White House spokesman jokes about Islamic attacks on Christian churches in Egypt
Daily Caller ^ | 8/21/13

Posted on 08/21/2013 3:27:43 PM PDT by Nachum

The White House’s deputy press secretary today downplayed Muslim attacks on Christians in Egypt, joking about the savagery that has left at least six Christians dead.

Press secretary Josh Earnest was asked by Fox News’ correspondent, Ed Henry, if President Barack Obama has a “red line” beyond which he would act against Muslim attacks on Egyptian Christians.

“Well, I didn’t bring my red pen out with me today,” Earnest joked.

After making his joke, Earnest said the administration is “outraged… and concerned” about the Muslim attacks on almost 100 churches, monasteries, orphanages and other marked Christian sites. Many Christians’ shops and homes have also been looted and burned by mobs.

But Earnest didn’t name or criticize the attackers, even though he did charge the military with perpetrating “violence… against peaceful protestors.”

Orthodox Ping!

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross.

Who expects proto-Muslims to criticize their fellow Muslims in Egypt? Buehler? Buehler?

The scumbags installed into the current US government regime have absolutely NO respect for human life.

O is a communist and Muslim Brotherhood. He is not going to lose sleep over the death of a Christian except as it can be spun to further the interests of communists and Muslim Brotherhood.

There is no red line for killing Christians with this regime.

In a Republican administration, the howls for his head would reverberate to the moon. Case in point, the Virginia governor.

Why would anyone suppose that our Muslim president has any problems with his Muslim Brotherhood friends looting, raping, burning, and murdering Christians in Egypt?

He’d do the same in this country if he thought he could get away with it.

“Outrage” and “concern” should not appear in the same sentence. They are world’s apart. The fact they do appear in the same sentence tells me that they are just words with no meaning to the speaker.

Is there a vid of the press corpse (not a misspelling but an ObamaNation) reaction to the joke?

My only problem with what the Virginia Governor said is that he didn’t include Christians with the people obastard hates.

Hence his push for gun control and support of the UN Small Arms Treaty.
