Kerry: Paris jihad massacre “different” from Charlie Hebdo jihad murders, which had a “rationale”

Nov 17, 2015 2:16 pm By Robert Spencer

“There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, they’re really angry because of this and that” — that is, about cartoons of Muhammad. Kerry doesn’t acknowledge that Obama had already given them that legitimacy, in saying “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

JOHN KERRY-STATE DEPARTMENT-AP-JOHN DHARAPAK_0

“Kerry in Paris: Charlie Hebdo Attack Had ‘Rationale’ to ‘Aggrieve One Particular Sense of Wrong,’” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, November 17, 2015:

Secretary of State John Kerry told employees at the U.S. Embassy in Paris this morning that Friday’s attacks were more senseless than the Charlie Hebdo assault because there was some “rationale” for slaughtering the staff of the magazine that drew Mohammad caricatures.

Kerry began by thanking the French locals who staff the U.S. Embassy. “We could not do our work here without you, and I know it’s particularly difficult right now, but it’s always difficult because you are working, carrying with you whatever baggage comes with the country you work for, and in our case, there’s very little because of our friendship with France,” he said. “But nevertheless, we are deeply appreciative for your commitment to helping us to help people to share the values and the interests that we are all working to protect.”

“In the last days, obviously, that has been particularly put to the test. There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, they’re really angry because of this and that. This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate. It wasn’t to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong. It was to terrorize people. It was to attack everything that we do stand for. That’s not an exaggeration.”

Kerry continued, “It was to assault all sense of nationhood and nation-state and rule of law and decency, dignity, and just put fear into the community and say, ‘Here we are.’ And for what? What’s the platform? What’s the grievance? That we’re not who they are? They kill people because of who they are and they kill people because of what they believe. And it’s indiscriminate. They kill Shia. They kill Yezidis. They kill Christians. They kill Druze. They kill Ismaili. They kill anybody who isn’t them and doesn’t pledge to be that. And they carry with them the greatest public display of misogyny that I’ve ever seen, not to mention a false claim regarding Islam. It has nothing to do with Islam; it has everything to do with criminality, with terror, with abuse, with psychopathism — I mean, you name it.”…

      Kerry is a professional political sycophant. He only reads the directives that Obama dictates for him and rarely deviates as it causes him to stumble. You’ll notice him stumble here, first calling the Charlie murders “legitimate”, then quickly backtracking as the Master wants the approval of the Charlie murders to be addressed more slickly. No doubt he’ll get a dressing down for not sticking to the script he was given.

      Apparently, Kerry did not read the manifesto ISIS sent: “…targeting the capital of prostitution and vice, the lead carrier of the cross in Europe”.

      This takes reading by someone who actually read Islam’s doctrines and understands them! (Kerry didn’t.)

      “PROSTITUTION” refers to the Western mingling of men and women in public venues such as SPORTS ARENAS and CONCERTS and other cultural venues.

      ISIS WAS ATTACKING THE EQUALITY OF WOMEN IN THE WEST…but no one figured that out…and if they had known they would not report it because it goes against what they want to hear…”Islam religion of peace”…etc.

    Kerry is justifying killing because someone is offended? ????????

    No excuse Kerry ……it was slander in the jihadist minds which is legally(according to his doctrine) punishable by death..according to sharia which is law for islam . and when someone says ‘the future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam.”, that is what it means. Justice means justice for muslims only. Get informed.

    Kerry has been a traitor to America since Vietnam days. He is more comfortable leading protests where he deals with raw anger against his own country. He does not think in terms of what is in the interests of the United States. Kerry’s world is a Heaven on earth where everybody can take drugs and say Peace Brother.

    It was a game changer this latest atrocity by Muslim Jihadists but only in the sense that with Charlie Hepdo they believed they had justification for killing cartoonist whilst this latest massacre even moderate Muslims are silent unable to excuse it and quite obviously scared for a backlash that will come.

    As for Kerry, Clinton, Obama and O’Malley, they dare not even mention the words Muslim or Islam in the same sentence as war & terrorism. That poor old fart Bernie Saunders is excused as he’s too busy hugging trees, not of this planet and its clear senility has kicked in !

      …………………..

