When Obama was president the right was screaming
"He won't call out Muslim extremism so he supports them rabble rabble rabble"
Now with Trump the left is screaming
"He won't call out white nationalist terror groups so he supports them rabble rabble rabble"
Basically sometimes you can't make people happy regardless

That's all politics is.. hypocrisy from everywhere.
And all the people arguing on here are in on it 100%.

They didn't like him pointing out that both sides were violent in Virginia, and that both sides deserve blame.

I agree wholeheartedly. And there have been many many absurd arguments about Obama over the last decade. However, there is a fundamental difference between the nonsense being spewed about Trump and cville right now and Obama's refusal to call out Islam. I could write a book about the meaningful distinction, but it has been well covered elsewhere.
More importantly though is the fact that the MSM is pushing the current "dog whistle," "platform," "curry favor" bullshite where they were mostly crickets in years past.

Perfectly correct regardless of the deflections you'll get in the comments. Everyone hates the other guy. I think trump is doing the correct thing, and I thought obama did the correct thing

I think the better comparison is Obama's refusal to call out BLM

You understand an Obama supporter could've made the exact same argument a few years ago right?
Posted on 8/14/17 at 9:35 am to Tiger1242
There is a slight difference. The right wasn't so concerned about Obama's denouncement of radical Islamic terror as much as his mere acknowledgement of it.

Uh, the difference is there actually were and are muslim terrorist that are a real threat where as there are no white nationalist terror groups.

Yeah and for this reason, any Republican not calling out Trump for this is a hypocrite.

Obama condemned "terrorism" and y'all said he had to condemn "Islamist terrorism."
Trump condemned "violence" but he didn't condemn "white nationalist violence."
Different standards.

That's fair. However, one thing I've pointed out is the scope of the presidency. I'm fine with Obama not calling out BLM on local law enforcement matters.
Islam is a threat to national security though and I think that is more squarely within the President's purview, as CIC.
But we all know the president is no longer just the head of the executive branch of the federal government and CIC. We look to him (and eventually her) to be a cultural leader. I think that is anti-American (at least anti North American) but it's irreversible.

Link to where Trump acknowledges white nationalist terrorism?

Obama actually embraced BLM while Trump condemned them all
I do see the hypocrisy of both sides though

Were cool with him constantly blaming police before he knew the whole story?
