“Yes, they are! They are, in fact, coming after us!” Sexton shot back. “When I saw us, I’m referring to America, to Europe, and the West, and all peaceful Muslims, and everyone around the world who doesn’t believe that strapping a suicide vest — because you’re disaffected, because you have some belief that somehow this will take you to a place of paradise and virgins, whatever the case may be.”
He continued, “Everybody who isn’t on that team, is on my team. This notion you have in your head that when I say ‘us’ I’m referring to — what? Republican Americans?”
Concluding his comments, Sexton lamented the “knee-jerk reaction” he often sees among liberals who, in the days after a terror attack, spend their time going after the “bad rhetoric” of their conservative counterparts “who want to speak openly and honestly about terrorism.”
“We’re just trying to empower the moderates from within Muslim society, we’re trying to empower our allies in the countries that we do work with in the Muslim world and outside the Muslim world to stop people from getting mowed down at a celebration of a national holiday — that’s it.”
Alas, Bloom remained steadfast in her disapproval of Sexton choice of words.

Thank you both for those links and transcript! Yep, that’s what I saw on the Clintoon News Network last night. I wish Fox News would hire Buck away from CNN.
