HAVE WE BEEN OVERESTIMATING OMAR?
Powerline ^ | 12 Apr 2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 04/13/2019 6:49:59 AM PDT by Rummyfan

As you probably know, Ilhan Omar is back in the news. She has taken a lot of criticism for her “some people did something” speech to a CAIR group in California. The problem with Omar’s speech is that she portrayed the September 11 terrorist attacks in anodyne fashion, while suggesting that their real significance lay in the horrific infringements of civil liberties that followed. (Only, of course, they didn’t.) Liberals have generally fallen in line to support Omar, while President Trump tweeted this just a few hours ago:

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

But Omar made the news today because of this tweet, which is puzzling to say the least:

“The people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” President George W. Bush

Was Bush downplaying the terrorist attack?

What if he was a Muslim 🤔

The media ... OMG what else is there to say.

They act like the comment ‘some people’ was the offensive part.

No, saying ‘some people did something’ to refer to the worst terrorist mass murder in history is the problem.

When Bush said “these people” he followed up with a military attack to find and kill the bastards tat did this. And I don’t think Bush went far enough. The attack should have been so swift and fierce that no one else would even think about trying it again.

Brand the Somali in Congress with low IQ (malnutrition leads to low IQ and Antisocial behavior according to a study by USC) by portraying her as not understanding our civil society. She is incapable of understanding her mistakes.

Ska-rew "justification".

They can claim ignorance all they want. It's way past time to start arresting and deporting these filthy thieving "asylum" "victims". Many or most have committed serious crimes and desperately need to lose their status.

GTFO!

It is not overestimation, but an estimate made on the wrong parameters. Up to now, people have been unconsciously equating attacks made on Ilhan Omar as being against a “black immigrant female”, when in fact she is a jihadist militant, and deadly as a black mamba, which is fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive.

The black mamba is widely considered the world’s deadliest snake, reaching up to 14 feet in length, although 8.2 feet is more the average. They are also among the fastest snakes in the world, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour.

Ball pythons are almost cuddly in comparison.

Omar’s tweet makes no sense at all. But we should not underestimate or tolerate the Left’s dangerous ignorance and histrionics. Omar’s religiously based hatred that is shared by millions inspires terrorist attacks worldwide and threatens liberty and life across the free world.

The attacks were intended to bring both buildings down within minutes if not seconds. That would have resulted in the deaths of over 100K. Those in the buildings and the surrounding buildings and area. Two reasons to be thankful. The planes hit high and the towers were marvelously constructed. Designed in 1967 to survive a strike by a Boeing 707 doing 400knots. Unfortunately only impact, not resulting fire and hear had been prepared for.
In the same manner, the 93 bombing had been designed to bring down the one tower immediately. Killing 50K and Bubba treated it as a criminal enterprise, no more important than a bank robbery.

She, like so many of our congresscritters is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the power brokers that put her into office.

These people repeat what ever they are told to repeat whenever they are told to repeat it. Vote likewise. For this service they get to live the Brie and wine lifestyle and amass millions of dollars toward a retirement. They never have to so much as push open a door or pullout a credit card. It is political prostitution taken to the highest level.

Can you imagine what would happen if a Christian got on TV every day and talked against the homosexuals, the muslim, and condemned everyone like this woman does? They let her go on and on... standing behind her and let her go on..

"Fine. Let the rats spend political capital on her."

She and the others are the Democrats deserved headaches. They created and promoted people like Omar, Tlaib, Occasional-Cortex, and the rest of the morons who are representative of their party. I hope they suffer greatly for what they have reaped and sown.

Most people on the left especially black political women these days, MAXINE WATERS, SHIELA JACKSON LEE, ABRAMS suffer from the same disease, some one told them that they are somebody, gave them a sweet position of authority, no knowledge, no experience just ARROGANCE AND A WHIPPING ACID TOUNGUE TO ARGUE THIER STUPIDITY. Now we have the muslims and the latino’s suffering from the same infected mindless blabber

Mozlems are told they are God's gift to the universe and the rest of the world must either become one or pay tribute. This is why RATs like them. The elites are like God's to themselves and can never acquire enough power or loot to satisfy them.
