Ilhan Omar Trivializes 9/11 Terrorist Attacks: 'Some People Did Something'

Crenshaw didn't call her a terrorist nor has anyone here with more than 2 functioning braincells if that's even been leveled at all.
YOU are the one who has used that strawman, not me.

We've called her a ****, and an ignorant one at that because she can't even get the org founding right.

 

Can you just imagine if Congressman Pirate Patch said, "There was that kerfuffle down in New Zealand with that guy that did stuff or whatever."?

How much analysis do you think the left would do of the context before they broke out the pitchforks and the torches?

 

I'll call her a terrorist apologist, and believe you me, I have references available upon request.

 

Hitler got up to some shenanigans.

 

You are focusing on 4 words, and ignoring what she actually was talking about.

If you think that is a sensible and honest thing to do, and that she is actually dismissing the 9/11 attacks as nothing, and that was her point, I can't help you and any of the other people that buy into this continued over the top smear on everything she says.

 

I see Omar's fellow violent leftists are engaged in a no holds bared game of whataboutism

 

Here's more:

 

It's like electing an American-German with ties to the Nazi Party while Hitler's in power, and actually expecting a pro-American to come from that representative.

 

Omar is violent? Who are you talking about?

 

It is amazing how hypocritical the right is in their media/news, as well as their "derangement syndrome".

 

They're not being hypocritical, they're being American. It's not an 'allegation' of dual loyalty, it is a fact that she has dual loyalty. Actually, that's being generous. Dual loyalty implies she ever had loyalty to the USA to begin with. That's why Minnesotans are realizing their epic mistake and preparing her primary opponent.

Only Americans regardless of political affiliation should occupy the offices. Not non-Americans. The framers were clear about this.

 

You are trying to excuse her comments as trivial and making up claims that it was taken out of context.

She is false. Those words are very important and she should be reprimanded for what she said.

She is a complete idiot and a dolt.

 

They are being hypocritical because their media is akin to the National Enquirer or Nazi propaganda....

this whole thing is simply a perfect example of exactly what she was talking about....she was talking about all Muslims being treated as second class citizens and being treated as terrorists and as being un-American.

Lo and behold, look at what her actual topic was, and how it is being manipulated.

 

No, the people who buy into this smear are the idiots and dolts.

 

It's not being manipulated. She proved it herself by saying that it was a "thing". It was more than a thing that someone(multiple someones) did. It was an attack and a declaration of war against Americans. Now, try to find a Japanese-American who says the Imperial Japanese navy did a thing on Dec 7.1941(You won't.) And hell, Japan's the one that has an open admittance of difficulty with war guilt.

If you can't openly defend the US, you don't have loyalty to US. It's really that simple. She disqualified herself of any future office with that statement. And if she wants to pout about that and who knows, joins some 'resistance' because of it she'll be further proving us right.

 

Some people.

Did something.

 

Was in London last August and couldn't believe my eyes. By my estimation, about 35% Muslim. Was in Paris the summer before and it's full of trash too. Absolutely pathetic.

I don't ever plan on visiting those two cities ever again in my lifetime.

 

The title is "Here's what she really said." like they were going to put it in context, and show you how her words were twisted, but than they basically just went on to to acknowledge that yeah, she pretty much said exactly what everybody said she did. There was no mitigating context mentioned at all.

I guess the HuffPo was hoping nobody would read past the headline.

It's actually worse when you see it complete with context. She brushed off the 9/11 attacks like a pesky fly, and then she promptly went on to suggest that Muslims were the true victims of 9/11.

 

I was in Paris last year, and there were police in full riot gear everywhere, complete with armored cars with barricades on the front parked so they were blocking bridges, because OF COURSE the hordes of Muslims were out in force pissing and moaning about Palestine.

Why can't they keep that crap in their own sand pits?

 

Here's more:

 

I'm still waiting for somebody to give us this "context" that we're supposedly all missing.

Not holding my breath.

 

First off: nobody has taken what she said out of context. You haven't even attempted to explain how she was taken out of context.

Second: NOBODY said she was a terrorist in this thread. THAT is taking what people have said out of context.

You are part of the problem.

But.....your hypocrisy is entertaining.

 

Photo taken yesterday in Israel...

 

Doesn’t seem to me like she was trivializing 9/11. But I read the entire sentence, which is probably more than most conservatives have done.

 

She's full of chit. She's molding a narrative not telling the truth.

The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) was created as an "organization that challenges stereotypes of Islam and Muslims" (CAIR letter to Vice President Gore, June 10, 1995), a "Washington-based Islamic advocacy group" (Press release, August 28, 1995) and an "organization dedicated to providing an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public" (Press release, December 13, 1995). Prior to establishing CAIR, its founders observed that "the core challenge [in America], that of stereotyping and defamation, was having a devastating effect on our children and paralyzing adults from taking their due roles in civic affairs" ("The Link," a newsletter published by Americans for Middle East Understanding, February–March 2000). Within that understanding, they formed CAIR to challenge anti-Muslim discrimination nationwide.
