    It wasn't accidentally. Wasn't there a push to side with those fighting al-assad? Yes there was.

    Yes, and the lesson was learned and sadly forgotten by the insane left

    We would hope that Obama/Hillary will eventually come out and denounce these Right-wing radical religious anti-gay groups, along with the terrorists who support ISIS, who together, obviously hate the Transgenders, successfully murdered 50 from the gay community.

    Not oddly. Wasn't the discussion about where/when the started? The name changed many times. The leader was consistent. Even at that, there is no concenses on the exact time line. But the formation started in 2004.

    Oddly it wasn't the left who forgot about 9/11

    Omg , did Donald blame radical Muslims instead of a evil gun. That is why we will be calling him mr. President.

    Irrelevant. I'm talking about what Obama is responsible for, not Bush. Stick to the topic.

    Are you suggesting that the left actually learns from past mistakes? We may need evidence of that.

    Almost 2 million refugees left Iraq for Syria during the Iraq war with the U.S. Who do you think those folks are today?

    All Hillary is going to do is play the "only bigots blame Muslims" card in hopes that will win her some votes. WOW has she misread the current atmosphere . She nor Obama are fit to protect the nation. These two dimwits cant even utter the words radical Islam much less protect us from them. Oh wait....Obama has done something besides playing golf, hes ordered the flags at half mast. WOW.....is that going to show these terrorists. You just wait evil terrorists...we are going to light candles next and put teddy bears at the shooting site. This appears to be our strategy to fighting radical islam.
    Hillary is also blaming guns but not radical islam.

    You forgot 9/11. Are you a lefty?
    Not 100% on this, but the one's on his watch have been domestic. All were born here.
    At least one on a FBI watch list and nothing. So that is on Obama and the laws we have. But what is the line between liberty and security?

    You did not present any facts, only what you think the facts are, no links, nothing, but insults.

    You're making zero sense. I'm not doing anything you described. You don't even know what my argument is. Re-read what I wrote and try again.

    The split with Al Qaeda is the birth of ISIS, that is when they became the most brutal, that is when they started grabbing and holding territory, contrary to the Al Qaeda organizations and affiliates. ISIS openly recruited fighters from anywhere, they called for attacks by anyone who wanted to support their cause. The holding of territory also granted a revenue stream organizations like Al Qaeda never had. To pretend that ISIS isn't something completely different once they moved to Syria and broke with Al Qaeda is a blatant lie with only one intent, to deflect the truth place their existence on anyone but Obama...

    Hillary Clinton sure wasn't "playing it safe" today when she was making bold and loud demands to remove guns again... she wasn't giving out her "thoughts and prayers"... she instead was capitalizing on this to garner support from the anti-gun crowd... she didn't mention the guy was a licensed security guard, a trained security guard, and he passed a background check... she failed to mention all those things in one of her many quotes in todays newspapers... gun laws wouldn't have stopped him at all...

    so is it wrong for Donald Trump to respond the same way Hillary Clinton has today, grandstanding for political gains?

    is it wrong when Trump does it but okay when Clinton does it?

    do as I say, not as I do?

    P.S. I don't know what intent you had with your message, but I don't want this to come across as sounding like an attack on you, I'm just following up with information to those who say its wrong to make political statements for political gain, clearly BOTH sides are going at it hard today in their responses online and offline... so please don't take this as a personal attack to you, I read it and it kinda sounds that way so I thought I would clarify, as I don't know the intention of your message...

    I gave a link to the leader of ISIS. So there was no deflection, no lie.
    To say it started in syria and obama is the sole blame is the lie. And it is you making that claim.

    Then I can see you are OK with much more death. You won't see Israel being this stupid. Maybe a nuke going off will convince you, Obama gave them that ability

    Ironically you're doing the same thing.

    We're done with political correctness.

    ISIS is Obama's jv terrorists that he's been playing footsie with because 'Assad must go' among other reasons. Even now he's covering for them by getting the Russians to not attack them in certain areas because 'moderate' rebels are inter-mingling with them. This is months after the ceasefire agreement that was supposed to separate these groups.

    Obama has deliberately let ISIS grow. He could have shut them down but didn't and has admitted as much.

    From the New York Times August 2014:

    The reason, the president added, “that we did not just start taking a bunch of airstrikes all across Iraq as soon as ISIL came in was because that would have taken the pressure off of [Prime Minister Nuri Kamal] al-Maliki.”

    I didn't say Obama is the sole blame, but ISIS as we know it did start in Syria, the very article you linked acknowledges that, you do have to read past the first three or four sentences to see it though...

    Obama's significant role is his idiotic calls for regime change in Syria and supporting any and all terrorist organizations in Syria to oust Assad. Whether the US armed ISIS directly is irrelevant because many of the 'moderates' that ISIS dominated and destroyed were armed by the Obama regime, so Obama armed them indirectly. He is responsible for that, and all of that was before ISIS took almost a 1/3 of Iraq. Obama and Clinton's failure to get a force agreement in Iraq is directly responsible for the ISIS invasion and loss of territory. To deny Obama's role in ISIS rise is a pure lie...

    Yes, nothing is more correct than turning the murder of 50 people and the wounding of 53 more plus the mourning of a nation into a political talking point. Trump could have at least had the decency to wait a respectful period of time before taking advantage of this tragic event in a series of attack tweets.

    As to the cause of the tragedy, there is more here: http://wp.me/p5LXzb-pS
