| Why does the WH humiliate Women of Color? |
| 2016-06-22 |
| [NYPost] Idiotic: That’s the only word for the Obama administration’s move to scrub references to Islam or ISIS from the transcripts of Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen’s calls. Under an avalanche of ridicule, the Justice Department on Monday relented and released the full transcripts. But what was the point? Everyone already knew that he’d pledged allegiance to ISIS and its “caliph.” Fine: President Obama wants to make this about gun control, not terrorism — but ham-handed editing only calls attention to what you’re deleting, and to Obama’s peevish rules against uttering terms like “radical Islam.” Just look at the redactions: Mateen: “I pledge of allegiance to [omitted]. “I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].” All the omissions did was make Team Obama look determined to keep its head in the sand about the nature of the enemy. Even the “explanations” sounded dumb. Here’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch on ABC’s “This Week”: “What we’re not going to do is further proclaim this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups, and further his propaganda.” Further his propaganda? Seriously? The answer to Islamist jihad is to black out the words? Lynch never did anything this absurd in all her years as US Attorney here in New York, so you know the order came down from above. It’s also idiocy déjà vu: Four years ago, Team Obama made then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice tour all the Sunday shows to blame the deadly Benghazi attack on an Internet video, rather than on the terrorist plot they all knew it was. She looked a fool once the administration finally admitted the truth, just as Loretta Lynch does now. It makes you wonder: Who at the White House feels compelled to send women of color out to humiliate themselves on national TV? Human shields ? |

| #7 The people in the WH look moronic. This scrubbing of the Orlando massacre is as stupid as the cover-up of the reasons for Benghazi; namely laying it off to some guy making videos in California. These people are dangerous--very dangerous. Makes one think of the Reichstag fire. |

| #6 Because they imagine they are empowered when they are associated with power? Thrust upon them, so to speak. |

| #5 ..that is, the WH treats us as expendable in their pursuit of 'fundamental transformation'. |

| #4 Why should they treat women of color any different than most Americans? |

| #2 Because in Islam women are livestock? Sorry, but I couldn't resist. |
