What Daniel Pearl's decapitation means to Barack Obama
spectator.co.uk ^ | May 22, 2010

Posted on 05/22/2010 7:06:51 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Even given Obama’s ever more terrifying and lethal performance in office, his comments about the jihadi murder of Daniel Pearl, and in front of Daniel’s bereaved family, are simply astounding. This is what Obama said:

‘Obviously, the loss of Daniel Pearl was one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination because it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.’

Daniel Pearl was not murdered because he was a journalist. He was decapitated because he was an American Jew. Khalid Sheikh Mohamed cut off his head in an act of unimaginable barbarism, which was videoed in order to incite other Muslims to similar acts of barbarism and to destroy the will of the west to defend itself. But in signing the Daniel Pearl Press Freedom Act, Obama came up with the remarkable statement that the significance of Daniel Pearl’s murder was merely that

it reminded us of how valuable a free press is.

Any decent and rational person would think that the significance of Daniel Pearl’s murder was actually that the west is up against a psychopathic death cult which has a particular aim of killing Jews and destroying America. But not the American President. In front of the Pearl family, Obama couldn’t even bring himself to say Daniel was murdered. And ‘one of those moments that captured the world’s imagination’??

He made it sound like Mr. Pearl was run over by a truck while on assignment in Afghanistan or something.

Disgraceful.

I feel so bad for Daniel Pearl’s family.

....”In fact, I suggest to whoever runs against Obama in 2012 put together a montage of three clips: This one, the “let’s not jump to conclusions and quick judgments” (Hasan Nidal of the Fort Hood killings) and his comments about the black college professor who was legally arrested by the white police officer. Beer Summit my arse.
Start running them in June 2012 and we’ll have a new President sworn in on 20 January, 2013. I wonder if their spin doctors are hiring?”

One more clip to add. The tepid reception he received at West Point. I wonder if any graduates turned their backs to the podium when he was introduced? This loser needs to go back to Kenya!

“Imagination”? No, I believe the world was captured in reality. However, in obama’s world, it is all a magical ride.

You're right. Here we have one of the most depraved, horrific, despicable, brutal and heinous acts ever videotaped. The world is revulsed, repelled, horrified and outraged. And zero just finds it an inspiration to float off into fantasies.

Hmmm. Do you think it's because he secretly "imagines" himself to be like KSM?

Anybody that saw Obama’s dreadful performance and still doesn’t see what an incredibility despicable person he is, and that he is an enemy of all that is good and right, is just blind.

Half of my family is Jewish. The Socialist streak runs deep in them. No matter how corrupt or evil a socialist is, they will back the socialist over a free market “capitalist” even if they are honest.

They will continue to back Obama, even if Obama’s followers start killing Jews.

Unfortunately our boy president didn’t know what he was talking about as usual,so when he opens his mouth he inserts his foot.There’s NO excuse for this dope.

Precisely....he cannot focus on the truth as it casts his brothers into a nasty light... but by him doing what he did? Accomplishes a similar thing and its very evident.

I still refuse to watch the video.

I have a question for those who did see it. Was Daniel Pearl alive as he was being decapitated? Or did this happen when he was already dead? I just can't fathom that someone can actually saw off someone's head while they are still alive. Please tell me it isn't so.

I didn't think that a person could live with ice water running through their veins instead of blood. Barky has proven me wrong...live and learn.

Obama is a foreign policy expert, as the photograph confirms.

I watched the video 50 consecutive times. I wanted to burn the nature of our enemy indelibly in my mind.

“The real tragedy is that one has come not to expect any better from the Sociopath In Chief.”

Nearly all, if not more when pressed would support him again in an election. At least 50% probably see nothing wrong with his comments on Daniel Pearl...or anything else.

The majority, if pushed on any point, are still firmly on his side. 40%+++ still would vote him in again tomorrow. More than that support the Dems decisions about what congress has given us all since Obama came to office... and are showing NO remorse for what their vote gave us.

Do you see or hear any calls for a recall or retirement of their reps or senators? No, and you wont. That sadly is what the liberals are all about. Obama is them and represents all they want this country to be.

That is what we are dealing with. Situations are nowhere near any better now for this country or the conservative voters than they were one day before or after the health care bill was signed. Don't let your hopes get up about anything.

The country is now dealing with animals in politics and general civility.

Prayers for all.

Just attempting to contemplate the alleged thought processes going through this teleprompter clown’s head is an exercise in surrealism.

How about a “shout out” to Khalid Shaikh Mohammad next time?

The man doesn’t seem human.

I saw the picture of this scene with Mr Pearl, Daniel’s father. His look said everything. The disdain fro Obozo was soooo clear.

I wonder how Mr. Pearl views Bush now.

Pearl was quite alive when KSM started sawing his head off.

Obama could go to Tehran with CNN and MSNBC in tow. He would meet with Admehnijad (sp?) - they would toast then Obama would press a button to launch a missile to nuke Tel Aviv.

The press would cheer and most liberal American Jews would cheer as well.

He is a muslim, he is evil and probably happy Danny Pearl “got what he deserved.” Poor Daniel, his wife and family. Sick.

Today at the muni golf course some old Irish Catholic guy was there. He works a rangemaster. The idiots still has a Hussein bumper sticker. My guess ex-union. Evil Liberals come in all types, colors and religions plus atheists.

I know one Jewish person who is a “atheist” and an insane lib. He was furious on 9/11 at the Muslims but was a rabid Bush hater. I am sure he voted Hussein. How soon people forgot 9/11.

I recall going to local gun store and there is a Jewish guy there who is a semi-rambo type but a good guy. He practically mugged people to tell them not to vote for Hussein. Warned them over and over.

The Daniel Pearl story is just too sad to think about. His death along with other victims of the Muslims murder and beheading like the brave cook from Italy who had a job in Iraq.

Well, of course. I'm sure every jihadi in the world creamed their pants at the video. Right along with Obama and Osama.
