Obama Dragged Kicking and Screaming to Lower White House Flag

[Streetbull]

"He finally announced they're gonna lower the flag at the White House to half staff in honor of the Marines killed in Chattanooga. They held out as long as they could. They looked for a motive. They overturned every rock. They looked into every nook and cranny. They were desperate to find anything that they could latch onto that said this had nothing to do with militant Islam, and finally they found just the opposite. They found evidence that militant Islam is behind this, be it Al-Qaeda or ISIS. By the way, what does it matter whether it's ISIS or Al-Qaeda?

You know, some of the Drive-Bys are trying to make a big deal, "It wasn't ISIS. It wasn't ISIS! It was Al-Qaeda." What, is there a difference? What, do we now like Al-Qaeda? Is Al-Qaeda somehow not a threat now? ISIS is the only threat? Just amazing."

As usual, about 99.6% of the time, Rush is right.

Didn't the white house flag get lowered for one of those black criminals that were killed assaulting police?

and he wouldn't lower it for a terrorist attack on service members? Obama is a straight up shtbag.

[repsDTGdaily]

they worked quickly to get the white house lit up in rainbow colors after the marriage law was passed.

It had nothing to do with, "militant Islam".

This kid was doing drugs and drinking alcohol, more than likely fornicating, and going out to bars/clubs. More than likely majority of his friends weren't even Muslim. The kid was born and raised in America, quite assimilated as well.

Interesting, once again, people think only Whites can use the whole, "mental illness" excuse.. but if they're non-White, it's anything BUT that.

I mean, yeah, we can't assume terrorism without any background info on the guy. But...

Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the gunman who allegedly killed four Marines and a Navy sailor last week in Tennessee, had downloaded audio recordings of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-Yemeni cleric who was a recruiter for al Qaeda, law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The gunman also had CDs of al-Awlaki's sermons, the officials said. Al-Awlaki was killed by an American drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

A law enforcement official also told NBC News that Abdulazeez's uncle in Jordan is believed to be "radical" and officials are investigating whether he influenced Abdulazeez when he was living there. Abdulazeez traveled to Jordan from April to November 2014.

Abdulazeez's family said Tuesday that the uncle is not radical as was described. They said the uncle, 40, is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Kuwait, and is a business owner in Jordan who moved to that country in 2010 to help take care of his parents.

The uncle has been detained in Jordan since the day after the attack, a lawyer there told The Associated Press. Computers and phones were taken from the man's home, but he has not been charged, the lawyer said.

Investigators are trying to determine the motive behind the deadly rampage. Abdulazeez, 24, was killed in a shootout with police during the attack on a reserve center. Abdulazeez's family said he had been depressed for years.

The law enforcement officials told NBC News that investigators are looking into whether at least two acquaintances in Tennessee knew of Abdulazeez's plans in the months before the attack.

Investigators in Chattanooga, the officials said, are also trying to determine whether two acquaintances who went with Abdulazeez to buy ammunition were aware of his plans.

I'm not one to get personal about being anti-obama, but this is chitty on his part.

[Bushmaster]

Love him or hate him, one thing you can say is you will never have to wonder what his priorities are.

Couple of people on here say I am obsessed with my dislike of Obama.

Gee, I wonder why.......

The guy was an Awlaki fan.

That's a terrorist? FFS the tards in this forum board alone think that because we even practice the religion of Islam we're "radical"

The guy was also depressed, a drunkard, and a druggy..


But cot damn if he was White, that's enough evidence to determine that he was simply crazy.

lol merikuh logic

[Renegade83]

Didn't know Obama was directly responsible for lowering of flags.

dude, get your head out of your ass and bury your bias. the only reason you are denying that he was a muslim extremist is because you are muslim. everyone else can see the truth. why cant you?

Or because.. he was a druggie, drunkard, and depressed..

Muslim extremist you say? No.. more like a Muslim in name only, just so that his parents wouldn't nag him, I could imagine.


Everyone else sees whatever truth they want in order to feed their bias. You want every crime committed on this earth to be done by a Muslim.. because THAT's your bias view. In a perfect world, only Muslims commit crimes because Islam told them so.

Most terrorists have mental issues as well. Does not mean they are not terrorists.

Dylan Roof was a mentally ill person, and also racist. The racist ideology worsened his mental state.

Similarly, this guy was mentally ill, and also a radical Islamist. Radical Islamism helped to negatively influence his mental state.

Ideologies have an impact on mental health, radical Islam and racism are both very destructive to your mind. You are acting like the mental illness has no connection to the ideology being adhered to, when in reality there is a huge connection.

[SnatchMan]

Didn't ISIS tweet out something about the shooting right before out happened? They were in contract.

Gesus, just noticed your sig. How offten do you get accused of hating Jews around here?

[Aesthetical]

May as well just leave it at half mast forever in honor of all our fallen soldiers overseas giving up their lives for complete bullchit.

so assimilated yet he could not control his islamic urges

Are you being sarcastic or serious? The U.S. President directly issues the order.

FLYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF: The pertinent section of the Flag Code says, "by order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possesion, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Our thoughts and prayers as a Nation are with the service members killed last week in Chattanooga.

Thats a good point.

[Ge_Tech]

I have to agree with the op that Obama should have ordered the flag lowered much earlier. Shame on Obama for this one.

[SDC77]

LOL @ Rush Limbaugh source. As of today, the FBI is saying there is nothing *yet* tying the killer's actions to Islamic terrorism.

The jingoism of the far Right in this country is completely out of control. Lowing a flag isn't going to bring the victims back, it's merely symbolic and now has become a political football. It was terrible what happened and it epitomizes senseless violence, but taking cues from right wing talking heads and feigning outrage over every happening is a sure fire route to a miserable life.

BRB can light up white house like XMAS tree when gay marriage passes within 2 hours

takes five days to lower flag after troops are murdered by a terrorist on a base disarmed by Clinton

lol @ the "far left" on this forum

Lighting up the White House in rainbow colors and lowering flags are both senseless. Neither means a damn thing except to the overly emotional.

[tmertz]

The more and more I venture over to this sub forum the more I dislike our government.

Keep up the good bros

Yet it highlights his bleeding heart priorities, which is what this thread is about.

Troll harder.

[brighamw]

It's a miracle ill hasn't been black bagged yet or made a cameo in the latest isis vid, wonder which will happen first?

[StoliFun]

I find it difficult to believe that someone asked the president if they should lower the flag, he said no, and later changed his mind.
