There wasn’t much evidence of that.

I don’t know if Kony’s made any appearances though in a very long time.

LOLOLOLOL.

These are people hand-picked by Barry for the sole purpose of discrediting, embarrassing and DESTROYING America’s reputation and fomenting a permanent DISTRUST by the people in all levels of our TRADITIONAL government.

It's either that or these people are ALL INSANE!

[maddog55]

The State Department under Obama, the DHS and Justice Department under Obama and Obama himself are extremest and a direct threat to America and it would appear Congress is about 90% compliant to whatever Obama wants.

Its a shame she can’t stop saying stupid things.

It would be fascinating to see the internal memos and emails regarding Administration talking points around this question. It is clear that a policy directive has been imposed. Administration talkers are being held to a party line, and a pretty stupid one at that. It is a high art to go out day after day, with a straight face, and deny reality. Very few people are good at it. Marie Harf isn't one of them. This does not necessarily reflect poorly on her. She is just not a very accomplished liar.

I'm a bit reminded of Mike McCurry, back in Clinton days, going out day after day to face a press that didn't believe a word he said. The big difference in that instance is that most of the press was also in protect-Clinton mode, and they let McCurry off relatively easy. While we made great mock of him, most of us recognized that it's hard to go out and play the fool on a daily basis. People in that position really should quit, but not being wealthy they get trapped by job and career considerations.

The LRA is a cult having syncretic beliefs similar to Voodoo.

That doesn't exactly bode well for her prospects as a politician, but then again, there is always room for a few yes-men.

That’s an insult to Garth. He’s smarter and actually has some talent. Party On!

[Joe Boucher]

About now I’d just love to see one of them “militant” Christian groups go in to say Iran and Crucify a whole town.

Let’s see the videos where these Christian extremists behead innocents...

Over a year ago there was a meme-building attempt on the (anti-)social media, probably sourced in the White House, making Kony out to be the worst, most bloody killer in the history of bloody killers. It failed to take off, then dropped off the face of the Earth. It was a wag-the-dog thing, I'm sure.

If memory serves it petered out after a big promoter of it got caught up in a sex scandal of some sort. It was something embarrassing or heinous...

[SunkenCiv]

Hey wait a minute... I’m usually the one catching other people with revived topics... ;^) Thanks piasa.

BTTT...the recent comment by Pete Buttigieg about Christian extremists reminded me of this poor episode from the Obama Admin.
