Dinesh D’Souza says “the left” is responsible for ISIS

In the narration to his “documentary” film 2016: Obama’s America, right wing provocateur Dinesh D’Souza famously said “incredible as it may seem, there are people within America who want a world without America.” He was talking about that perennial boogeyman “the left.” But last week he was a little more explicit about who the enemies of America really are. I’m sure you can guess who that might be:
I think this is a really — this is a serious issue, because here you have guys like, you have Obama, you have Holder, and you have Al Sharpton. Now, can a cop acting under the exigencies of his job expect justice if those three guys were deciding the outcome? I mean, it seems really clear that they are fostering an atmosphere in Ferguson that basically goes, “Let’s declare that this guy is probably guilty and let’s see what we can do to put him up against the wall.” The idea that he would get impartial justice is becoming highly questionable, so this has become a real problem.
Now, historically, blacks have faced this problem and it looks like what we’re seeing is a kind of complete flip, so that we’re going from one set of injustices to another. And that’s, you know, what the common thread between ISIS and what’s going on in Ferguson is you have these people who basically believe that to correct a perceived injustice, it’s perfectly OK to inflict all kinds of new injustices. Behead guys who have nothing to do with it. Go and loot shops from business owners who are not part of the original problem whatsoever. And all of this is then licensed by the left and licensed to some degree by the media.
Beheading and looting are the same thing. And “the left” is responsible for all of it. I’m going to guess that plenty of his compatriots think the same thing.