      Muslims are *always* silent–except for the expected Taqiyya from “moderates”. This was the same after Charlie Hebdo as it is after the Paris Jihad attacks.

      As for the “backlash”–I’m so sick of hearing about this phantom issue.

      After *every* act of Jihad butchery, Muslims whine about the supposed incipient “backlash”. This would be disgusting in any case–but is even worse because this is entirely illusory, and just intended to slander civilized Infidels.

    So, according to the malovelent and enabling tool, kerry, there was a ‘rationale’ behind the murders of the Charli Hebdo cartoonists. The ‘rationale’ was the depiction of the foul mohammed, which is against islamic law, the sharia.

    The ‘rationale’ of these murderers in Paris, is **exactly** the same. They murdered people in a restaurant, at a music venue, at a sports venue, because all these activities are against islamic law, the sharia.

    They murdered them because they want to force sharia on the West. And because they want the West to *submit* to foul islam.

    kerry, as is obama, and the rest of the cowardly, traitorous tatterdemallion wankers who make up what we call our ‘leaders’ are fully complicit with this agenda.

    Presumably, * they* are going to get something out of this, the rest of us are getting nothing but blood, mayhem, and tears.

    Time for us to rise up against these evil, traitorous scum, and take back our own.

    First Kerry seems determined to show just how little he really understands about he subject of the militant jihad and Islam.. Second,about those jihad Muslims who engage on all those heinous actions of brutal murderous jihad violence in the vicious attacks in the city of Paris last Friday night of November 13,2015. Those Islamic attacks were as heinously wicked and ruthless to the extent that they are a total affront to all that is good and right. Nevertheless, lets not be naive there might had been some jihad minded Muslims watching all those evil jihad attacks who actually liked the Islamic carnage and had praise for those Muslim terrorists. This would only expose just who Islam has the power to warp and make sick the mind of and soul and make some people so very lawless that they would actually praise those murderous jihadists of that night in Paris. Still, the French police came and resisted and stopped those jihadist fiends in their evil actions. The Bible teaches in Proverbs 28:4.”Those who forsake the law praise the wicked but those who keep the law resist them.” [N.I.V.]

      ………………………….

      Actually, this applies to virtually every pious Muslim, Walter. And it’s not “might have been”–Jihadists were crowing even as the terror attacks were ongoing.

      Here’s part of a report from Channel 7 News out of Miami:

      “Twitter accounts linked to jihadists are celebrating the attacks in Paris.

      “According to the SITE Intelligence Group tracking militant sites, Twitter posts attributed to jihadist supporters are speculating which group may be responsible. Many users expressed belief that the Islamic State group could be behind the carnage.

      “They used Arabic-language hashtags that translated to “Paris on fire” and “Caliphate state strikes France.”

      “SITE says that accounts also circulated pictures of the attacks, and one pro-IS channel accused France of sending warplanes to bomb Syria and says “today it drinks from the same cup.”

      There have been many other such reports.

    Is Kerry part of ISIS or Deash as he says it? How can these traitors live with themselves and sleep at night with any conscience?

    Looking for “rationale” for jihad murders — hmm – no wonder he thinks Muslim genocide of 270 million non-Muslims in last 100o years had a rationale. How stupid can you be, Kerry?? He comes out with such gems every time he opens his mouth. Send him Syria where he will find lots of rationale for ISIS jihad.

    The “It has nothing to do with Islam” drivel is really getting TIRESOME!!!!! Reading this speech from Kerry made me cringe. What would it have been like to have to listen to him stumble through it? Ghastly …….. just ghastly.

    Everything that ISIS/ISIL says and does makes sense if you take the time to listen to what’s being said and then learn something about Muhammad and the Qu’ran. Idiots like Kerry, Obama, Theresa May and the rest need to stop saying it has nothing to do with Islam and admit it has EVERYTHING to do with Islam ……. and then start addressing the REAL problem …. ISLAM ….. because it’s only going to get worse if we don’t contain this contagion of the mind and keep it from spreading.

  18. jewdog says

    Nov 17, 2015 at 3:13 pm

    The rationale: France has been waging war against IS. The Koran states (5:34) states that those who cause mischief in the land should be mutilated, crucified or killed. Elsewhere in the texts, it makes clear that those who aid the war effort – say, French citizen taxpayers – should also be punished. My thanks to David Wood for analyzing this.
    Just one question: What’s the rationale for having Kerry as Secretary of State?

