Tomi Lahren's Nationalistic Rant Calls For US To Bomb The 'Desert' In Response To Tennessee Shooting
NEW YORK -- A TV news anchors flag-waving commentary on the Chattanooga shooting went viral on Monday due to some provocative lines suggesting the US should respond by sending bombers to the desert.
Tomi Lahren took aim at President Obamas response to the threat of radical Islamism, decrying his be friendly to jihadists mentality. The jingoistic outburst was performed in front of a backdrop featuring an American eagle soaring across Old Glory.
Four United States Marines are now dead, she said. Climate change didnt kill them, lack of free community college didnt kill them, the income gap, wage inequality, nope, not those things either. Gay marriage? Nope. Oh, white racism? Not that either. So what did? President Obama, if you wont say it, I will: radical Islam.
Its about time we bring the fight to them, full force, she continued. Lets show them [the 'radical jihadists'] what the United States looks like up close and personal. Show them what a B1 bomber looks like flying overhead; show them what theyre messing with. Put the fear of God in their desert.

she wants a shot at the "big time" and shed quickly the dust of Chattanooga from her boots.
all hail the new "bubble-headed bleach blond" for fox news. (thank you Don Henley)

(29,322 posts)I blame the media & also responsible are Bush administration officials -- particularly the spy apparatus for information & psychological warfare. The coverage is so selective, generalized, dishonest, & ugly. They got the up close and personal whether or not they were, were kidnapped, taken to secret hidden places, the worst forms of the torture, isolation, sensory deprivation, physical, non-stop loud music (Bagram) passed off to terrible dictators like Jordan, Syria, Morocco, and Uzbekistan (known for boiling Muslims alive). I really hate how she used "fear of God" in that context.
I just noticed she is a TV analyst which I was unaware of when I blamed the media when in fact she is the media.

(15,378 posts)in other words, except for her age, she'd be a front-runner for the GOP 2016 Presidential nomination
As a 30 year active duty retired Naval Officer, I say, that she should march right down to the Chattanooga Recruiting Station that was shot up and sign-up, but then again, I enjoyed my time in the Navy and have great respect for those currently serving. I wouldn't wish this dingbat on any NCO.
Still, just like that scene in Lethal Weapon, I wish she'd put her money where her mouth is;
"Don't just nibble on the barrel...pull the fucking trigger"

(61,710 posts)She'd bomb you because I bet she couldn't find the right "desert" to bomb on a map, as if that would solve any issues with retribution.
She's so stupid, she doesn't understand terrorism. Perfect for FUX news.

(65,616 posts)Yeah I know...she would be verbally torn apart if she had to debate anything above a watermelon or juice box. What is most pathetic (IMO) is that she didn't even KNOW the name of a country to bomb! Their DESERT!?!?
Jesusfuckingchristonatrailerhitch...these people are all sociopaths and stupid from the day they are born.
