The Patriot Post® · Who's the Enemy? Fox News or Islamists?
Michael Reagan: “How did Marie Harf – the deputy spokesperson for the State Department’s Bureau of Public Affairs – get her job? … Appearing on MSNBC’s ‘Hardball with Chris Matthews,’ Harf said the best way to fight Islamic terrorism is not with guns and bombs but with job programs. … Harf was being dumb, but she was completely serious. … Instead of beheading or incinerating innocent people merely for being Jewish or Christian, they could flip burgers at the Baghdad McDonalds, work on an Exxon oil rig or become a community organizer in Mosul. … But at least she used the correct term ‘Islamic extremism’ to describe what ISIS and its terrorist soldiers are practicing and what we are fighting against. Obama’s stubborn refusal to acknowledge that reality is perverse. … Attorney General Eric Holder thinks it doesn’t matter whether his boss calls terrorists ‘vicious, violent zealots,’ which Obama has said, or ‘radical Islamist terrorists,’ which he won’t say. Holder knocked Fox News Tuesday for its crusade to get Obama to use the accurate term, saying that the president’s military deeds speak louder – and are more important – than his words. … The crazy thing is, this administration actually uses tougher language on Fox News than it does on radical Islam.”
