When the going gets tough, some Republicans fall to pieces
Hillary Clinton delivered remarks in Seattle last night and responded to the deadly terrorism in Brussels, while also pushing back against Republican rhetoric. “The last thing we need, my friends, are leaders who incite more fear,” Clinton said. “In the face of terror, America doesn’t panic. We don’t build walls or turn our backs on our allies.”
It was, to be sure, a nice sentiment, though Republicans spent the day arguing that inciting fear and panicking are perfectly viable options. The Huffington Post had a good summary:
Many people opened their hearts and their doors to those affected by Tuesday’s Brussels attacks that killed more than 30 and injured at least 200 people on Tuesday. Some evendonated blood.
But prominent conservatives used the tragedy to draw links with refugees and border closures, and promote other extremist agendas.
It’s an eery reminder of the hateful rhetoric that abounded in the wake of the November attacks on Paris, when more than half of U.S. governors demanded to stop all Syrian refugee arrivals.
It’s safe to say this wasn’t the right’s finest hour. The top two Republican presidential candidates spent much of yesterday taking turns saying offensive things. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz collectively talked up torture, border closings, and discrimination, with minimal regard for reason. The Texas senator even endorsed the idea that security conditions would improve if only President Obama would adopt the rhetorical phrasing that conservatives prefer.
In other words, in the face of deadly terrorism, leading Republicans generally slipped into incoherence. Offered an opportunity to show their steady hands when the pressure is on, the GOP’s would-be presidents gave in to their worst instincts and put on a hysterical show for the public.

“Last week’s arrest of Abdelslam and failure to detect and disrupt a major terrorist attack similar to that of Paris suggests a far more ominous counterterrorism problem in Europe — incompetence,” Clint Watts ex FBI said.

wtf...this is Danny who sells me Starburst and Dr. Pepper.
Yet you and Maddow don't call the Prime Minister of Poland's statement hateful rhetoric.
Remind me -- are the EU and US vetting process exactly the same, TSA?
Yes or no.
Whiiiiiite Kniiiiiiiiiiiiiight
That dodge was positively Avante-esque.
You didn't answer the question, TSA.
We've already discussed this and I've already answered, refer back 4 months ago in your Spurstalk logbook. But since you decided to jump in on a comment directed to someone else...is the Prime Mister of Poland's statement on accepting no more refugees hateful rhetoric?
So now you are demanding answers when you refuse to give any?
To answer your direct question directly without being a pussy about it like you are being, I can't tell from one quote. If there is a difference between the EU and US vetting processes for refugees, that could be a cause for concern.
To your personal knowledge, TSA, is there a difference between the EU and US vetting processes for refugees? I'm asking you what you know right now since there may have been developments on either side.
Are they now exactly the same?
Yes or no. Just type one word and not some long, angsty dodge.
The vetting processes are all . These people are coming from areas with no reliable record keeping. It's not like we can ask Assad to vouch for a Syrian refugee and get a credit/criminal background report.
I'm not forcing you to answer anything, just like you aren't forcing me to repeat my already given answer.So now you are demanding answers when you refuse to give any?

No one said anyone was forcing anyone, dumbass.
I said you were demanding an answer when you clearly pussed out on the one I asked you.
Since the cir stances are obviously different, it is quite easy for me to say the Polish dude isn't racist and you and your hero Trump are.
That's the exact truth. How do you vet someone who has no reliable record?
Just give them a waiver if they register as Democrat?
Now I'm a racist and Trump is my hero?with that bull claim. Go ahead, back that claim with proof...good luck.
I demanded nothing, you chose to answer my question. And again, why do you continue to ask a question that has already been answered?
Also, the Polish Prime Minister is a woman.
Yup. And the our government has admitted this.
Democrats need all the cons uents they can get. Without Bernie, they would get very little from independents.
Sure.Now I'm a racist and Trump is my hero?
You want to stop all the Syrian refugees from coming in due to their race.
Or would you give them a religion test?
Because it's fun watching you get flustered and avoid answering such a simple question at all costs. You're the one who whines and makes a big deal out of it.I demanded nothing, you chose to answer my question. And again, why do you continue to ask a question that has already been answered?
Eh, three people were quoted in the article. What does that change, in your opinion?Also, the Polish Prime Minister is a woman.
Plus, alot of the migrants are just illegal immigrants from other Arab countries trying to get into Europe. Too bad Europe didn't build that wall.
How does wanting a better getting process make me racist?
asking why you repeatedly ask an already answered question is me being flustered? Lol you've got issues if you find that fun. Ironic you say I made a big deal out of it while you resort to childish name calling.Because it's fun watching you get flustered and avoid answering such a simple question at all costs.

eh, just thought you should know.Eh, three people were quoted in the article. What does that change, in your opinion?
I'm about to leave work don't care to look for you but I know it's linked here and google is pretty good as well.

your process is just to excluded them all.
You've got issues with just admitting even the simplest fact. If you didn't make such a big deal out of it I wouldn't call you a pussy.asking why you repeatedly ask an already answered question is me being flustered? Lol you've got issues if you find that fun. Ironic you say I made a big deal out of it while you resort to childish name calling.
If you are hurt by my words, that's probably another issue you might want to deal with.
So it really didn't matter at all.eh, just thought you should know.
Hey, Fabbs.Belgium's head of Security Chief Gertwald Edlehorn
and his assistant Chump Dumper
Did you kill any potential terrorists today?
Because if you didn't, you're part of the problem.
