State Dept. Backs Obama: Paris Attack Didn't Target Jews
Arutz Sheva ^ | Ari Soffer

Posted on 02/11/2015 5:57:26 AM PST by SJackson

Jen Psaki the latest Obama spokesperson to stutter an explanation as to why he described the attack on kosher store as just 'random'.

It's the controversy that just won't go away - and it's hard to understand why.

Since US President Barack Obama's controversial comments during a recent interview, in which he downplayed the anti-Semitic nature of the deadly shooting attack at a kosher supermarket in Paris last month, government spokespeople have been falling over themselves to explain what exactly he meant. And failing pretty miserably.

In the interview with Vox, published earlier this week, the US President asserted that the media was "overstating" the threat from terrorism to garner ratings, but admitted terrorism was still a problem. In so doing, however, he provoked a storm of controversy with the following comment: "It is entirely legitimate for the American people to be deeply concerned when you've got a bunch of violent vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris."

And the “knockout game” isn’t about racist black “youths” targeting white people for violence, either.

Gee...what a surprise. He lies and they swear to it.

These azholes on all levels in OUR government are unethical, immoral and believe themselves to be above the law.

I do not even admire how they do this: circle the wagons and deflect any and all criticism and dare you to prove them wrong. By the time you carefully marshall all the resources and get everything just so, the public has moved on and your proof is meaningless drivel. They do not even care what you say.

This pattern is used in every situation at every level.

We conservatives expect truth to eventually win...that logic and fairness will win in the end.That the right will be out might.

It ain’t how it works anymore,,,,not with this bunch. They spit piss and crap on those ideals and on all of us.

I am beyond making them try to see or trying to get the independents to see. Tired of trying to win a debate that is only one sided and a distraction.

Eff ‘em all. Just looking for the tipping point. And it is coming.

They didn’t target Jews. They were just using statistics... they targeted a Kosher market, and statistically speaking, the majority of the customers in a Kosher market are likely to be Jewish. Correlation does not equal causation, as they say in the social sciences.

And the drooling masses will probably believe it. Or they’ll be confused and ask “what is a Jew?”

And the real question is what were the terrorists thinking.

I’m 61. My whole life there have been elected officials that drove me nuts with what I thought were poor decisions. There were elected officials I disagreed with.

But this is the first time in my life (”this” being since about late 2009) that I have felt that our leaders are actually enemies of our country.

And their time is short. It’s one of the reasons for my tag line, which I believe is more accurate than it was when I penned it about 2 years ago.

Neither Psaki nor Earnest will SAY the words, but they both TWEETED that the attack was anti-semitic. Why don’t they want to be recorded saying it???

Well, except for the Jews that were targeted.

The chocolate ration will be increased to 25 grams, from 30 grams last year...

I am sure that all the Jewish people leaving Europe and especially France concur that it was just a random event and could have as easily happened outside of a Mosque. (/sarcasm)
