Obama to activists: Don't say 'stupid' things

[PROCON]

President Obama cautioned Black Lives Matter activists against going too far, saying that attacks on police and overheated, irrational rhetoric undermine their cause.

"Whenever those of us who are concerned about failures of the criminal justice system attack police, you are doing a disservice to the cause," Obama said in remarks to reporters in Spain, where he is traveling. "Any violence directed at police officers is a reprehensible crime and needs to be prosecuted," he said.

Even rhetorically, if we paint police with a broad brush, or "say things that are stupid or imprudent," it risks losing ground for the reform cause, Obama said.

The phrase “closing the barn door after the horse has escaped” comes to mind.

[SpaceBar]

Anybody remember another time when the prez gave pointers to rioters?

Me neither.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Or, he thinks he can, as the Magic Negro.

[Fungi]

Powerline said it best: “hard wired to do the wrong thing every time.”

[HiTech RedNeck]

Dunno, if the pointer is “Don’t Riot” then maybe even a blind squirrel has gotten an acorn.

[PROCON]

I don't dispute your data.

However in 2016 America, I believe we suffer more from a MQ (morality quotient) deficit.

[Old Yeller]

Don’t say stupid things that will give away the plan.

[headstamp 2]

Can’t this fool just shut up for 5 minutes? Every time he opens his fat mouth, more people die.

[HiTech RedNeck]

This looks like some remote approach to what is right.

I think the Right should agree with him, and be more specific about what stupid things are. Like anything desperate.

[Rannug]

Why not. You do. A$$wipe

[HiTech RedNeck]

How about JQ (Jesus Quotient).

We got a whole lotta RELIGION.

Do we got a whole lotta the LORD?

[ColdOne]

failures of the criminal justice system............this is about obamalaw, federalizing the police. His own private army better equipped than the military. Oh killwhitey too.

[bboop]

Obama has blood on his hands. Whatever his goal might have been, THIS is what has really happened because of his loose flapping lips. He can own it - it’s his true legacy. Hope he can sleep at night.

[Fungi]

Never agree with an adversary as insidiously evil as this. Stupidity can only take the stupid party so far, that benchmark was exceeded long ago.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The power of the Lord can arm-wrestle the discussion in a better direction. Some people don’t know an advantage if it stepped up and said “I died for your sin on a hill.”

[gcraig]

There are 57 Arab states. Obama isn’t stupid he is evil. Well actually I think he is stupid... So you are right :-)

[HiTech RedNeck]

We’re the white guys, remember. We’re the ones who ended the Civil War with a blanket forgiveness. We’re the ones who forgave Japan after they surrendered. We are not enslaved to rage or hate.

I think out-blacking blacks is a hideously wrong thing to do.

[Fungi]

Perhaps, but that has never been the intent of the feckless fool on the hill. The fool is not a Christian.

[Ms Mable]

How about him saying, let the justice system handle this situation. Doesn’t he believe in our justice system?

The rioters were able to “force” Baltimore to put on trial 6 police officers .... how’s that working out for Baltimore and the rioters? The BLM terrorist group are a modern day lynch mob, IMO.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Who cares? Who is stronger, God or the devil? We quiver as if we were in doubt. God will fail to bless such an attitude.
