#1 I think I am going to throw up.

So that's the new narrative? So its the same excuse making all over again?

Haven't they been listening to what ISIS is saying?

Please explain all of those rich pampered kids running off to fight with these monsters

#2 Actually, there's nothing 'bizarre' about it at all, if you examine the community organizer.

Behold the Ferguson, Missouri World View.

#3 Looks like ISIS or ISIL will end up similar to Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, Iranian Revolutionaries.... And actually be recognized as a ruling entity for which to appease.

#6 "I think I am going to throw up. So that's the new narrative? So its the same excuse making all over again?"

Yup. The New Narrative is no different from the Old Narrative: Muslims are the new "Officially Recognized Poor Helpless Brown-skinned Victims of Western Imperialism" and are to be fawned over and pandered to. Treating these murderous savages as having "legitimate" grievances makes Progressives feel warm, fuzzy, and "inclusive."

"Haven't they been listening to what ISIS is saying?"

Of course not. They only listen to Marx, Mao, Chomsky and Michael Moore.

#7 What, exactly, does Obama mean when he says "legitimate grievances"?

How about – corruption? President Obama correctly argues that for recruitment purposes terrorists exploit citizen’s discontent with their government. Many of the Obama CT policies rightly deserve considerable criticism. This twisted statement is not one of them.

#8 But the tea party grievances are not legitmate, they are all based on racism or something.
