This is unbelievable. I don't believe you are purposely taking things out of context to paint Obama in the wrong here. I just think you are too fvcking stupid to realize that the choice of "media" (used loosely) you obtain your news from is bogus.
You completely took "staying on course" out of context. Want to know where that quote came from? It came from Al Sharpton. For decades, your side has gone out of the way to try discrediting anything the reverend says; and that's fine. But now you are taking his word as gospel? And your hypocrisy in that is also fine. I will forgive the sheer stupidity in that. What I won't forgive is you (or your choice of media) completely taking Sharpton's quote about Obama's words out of context. This is the article where your side took it out of context. This is Sharpton's exact quote:
According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”
Let me dumb this down for you since you clearly aren't bright enough to find reputable media sources for your news. You claimed that Obama's quote (which was through Sharpton, not even directly from Obama) of "staying on course" was him promoting and encouraging violence. Yet, in the very next quote Sharpton claims Obama said, Obama tells them he hopes they are doing all they can to keep peace. Now, does your comment make any fvcking sense when you look at the entire quote?
After you read the entire quote from Sharpton, it is clear that Obama wanted to make sure they were staying on course for what the leaders were advocating. They weren't advocating violence. They were advocating attention to police brutality and racism. That was why he said "staying on course" so that the protests didn't turn into something else. He further solidified that in the very next comment about doing everything they could to keep peace.
Seriously, you fvckers have destroyed this board with bogus bullshit.
All of you -
@Dog Rescueer @19MU88 @SamSwimmer @ohio herd - are also guilty of doing this. You go around "liking" these posts based on bogus information and are also to blame for it.
All of you fvcking idiots: look at the entire quote. Now, explain how "staying the course" means to continue violence. Fvcking morons; all of you.