    • Ringgo1 says

    Kerry is a first rate idiot. He should try tell that to the 3000 Americans who were killed on 911; he should try tell the Jewish families who were shot dead during the Charli Hebdo cartoonists rage; he should try tell that to the family members of the cops who were shot dead by the Jihadi Son of a Dog.

    Kerry is as pethetic as much as anyone can get.

  21. BlueRaven says

    Nov 17, 2015 at 3:38 pm

    By saying what he said, he also legitimized the Jihad attempt to masacre people on the Mo’s cartoon event organized by Robert. He just rode a truck over the First Amendment. Someone should interview this clown and put him straight in front of a large audiance. People need to know how much disgrace these people bring to the country.

    Johk Kerry is worthless in government. Packing pickles is more his speed in his wife’s factory. This war, a war with civilization that American has been involved in since the 1780’s until today is all about islam. The “philosophy” is no less onerous than Hither’s idea of a master race. Islamists think, as per Mohammed that they are “the BEST of people” and may, therefore extort, rob, kill , rape and enslave any non muslim the chose. All in all a teennage male’s idea of paradice.
    Is Syria there is only one solution, chruse ISIS utterly . Kill every damned one without mercy, dump Assad and then, using NATO/UN crate a demoicratic republic and manage it until it can stand by itself, funding it with Syria’s petroleun reserves,

      Except for the fast dwindling Christian population, most of Syria is made up of pious Muslims–how would such as democratic republic *ever* stand by itself if their citizens are fervently opposed to freedom and democracy?

Does kerry mean that the “salafist tribes” the US government wanted to support back in 2010 have ALSO “nothing to do with islam”? Have all sunnis ALSO “nothingh to do with islam”, now that kerry’s best friends are iranian shia’s? Because, if i remember correctly shia and sunni say the same of each other “you have nothing to do with islam”, and kill each other about since now 1300 years… So, the real islam at the end has nothing to do with kerry’s islam?

    Kerry: Paris jihad massacre “different” from Charlie Hebdo jihad murders, which had a “rationale”
    …………………………..

    *Good God*. I always think I can’t be further appalled by this moral idiot, and then I am.

    More:

    “There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, they’re really angry because of this and that” — that is, about cartoons of Muhammad. Kerry doesn’t acknowledge that Obama had already given them that legitimacy, in saying “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
    …………………………..

    *Sickening*. Clearly, Kerry is one of those who would not say “Je Suis Charlie!” but “Je Suis Kabouly!”–that he stands not with free speech and the journalists and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo, but with their pious murderers.

    More:

    “Kerry in Paris: Charlie Hebdo Attack Had ‘Rationale’ to ‘Aggrieve One Particular Sense of Wrong’”
    …………………………..

    And who is Kerry to judge that considering Paris a “prostitute” and getting revenge for France targeting ISIS isn’t another legitimate “sense of wrong”?

    More:

    Secretary of State John Kerry told employees at the U.S. Embassy in Paris this morning that Friday’s attacks were more senseless than the Charlie Hebdo assault because there was some “rationale” for slaughtering the staff of the magazine that drew Mohammad caricatures.
    …………………………..

    Throwing brave journalists, cartoonists, and critics of Jihad under the bus. That this scum is *officially representing my nation* makes me physically ill.

    More:

    Kerry began by thanking the French locals who staff the U.S. Embassy. “We could not do our work here without you, and I know it’s particularly difficult right now, but it’s always difficult because you are working, carrying with you whatever baggage comes with the country you work for, and in our case, there’s very little because of our friendship with France”
    …………………………..

    What is this inarticulate tool even saying here? That we come with “baggage”, or that France does?

    He is an ass, in any case. While both our nations have, of course, made some mistakes from time to time, we both stand as beacons of freedom in the world.

    More:

    Friday was absolutely indiscriminate. It wasn’t to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong. It was to terrorize people. It was to attack everything that we do stand for. That’s not an exaggeration.”
    …………………………..

    If he doesn’t understand the importance of freedom of speech America and France, then he understands *nothing* about what our nations stand for.

