"You cannot defeat evil until you admit it exists"

by digby

Bobby Jindal immediately after Chattanooga:

“It’s time for the White House to wake up and tell the truth…and the truth is that Radical Islam is at war with us, and we must start by being honest about that. There have been many bad things that have happened under President Obama. One that stands out to me was the horrible shooting at Ft. Hood…which was clearly an act of terrorism by a Radical Islamist. Yet the White House labeled that horrible act as ‘workplace violence.’ This is grotesque. You cannot defeat evil until you admit that it exists.”

Bobby Jindal immediately after Lafayette:

Gov. Bobby Jindal said "now is not the time" to discuss gun control, despite repeated questions Friday outside the movie theater where a right-wing extremist killed two people and wounded nine others before killing himself.

Pressed to declare his position as a Republican presidential candidate, Jindal upbraided the reporters and said, "I'm sure people will want to score political points," but "now it's time to shower the victims with love and prayer."

"My answer is not changing," he continued. "Now is not the right time. Let us mourn. You can ask me all you want in a couple of days."

Lone wolves are only evil when they're mentally ill Muslims who come under the influence of Islamic extremist politics on the internet and shoot some people. Let's not talk about the mentally ill white men who come under the influence of Rightwing extremist politics on the internet and shoot some people. The first is a mortal danger to our nation and we must do everything in our power, including going to war, to stop them. The latter are just some unfortunate, misunderstood people about whom there's nothing we can do without sacrificing important principles we hold dear.

And yet the victims are just as dead, by exactly the same means, regardless of the motivation of the people who killed them.

Oh, and by the way, the Lafayette shooter had something in common with Jeb! Bush: they both admire the same authors.

Asked to elaborate on his concerns about family formation, [former Gov. Jeb Bush] twice praised author Charles Murray, best known for his highly controversial 1994 book which touches on racial differences in I.Q., for his later research into the rise of single motherhood.

“My views on this were shaped a lot by Charles Murray’s book,” Bush said.
The Republican presidential hopeful added, “I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I’m a total nerd I guess.”

First, Jindal was talking about two different things on those different occasions, so the parallel you're trying to construct falls flat on its face.

The other point - if anyone can call it that - is equally impoverished. The Queen of England and I both like P.G. Wodehouse - but I suspect any similarity ends there, wouldn't you suppose? Hitler and Churchill both liked to paint - so what?

Sheesh.

There is no hope if there is no difference - between racial IQ, painting and humor

The analogy is lost on those that do not see that point.

You didn't quite get the point. - sm

The two parallels that you tried to construct were falacious in one case, irrelevant in the other.

Nice try, but no kewpie doll.

Next!

Yeah, I got the point--you failed logic - nm

If liberals ever hope to rise again, they will grok this: 1. You think you are superior. You are not. 2. You think we are stupid. We are not. 3. You love globalism. We look around the world and don't see anything we wish to emulate. 4. You do not believe America is the best country in the world. We do. 5. You think "resisting Trump" is a winning strategy. It is a losing strategy - in fact it isn't a strategy at all. (Do y ...

Presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal has made it clear that he is not qualified for the position, and even the most ardent conservative should agree. While complaining today about the SCOTUS decision making gay marriage legal, Jindal suggested "If we want to save some money lets just get rid of the court." This demonstrates without a doubt that Jindal neither understands nor respects the US Constitution, and that he is utterly unworthy to serve this country in any political capacity. ...

A few weeks ago, ABC News’ Martha Raddatz asked likely GOP presidential contender Scott Walker how he’d deal with the threat posed by the Islamic State terrorist group, also known as ISIS or ISIL. It did not go well. The Wisconsin governor mumbled something about the need for an “aggressive strategy,” which prompted Raddatz to ask what, specifically, that would entail. Walker then suggested “other surgical methods” beyond the airstrikes currently carried out by a U.S.-led coalition, ...

So it's not over yet.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is facing potential rifts with members of his own party in tough re-election contests as he barrels toward a fall fight with Republicans over his ability to change immigration policies.
