti-gunners were never bothered by rifles in the past, suddenly in the 1980s, rifles became a target of opportunity to ban.
Note to Hillary: Where in the US is the greatest concentration of the weapons of war? Hint: It isn’t the general public. So a reasonable person might conclude that hillary is calling for the disarmament of one particular entity.
Hate-filled Muzzies have no place on our streets.
Hillary,,,, there are no words with enough creedence to weigh your hypocrisy. To compound that fact, the blood of those murdered in Orlando is on the hands of liberal policy. Liberals such as you and the head fag in the WH. You've allowed "this" group of humans to be so brazen as to allow them to shove their lifestyle down our throats that you've enabled them to become easy prey. "Wounded Knee" revisited,,,, is Kristallnacht next??
We don't need you Hillary, nor do we want you. Do not pass go, do not collect your $200, just go to jail.
To the LGBT community: please know that you have millions of allies across our country. I am one of them
Sorry Hill, though I can only speak for myself be assured I'm NOT one of them. Their own attitudes has brought this on. Stay out of our way Hillary, "WE THE PEOPLE will take care of business since your mentally incapable of doing so. AND speaking of We The People:
I certainly agree with that, Cankles, so...
MOLON LABE!
Weapons of war will protect U.S. from Liberal tyranny . Molon Labe B!+ch !!!!! .
The stupid twit has know idea that most guns were, at one time or another, weapons of war. As a matter of fact, for over 300 years, guns were the weapon choice for making war.
WAR has no place on our streets.
But there it is. An act of war, right there in downtown Orlando. An Islamic jihadist warrior, a soldier of ISIS, showed up and executed or maimed unarmed civilians. He ended up executed himself (suicide by cop).
Actually got off a pretty good kill rate. Even liberal Democrats would have to be impressed with the ratio.
Except that darned near every one of those killed were of a “protected” special class, in this instance, the LGBT community was targeted.
So is this also a hate crime or not? Or a war atrocity that could be defined as a war crime?
Democrats can not take total control of the American people until they are unarmed. The one and only reason dems want gun control.
Yep, because they could solve the problem of Islamic extremism at least by re-defining the First Amendment the way they want to re-define the Second Amendment. But somehow that idea never comes up - or if it is mentioned the same Democrats immediately say "you can't discriminate against anybody based on religion...First Amendment..."