    And like so many idiots, Kerry does not understand Jihad’s end game–that of forcing us to submit to Islam. Anyone who understands anything about Islam knows that none of these attacks are “senseless”.

    More:

    Kerry continued, “It was to assault all sense of nationhood and nation-state and rule of law and decency, dignity, and just put fear into the community and say, ‘Here we are.’ And for what? What’s the platform? What’s the grievance? That we’re not who they are? They kill people because of who they are and they kill people because of what they believe. And it’s indiscriminate. They kill Shia. They kill Yezidis. They kill Christians. They kill Druze. They kill Ismaili. They kill anybody who isn’t them and doesn’t pledge to be that. And they carry with them the greatest public display of misogyny that I’ve ever seen, not to mention a false claim regarding Islam. It has nothing to do with Islam; it has everything to do with criminality, with terror, with abuse, with psychopathism — I mean, you name it.”…
    …………………………..

    What Kerry is describing is the sick soul of Islam. But he will *never* acknowledge this.

    There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, they’re really angry because of this and that.

    Translation: appease the angry thugs and everything will be OK. Pull out of Iraq, let Iran get nukes – what’s next?

    Kerry simply still does not get it when he constantly repeats that hackneyed mantra “that it has nothing to do with Islam”! Or if he does, he rather not dare to pronounce it openly which would directly contradict his boss, meaning he is just as relevant as Obama’s dog. Go away, barking, and never come back!

        I think most visitors to JihadWatch will know that the upward index finger signal is used by Moslems to signify their “One God” – Allie or Allan or Alloa or whatever its name is (my spell checker refuses to spell out its given name). Is Kurry or Kelly or Kellog or whatever its name is (same problem) trying to tell the Moslems something?

      I honestly think many leaders in Washington are afraid (of the truth) that 1.5 billion people are our enemy, and if they became the focus – well, we would have a hard time winning. But the cold hard truth is the majority of muslims worldwide support: slavery, female subjugation, genital mutilation, death for homosexuals, cut off hands for stealing bread – oh, and if you don’t believe in their religion or leave it – you should die or pay a tax. These are not “moderate” beliefs, any way you slice it. The armies of the Middle East don’t defeat ISIS because they don’t necessarily disagree. They all read they same ONE book.

        We won’t have a hard time defeating Islamic nations. All it would take is 4 months of blistering attacks, after ramping up our oil and natural gas exporting capabilities so Europe would not hesitate to join in. Russia has a noose around their necks for the upcoming cold weather.

        Liberals think innocents should be separated out spared before bombing. How? The use human shields! Obama has actually refrained from hitting ISIS oil trucks to save the DRIVERS, thus enabling $1 million a day in profits for ISIS!!!!

          We can prevent further attacks by raiding mosques, jailing Imams and identifying those who teach the Koran. Then we don’t need to respond, we don’t need to fight it and we don’t need to defeat it. There is no reason for people to continue to live in fear except for Political Correctness. There is no need to fight all muslims, only those who object to the closure of mosques. There is no need to kill on a large scale, only those who are willing to defend Islam. It is Islam and its teaching which is our enemy! All this talk about trying to find terrorists is nonsense. All this fear is misplaced. Only Political Correctness can kill us. No need to “flag” anybody on a terror watch list. Bring them all in for questioning. Just close the mosques! The mosques contain the terror entire network that we are looking for. No terror network exists outside the mosques, so why are we avoiding mosques?

          There’s a parallel here which demonstrates lack of rabies in the United Kingdom that’s been free of it for decades. Whenever a rare case of rabies is found in a wild animal, a quarantine zone is set up and all wild life and even domestic pets that can contract rabies in that zone are put down. Nothing is left to chance and attempts are made to ensure that the zone is large enough that not a single animal could escape spreading it further.

          The parallel here is that it only takes one Jihadist to be let into the country (just like one rabid animal can spread rabies), due to inadequate screening to cause tens or even hundreds of people being killed.

    *… This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate. It wasn’t to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong. It was to terrorize people. It was to attack everything that we do stand for. That’s not an exaggeration.”

