Saturday Briefs

Posted by Gregory of Yardale at November 7, 2009 5:36 AM

I don't usually do this, but there's some choice stuff out there today. I'll make this quick, it's a beautiful morning, there's a hiking trail calling my name.

Item Number One: Chairman Zero's Press Secretary Robert "Family Guy" Gibbs whines that, unlike Obama, Bush never had to put up with people comparing him to Hitler. Oh, Really? Next, he'll be saying PBO is the first president to be accused of having an Enemies List.

Item Number Two
: Forget about the 13 soldiers murdered by the jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan, Geraldo Rivera says the real victims are American Muslims. His view is common among his fellow Obama-fluffers in the MSM, who don't really feel for the families of the dead and wounded, they're too busy fretting that the shooter wasn't named Smith, because a white male shooter would be perfectly acceptable to demonize. This comes from the same media who had no problem smearing all pro-lifers after that abortionist got capped.

The Muslims have the most out of whack ratio of "Oppression bitched about" to "Oppression actually suffered" of any group except maybe Teh Gheys. A guy murders a dozen people while screaming, "Allahu Akbar," and we're supposed to pretend his religion was not a factor.


Item Number Three
: Thanks to new drilling techniques, Global reserves of exploitable natural gas have tripled in just the last four years. Funny, I thought moonbats like Joe Biden were telling us "Drill, Baby, Drill" wasn't even part of the answer.

Another moonbat gets drilled

God do I HATE "El Mustachio" the Spitter!

Nearly wet myself after reading Family Guy's spin.

Oh, life's parallels: Saddam had his Baghdad Bob; B. Hussein has his Washington Bob.

Nimrod Geraldo has stppped it up in the loonbat mode and is proof positive that Fox News is Fair and Balanced. He and Shep Smith have more than compensated for the departure of Colmes.

On a related tangent: Fox contributor Kirsten Powers fits both FNC requirements: she's a Dem/Lib (though a fairly sensible one - hence F&B) and MAN is she a HOTTIE (unusual for lib commentators, 'cept for Fox).

Robert "Family Guy" Gibbs.

Doesn't he also play the "and I'm a PC" guy in Mac commercials?

Geraldo Riverrat maybe he needs to get hit in the puss with a park bench

Posted by: SPURWING PLOVER at November 7, 2009 8:37 AM


Yes, Islam has NOTHING to do with the shooting.

Had a Caucasian with the same 'stress issues' started a shooting rampage by shouting 'White Power' what would the media conclude? Would "THE ONE" ask anyone to not jump to conclusions?

Posted by: Viking04 at November 7, 2009 8:52 AM


Geraldo the metrosexual liberal jerk, needs to get a job at CNN.
I turn the channel whenever he comes on.

Ditto "G", followed by an e-mail to FNC telling them. don't forget Bob Beckel, he's been lying so long he actually thinks he's telling the truth now.

Everytime I hear Jerry open his mouth I keep remembering this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQOg2HaB1Xc

I think it is the 27 second mark that Jerry Rivera got his nose busted and at the 1 min 5 second mark you can see him tending to his wound.

Needless to say, I don't ever remember him getting his mouth busted shut which is something that unfortunately never happened to him. I guess poor aim with a chair.

Posted by: Moonbat Skullcracker at November 7, 2009 9:18 AM


So, I heard the Orlando shooter burst in and proclaimed "Jesus is Great!" before he started firing.

Just kidding.

He probably said "Dance, gringo, dance!"

But Jerry Rivers will surely go to his defense because he is, after all, an oppressed Hispanic.

There's so much to comment on in Item #2, I'll take it step by step.

a) Nobody is spreading a message to "forget" the 13 soldiers who died or the 30 others who were wounded. That kind of smear is pure ignorance.

b) Does choosing to discuss the implications of this shooting on the Muslim community and loyal Muslim soldiers provide proof that the MSM "don't really feel for the families"? Of course not.

c) If the shooter had been a white male named Smith, the entire Muslim theme would be eliminated. Similarly, concerns about a backlash, violent or otherwise, against Muslims, would not exist. Similarly, speculating about Muslim threats, infiltration etc. based on this attack would not exist.

d) "...a white male shooter would be perfectly acceptable to demonize. " Huh?? Demonize who and what exactly? All white men named Smith are bad?

e) "This comes from the same media who had no problem smearing all pro-lifers after that abortionist got capped."

Are Hasan and Roeder lone nuts or not?

"Capped"? Did Hasan "cap" 13 soldiers?

f) "Oppression bitched about" to "Oppression actually suffered".

The far right wins that ratio contest hands down. See Moonbattery for all the proof you need.

g) "A guy murders a dozen people while screaming, "Allahu Akbar," and we're supposed to pretend his religion was not a factor."

