American Conservatives Gleefully Politicize Paris Tragedy To Bash Obama, Refugees, Immigrants, Gun Control, Iran, Muslims
As the recipient of a tweet storm after expressing the view that it’s not President Obama’s fault that Paris was attacked; after taking phone calls from radio listeners blaming liberals, Muslims, immigrants and refugees before mentioning terrorists, I feel utter disgust at how the American right is reacting.
While world leaders expressed support and empathy for the carnage, and French media put on a “master class in how to conduct responsible, measured journalism,” right-wing pundits dumped their sewage on the pages of Facebook and Twitter and on American news networks.
As French journalists made note of the many tweets and messages of well wishes from across the globe, conservatives competed with each other to say the most offensive idiotic things they could about the attacks, even while the violence was still unfolding in Paris streets.

ISIL is trying to bring on World War III and Conservatives are doing their bidding.
Islamic extremists are probably very happy to have so much help from Conservatives here in America. It was like a ‘who can be the worst person on Twitter’ last night — and it was a toss up.

Every tragedy shows how small these conservatives really are.

I agree with the title of this article….

Such dark souls some have….
dewired4u November 14th, 2015 at 15:18
they are not conservatives they’re reactionaries….
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker November 14th, 2015 at 15:22
Of course these heartless sociopaths invoke our President.
Because who else would display such hate in the event of a tragedy before the bodies are even identified.
They sure sang a different tune after 911.
Maxx44 November 14th, 2015 at 15:57
Ignorance is bliss. Saw a Facebook post with photo of Saint Ronald claiming he would have eliminated ISIS already, apparently unaware that Ronnie cut and ran after the bombing of the Marines barracks in Beirut back in ’83.
Roctuna November 14th, 2015 at 15:59
Even days or weeks after a US mass shooting it’s “too soon” to politicize the tragedy but the right can’t even wait for the gunfire or the bleeding to stop to politicize anything they wish. They’re absolutely disgusting
Maxx44 November 14th, 2015 at 16:14
Absolutely spot on!

Hell, rMoney politicized Benghazi within minutes and the right has been using the dead Americans as political footballs for over three years. There are not words sufficient enough to describe what the American right has become.

ISIS has a fifth column in America…
I’m sure they’re gleefully rubbing their hands together, chuckling softly.

They’re called the Tea Party and the Freedom Caucus

ValianThor November 14th, 2015 at 16:23
C’mon, ‘Gleefully”?
Maybe, sometimes, we have to lay down the high-minded ideals of liberalism, to embrace the harsh reality; and to utilized conservative deterrents….for survivals sake.
anothertoothpick November 14th, 2015 at 16:26
Uh, no.
whatthe46 November 14th, 2015 at 16:28
cons are the reason this is happening. invading a country on a lie and murdering thousands of innocent people. yes, they are gleeful.
Roctuna November 14th, 2015 at 16:29
Make that tens of thousands and millions of refugees
whatthe46 November 14th, 2015 at 16:35
thanks for the correction.
Roctuna November 14th, 2015 at 16:44
American press never covered how many Iraqi civilians were killed by the Bush/Cheney war for dollars. Those two kicked the ant mound and the world has been suffering for it ever since.
Roctuna November 14th, 2015 at 16:32
If history has shown one thing, it’s that you cannot defeat a terrorist movement by killing the individuals or by using “conservative deterrents” as you euphemistically claim. The only way to defeat them is to remove the motivations to join their movement.
AquaMadMan November 14th, 2015 at 16:36
Then you can in no way possible call yourself a liberal or a progressive.
Gina Bousquet November 14th, 2015 at 17:24
He is not a liberal!!
maggie November 14th, 2015 at 16:50
yeah…gleefully because they are looking for the emotional satisfaction of instant gratification of just blaming and harming blindly anyone who happens to be middle eastern..or human rights/advocates or sympathizers….conservatives will gleefully blindly mindlessly mow down whoever….they feel like randomly deciding is suspicious …..Conservatives are not “revenge is a dish best served cold” kind of people and they expect to get excused for the damage they do because they feel they are justified….as opposed to …the liberal plan of don’t demonize innocent people ….just go after the bad guys….it would be great if like Kerry says the syrian state as it exists now is no more a transitional gov….anything is better than what is happening now…and move forward with a new constitution and voting….insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result….syria will be better when it does something different.
Gina Bousquet November 14th, 2015 at 17:27
Wouldn’t you say liberals live in the harsh reality while cons stay in the loony world?

MBJR November 14th, 2015 at 17:38
For survivals sake? Yes let’s listen to the folks who tore the sh!t up in the Middle East, yea lets listen to them. Do you hear yourself?
And liberals can’t defend themselves? Of course not, so let’s go from high-minded thinking to low- minded stupidity so we can feel safe again. Insane!
tracey marie November 14th, 2015 at 20:59
Get real, within an hour the rwnj’s were tweeting stupid blaming the President and calling for more guns

They are just HOPING we get hit like that so they can blame it on Obama and the Dems.
whatthe46 November 14th, 2015 at 19:04
why not. we got hit under repukes watch and they still blame Obama. they won’t take responsibility then and they’re not taking responsibility now. this is afterall, the continued result of bushy/dick.
Allison Renée Alworth November 14th, 2015 at 22:05
It’s also indicative of how they view themselves as”The Party of Responsibility.” Not.

