But on Sunday, when he was still in Spain, President Obama delivered a full defense of Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n<p>The President said one of the &#8220;great things&#8221; about our country is that people can &#8220;petition the government,&#8221; protest, and &#8220;speak truth to power.&#8221; Protesting is sometimes &#8220;messy and controversial,&#8221; he said. At times the rhetoric is overheated and counterproductive, he said. But &#8220;the point&#8221; is to &#8220;raise issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Obama told reporters: &#8220;I don\u2019t think that you can hold well-meaning activists who are doing the right thing and peacefully protesting responsible for everything that is uttered at a protest site.&#8221; He went on: &#8220;I think that the overwhelming majority of people who are involved in the Black Lives Matter movement what they really want to see is a better relationship between the police and the community, so they can feel that it\u2019s serving them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_54515\" class=\"img_right\" align=\"right\" src=\"\/eznewrush\/var\/plain_site\/storage\/images\/media\/images\/00-rush-morning-update2\/884729-1-eng-GB\/00-Rush-Morning-Update.gif\" \/>Obama compared Black Lives Matter to antiwar, environmental, civil rights, and feminist protesters, all protesting in the fine traditions of America.<\/p>\n<p>I repeat all that from Obama to ask this. Where was the loving embrace of protest when the Tea Party formed to &#8220;petition the government&#8221; and &#8220;speak truth&#8221; to his power? Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Those &#8220;well-meaning activists&#8221; were illegally targeted by Obama\u2019s IRS, in an attempt to destroy them. Those who did it were never held to account. And, under Obama they won\u2019t be. Equality? It\u2019s a shame with this bunch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America is still reeling from the carnage in Dallas, with 12 police officers shot, five of them dead.
