Lieberman Rips Obama For Refusing To Use Phrase “Violent Islamic Extremism”…
Yeah, Liberman is a Democrat-at-heart but at least he isn’t blinded by political correctness when it comes to the jihadist threat like the rest of the left.
(TheDC) — Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent Connecticut chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said Thursday that the Obama administration has refused to use the term “violent Islamist extremism,” arguing that the White House’s overly cautious word parsing constitutes a refusal to ”speak honestly.”
Sen. Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, also said this makes the global fight against Islamic terrorism “much harder” for the United States.
Lieberman focused his criticism on a recent report issued by the administration, titled “Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States,” saying that it “suffers from several significant weaknesses.”
“The administration still refuses to call our enemy in this war by its proper name — violent Islamist extremism. You could find names that are comparable to that but not the ones that the administration continues to use, which are ‘violent extremism,’” Lieberman explained in a speech at the National Press Club sponsored by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
“It is not just violent — there are many forms of violent extremism, there’s white racist extremism, there’s been some environment-eco extremism, there’s been animal rights extremism. You could go on and on. There’s skinhead extremism. But we’re not in a global war with those. We’re in a global war that affects our homeland security with Islamist extremists.”

The Tea Party movement is a bigger threat to this regime than radical Islamists .
Joe knows that if the muzzies gain power, he will be the Canary in the Coal Mine. Then it will be a bit late for him and his fellow Jewish community.
Joe is not blind like the others in his party. I do not know why he does not cross over?
Obama is not about to offend his biggist supporters
He prefers to call them ” angry people with cloth hats and long beards.”
You could waterboard these fuckers for weeks and they still would never say the word “islam.”
Joe is a jew and realizes what islam is , if it wern’t for that he would be just another brain dead liberal progressive commie rat bastard.
“violent Islamist extremism?” Gimme a break!
Its Islam, just Islam, nothing else.
Liebermann is a PC tart also.
So Lieberman gets one thing right.
He still votes 99% Democrat on every other issue.
Sen. Lieberman’s problem is expecting the Obama Chicago Thug White House to speak honestly about anything. Never happen.
Give me a fkn break.
Kapo just now comes out and somewhat runs his mouth
We have a TRAITOROUS MUZZIE POS in the unwhite house and everybody thinks a FKN election in 2012 is gonna change it.
There will be no elections and ALL OF YOU KNOW IT….
…..ok,nevermind,lets just watch football
“violent Islamist extremism” – triply redundant
Look out green king pig obama we angry birds are tired of your lying
In 30 years there were no politicians who could outsmart me on any issue I engaged. I have been on the air with large numbers of politicians through illegal means including this one. I could not stand some people and it was very rare that I ever supported anyone. There were days when I resolved issues so severely people were unable to present their programming as planned.
But Joe, Obama doesn’t want to offend terrorists. They would feel bad if he called it as you say.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He’s still a lib now matter how you slice it. aka useless.
