Leading up to the the most bizarre and unsuccessful coup attempt in Turkey's history, Recep Tayyip Erdogan had been choking out the civil liberties of his citizens, punishing journalists and threatening the country's top constitutional court. Erdogan has taken Turkey further from secularism and closer to Islamic theocracy, which is claimed to be one of the reasons behind the attempted coup. He somehow convinced Germany to punish a writer for reciting a negative poem and has imprisoned journalists in his own country for their negative criticisms of his increasingly authoritarian rule. It is suspiciously obvious that the recent failed coup attempt has given Erdogan the excuse to stamp out opponents within the Turkish military, Turkish courts, Turkish media and even Turkish schools. Despite his slow movement toward Islamic autocracy, the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton have encouraged Erdogan's continued reign over all branches of the Turkish government.
The day after the coup attempt, media began reporting the obvious. Erdogan's popularity was “soaring” and his government had arrested more than 2,800 people, including judges, generals, soldiers and activists within the first day. Anyone who thought there was an inkling of hope for free press in Turkey also had their hopes shattered with the arrest of 42 journalists just two weeks following the coup attempt. The attempted coup had done more good for Erdogan than harm, allowing him to tighten his grip by eradicating the culprits – or anyone he deemed a culprit.

Obama does more than support, he envies.
Even worse — Islamo-fascist dictatorship with delusions of grand ottoman caliphate.
That’s what fellow Fascists do for each other; provide support.
I truly do not recognize our country any more
Obama wanted a different kind of fascist dictatorship in Turkey, more Al Quedish in nature. Thus the coup.
Erdogan is a fascist all right, just no friend of the Golfer anymore.
Generally, when one has two fascists, one should not assume them being in love. :P
It’s the only way for the globalists to install their one-world-government. We shall get a global disaster (not a fake Algore one either) and this will trigger the Agenda 21 crowd who are salivating in the wings.
Iran better move over, Turkey is about to take the Crazy Crown
Part of Obama’s legacy?
Oh Teyyp, you make my knees weak. - BHO

How utterly ashamed must the Founders be at the debasement of their legacy !
Yep.

I’m not sure about this theory, given what seems to be pretty solid evidence that Obama-protected, Clinton-affiliated “Gulen” is fingered as the source of the coup.
There was no coup.
Notice there has been no reporting on Turkey since it became full-blown Islamist, despite widespread disappearing of judges and journalists.
More killing fields? :o(
So long as they are muslims, he supports them.
Armenia beware!
Obama’s running a training camp in Syria just inside the boarder from Jordan. Everyone got their nose out of joint when the Russian’s bombed it recently. Are they training for the fight in Syria...or Jordan?
Jordan is the lynchpin. They enforce the peace in parts of Jeruselem and more notably they police the Temple Mount. An Obama style arab Spring in Jordan will truly put the Middle East in utter chaos.
Obama will go after Jordan before he leaves office.