    Kerry continued, “It was to assault all sense of nationhood and nation-state and rule of law and decency, dignity, and just put fear into the community and say, ‘Here we are.’ And for what? What’s the platform? What’s the grievance? That we’re not who they are? They kill people because of who they are and they kill people because of what they believe. And it’s indiscriminate. They kill Shia. They kill Yezidis. They kill Christians. They kill Druze. They kill Ismaili. They kill anybody who isn’t them and doesn’t pledge to be that. And they carry with them the greatest public display of misogyny that I’ve ever seen, not to mention a false claim regarding Islam. It has nothing to do with Islam…”* Have you read/understood sura 5:33 Mr. Secretary? David Wood has… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur7Ttz0q0o4

    This is despicable, he is incredible, his logic is warped, the only difference is that the the terrorists used the excuse of being “upset” about the Mohamed Cartoons, as a ratrional for murdering innocent people at Charlie Hebdo and terrorizing France, which is no different then using the “Crusdaer invasion of Muslim countries” as an excuse to murder innocent people in Paris, and terrorize, the people of France.

    they’re incompetent, but they’re a lot of them, so you got to question why? It’s like we are fighting an invisible ghost, or so they would like us to think, because we should actually be fighting them. This whole mess doesn’t make any sense and since we are now focused on terrorism and how to bash on the Muslims, doesnt matter which one, the government continue to be on track with their main objective, to set up a New World Order. Convenient strategy to invite terrorists to every country so as to set up a global police, global policy, global government and fund it all through global carbon tax. it’s no longer a conspiracy, Governments around the world are no longer hiding the fact this is the direction they want to head in. Have you seen Merkel reject holding the German Flag on their national day, throwing it away with digust? Have you seen over and over again reports about how are national pride is now being criticized…Its only to make us weaker as a mob. And better still they also have us fighting against eachother! The problem is bigger then Islam, the problem is our governments that created the problem in the first place and are doing everything possible to silence us and prevent us from doing anything about it, through laws that stop us from rising up as a collective whole bringing the whole NWO to a halt. This is not a joke, it’s been tried over and over again throughout the history of mankind…What makes us think that the human race has changed much? That people with really bad intentions no longer exist? They do and they are now under the guise of a well meaning lefty. We are now in a catch 22 situation….so they are getting bolder in forcing their agendas, but we are too busy bashing the Muslims to even notice.

      I agree with you the NWO must at all cost proceed by hook or by crook and bring in line those that object, like Saddat, Gaddafi, Putin. China. Iran and some other nations, to hasten the issue Migration has been set up to cause even more confusion, but the Rothschilds of this world mis calculated Russia, China and Iran, they are a problem, special they do not agree with the USA and are to dangerous to tackle like the USA did to Iraq, Egypt, Libya….
      Oh and by the way Israel is more and more resisting the USA policies which also is not pleasing to the USA…….. Of course we have Paris, but Paris, the France have been very discriminating towards Islam…Not that I disagree with France, but this is the result and of course the confusion only strengthen the NWO thinking….
      So what will be the next f phase??
      Russia and USA………. But Russia is a huge and strong nation, it beat the Germans it will beat anyone that try to overtake them……USA is no match for Russia…… but Obama, the idiot, may try to pull some stupid things that will backfire by force……

        its frustrating to see it all unfold and not be able to do anything about it. last week someone I talked with mentioned that he had the answer that we should just get rid of all religions. 🙁 the populous are biting on the lefties candy stick of great ideas. i just saw an artical stating the same and wrote my two sense worth. Thank you again for your response. Hopefully, we do have a chance through Russia, China, Iran….and maybe even Eastern Europe….and hopefully Obama continues to screw up to the point of no return. I think the New World Order culprits have peaked a little too early and so are taking a bit of a tumble. but they may regain a bit more of a footing, when more people get killed on the streets of Europe and America and people will start to scream louder then ever to get the problem fixed…next phase…wow who knows…the killing of innoscent people by the government and blaming it on the terrorists, This is probably how they are going to get rid of the people that are resisting thier plans and are in the way.

          The Bohemian Grove. Party on and decide how it all plays out. The premature peaking can be the acclimatising stage, the first glimpse of the iron fist in the paper glove. A last playact at “ensuring everyones security” by invasive observation and social engineering. “Cleaning” the government when/if Republicans get in. (Please Lord.) It will all happen as it must. We can only raise our children to be aware of the changes and prepare them to make life choices based on the self-evident future demise of Western Civilization,destroyed from inside.

