Clown Obama in Paris: America's the only country with mass shootings
Whoopsie! Obama, standing in the city of Paris where 130 people were just shot dead in a mass shooting, says without irony:
“With respect to Planned Parenthood, obviously, my heart goes out to the
families of those impacted,” Obama said in response to a reporter’s
question. “I mean, I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass
shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries.”
Even in the left wing "fact checker" (air quotes) Politifact declared Obama's frequent claim that mass shootings happen only in the undesireable country of America.
The data shows that it clearly happens in other countries, and in at
least three of them, there’s evidence that the rate of killings in
mass-shooting events occurred at a higher per-capita rate than in the
United States between 2000 and 2014. The only partial support for
Obama’s claim is that the per-capita gun-incident fatality rate in the
United States does rank in the top one-third of the list of 11 countries
studied. On balance, we rate the claim Mostly False.
Let's remind ourselves that the reason the founders of this country inserted the Second Amendment was so that we can defend ourselves against an out of control government, especially a fundamentally transformed one.
ReplyDeleteWow. who knews having a black man as President would turn people into such hateful, inhumane, disgusting racist bigoted black-hating scumbags….oh wait, I did.
Not that I agree completely, but he’s kinda correct. it doesnt happen in other countries. it’s extremely rare. For example between 2000 and 2014 there were 3 mass shootings in Canada. Three …in 14 years. We’ve had as many in a single day
time to take your head out of your sand.
Politifacts Obama statement; that was during another shooting and they picked specifically on his choice of words. the “mostly false” part only works if you parse his sentence. they parsed this part:
“this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
no sh1t sherlock but that’s not what Obama was saying because he followed it up with “it doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency”
politifact goes on to say:
“By contrast, the second part of Obama’s claim — that “it doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency” — isn’t entirely off-base.
We compared mass shooting incidents across countries is to calculate the number of victims per capita — that is, adjusted for the country’s total population size.
Calculating it this way shows the United States in the upper half of the list of 11 countries, ranking higher than Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany and Mexico.”
“The chart does show that the United States has more mass shootings — and more people cumulatively killed or injured — than the other 10 nations combined, partly because it has a much bigger population than all but China.”
that’s more than all ten countries combined which together has over 1.7 billion inhabitants. so yes mass shootings do happen in other countries but nowhere near the same frequency EVEN if you factor in population differences
“Over the decade and a half studied, the researchers found 23 incidents of mass shootings in the other 10 countries, resulting in 200 dead and 231 wounded. In the United States over the same period, there were 133 incidents that left 487 dead and 505 wounded.’
that’s all 10 countries including china which has 3x the population of the US
“The reality of the recent instances does not appear to be ‘easy access to guns’ or a lack of regulations regarding them – all recent shooters passed background checks, all had weapons legally obtained or stolen from others, and each State where they have occurred follows Federal guidelines with regard to ‘mental illness’ stipulations.”
the planned parenthood shooter had a criminal record. why was he able to own firearms?
Why does Obama hate America? He doesnt, he wouldnt be a president…
Why is Barack Obama an evil man? He is only if your a Republican
Why Is Barack Obama destroying America? He isn’t actually his doing better than what you think
Is Barack Obama a Muslim? He is only if your a Republican (he really isn’t)
Is Barack Obama an Traitor? He isn’t, unless your a Republican
Is Barack Obama a Communist? He isn’t, unless your a Republican
Why is Barack Obama a terrorist? He isn’t, unless your a Republican
Why is Barack Obama a gay homosexual? He isn’t, unless your a Republican
Can Barack Obama be impeached for the damages he has done? He has done over 87% less damage than or last president did, so impeachment isn’t an option, unless your a Republican
He loves the people of the United States, and the people are the country.
IF you were unbiased, you MIGHT be able to see that this president is a terrible leader. But YOU, sir, are the racist because you make excuses for a man who has proven himself disloyal to this country. And, SORRY, but the whole RACIST meme has worn itself out. You all have used it ONE TOO MANY TIMES.
DeleteMr. Mann. This is not my blog so I will not refute point by point but...Is EVERY criticism of Barack Obama racially motivated?
ReplyDeleteDo you think maybe, just maybe, his performance might be slightly less than flawless or do you believe in Obama's innate perfection and as such, criticisms of performance can only be motivated by racial animus?
If you believe the president's performance is less than perfect (and you would not be the first to believe in his divinity) would you say he is the first president to be criticized? More so than Bush or Clinton?
What does it say about the man's character that he and his proxies and his minions still play the race card seven years after he has been granted the keys to the White House and has lived more extravagantly and treated more gently than any of his predecessors?
