It is simply mind-boggling to hear Fox News talking heads turn the tragic massacre by terrorists in Paris into an assault on President Obama. In their view, it seems the greater crime is the President’s failure to describe the killers as “Islamic” or to acknowledge that we are engaged in a “war against Islam.”
Apart from the patent absurdity and blatant partisanship of these inane declarations, it is apparent that no thought was given to the logical extension of such assertions. Would these “journalists” level the same accusations against a president who failed to identify extremists as “Catholic” or “Jewish” if that happened to be their religious affiliation or to declare, as a consequence, that we are at war with “Catholicism” or “Jewry.”
