CNN Expert: Terror Threat ‘Modest . . . I Don’t Worry About Terrorism’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/22/2016 7:04:22 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Don’t look for Phil Mudd to be joining the Trump anti-terrorism team anytime soon . . . Mudd, a CNN counterterrorism analyst, declared today that the threat of terrorism is “modest.” When it comes to young people, Mudd said that he worries about gangs and drugs: “I don’t worry about terrorism.”

Mudd also argued that tight restrictions on Muslim immigration would be giving ISIS want it wants by setting ISIS up as the counterbalance to the West and the defender of Islam. Mudd apparently believes that allowing a freer flow of Muslim refugees into the United States, as Hillary wanted, would appease ISIS rather than giving it the opening to carry out more attacks. ISIS is not interested in good relations. It wants only to destroy the West and establish its caliphate. People like Mudd, whom CNN chooses as its “expert,” apparently don’t understand that.

Figures CNN would pick a guy like this as its terrorism expert.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

“I Don’t Worry About Terrorism...”,

“because it’s not likely to affect me personally, at least not right away, and I don’t really give a darn about its victims.”

“Also, this expert gig is lucrative and easy. I just have to mouth off Leftist talking points with an air of gravitas.”

The guy is obviously incompetant and unqualified.

Ergo, he is a perfect fit for CNN, and would have been an ideal cabinet member the the Hillabitch, had she successfuly lied herself to the presidency.

Modest (but growing geometrically)

This is Philip Mudd:

Mr. Mudd graduated cum laude from Villanova University with a B.A. in English Literature (1983), and he earned an M.A. in English Literature from the University of Virginia (1984). He speaks French.

A veritable scientific 'expert' who's spent his whole effing government career doing things he was never qualified to do.

If he’s an expert, I am a genius.

He sounds like another Common Core Math terror expert who can’t put 2 and 2 together. He is probably still looking for motives behind previous terror attacks.

Same ole apologist/Lib talkingpoints.

I wonder whether he would suggest a stapler or a pair of scissors as the ultimate weapon of choice? Because it is not a question of ‘If there is another terrorist attack’ but ‘When’.

Well, with an educational background in English literature, he would certainly be the first guy I’d ask about the threat of Islamic terrorism.

I’ve never understood certain things.

And one of those is how liberals think that banning or restricting Muslim travel or immigration to this country, somehow will stop terrorism.

Muslims started this war against the west and the civilized world. They started this war, but we are cautioned against actions which would enflame the situation, and make Muslim terrorists more likely to kill us.

But they want to kill us anyway. If they could they would destroy us tomorrow in the name of Allah.

If they already want to destroy us, why the liberal preoccupation with actions which will enrage Muslims?? They are already enraged and ready to slit your throat.

But I never understand liberal reasoning, so obviously I’m missing a major point, per liberal theology. I’m probably also Islamophobic, which is liberal theology is the worst opinion you can have.

Yeah, how's that working in Europe.

President Mudd’s reassuring analysis has made me feel much better.

I typed too fast. I meant to say, how liberals think that banning or restricting Muslims will create more terrorists and prompt more terrorism against us.

I once made a comment about Muslim terrorism to my Leftist brother. He said’ I don’t worry about it, it won’t ever touch me’ (so much for the compassion of Leftists!) And I said ‘I bet that’s what the people in San Bernardino thought, too’. He said ‘San Bernardo?’. He had heard the FBI was trying to unlock an IPhone, but didn’t hear about the attack last Christmas. But then he only watches Obama’s PravdaMedia. Terrorism has the reach to affect ANYONE/EVERYONE. Period.

I don't think he got the message that we want kick their asses, not kiss them.
