Why are the R's afraid to condemn terrorism?

"We condemn such attacks, regardless of the motive."

Would not take a second... You see the next president will be expected to be president even on thanksgiving weekend.

That kind of works. But 'attack' makes it sound like organized terrorism, which would be clearly misleading according to known facts. The shooter is an apparent loner and obviously needs medicated and maybe even institutionalized.

If I were one of their advisors, I would have them say something like, 'mental illness needs to better addressed in this country and hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families'.

No political point to be made---and there shouldn't be.
 
The entire Republican field promoted lies and faked videos about Planned Parenthood all summer, and are embarrassed someone who was dumb enough to have fallen for it would try to do something more than use the lies for justification to take more action than to try to use those lies to attain political support.
 
Let's find out what one of the candidates who aren't politicizing the circumstances had to say:

Note that Cruz did not condemn the murders.

Likely Cruz is against murder at Planned Parenthood Clinics, I feel sure of that, but he still wants the votes of those who do believe the lies he told about falsafied videos all summer, so he wont condemn the murders, he will simply express sympathy for the families.

That's kind of it: all but 99.999% of conservatives or conservative Christians abhor anti-abortion violence. Which is why it's so rare in spite of the fact there's well over a hundred million Christians in this country.

If and when we get to over a hundred million Muslims the left will change their tune.

That's if this was actually anti-abortion violence. When the "best" we get is a story saying the cops can't say what the motive was even after hearing a mention of "baby parts" in his ramblings it is a bit early to go into "this was a meaningful attack against abortion"...

No matter why this nutjob when off the rocker, what he did should be condemned, but wanting to know what you are condemning beforehand is prudent.

As you said it should be condemned so why are the Republican cannidates not condemning the murders? Or do you need to know more about murder before you feel safe condemning it?
 
Its because they spent a summer lying about Planned Parenthood and promoting faked videos.

The idea that some dimwit might have actually fell for it, and not see it for simple political pandering for contrabutions and power terrifies these cannidates.
 
OMG

ARE YOU SERIOUS? AN ANTI OBAMA PAMPHLET???????

HOLY FUCK

LEGION TROLL CRACKED IT WIDE OPEN FOLKS

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO EARLIER?


Bwahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

did you know you get 72 virgins if you hand out anti-Obama pamphlets and you don't even have to wait to go to paradise?.....

and yet everything said about PP was true.......just think, if the Dems had supported shutting down the baby parts mill at the time this PP center would have been there to be shot up.......

that being said, steps need to be taken to make sure this kind of thing never happens again, legislation needs to be passed......make insanity illegal!.......

do you think they should condemn this particular murder more vehemently than the murder that happened last night in Los Angeles?.....or the two in Chicago?.......how about the attempted murder in Buffalo?.......for that matter, did Hillary say anything about the two murders in Chicago?.......

Shouldn't Christians be out there stopping guys like this?

Haven't you argued that about moderate Muslims in the past?
 
My point exactly... You guys jump to attack Obama's wording on his condemnation of attacks within moments of the attack happening, but when none of the Republican cannidates condemn the senseless killing of three people, its because they are being cautious.

How many Planned Parenthood employees were killed?

If this weren't at an abortion mill this wouldn't have been on your radar.
it is a nothing burger but keep on beating the dead horse
 
I think it is funny that Legion Mohamud keeps calling them Planned Parenthood murders implying that Planned Parenthood employees were killed when they weren't

Just an act of workplace violence.
