Obama: Terrorists have 'legitimate grievances'

Posted: Feb 18, 2015

Prez mocked: 'Will there be a Festivus Pole at the summit?'

(TWITCHY) Could rhetoric from the White House get worse than yesterday’s much-maligned talking point that better jobs could stop Islamic terrorist like ISIS?

Oh, yes — it can get worse. A lot, lot worse:

Legitimate grievances? - ProMT

Like murdering all "infidels" who are not Muslim and who breathe the same air they do?

Only a Muslim president like Obama would side with barbarian terrorists.

I don't know, but if there are Feats of Strength, - Sissy Pants will lose.

"legitimate grievances" appeared in Pres Obama's - op ed piece in the LA Times

[ In Reply To ..]
The following is text taken directly from the President's op ed piece in the LA Times on 02/17/15:

"Governments that deny human rights play into the hands of extremists who claim that violence is the only way to achieve change. Efforts to counter violent extremism will only succeed if citizens can address legitimate grievances through the democratic process and express themselves through strong civil societies. Those efforts must be matched by economic, educational and entrepreneurial development so people have hope for a life of dignity."

What about the problem of violent extremism with groups like ISIS? I don't think anyone believes that ISIS is murdering innocent people because ISIS has legitimate grievances and is not being afforded the opportunity to have them addressed "through the democratic process" and "express themselves through strong civil societies."

I don't know if he didn't express himself clearly or he really believes what he said. If it is the latter, it is a very irresponsible statement that legitimizes the genocidal agenda of groups like ISIS and Boko Haram.

He believes what he said. His claim to fame - sm

is apparently his eloquence.

Yes, he definitely believes what he said!

Addressing Grievances - mbmt

Primary grievance - anonie

Their only grievance is that the whole world doesn't believe all of their religion.

Their only purpose is to kill us. Nothing simpler than that.

So this grievance thing is absolutely ridiculous. Boy, Mr. O is making the US a laughing stock. Honestly, I wish we could get rid of him before something happens on our soil and he tries to brush that under the rug.

I have no patience with the man. He is a get even person too. Since the judge put the injunction on his illegal alien deal, he is ready to do whatever he can to ruin more of our country.

It will take years and years to undo if we can all that he has accomplished in both terms.

Please just tell me that we are not going to have Hillary as president. I don't want to wake up the day after elections with another Clinton or another Bush in the WH. I mean enough is enough.

OMG, get a grip! Have you no faith in your country? You... - sm

We lost faith when a socialist became president. - sm

11 April 2010, KABUL — Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged Taliban insurgents on Sunday to lay down their arms and air their grievances while visiting a violent northern province, adding that foreign forces would not leave the country as long as fighting continued.

I find it disturbing, to say the least, that a British soldier is attacked by a Muslim Extremist on the street, as he yells, "Allahu Akbar" and in less than 24 hours, Cameron knows it's a terrorist attack and pronounces it as such. When a Muslim Extremist (terrorist) kills 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, Obama pronounces it "workplace violence." What is wrong with this man? Why can't he say "Muslim Terrorists" - that's what Hasan is! Why must Obama pro ...

They act like terrorists, they regularly kill civilians like terrorists, but the White House does not consider the Afghan Taliban to be a terrorist group. “They do carry out tactics that are akin to terrorism. They do pursue terror attacks in an effort to try to advance their agenda,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained today, but “they have a different classification.” Link: http://news.yahoo.com/taliban-not-terrorists-says-white-house-220922680.html This pres ...

and a policeman shot in Phila. Thank God the terrorist couldn't hit the broad side of a barn while standing next to it. Emptying his gun at point blank range and the policeman is only shot in the arm 3 times but it will still end his career, yet that policeman was able to get out of his car and chase the terrorist and shoot him in the butt...he has been singing like a bird. All three were Muslim and all three were radicalized by ISIS. This is only the beginning. How many more Syri ...

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda.
