CNN: Removing Our “Chosen Ignorance” About Suicide Bombers, from the ‘missing the point’ department:

Utterly reeking with pomposity and self-importance, CNN’s Baghdad bureau chief gives us a look into the mindset of the mainstream media, in which the suicide bomber’s story is just as important as anyone else’s: Perry: A Baghdad bomb site everyone should see.

Watch Frank Zappa and ‘the slime from the video…’- its definitely not ‘out of context’…

*
Back in the bureau, the tape is edited into video so CNN anchor Kyra Phillips can start going live on the story. Her job is to simply tell the story of what happened to the world, so we can remove what I call “chosen ignorance.”

Everyone in the world should know what that room looked like. Once they see it, no one can ignore the reality of this situation. Kyra starts her live shots, showing the small snippets of video from the scene, and holding up a small ball bearing from the suicide bomber’s vest. The live shots go on for hours — as they should. Her voice is the voice for those who can no longer speak. …

All over the world, members of the news media choose to stand in horrible rooms or dangerous regions to act as megaphones. We tell the story of people who cannot tell their own. It’s not all refugee camps and starving kids. Sometimes, it’s a man who kills himself in order to kill others — and his story is as important as any other story we can ever tell.

* Yes. One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Especially when the Islamonazi’s tell us ‘Freedom go to Hell’- in the perverted world of CNN, victims of Islamic terror and the terrorists are ‘equally important’…

The result of politically correct indoctrination and moral equivalence

Reality: Left is the victim of a home-made bomb filled with nuts and bolts.

On the right you have the leftovers of a true believer who is now lining up for the 72 virgins. Yes, in death we’re all the same…

President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, the communist Fausto Bertinotti, has had removed a painting showing a scene from the Battle of Lepanto from the hall in which he receives visitors to this lower house of parliament.

Confronted with the matter, Bertinotti says it is a gesture of peace and dialogue, the painting’s title being “Naval battle between Christians and barbarians”, but an anonymous insider reveals it was done to avoid offending Muslims. 

The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7, 1571. The Holy League, comprised of the Papal States, the Republic of Venice, Spain, Genoa, and others, defeated the Ottoman Turks in a decisive sea battle that significantly diminished the jihadists’ chances to subdue all of Europe. Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote (before Pierre Menard wrote it, that is), lost a hand in the battle, earning him the sobriquet el manco de Lepanto.

Asshole of the year:

A poster from the Piers Akerman blog sent this in:

Left wing: “If we think the process is unfair then he must be released regardless of his guilt and there’s nothing we can do about it”

Right wing: “Who cares about the stupid process. He’s a traitor and deserves everything he gets”

Left wing: “If we don’t free him then we’re just as bad as them.”

Right wing: “Do you have any idea what he and his buddies were doing?”

Left wing: “That’s not my problem.”

Right wing: “Do you care about what he has done?”

Left wing: “That’s not important. Human rights are all important regardless of who it is and even if they are fighting to destroy those rights for you and me.”

Right wing: “You’re retarded. I hope they kill you first.”

I don’t understand why it is so important to extend rights to people who’s only goal is take those rights way from others? Surely we as a nation can apply the highest standards of rights to those who do not choose to commit Treason against their own people? If you do then you’re on your own.

Tim Blair’s take: 

A Lady of distinction, no doubt. And a judge who sees the light, finally:

MADRID – The widow of a man killed in the Madrid bombings attended the trial of Islamic radicals with a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb on her T-shirt.

The judge in charge of trial on Monday asked security guards to check the woman’s T-shirt and ordered the cameras to halt live transmissions. Initially, he thought the woman could been a relative of one of the 29 accused and thought she might have put some kind of message on her T-shirt.

The T-shirt was a copy of the cartoons showing Mohammed on top of a bomb which were first printed by a Danish magazine and which caused disturbances in Muslim countries around the world.

* ‘Disturbances’ that killed hundreds of people, caused billions in damages and saw many western embassies firebombed. You can always rely on your MSM to give you a clear picture…

*
The judge decided the woman was free to wear what she liked and could come back to the court if she wished.

The woman, who was not identified, is a member of the Association of those Affected by Terrorism.

* No doubt Cairns Post reporter Gavin King would have seen to it that her details were printed, where she lives and where she works, so that the ‘RoP’ could pay her a visit…

Because its a ‘Religion of Peace’ she has to live in hiding and under 24 hour protection. And the MSM bullshits us with the same drivel as usual:

‘Hirsi Ali is also coming up against opposition because of her uncompromising criticism of Islam.’

Right. Perhaps we should all   be more ‘compromising’ -  and everything will be just fine, right?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who left the Netherlands to escape the threats from Islamic misogynists that forced her into isolation, is now being threatened by representatives of the Religion of Peace™ in the United States as well: Hirsi Ali under threat in US.

AMSTERDAM – Former MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now in danger in the US as well. Her security has been stepped up for the past three weeks. Because of concrete threats, she is now receiving the same level of protection as she previously needed in the Netherlands, the Volkskrant reports. …

Hirsi Ali’s protection is carried out by American security personnel commissioned by the Dutch Justice department. Hirsi Ali works at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington DC, a think-tank that has close ties with the Republican party.

As in the Netherlands, the threats against her come from Muslim extremists. They are in connection with the lectures and media appearances Hirsi Ali has been making since the publication of the American version of her autobiography, “The Infidel,” in January.
