Costello: Obama exploits tragedy
Barack Obama is never one to let a tragedy go to waste. And how he chooses to exploit a convenient tragedy depends upon what best 
serves his cause of the day. In February of this year, three Muslim students were killed in Chapel Hill, N.C. Obama leaped at the opportunity to advance his pro-Muslim agenda. Without bothering to await information, he condemned the killings as a religious hate crime."No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship," he said.He adhered to this narrative even after it was learned that the shootings resulted from a conflict over a parking space.
Does anyone remember Obama defending Christians' right to worship as they choose after nine were selected for execution for their faith at Umpqua Community College in southwestern Oregon? I don't. When Dylan Roof murdered nine Christians in a predominately African-American church in Charleston, S.C., their right to worship never came up. Instead, Obama transformed it into pointless, symbolic attack on the Confederate battle flag. In this latest killing, Obama didn't even wait for the notification of next of kin before exploiting the tragedy for his cause du jour. Even though the victims were clearly selected for "how they worship," Obama decided that this was his opportunity to push his gun control agenda/Michael Costello, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
