Young Egyptian-Americans on Geraldo Show Pro-Democracy Means Pro-Muslim Brotherhood
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | Feb.14, 2011 | Paul Cooper

The mainstream media has consistently portrayed the Egyptian revolution as purely pro-democracy with no connections to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The repeated message has been that the youth of Egypt have risen up for secular freedoms that are not connected to religious radicalism. And no Americans or Israelis should fear the future unknown government of Egypt. Sadly, our government has pushed the same message. But I wonder how many of them have actually spoken to these young Egyptians. Geraldo did, and the result was unnerving.

It’s safe to say that Geraldo Rivera is one of the more left-leaning folks on Fox News. People on the opposite side of say Hannity or Beck are far more likely to open up to Geraldo. This past Saturday night on Geraldo at Large, Rivera did a live interview with a small group of what he called “Egyptian-American” college students, and they opened up more than they meant to. Rivera asked them about their feelings on the Muslim Brotherhood. Two young Muslim women answered. Both attempted to veil their support for the radical organization, but the truth slipped out.

The media seems to have conveniently forgotten the 10s of thousands of prison inmates unleashed on the world in Tunisia and Egypt.

Whoraldo is pro-illegal alien and pro Islamic terrorist. Remember him giving away military strategy in Afganistan? What a commie tool.

Egyptians do not like the US. They also want a post-islamic state. Everything bad that happens they blame on the Mossad. They are tired of being ripped off by Pharaoh Mubarack. I lived there 3 years 97-00. The army will put in a new strongman. Everything will be ok.

A democracy can vote in a totalitarian government. It can vote in an unfit leader or a leader who does not work for the best interests of the nation. This is why the Middle East is one big crap shoot with the loser millions of people and the security of the West.

The mantra is that democracy has come to the Middle East like the Second Coming of Christ. What is being swept under the rug is the fact that democracy is being used as a smoke screen for the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood. This democratic movement is as democratic as the Palestinian Freedom Flotilla was about peace.

“A democracy can vote in a totalitarian government. It can vote in an unfit leader”

A republic can also do. Proven beyond reasonable doubt by the acquisition of beloved 0.

Exactly right. The “democracy” that Egyptians will get will be: one man, one vote, once. It will then be replaced by a theocratic dictatorship like Iran's. Jump from the frying pan into the fire fools.

You will never prevent humans from committing mass stupidity. Americans elected the Kenyan, Marxist, Muslim Barry Hussein Odumbo to prove it to the Egyptians.

Exactly! Thank God we have our Constitution in place so that we can make a correction in 2012.

At least we have our Constitution to insure we can make corrections to our mistakes. The Zer0 presidency comes to mind. The Egyptians have not even got that far and, if they did not have the military, Egypt would have mob rule and hell on Earth. Most of the demonstrators thought that everything would fall in place once Mubarak was out. The Muslim Brother counted on that naive thinking, knowing that they would have the upper hand through organization to win this summer’s elections.

I watched the segment. They all had rushed to Egypt to be part of the “Revolution”. After listening to them, I thought put your money where your mouth is and STAY there! Nope, instead they run back to the safety of the USA!
