Like many who work at home, I’ve had the TV on
almost non-stop this morning monitoring the manhunt for the Boston Marathon
Bomber(s). But there are two words
I cannot recall hearing all morning – Muslim and Islam.
Funny, early on some in the noos media could
not restrain themselves from speculating (once again) that “right-wing”
“extremists” were behind the bombing.
But now that is it highly likely that the bombers were Muslim
terrorists, the quiet is deafening.
And in case you think I’m jumping to
conclusions, read this from the Independent, hardly an extremist
publication. It is (or should be)
well known Chechnya and Chechens are a hot bed of Muslim terrorists. Russia sure does know that all too
well. (And, yes, there are also
many good Chechens as well like the uncle who decried the bombing.)
Perhaps the media is being careful not to jump
the gun, and guess I could be charitable and give them the benefit of the doubt
on that. But some sure were eager
to jump the gun and finger “right-wing” “extremists”. And the Chechen Muslim connection certainly is more relevant
than one of the suspects being a star on his school wrestling team.
Noos media, your double standards are showing .
. . again.

I
enjoy how quick the left is to assert that no judgments can be made, about
virtually anything at all, when just yesterday they were quite prepared to make
some Big Judgments about the rightwing bombers who were probably celebrating
Hitler's birthday, as most people on the right do (per NPR "news").
But I heard that NBC actually managed to
mention “Muslim” and “Islam”.

I just about fainted when I saw that tweet.
But the biggest laugh I’ve had this morning
came from reading this one:
Give yourself up! You can teach at Columbia!
