On Rush Limbaughs Friday program, fill-in host Mark Steyn reminded listeners of Limbaughs Tuesday comments predicting the media would circle the wagons for Islam if it turned out that the suspects in Mondays Boston Marathon bombing Muslims, saying that the prediction will come true.
As it turned out, the suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indeed Muslims, and Steyn, author of After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, said the media wagon-circling would begin any moment now.
As we now know, these guys are Muslim, Steyn said. One of them was Muslim. Hes dead he died in the early hours this morning. The other guy, still on the lam, is Muslim Muslims from Chechnya. And so, as usual, any moment now well start to hear, Oh well, these are just lone wolves, as Rush said. Theyre not typical of anything. None of these guys are ever typical of anything.

Yeah, the media will try that ? but ? they can’t hide from the pictures of those people killed, injured and with limbs missing.
The media will search for underlying causes as to their rage as to try and mitigate their atrocities. Meanwhile, non-violent Tea Party protesters will continue to be vilified and equated to terrorists.
We must have said something to make them blow people up.../s
They already are. I just heard some of the talking heads suggest this had nothing to do with Islam.
He’s right. Beck said the same thing.
Its odd. I just realized that, if I didn’t read it here, I’d have little idea what the “media” will do with this story.
I turned them off quite a while ago. I still read ‘about’ the media (here mostly) but I have managed to mostly fence them out of my head otherwise.
I think thats an important step. Turn them off. Find sources of information you trust and turn the others off. I notice that its mostly the new media that are really covering this story anyway.
Sure would like to know what Mooch-Elle was doing visiting that muslim ba$tard in the hospital who is related to that wealthy muslim family . . . and how much did they pay the rather porcine FLOTUS to look the other way.
It won't require much contortion. That blame game follows a well-worn pattern for Progressives: Conservatives created a climate of hate (you know, the Rush Limbaughs et al)with their aggressive, anti-Muslim rhetoric, driving these otherwise peaceful young men to resort to vengeful violence.
The media will blame the fact that they were not accepted by their host country well-enough, that their peers did not fully embrace them, etc. This led for them finding solace in Islam, then seeing the US killing muslims, etc.
Even though they did exactly what their religion tells them to do, the press will harp, as they always do, that Islam had nothing to do with these bombings.
Yes, they will play down the Islamic connection. But given that they are from Chechnya, they will “cleverly” remind people that the bombers are “Caucasian.”
Now the susppects philosophy in this act will be buried by the DNC press.
Muslims share the Democrats hated of America.

They have already started. This morning some Left Liberal kook on a station was talking about how the older brother didn't have any American friends and couldn't understand Americans, this bozo then goes on to ask "maybe he experienced something negative" here in America to make him do these horrific acts, implying maybe the poor misunderstood jihadist was 'bullied' by the big bad Americans. Disgusting, I had to turn off the station.
I was watching PSMNBC at the hospital(I don’t control the channels there)and was completely shocked that the graphics being run identified these guys as Muslims and the person being interviewed mentioned the same fact several times.
Who woulda thunk it?
PMSNBC
What Friday program with Mark Steyn, whom I really enjoy as a Rush guest host???? My local station stayed with the Fox drones talking about nothing with nobodies.
Ggggrrrrr!!!
If a terrorist attack is perpetrated by a Muslim we must look to root causes and legitimate grievances and ask what we can do so as not to anger Muslims.
If a terrorist attack is perpetrated by a right-winger we must ask ourselves if the public airways can continue to be used by zealots to drum up hate against the government and ask right wing politicians and commentators to tone down the rhetoric.
If a terrorist attack is perpetrated by a left-winger they must be given a job as a teacher at a University
Vietnam was a police action
Fort Hood was workplace violence
Obama’s elections are bullying
Fair is fair.
Mark Steyn: Media will downplay Boston bomber-Muslim link, same as Ft. Hood, underwear bomber
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Muslims?? Why, the lame stream press has already told us these fine young boys were AMERICANS. They were naturlized and everything.
One of them was going to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team.
God Bless America, and all that jazz.
