Freshman Rep. Curt Clawson (R-Florida) came to his first day on the House Foreign Affairs Committee trying to lay down the law using his impressive experience of being the boss-guy everyone had to listen to in his private-sector job. He didn't realize he was speaking to senior U.S. officials from the State Department and Commerce Department even though they were introduced as such by one of the chairmen. Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar were exceedingly gracious about the whole thing, I must say!
People makes mistakes. Point is?
And some aid just got fired for not briefing him properly. Also, ffs don't ever post Upworthy in Serious again.

Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic

If a person has a certain last name or a certain color, then you will wonder where they're from. I seriously doubt you would think so otherwiseHow thick are you, fucking tosser?

He was pretty much out campaigning all day and was pretty damn exhausted. He did correct himself mind you.And no, I wouldn't. Especially if I was a politician being televised by C-SPAN or some other news network where people were watching. If I couldn't make the connection beforehand, I would promptly apologize and ask if they were representing America or India.
Kinder, Desticle - cut the arguing >.>

Look guys, you're allowed to be a republican and laugh at a harmless gaffe made by a republican politician. Not sure why this turned defensively to Obama.

They're perverting teachings to make it all about violence against the damn dirty Infidels, when they're supposed to befriend the other religions and help defend them. Honestly it's like the Bible: You can only cherry-pick what you want to follow, because if you tried to follow the whole Scripture your life would be a cluttered fucking mess.As far as "insulting them goes", the apology would be somewhere along the lines of, "I'm sorry I was not briefed on who I would be meeting with today and ask what government you are representing" or something rather (I don't have to deal with Politics 24/7, so that's the best I got lol). I wouldn't continue assuming they're Indian and look like a fucking incompetent dork on TV. Sure I would still get some flak from the overzealous media, but I would rather accept humility and be truthful than babble on with assumptions.

They may not follow the path others want them to and may commit horrible acts, but they're still Islamic and denying it by establishing certain criteria is effective the concept of no true scotsman And so the same can't go for the guy? The video doesn't show him making an apology but that doesn't mean he said one. You and him would be in the same boat of having misinformation and if his aid was more clear, he wouldn't have given a response.
