U.S. Embassy In Cairo Condemns Hurting Mus...
Jessica Testa
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo released this statement condemning religious intolerance — particularly intolerance directed at Muslims — hours before Egyptian protestors attacked the embassy, destroying the American flag and replacing it with a black flag declaring “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger.”
The protesters were demonstrating against a U.S. film in development about Mohammad. The statement continues:
On Special Report, columnist Charles Krauthammer replied to the statement with outrage:
That outrage spread to Twitter, where President Obama was compared to President Carter. A lot.
As crowds storm US embassy in Egypt, one instantly thinks of 1979, Iran, Pres. Carter. Not the comparison Obama wants.
So basically Obama went "Full Carter" today.
Jimmy Carter can sleep peacefully at night. Obama has long surpassed him as being the most inept President.
I think that we can all agree that when our embassies get attacked and Americans killed, Obama has failed at diplomacy. Jimmy Carter anyone?
Carter 2.0 - We apologized to the trash who attacked our embassy in Cairo for 'abuse of free speech'. And Obama is the foreign policy wiz?
Somebody mail Obama a cardigan! Embassies being attacked! We need a misery index! The metamorphosis to Carter is almost complete! #tcot
Carter lost 1 embassy; can Obama beat total? Multiple concurrent incidents re US embassies–consulates. Technical acts of war: as was Iran.
This just in - Obama sending helicopters to free the embassy! #Carter
UPDATE: The White House has disavowed the embassy’s statement. A senior official told Politico that it “does not reflect the views of the United States government.”

gcsapo 8 months agoWhy should I be sensitive to religion when it is not sensitive to me? I’m equally offended. The world and everyone’s lives are affected by the conflicts of religion. I left them in peace to be believers and live how they want, say what they want, and I must be sensitive to that, and I was. But in return (ALL religions) judge me! and given the chance to be in power, I guarantee, would take away half my human rights. This is also MY planet and no one should dictate what I should think or how I will live my life. I don’t disparage religion, but its time to do away with these arrogantly domineering people in ALL religions.

I have a three year old that I’m teaching to use her words that understands the concept more than these morons who are throwing tantrums. And misdirected tantrums at that.