Yes that is how sick they really are
ValianThor November 14th, 2015 at 17:23
Let us sit back, and observe how our French brothers and sisters respond to this situation. Surely it will be a more thoughtful one, than our own knee-jerk response was after 9/11/2001, and which helped fuel the conflagration we now face.
fahvel November 15th, 2015 at 03:51
i hope you are right.
Robert Smithson November 15th, 2015 at 09:12
Oh yes, the French. The people who lost their country in what, like 60 days to the Germans at the beginning of WW2? Yes, let’s see how this terrible attack will make them react.
arc99 November 15th, 2015 at 10:44
It is attitudes such as your that make me have such complete contempt for right wingers. You right wingers were crapping your pants over a threat from a guy named Saddam who posed zero threat to the United States. You right wingers talk tough but when it comes down to it, a small country that posed no threat to the United States scared you guys sh*tless.
so take your false bravado BS and shove it.
Carl Gottstein November 16th, 2015 at 10:53
Sounds like you leftys are crapping you pants at the idea your policy’s are bankrupt and the truth is exposed.
whatthe46 November 16th, 2015 at 15:21
you mean the truth that the rwnj’s murdering bastards started a war and profitted from it or in awe that that have created this. every person murdered at the hands of ISIS, blood is on the repukes hand. take responsibility. for once in your miserable life.
trees November 16th, 2015 at 15:43
You right wingers talk tough
so take your false bravado BS and shove it.
This is so typical of the left wing, to accuse the right of doing the very thing that they, themselves, practice.

I was just reading mother jones.(5 mo old article)..Clementa Pickney opposed concealed carry….the NRA blames him for the AME massacre…the church being a gun free zone. But the NRA also calls Gabby Giffords (former arizona congresswoman and gun violence victim) and HRC (and any women who support gun control) prostitutes and whores on national television at their annual conference….are you all willing to trust the NRA’s judgement….?
whatthe46 November 14th, 2015 at 17:33

Adept at fomenting violence and preaching brutality in an anomic world,
are the Eagles of DeathMetal. However, at the first signs of trouble in
the Bataclan, these lubbers were the first to be spirited out of there,
by the side entrance, and down the alley, across the street with nary a
scratch or bruise… this, according to a band member’s call to his
brother. As for the slaughtered flocks in attendance, not so much.
Gina Bousquet November 16th, 2015 at 16:36
You thought it would be manly of them to just stay on stage to be slaughtered? You are sick
Frank Foster November 14th, 2015 at 18:57

tracey marie November 15th, 2015 at 15:18
My solution is to make all your fear and hate spewing ammosexuals to be sent to fight what you created.
Carl Gottstein November 16th, 2015 at 10:51
ammosexuals? Liberals are twisted.

Oh, that and give them a hug…..
They’re, the terrorists, terribly misunderstood.
whatthe46 November 16th, 2015 at 16:05
why don’t you speak to why there’s an ISIS? why don’t you speak to the war being a lie and was for profit only? you people just can’t be honest with yourselves or take responsibility for the shit stormed your hero’s started. damn shame. if somebody took a dumb in your back yard you’d be pissed off too.

Islamic jihad is as old as Islam itself. The establishment of a caliphate is something they’ve pined for, subjugation is the goal of the Muslim.
Islam literally means, “to submit”, the jihadist intends to subjugate others

We told them when they went into Iraq.

War in Iraq Propelling A Massive Migration

In the years following 2003, Iraq’s
refugee problem has grown into what many observers regard as an unprecedented
crisis. [1] One in twelve Iraqi families have fled their homes and not returned
[2]. A population shift on this scale has not occurred in the Middle East since
the establishment of the state of Israel and the displacement of Palestinians
in 1948.

The Reichwing is never outraged with school, theater, and other mass shootings in the US. It is simply someone bad exercising his 2nd Amendment rights and not being stopped by someone else exercising his. But give them a chance to blame Obama or target anyone other than whites and they will be banging the drums for war. Wish they cared about the kids in Sandy Hook as much as they do their zeal for war.
Bunya November 14th, 2015 at 23:46
Does anybody remember when Bush and Cheney allowed the U.S. to be attacked on 9/11? Everybody rallied around our president, including liberals. It seems to me that President Obama has kept us safe his whole presidency, and STILL can’t catch a break – even from attacks that didn’t happen in this country.
Darksnark November 15th, 2015 at 00:23
What’s disgusting is how those right-wing douchebags in this country who’ve spent years labeling the French as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” are now crying convenient crocodile-tears for the people of Paris.
You can tell a lot about people by how they react to frightening situations like the Paris attacks and, where our domestic Righties are concerned, it’s like somebody broke open a sewer pipe connected to a fear-factory….