"This phrase is recited by Muslims in numerous different situations. For example, when they are happy or wish to express approval, when they want to praise a speaker, during battles, and even times of extreme stress or euphoria."

Nobody is denying that Hasan is a practicing Muslim. Did HIS religious beliefs lead in any way to his rampage? That remains to be seen.

Show me one example of anyone in the MSM fretting that pro-lifers were going to be unfairly demonized after Tiller was shot.

Posted by: Anonymous at November 7, 2009 11:25 AM


Show me one example of anyone in the U.S. Muslim community speaking out in support of what Hasan did.

@Lao:

a) Nobody is spreading a message to "forget" the 13 soldiers who died or the 30 others who were wounded. That kind of smear is pure ignorance.

In the English language, the use of the word "forget" as the start of a sentence contrasting two events is a rhetorical device used, sometimes sarcastically, to show emphasis (or what should be emphasis) of one over the other. Gregory didn't imply that anyone suggested forgetting about Ft. Hood. That sentence emphasizes Geraldo's moonbat response.


b) Does choosing to discuss the implications of this shooting on the Muslim community and loyal Muslim soldiers provide proof that the MSM "don't really feel for the families"? Of course not.

The MSM outlets issued generic, canned condolences then proceeded straight into liberal talking points. They did not treat this topic with respect, nor did they slow down the PC agenda long enough to at least recognize profiles in courage.

c) If the shooter had been a white male named Smith, the entire Muslim theme would be eliminated. Similarly, concerns about a backlash, violent or otherwise, against Muslims, would not exist. Similarly, speculating about Muslim threats, infiltration etc. based on this attack would not exist.

No, it wouldn't. Are you actually that naive as to believe that all Muslims take Muslim names, or in another scenario, that all jihadists with Muslim names would not adopt Western names and habits to blend in until their attack?

The MSM made an issue out of the name because that is SOP for their agenda of identity politics. The right isn't making an issue of his name. The right is making an issue of the fact that he murdered 13 people while engaged in violent jihad, and that the Army's own bureaucracy and subservience to the PC agenda prevented them from stopping this.

d) "...a white male shooter would be perfectly acceptable to demonize. " Huh?? Demonize who and what exactly? All white men named Smith are bad?

The shooters of Tiller and the Holocaust museum were instantly demonized, as they should have been. The MSM has been approaching this issue with an undue level of sensitivity. We should not have a double standard between murderous whites and murderous jihadists.


The far right wins that ratio contest hands down. See Moonbattery for all the proof you need.

Jesse Jackson is nowhere on your radar as far as cries of victimization are concerned. That is telling.


"This phrase is recited by Muslims in numerous different situations. For example, when they are happy or wish to express approval, when they want to praise a speaker, during battles, and even times of extreme stress or euphoria." Nobody is denying that Hasan is a practicing Muslim. Did HIS religious beliefs lead in any way to his rampage? That remains to be seen.

So do normal, peace-loving Muslims also make Internet posts praising suicide attacks? Do they also engage in anti-American rants to friends, family, and fellow soldiers?

Allau Ackbar doesn't prove this was jihad, but it does prove that religion was on his mind when he pulled the trigger.

When you factor in his deployment, his anti-American statements, and his praise of jihad on the Internet, only a fool can believe this wasn't religiously motivated.

The 13 victims of this attack were murdered in the name of Islam. The MSM is too cowardly to admit that.

Posted by: Anonymous Countermoonbat at November 7, 2009 11:49 AM


We had an article in the local rag about the diaperheads hereabouts (the ones who built a fortress over in Plainfield) whining about this attack being connected with the religion of "peace", how guys like this ruin it for them. Yeah, guys like this serve to wake us up to the threat and make it harder for these goatfuckers to take over. That's not their plan? Bravo sierra, they keep saying it's their plan. The way they're acting in Eurabia I tend to think they mean it.

Posted by: Mr Evilwrench at November 7, 2009 11:53 AM


Show me one example of anyone in the U.S. Muslim community speaking out in support of what Hasan did.

Show me one example of anyone in the Democrat leadership speaking out in support of what Alan Grayson says.

Or, for the moonbats, show me one example of anyone in the Republican leadership speaking out in support of Joe Wilson's interruption.

Guess what? Silence is just politics as usual. Just because organizations remain silent in public on controversial issues doesn't mean they aren't supporting, rooting for, or encouraging those actions in private.

Nobody in the US that isn't actively engaged in violent jihad is going to speak in support of this rampage, but there are many Muslims who feel Hassan was right to do what he did, or this is God's justice against the wars.

Funny, that is the exact same position taken by liberals after the Tiller shooting. Although no mainstream pro-life organization came out in support of the shooting, the liberal elite accused them all of silently rooting for Roeder, and being pleased at Tiller having been dispatched.

