If Palin, Beck, etc are concerned that they are getting blamed for the behavior of an extremist,
perhaps they should ask a Muslim how to deal with that.





Saw that from a tweet today. Gonna use that over, and over, and over. You should too.

1. Can you even begin to imagine the shrill ranting Beck and the barracuda would have been carrying on
Edited on Tue Jan-11-11 01:16 PM by BrklynLiberal
with if the shooter had been of the Muslim faith????????????

They would have been yelling "TERRORISM! TERRORISM! " all over the broadcast waves.

3. That's exactly what the DID do when it happened
The Ford Hood shooter was also a lone nut

He too, was a terrorist

But according to Palin and Beck you have to be brown to be a terrorist

7. Yup, exactly. And the fact that they cannot or will not acknowledge that IS the problem.

5. Gets to the core conceit. Bad acts by others proves the group evil. Bad acts by "us" = "lone nuts."

15. They should just blame Gifford's opponent, Jesse Jelly.
He was a gun posing fool, plus he's Jared's homie.

22. This morning, I heard Laura Ingraham screeching about how Liberals let Muslims
get away with threatening Americans all the time. And why aren't we blaming Muslim hate speech for terrorism etc.

Then I started to get a migraine from her voice and had to turn off the radio.

23. It is always deflection, never acceptance of reality.