    Lurch is simply to stupid to serve in any position of responsibility that requires even modest intelligence.

  39. Theb Nyip says

    Nov 18, 2015 at 8:39 am

    Lurch obviously doesn’t think the US Constitution is worth defending in or outside the USA. As Secretary of State he is charge of US Foreign Policy and yes he, like Hilary, is unwilling to stare down those who are offended, insulted, horrified by cartoons, words, movies.

    Instead he, like Hilary before him, provide philosophical support to the enemies of free speech by talking of how there was a ‘rationale’ to killing the brave employees at Hebdo earlier this year, or issuing statements about how a jihadist attack on a US diplomat was somehow motivated by offense at a movie.

    These people need to go back to school and learn why the USA became strong. It wasn’t from it’s people cowering in fear because someone said something that offended them – no, it was because the USA was intended from the start to be a land of the brave and the strong, a land where people weren’t afraid to say what they thought and to think what they wanted. If you disagree with someone then you can put forward your own views and discuss, not threaten them with gaol like Hilary did, or say that someone has a ‘rationale’ for killing them for drawing cartoons like Lurch did.

  40. Carolyne says

    John Kerry is an imposter. He wants everyone to believe he is from a distinguished old New England family. He is not. His grandfather was an Austrian Jew to came to this country with his wife in the early 1900s. They changed their name to Kerry by dropping a pencil on a map and it landed on County Kerry, so they took that for their name. Kerry should be proud of his Jewish ancestry. Yet, he is a traitor to his own people–the US and Israel.

    His basic hobby is marrying super-wealthy women and enriching himself. His present wife is the widow of conservative PA Senator John Heinz of pickle fame. She inherited that wealth when he was killed in an airplane crash. She did not change her name when she married Kerry, but kept the name of Heinz until his trying to obtain the Presidency, when she temporarily took the Kerry name. I understand she is again Teresa Heinz. A year or so ago she became very ill while vacationing on Nantucket, fell into some kind of coma. She was airlifted to Boston and nothing is publicly known about her present medical condition.

    He is a liar, a gigolo and a fraud. He was disgrace and a traitor in Vietnam and his fellow military have proven it. He is dumb as a sack of rocks. What he said yesterday in Paris, basically that the employees at Charli Hebdo deserved what they got because they had the temerity to draw cartoons of Mohammed is against all American values. We have a First Amendment which permits political dissent and, I assume, so does France.

    Would he have said the same had the terrorists been successful in Texas in murdering the people brave enough to attend and participate in the “Drawing Mohammed” contest? Probably.

    I do not consider him to be a patriot and he is as inept as Secretary of State as Hillary Clinton was. His master, Barack Obama is pulling the strings and Kerry is too dumb to even know that.

    It is doubtful that our country can survive Obama and his traitors.

  41. Oliver says

    Nov 18, 2015 at 5:47 pm

    In ONE SENSE, Kerry is correct. The first attacks were against Jews (one or more of those slain in the Charlie Hebdo office were jews, and the other target was a kosher supermarket.

    This attack was against all French, and looks likew mostly Christians killed.

    That is the difference as I see it.

  42. Karen says

    Nov 19, 2015 at 1:41 am

    Didn’t the killers shout ‘this is for Syria”? Didn’t they select the theater because it was a Jewish-owned site? This attack had as much of a point, and was as “discriminate” as the Hebdo attack.

    I remember during the Bush/Kerry campaign, someone estimated the IQ of both of the candidates, and found that Kerry’s IQ was probably lower than Bush’s.

    Could be, could be……

    • Oliver says

      Nov 20, 2015 at 12:11 pm

      I (personally-and am not a fan of ANY of the Bush family, with the possible exception of Mama Barbara) do not think that George w. was/is as dumb as the media and the Dems make him out to be.

      He was a businessman-successful in some, not in others. Obama, who we are told is a genius- never held a real job, or ran a business. But he is considered brilliant.

      He just hates America; capitalism; and freedom. But few question his intelligence (which i doubt that if not for a teleprompter, he could utter a complete, coherent sentence).

      Bush might ( and did) make errors, but might have had (still has) a physical ailment-not sure of the name- where one says incorrect/inappropriate remarks, weird facial (and other) gestures, etc.
