Yes, the same lady who thinks your kids aren’t yours, and should be fully handed over to The State
(Mediaite) Making the point that the Tsarnaev brothers’ Muslim faith at the moment bears little relevance to the investigation into the brothers’ decision to attack the Boston Marathon last week, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry observed that Tsarnaev’s faith is about as relevant to the investigation right now as are Ben Affleck movies about violent events in Boston. Her panel guests agreed and added that Americans have to “otherize†violent actors in order to absolve themselves from responsibility for or connection to their violence.
But Progressives were extremely hot to trot to paint all Conservatives with a broad brush when the bombings first happened, just like they’ve done time and time again, blaming the whole for the actions of a few or one (even when we eventually learn that the perpetrator had little to nothing to do with Conservatism, and often more to do with Left side politics). Progressives mostly seem incapable of realizing that there is a set who practice Islam that are radicalized, that are violent, that want to destroy Western culture, especially Israel, Britain, and The United States. That intentionally target civilians. They want to spread the hard-core version of Islam. This is not “Islamophobia”, it’s a plain truth. Had the two brothers been, say, Romney voters or members of the NRA or the TEA Party, we would be hearing non-stop from people like Harris-Perry about how evil Conservatives as a whole are. Perhaps we could term this “Conservaphobia”.
Now, do we know what motivated the two? Not fully. But we can certainly take some educated guesses based on the material available, which points at the two being radicalized Muslims, which those who discuss this issue refer to as “Islamists”, in order to separate them from those Muslims who aren’t raging nutjobs practicing the hard-core version. Right now there have been over 20,700 deadly terrorist attacks by these Islamists since 9/11/2001.
The Powerline guys wonder why evil makes liberals stupid, and end with
When asserting the obvious is not a respectable option, asserting gibberish becomes the option of choice for people of ordinary intellect who wish to opine. And these days, the market for such gibberish is booming.
A big question revolves around whether liberals are stupid or become stupid. Are they espousing these views because they are dogmatic idiots or because they intentionally act stupid? We saw, in the immediate aftermath, liberals talking about last Monday being tax day and Patriot’s Day, trying to make connections to people on the political Right in a manner to blame all on the Right. When it became clear that they were Muslims, and apparently the Islamist version, that there were links to other jihadis, and all the other information, liberals started forming ways to avoid linking them to Islam, and more specifically Islamists.
Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.
Up until we knew for sure the bombers were Muslim, it was AWFULLY RELEVANT to the Left that the Liberals NOT be Muslims AND that they be white, TEA Party, Right wing, or Christian.
So which is it? relevant or not relevant?
And make no mistake, MHP is a a diehard Leftist nut, but she keeps this up to whore more airtime and attention both for herself and MSNBC. The best thing you can do to stop her is to cancel your cable TV immediately. I did – found as soon as I didn’t have it that I never needed it. And I save a fortune every year in the cable bill I DON’T pay.
I often wonder if they actually believe the kind of tripe they push, or if they simply make it up and say anything in order to push their far left doctrine. I find it hard to believe that people could be that stupid as MHP showed.
Evil doesn’t see evil. They see brotherhood. The left only sees evil as it occurs on the political right. Any action undertaken by the left, non-christian, non-moral, are by logical extention – not evil.
Therefore, since Christianity is evil, that which Christians are fighting must be not-evil. Islam = not-evil.
Thus, the bomber’s religion is irrelevant since Islam is peaceful and good. As can be seen perfectly by the brother’s actions. (duh)
It’s important to remember that the Liberals have taken the approach that if it’s against America in ANY way, it’s a good idea and thus should be defended by any convoluted argument they can come up with.
You can also include that style of Liberal defense for anything against God, guns, American oil, Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, family structure, America, the military, illegal immigration, Capitalism, Democracy, spending control, or most of all, the unborn – who they really hate.
And when one Liberal cause attacks another Liberal cause, the Left choose to either ignore it or explain it away in the most crazy, twisted way possible. Try questioning why a Muslim terrorist would blow up a bomb in front of the Kennedy library. Watch the spinning.
Finally, I believe it’s important to smack these people down hard when they come up with this kind of crap in debates. Using kid gloves with the Left is why we now have so many people who actually believe Bush and Cheney ordered planes flown into the World Trade Center.