That's not the issue, numb-nuts. The issue is disparate treatment by the media.

Scrolling back through Moonbattery threads we find "How The Center-Left Gins Up Paranoia" Yardale talks about: "The way the progressive left uses isolated incidents of violence to indict and discredit the right." Irony alert.

Re your post at 11:49:

a) Is Geraldo's "moonbat response" defined as saying that all U.S. Muslims are not responsible for the actions of Hasan?

b) MSM sources I saw talked about the tragedy and the casualties. Current media highlights the courage of the woman police officer who shot Hasan and focuses on the stories of those who were killed.

c) Nonsense. The right, including Moonbattery, has been all over the Muslim connection. Moonbattery's first post on the subject came from Yardale with the title: Name Of The Fort Hood Shooter. Posts to that thread immediately began condemning Muslims in general and the continuing theme that the MSM was ignoring that the killer was Muslim. A claim that is false.

Speculating about a Muslim under cover guy named Smith is just silly.

d) You are right, Jesse Jackson is nowhere on my radar and he doesn't particularly concern me. Jesse Jackson is not currently leading thousands of his followers to Washington to complain about his grievances.

Yardale was talking about a white male shooter making the attack instead of Hasan.

Has it been demonstrated that Hasan had any connection to other "murderous jihadists"? If so, I imagine those particular people will come under intense scrutiny, and so they should.

I already said: "Did HIS religious beliefs lead in any way to his rampage?"

You say: "The 13 victims of this attack were murdered in the name of Islam."

It was possibly just one man's interpretation of Islam. That remains to be seen.

I note that mainstream Muslim organizations within the U.S. have condemned his attack.


Posted by: Lao at November 7, 2009 12:51 PM


Right here, asshole.

Muslim radicals call Hasan
'Officer and a Gentleman'

"We do NOT denounce this officer's actions, we do however apologize for the following acts committed by our country," the U.S.-based website's supporters said. They listed: "Bay of Tonkin, The East Timor Massacre by USA Supported Suharto, 1902 Samar Massacre in the Philippines by the USMC, 1,000,000 Dead Iraqis, Afghani & Pakistanis Killed by the USA, Starvation of Africa & Rape of it's (sic) Resources by the USA, Support of the Brutal 'Israeli' Occupation Entity, Etc. Etc."

"Every day is Fort Hood for the world community due to USA policies and their tyrant totalitarian puppet regimes," the activists proclaimed. "Rest assure (sic) the slain terrorists at Fort Hood are in the eternal hellfire and it is not to (sic) late for YOU to change your policies," they said.

Little Reminder Of How MSNBC Wasted No Time Jumping To Conclusions On The George Tiller + Holocaust Museum Killings

Olbermann: "Finally tonight...in the very serious and very unsettling part the Foxnews Channel played in the assassination of doctor George Tiller" (June 2)

Posted by: SK at November 7, 2009 1:36 PM


I know you don't read too carefully SK.

I said: "Has it been demonstrated that Hasan had any connection to other "murderous jihadists"? If so, I imagine those particular people will come under intense scrutiny, and so they should."

Posted by: Lao at November 7, 2009 1:53 PM


Olbermann commented on June 2.

Tiller was assassinated on May 31.

Hasan killings happened the afternoon of Nov. 5

Moonbattery started jumping to political conclusions at 3:45 on Nov. 5.

Posted by: Lao at November 7, 2009 2:02 PM


1.) MB is not a nationwide news station influencing the thoughts and opinions of millions of Americans.
2.) Olbermann's statements were unfounded and they waited a whole 2 days before making them? Please...
3.) There were eyewitnesses who made statements as to the exclamations made by Hassan before the shootings at Ft. Hood.
4.) No, what your lying ass said was: Show me one example of anyone in the U.S. Muslim community speaking out in support of what Hasan did. I provided it and you dodge it with obfuscation.

Posted by: SK at November 7, 2009 2:18 PM


Oh and while you're at, stick this in your bong and smoke it.

Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists

Unfounded connections to radical Islam - my ass.

While you're at it, kiss it, you slowly sleaze bag.

Posted by: SK at November 7, 2009 2:21 PM


Sorry. That was supposed to say: While you're at it, kiss it, you slowly rotting sleaze bag.

Posted by: SK at November 7, 2009 2:30 PM


LOL! I'm surprised you messed up your spewing rant, because you practice doing it constantly.

I'm going to take Yardale's advice and enjoy a nice day outdoors.

Posted by: Lao at November 7, 2009 2:35 PM


Mao, er, Lao, make it easy for you, revolutionmuslim.com . He's living in New York, and his web site seems to endorse what Hasan did. Third item down.

This was you at 11:40am, wasn't it?
Show me one example of anyone in the U.S. Muslim community speaking out in support of what Hasan did.
