Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) came to prominence and notoriety when he famously shouted, You Lie at Barack Obama during the presidents speech to a joint session of Congress. If ever there was a prime opportunity for a reprise, it occurred during an exchange between Wilson and Secretary of State John Kerry.
Wilson asked Kerry if the U.S. was at war. If Kerrys response had been a yes or no, the clip below would be no more than five seconds. As it was, Kerry took a more circuitous route to his answer, which was beyond ridiculous. After several seconds of hemming and hawing, Kerry said if someone would like to call it a war, theyre free to do so but that the war is with this enemy of Islam.
Yes, in Kerrys twisted mind, a group that identifies itself as the Islamic State is an enemy of Islam:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Lurch is either a moron or a cynical creep.
Any half-educated half-wit knows that ISIS *is* Islam.
Everything they do was done by their “perfect man”, their “prophet” Mohammed.
That's outrageous!
He's both.
Are Kerry and the rest of this administration really that stupid? Or are they simply confident that we peons are?
Somehow I can’t imagine President Reagan making nice with the enemy. He would call the Muslims what they are: murderous thugs at war with the United States.
And Hitler was the enemy of true Naziism, Stalin the enemy of Communism, and so on.
Dear John,
Shoot straight and speak the truth. Our friends will respect you.
What’s more our enemies will too.
Maybe what this nation needs is a little of that podium pounding T. Roosevelt to wake people up and tell the Religion of Peace, (hah), to straighten up or go straight to hell. Or we can deliver it to them.
Damn Ebola, damn the poor economy, damn the Ferguson incident. These monsters are THE enemy and they are mandated to kill or enslave everyone who is not muslim.
I think Kerry’s comments are intended for the rest of the Islamic world in some kind of attempt to reassure them Obama is not waging some broader war against THEM but only against these “anti-Muslims”.
Can someone please explain to me why our government is always defending islam but not Christianity?
for this thread the question is not really relevant.
Kerry is attempting to point out that Islam is not a homogeneous group and that the islamic cult of Isis is not the whole
Amen!
If these idiots were in power in WWII, their message would’ve been: “We are at war with the enemy of Stalinism: Nazi Germany.”
Lurch is either a moron or a cynical creep.
Any half-educated half-wit knows that ISIS *is* Islam.
Everything they do was done by their perfect man, their prophet Mohammed.
************************************************************
Kerry has ketchup for brains.
If you tell a lie often enough, loudly enough and with enough conviction it becomes truth. This is doubling down on the “Islam is the religion of peace” line.
Any half-educated half-wit
Come on, the article proves this point wrong.
In ala Clintonian speak it depends what the meaning of isIS is...... (,
It is a general question, not necessarily because of this story. Why are politicians, Republicans, too, always defending islam? Are they afraid of muslims? Surely they aren’t stupid enough to believe it really is a peaceful religion when there is no evidence to support that.
