Democratic National Committee Has Banned the Word ISIS

The democrats, wary of the fact they poll so poorly on terrorism have censored the word ISIS from all speeches.  Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright gave out copies of her speech, which included mention of ISIS twice, but when she gave her speech both references had been deleted.

From The Washington Times:

In the remarks passed out to reporters, Mrs. Albright was to say that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is trusted by allies and “who knows how to work with them, not alienate them, to defeat ISIS” — using a common acronym for the Islamic State.

But in delivering her speech on stage, Ms. Albright left out the entire line.

Later in her speech, she was slated to say Mr. Trump “has undermined our fight against ISIS by alienating our Muslim partners.” Instead, in speaking, Ms. Albright substituted the word “terrorism” for ISIS.

The GOP convention last week spent an extraordinary amount of time focusing on Mrs. Clinton’s record handling terrorist hotspots in the State Department — including the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, and the threat from the Islamic State.

But Democrats have shied away from talking about terrorism during the first two days of their convention.

Trump’s campaign mocked the democrats for refusing to use their name:

“Maybe they didn’t mention ISIS because Hillary Clinton’s foreign invasions gave ISIS a launching pad — something we can be sure her base is none too thrilled about. Or maybe they didn’t mention ISIS because Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want a monumental increase in Syrian refugees,”

If they don’t want to say ISIS,, perhaps they could use synonyms.  Like “the Junior Varsity” or “The group Obama has on the run.”  Or perhaps they are bolstering their case that there is no Islamic terrorists by making the case there are no Islamists.
