….Regarding the Tuesday speech, which also denounced Donald Trump, Andrea Mitchell was beside herself: “This was a passionate cry from the heart about his vision of America by this President. He has never before taken on Donald Trump and he just eviscerated Donald Trump in that extraordinary speech.”
Disgraced journalist Brian Williams anchored live coverage and enthused, “Well, we have never seen that before. The remarks that morphed into a foursquare defense of his position and a full-on attack into the rhetoric and words from Donald Trump just yesterday in his speech about radical Islamic terrorism.”….

The Left is desperately and blatantly trying to spin the public attention away from the obvious. The WSJ’s Taranto describes more of this in today’s column, “Sex, Lies, and Orlando”. In the segment below, he refers to the latest New York Times editorial:
Got it? If you oppose Obama’s political agenda and/or object to men peeing in the ladies’ room, you’re responsible for murder.
Accusing decent people of such evil is reprehensible, but the Left does it every day. This is Obama’s America, cheered on by the smartest, most morally supreme crowd on the face of the planet.
The Orlando shooting in a nutshell.
Terrorists: “We did this because our holy texts exhort us to do it.”
Regressive Left: “No you didn’t.”
Terrorist: “Wait, what? Yes we did…”
Regressive Left: “No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.”
Terrorist: “WHAT!? Did you even read our official statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers.”
Regressive Left: “No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.”
Terrorist: “Huh!? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims!? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being.”
Regressive Left: “Nope. We created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We’re sorry.”
Terrorist: “What? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. We targeted unwitting civilians – disenfranchisement doesn’t even enter into it!”
Regressive Left: “Listen, it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome and lashing out.”
Terrorist: “Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take it away from us.”
Regressive Left: “No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame.”
Terrorist: “OMG, how many people do we have to kill around here to finally get our message across?”
I like Michael Goodwin’s line in his recent column, Obama only feels his own pain.
