Dumb@ss...
Because he's lying?
Yeah, definitely a clock (as others have pointed out, if the school really thought it was a bomb, they would have evacuated/called the bomb squad/etc.). This is a case where this kid and his family are right, but for 100% the wrong reason. The school absolutely overreacted here, but they didn’t overreact because the kid is a muslim. They overreacted because they are public school officials, and overreacting is what they do best.
When people run out of facts, they resort to insults.
Your statement was disingenuous.
“Sarah Palin on Friday criticized Obama for inviting a 14-year-old Muslim teenager to the White House after his teachers accused him of building a bomb that was merely a homemade clock and who had him wrongly arrested.”
Kid makes a clock look like a bomb, he gets to personally visit with Obama.
A kid turns a pop tart into a gun and he is suspended for a week.

Perhaps, but it was true.
Anwar Awlaki, now believed to be an Al Qaeda recruiter hiding in Yemen, is connected to at least two recent suspected terrorism cases – the Fort Hood attack and the attempted Christmas Day jet bombing.
The American Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, considered by some to be one of the most wanted terrorists behind Usama bin Laden, was educated in the United States with taxpayers money, an ongoing Fox News investigation has found.
Awlaki, now believed to be recruiting for Al Qaeda from hiding in Yemen, is connected to at least two recent suspected terrorism cases – the Fort Hood attack and the attempted Christmas Day jet bombing.
A former diplomatic security agent who was tasked with investigating Awlaki immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks told Fox News that the Yemeni-American national lied on his visa application to attend Colorado State University, where he studied engineering. Rather than tell U.S. immigration officials that he was born in Las Cruces, N.M., in 1971, Awlaki stated that the was foreign born, the security agent, Ray Fournier, said.
Awlaki received $20,000 in scholarship money from a U.S. government program for his schooling in Fort Collins, Colo. When asked if Awlaki was eligible, Fournier said, “No, he is absolutely forbidden to have it.” "That's the taxpayers' money," Fournier added, saying Awlaki knew that lying about his birthplace would help him get the scholarship money.
A spokesperson at Colorado State University confirmed that Awlaki listed himself as an international student during his years there. The school would not comment on his financial records citing privacy issues. (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I have a $4 plastic watch sitting on my bathroom counter. Its the size of a wristwatch and it tells time and functions as an alarm.
That was intended to bait the authorities. He and his family can say otherwise, but I'm not compelled to honor foolish notions...whether offered by him, or you.
Again...if that's an watch, then a steam roller is used to iron hankies.
Haha. You’re a funny guy.
I agree it’s a timer. Don’t know why everyone is say CLOCK.
Ordinaty kid, bite a pop tart into the shape of a gun, get expelled. Muslim, bring a fake bomb to school, Obama invites you to the White House. Science my ass.
There are 0 posts on this at Daily Mail. I submitted a post, then refreshed the page. While the page was reloading, it showed there are 84 posts. Then suddenly it switched back to 0.
I think public opinion doesn’t agree with DM, so they scrubbed the posts.
Or what the definition of "is" is.
I believe this to be a form of ‘false flag’ operation where you spoof the authorities with a ‘look alike’ device that is innocent AFTER EXAMINATION! So the next time something similar is seen, the observer remembers the flap and passes over the device. Do it several times and maybe BOOM?
Remember the Dept. of Homeland Security has pushed the meme of “See Something, Say Something” and this is EXACTLY what the school did! So now the kid is lionized by those who want to curry favor with the ‘oppressed’ immigrant minority.
I’m waiting for Obama to once again state that the police were behaving foolishly. I know that is what he is thinking!
