    On their own, the right wing cannot figure out why The president refuses to insult an a billion Muslims.

    They just can’t figure it out. They f*cking need it spelled out for them.

    What a waste of time.

      It’s their culture really. Consider the fact that they are perfectly fine with their candidate insulting veterans, women, people with physical disabilities and minorities.

      Yet post a comment about how “Christians” do one thing or another, and they’re all too happy to explain to you that “that’s not Christianity”, or that their sect “certainly doesn’t feel that way”.
      (And yes, I know I just lumped the “Right” with “Christians”, but Hey; I fold together socks that match,too.)

        If you think Christians match with the Right you don’t know Christianity.

        For example, my church has plenty of gay members, including LGBT at all levels of leadership.

        We may be a minority but we are hardly unique.

          I’ve never heard of an atheist bombing an abortion clinic, nor joining a “patriot” militia, but I’ll accept examples.

    Obama brilliantly explains his position…but that’s the “problem”. It is too nuanced for the Dumps followers to understand.

    The real problem is that President Obama is just too smart and too intelligent for Tramp, Repukes and the rightwingers to keep up with.

      It doesn’t help that Right Wing talking heads purposely misunderstand and misportray everything the president says.

    Why won’t conservatives say, “violent homophobia”?

    Because they are sympathetic with the gay bashers?

    For the same reason he doesn’t call Scott Roeder or Robert Dear a radical Christian terrorist. It’s not rocket science.

    Don’t need to do the enemies work for them. Here’s a 70 year old WWII propaganda poster that deals with just this subject:
