So it does not strike you as odd to use that phrase? It does not seem exceptionally coincidental that those two used it at essentially the same time in the same way?
You routinely, normally, hear people casually say, "yom kippur worshippers"? This is a normal, expected, not in any way unusual thing to you? And, it does not strike you as being even noticeable, let alone note-worthy?
I literally said it was a silly term a few posts ago.
The only coincidental thing is the same use of the term by a few politicians. My guess is a PR team came up with it and used it.
The funny (or sad) thing is, had they not said anything, would the right be pissed for not saying anything?
You folks are absolutely making a mountain out of a mole hill. One could look at the tweets and say "wow, they highlighted the tragedy took place on Easter of all days.", but then again, some folks could say "but they used a term no one uses and we need to discuss that term (I think Toxic said something about semantics arguments when talking about Melania?), in length, for awhile."
This same level of argument was no where to be found when Trump said "at least 138 million" were killed or when he didn't mention anything about religion. This same level of pissed-off-ness was no where to be found when The Washington
Times said it 5 years ago.
Oh yea, then criticized Obama and Clinton for it:
The right is frequently exhausted after pointing out all the times the left is outraged over something so trivial and silly, and yet here we are. Bitching, not because Obama, Clinton, and whomever, ignored the tragic bombings, but because they included a phrase that "no one uses". Amazing stuff.
