Why is sympathy for Islam so common on the political left?

    Yes he did.

    I will give him credit for at least putting it in the proper thread.

    Still not funny and makes no sense.

    Who is saying that about Baghdadi?

    lol. "all of the sympathy that the democrats and the left have been expressing"???

    who is doing that?

    lol. look at the trump butt-kisser pretending that they think troops are brave.

    trump says POWs are not heroic b/c they were captured, slanders gold star families, lies about troop pay increases, says he knows more than the generals about ISIS and constantly fights with decorated military men...and you trump butt-kissers LOVE IT! you dont get to now turn around and use the troops as a prop to be a suck-up for your god trump.

    you were 100% behind the iraq war and accused those who were against it of being anti-troop/anti-american. and now you are a butt-kisser for someone who says the iraq war was a mistake. just shows how all you care about is politics and partisanship. pathetic.

    why is love of putin and all things russia now so common from the party of reagan? what happened to yall?

    just because trump loves authoritarians and is seemingly compromised and controlled by putin that means yall now have to love russia too? yall were not like this before trump came along. just like how yall were pro-iraq war/foreign intervention before trump came along.

    Love it. And also gives me the opportunity to say how much I respect you as a poster. You always look for the good points on both sides of the partisan divide and challenge people to do so as well. And no, not asking for your vote or a small loan. :D

    The American Democrat left media, commiserating and sympathizing with America haters and supporters of radical Islamic terrorism, yet again. Of course this has been the pattern of behavior among these people over the last few days, since the American killing terrorist leader Soleiman was himself killed last week. Here is one example from ABC News, where George Stephanopolous and Martha Raddatz are taking the lead in this disgraceful and very disturbing behavior:

    ABC's Raddatz Moved by 'Powerful’ ‘Profound’ Soleimani ‘Mourners’ Chanting ‘Death to America’

    From the streets of Tehran, Raddatz spoke with protesters chanting ‘death to America’ and burning our flag, while taking shots at President Trump. Raddatz couldn’t find the words to be critical of their response; instead, she seemed to sympathize:

    “Soleimani's image everywhere. The impact of his death profound. The crowds are massive and emotional. There are many tears here,…” she gushed.

    After warning about Iran’s threats of “revenge,” she continued hyping the “emotional” response to the terrorist’s death:

    "Inside the funeral service, the emotion just as powerful. The supreme leader of Iran weeping and praying over a coffin draped in the Iraqi flag. This is the largest funeral in Iran since the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989," Raddatz stated.

    The clip quoted looks like straight reporting of the atmosphere of the funeral. I don't read it as sympathy. Newsbuster's criticism seems to be that the reporters didn't editorialize enough by condemning or criticizing what they saw. The point I take from the reporting is that this death is a very big and galvanizing event for the Iranian people, and their government is going to have the public behind them (perhaps pushing) if they counterattack. Seems newsworthy. If the reporters also injected how Suleimani was a "terrorist" or that he'd killed Americans, it might be good propaganda to generate support for Trump, but it doesn't do much to increase our understanding of what Iran is thinking and doing.

    There is a place for reporting on how Suleimani is a terrorist who'd killed Americans. We need to also understand the history of provocations and how this guy in particular is important in operationalizing them so we can understand why we targeted him for assassination. But, we don't need to inject loaded words into every other news story to prop up this angle.

    Again, posting your cartoons in the wrong thread... this belongs in the "2020 Campaign Disinformation (Propaganda) Thread".

    Iranian "terrorism" is proxy wars hiring state sponsored militias for nationalistic reasons. They also stick to their regional influence.

    Just ask yourself how many Shia extremists attacked Americans in Western soil.

    Also ask yourself what is the difference between Saudi expressing their regional influence in proxy battles in Yemen with thousands of civilians dying and Iranian influenced proxy battles in the region.

    At least Iranian proxies fought entities like ISIS that DO attack westerners in Western soil.

    I’m not sure I’m following you here... Saudi is an ally. Iran is not. It’s fair to criticize them. But there is a difference between the two.

    yes, yes, yes, the left is the real enemy - they love those who hate America and want to replace Trump with a NAZI leader who will exterminate all queers, blacks, mexicans, Jews, and other minorities to make this country pure white. How diabolical! You are so smart!
