Mother Jones editor says "Tomahawk" Missiles are Offensive

The editor of a Progressive magazine says the use of the word "tomahawk" (as in "Tomahawk" missile) is offensive to American Indians. Clara Jeffery editor of Mother Jones suggested on Saturday that American Indians are likely offended by the name of the missiles President Trump launched this week in a strike of Syria. 

"That the missiles are called tomahawks must enrage a lot of Native Americans" she tweeted on Saturday.

Where was Clara when Obama launched 112 Tomahawk missile attacks in Libya in 2011!

Were Tomahawk missiles offensive to American Indians  when Obama was in office ?

I wonder what Indian Chief Faux-cohontas (Lizzie Warren) thinks about this horrific offense to Indians?

I'm a Native American. Let me clue you in real quick like. Things being named after the natives is a compliment. So? Tell her to shut her white butt up. Did I, a Native American, ask for her liberal bullcrap opinion? No? Well there ya go. We're happy with our casinos, so get your white liberal butts out of our way. We were here first. You're destroying our country. Whites aren't the problem. White liberals are the problem. Nobody gives a crap about mascots. You created it in your white, imperialist minds. Quit telling Natives what they think when you are the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and the Trail of Tears. YOU oppressed my people. Own it. You want some white guilt? Own your liberal bullcrap. Help us protect our country from an ideology commanded to slaughter us in the Quran. My god. What is wrong with you people? You want a war in the U.S. because of Islamic taqiyya? Wake up liberals and learn Islam or you will be destroyed by it, and it will be YOUR own fault. What part of this is hard to understand?

The Leftist are all about playing the "Victim Card" that is really all they have at this point.

Hello again, bront:

Good question.. The part I don't understand is that there are 1.5 BILLION Muslims on the planet, and MOST of 'em aren't trying to kill me..

Lemme ask YOU a question.. I dunno WHERE you live, but I promise that you have Muslims IN your community.. They're NOT hiding, either. IF they're gonna KILL you, what are YOU doing in YOUR town to STOP them??? Blogging????

I'll tell what I would do IF my ENEMIES were living amongst me. I'd ROOT them out and stomp on their heads.. You???

That's the first stage of jihad, to get sympathy and allies within their enemy's camp. That's how every Muslim conquest in the last 1,400 years has went down.

I've been debating Muslims for nearly 20 years. They cannot be your friend or do things that are not halal unless.... it's out of deception to conquest an infidel region or out of self defense. It's why Muslim leaders seem cordial in Western interviews, then you see the same leaders screaming "death to America!" in youtube videos. It's a political ideology of conquest with a god attached to it as a default because the concept of god was a very effective tool 1,400 years ago for Muhammed, still is.

If one were to sum up the goal of Christianity you might say: help the poor, save the lost souls, love one another, etc. Islam has one single goal. Victory and conquest of the entire world. Go check out taqiyya, tawriya, muruna, and kitman. It's what the 9/11 hijackers used to blend in unsuspectingly. It's why when Muslims kill in the West, many times their associates are confused. "He was such a nice guy..." Yeah, and then he helped kill 5,000 people in one single day because the infallable Prophet Muhammed told him to. Once the second stage of jihad hits in America, I don't want one peep out of the left. And once the third stage hits, convert or die and may God be with your soul.

Referring to missles as defensive is militarily intelligent. Using a name to make them sound brave and honourable is jingoistic. Simple truth is exploding things looks cool on film, but is not actually that cool in everyday life ..

Tomahawk missiles have been in place and used since the early eighties. Did Mother Jones just wake up ?

The name Tomahawk is not to make the missiles sound brave or honorable, it is to make them sound like deadly weapons which are wielded with great skill and accuracy; that is what they are, same as a tomahawk in the hand of an Indian warrior. It's much more likely that a native America would feel pride in the name of the missile as the Tomahawk than that they would be offended. Whoever said they might be offended wants them to be offended because they depend on having a class of people who feel like victims to support them in their power grabs.

59 of these awesome weapons were buzzing around over Syria, circling and picking targets until they all dropped in rapid order. China, Russia, Syria, Iran, North Korea.....all took note of how easily and accurately we can evade missile defenses and strike at will. I doubt that there will be another gas attack in Syria.....I sure hope not anyways because it will probably bring full scale war and Russia knows it now after Obama let them slide the first time they did a gas attack.

Not likely now to be another gas attack, and not likely to go to war with Russia over Syria. As long as Russia is keeping a base in Syria, they don't care about any gas attacks or a few Tomahawk missiles hitting a few jets.
