OBAMA IS A GHOUL

Dylann Roof, 21, sat in a Bible study in the Emanuel AME Zion Church in Charleston, South Carolina for nearly an hour before murdering 9 of the parishioners he told police had been "so nice to him."

As most of us were recoiling in horror from such evil, "progressives" – pouncing like vultures on fresh killed carrion – politicized this awful crime.

"This type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries," said President Barack Hussein Obama.

Since 2001, there’ve been 14 shootings with as many or more victims in Norway, France, Switzerland, Britain, Germany, Finland, Serbia, Brazil and Mexico.

He knew this, yet he used Roof’s lunacy to promote his Hate America racist agenda.

Whites should condemn "this act of white racist terror," said MSNBC commentator Marc Lamont Hill and CNN commentator Van Jones. That’s reasonable, because it was. Mr. Roof wanted to start a race war, he told police. I don’t know of a prominent conservative who hasn’t condemned him for it.

 This isn’t. "White America must answer for the Charleston church massacre," said the Webzine Salon.

When Aaron Alexis murdered 12 at the Washington Navy Yard in 2013, Salon didn’t think all blacks must answer for it. When Nidal Malik Hasan murdered 13 at Fort Hood in 2009, Salon didn’t think all Moslems must answer for it. When Seung-Hui Cho murdered 32 at Virginia Tech in 2007, Salon didn’t think all Asians must answer for it.

A white man has been the culprit in 9 of 15 mass shootings in America this century. That’s less than the white proportion of the U.S. population (63 percent).

Gov. Nikki Haley isn’t to blame because she permitted the Confederate battle flag to fly over a monument to Confederate soldiers. Fox News isn’t to blame because Dylann Roof watched it from time to time. Nor – despite Hillary Clinton’s vile assertion – are the (accurate) things Donald Trump said about criminals among illegal immigrants to blame.

South Carolina was the birthplace of the Confederacy. "Progressives" pretend nothing has changed since 1861. A great deal has. South Carolina is the only state in the union to have a nonwhite governor and a black U.S. senator. Race relations are better in the Palmetto State — and throughout most of the South — than in many northern cities.

Besides smearing whites in general, southern whites and Republicans in particular, "progressives" plumb for more gun control laws.

He bought his gun in April, Dylann Roof told police. He’d been indicted for a drug offense in March, which made it illegal under both federal and South Carolina law for him to possess a firearm of any kind.

Mr. Roof passed a background check anyway. This isn’t a "loophole" additional legislation could close. Either the FBI is doing a poor job of keeping the list of prohibited persons updated, or background checks are inherently ineffective. More than a dozen mass killers passed them.

It was also illegal for Mr. Roof to carry the gun it was illegal for him to own into the Emanuel AME Zion church. South Carolina has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. Every big city where murders are rampant has strict gun control laws. Criminals pay no more attention to them than to the other laws they break.

Five men who broke into the home of a 34- year old woman in Detroit June 8 were forced to flee when she shot back. The day before, a 27-year old Detroit woman shot a would-be carjacker in the arm.

 Democrats would deprive the law abiding in high crime areas of both police protection and the means to defend themselves. The first gun control laws were passed in the post Civil War South, to keep blacks from defending themselves from the Ku Klux Klan.

If they gave a damn about the victims, "progressives" would ponder why nearly all mass shootings take place in "gun-free zones;" why so many of the killers –like Mr. Roof — were on psychotropic medications which make them violent.

But "progressives" see the victims mostly as props to help them push their political agenda. Ghouls.  Any yes, that description applies to our "progressive" president.
