If People Are Terrified . . . .
Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 11:47 AM by no_hypocrisy
A crazy old bastard stormed into the Holocaust Museum and killed a security guard. He killed a man with a son and family. He killed an American citizen in an act of lawlessness supported on his website, supported by a loosely connected band of like-thinking people.

If he was a Muslim, Bill O' Reilly would call this an act of terrorism. But the violent miscreant is a white Christian, so this deed barely made a dent in Mr. No Spin's program. He let Dennis Miller yak about Katie Couric and Sarah Palin, but not a word about an octegenarian Jew hater (no, not Mel Gibson's dad). Now, if this human waste was an Arab, it would have been half of the Factor's hour, and O' Reilly would have screamed at whatever liberal was dumb enough to take crap off of O' Reilly, screaming which is always accompanied by a reminder of his ratings, because arrogance without conceit is a like a day without sunshine.

1. "the violent miscreant is a white Christian, so this deed barely made a dent"
Same with Dr. Tiller's murderer - an act of terrorism. BUT - Roeder wasn't a Muslim, so it goes unmentioned. Pretty stinky, that.

5. No. The fact that he was a domestic terrorist affiliated with groups who advocate violence
went unmentioned. Not the murder. But they did paint him as a "lone nut" - and he clearly is NOT.
