Right-Wing Media Falsely Claim Candy Crowley Walked Back Her Fact Check Of Romney

[christiefan915]

Zapped, YOU are the one "parsing words" here, not us. We all know what "terrorist attack" means and what "act of terror" means, and we can view the transcripts of what the president said on 9/12 in the Rose Garden. As Candy Crowley admitted after the debate, Romney was correct about the main point, which was, that the administration stood by their story this was a "spontaneous protest" about a video, and NOT a planned "terrorist attack." The fact that Obama delivered one line of patriotic platitude and included the words "acts of terror" in that, doesn't mean he called it a terrorist attack, he didn't. He still hasn't come out and specifically said the people who killed the Ambassador were terrorists.

YOU are the one parsing words, you want to pretend the Administration has called this a terrorist attack all along, and that simply isn't the truth.

Four stories, are these people terrorists?

And someone wishing to instill terror is, by definition, a terrorist.

Not always. NFL linebackers seek to instill terror every Sunday on their opponents, they are NOT terrorists!

Terrorist attacks in the recent past have been planned and implemented by a single terrorist.

A spontaneous uprising is NOT a planned terrorist attack.

Then please give us an example of an act of terror that you believe isn't a terrorist attack.

The Aurora shooting. Columbine. Alabama's Defense on any given Saturday!

Then please tell us which "acts of terror" the president was referring to when he made that comment?

We don't know, he didn't specify. The comment came directly after condemnation of those who made a video, so maybe he was talking about the video makers? Perhaps "denigrating the religion of others" was an "act of terror" to the president? HE DIDN'T SAY!

Was it 9/11? The Oklahoma City bombing?

Don't know, he didn't SPECIFY!

Or just maybe was he referring to the terrorist attack that had JUST OCCURRED in Bengazi?

It's impossible that it could have been BOTH a spontaneous protest AND a terrorist attack.

Naturally.

This man terrorized the country for years, yet look how he's described in the article. People just refuse to recognize terrorists for what they are.

Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski (

/kəˈzɪnski/ ka-ZIN-skee, or ka-CHIN-skee; Polish: Kaczyński, pronounced [kaˈt͡ʂɨȷ̃skʲi]; born May 22, 1942), also known as the "Unabomber", is an American murderer, mathematician, social critic, anarchist, and Neo-Luddite[SUP][2][/SUP]. Between 1978 and 1995, Kaczynski engaged in a nation-wide bombing campaign against modern technology, planting or mailing numerous home-made bombs, killing three people and injuring 23 others.

This is all a part of a Rightwing plan to redefine what constitutes a "terrorist attack" so when unbalanced RightWing Militia types go nuts and gun down innocent people, they can pretend they aren't "terrorists".

I think most intelligent people now know Fox lied about this.

My work here is done.

I am glad this energized your base, lord knows you people needed SOMETHING!

Problem is, it also energized OUR base, and the consequences will be BRUTAL!

Is Dixie really going to compare a terrorist attack to a game?

Football players play a GAME...there's a BIG difference between a game and a terrorist attack.

A spontaneous uprising is NOT a planned terrorist attack.

So a mob involved in a spontaneous uprising cannot spontaneously decide to target some innocent bystanders?

Would not a small group of bystanders feel terror as they begin to realize the danger they face from the aforementioned spontaneous uprising?

The Aurora shooting. Columbine. Alabama's Defense on any given Saturday!

Aurora and Columbus absolutely were terrorist attacks.

We don't know, he didn't specify. The comment came directly after condemnation of those who made a video, so maybe he was talking about the video makers? Perhaps "denigrating the religion of others" was an "act of terror" to the president? HE DIDN'T SAY!

He also didn't specifically state the Bengazi attack wasn't a terrorist attack.

Don't know, he didn't SPECIFY!

He didn't say it WASN'T either.

It's impossible that it could have been BOTH a spontaneous protest AND a terrorist attack.

Please explain how you determine that a spontaneous protest cannot under any ciscumstances become into a terrorist attack.

I didn't 'compare' anything. You asked for an example of "instilling terror" that wasn't terrorism. I gave you three.

So a mob involved in a spontaneous uprising cannot spontaneously decide to target some innocent bystanders?

Sure they can, but that is not an organized terrorist attack. And that isn't what happened here.

Would not a small group of bystanders feel terror as they begin to realize the danger they face from the aforementioned spontaneous uprising?

Perhaps, but you are PARSING definitions here.

Aurora and Columbus absolutely were terrorist attacks.

Really? What terrorist group was responsible? These were random acts of terror, NOT terrorist attacks.

He also didn't specifically state the Bengazi attack wasn't a terrorist attack.

No, but his press secretary did for 2 weeks to follow.
