This story epitomizes how hysterical and thoughtless the public discourse is nowadays. Trump is presented by the late Bob Bennett and the Daily Beast as an “Islamophobe” — someone with an irrational hatred of or fear of Islam and Muslims. In reality, he hasn’t said anything about Islam at all except that clearly there is a “problem,” and there obviously is. He has called for a temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration as an attempt to stop Islamic jihadis from entering the country. Did Bennett address that problem? Not from the looks of this story. Did Bennett propose an alternative method for keeping jihadis out of the country? No, and neither have any of the others who have likened Trump to Hitler for suggesting this. We are apparently just supposed to allow Muslims into the country without question, and accept that there will be jihad mass murder attacks in the U.S., because the alternative — appearing “racist,” even though Islam is not a race — is far worse. Death before political incorrectness.
=====================================================
“Dying GOP Senator Apologizes to Muslims for Donald Trump,” by Tim Mak, Daily Beast, May 18, 2016:
Bob Bennett spent his last days letting Muslims know how sorry he was that an Islamophobe had become his party’s all-but-certain nominee.
It was not a moment for self-pity.
Instead, with a slight slurring in his words, Bennett drew them close to express a dying wish: “Are there any Muslims in the hospital?” he asked.
“I’d love to go up to every single one of them to thank them for being in this country, and apologize to them on behalf of the Republican Party for Donald Trump,” Bennett told his wife and son, both of whom relayed this story to The Daily Beast.
He mentioned it briefly in a hospital interview with the Deseret News, a Utah news outlet. “There’s a lot of Muslims here in this area. I’m glad they’re here,” the former senator told the newspaper in April, describing them as “wonderful.”
“In the last days of his life this was an issue that was pressing in his mind… disgust for Donald Trump’s xenophobia,” Jim Bennett said. “At the end of his life he was preoccupied with getting things done that he had felt was left undone.”
“He would go to people with the hijab [on] and tell them he was glad they were in America, and they were welcome here,” his wife said. “He wanted to apologize on behalf of the Republican Party.”
The parallels between islam & mormonism are many. Perhaps the late senator felt some affinity and kinship.
You know the best part about this story?
BENNETT IS DEAD!
Bennett was indeed an NWO globalist. And that fact makes the story in question (his anti-Trump sentiments and apologetics for Islam) all the more believable.
Which dovetails nicely back to my original point — the story is completely legit.
I take extreme issue with both of you.
May he BURN in Hell.
May he BURN in Hell.
A very very sick man.
True!
He said all that crap on his death bed?
All that crap was bothering him the most?
LOL. WHATEVER!
I’m not going to say that I don’t believe it, but I will say that I don’t give a rip.
Believe this “made for mass consumption crap” at your own risk, pleasure, and delight or whatever!
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. (NOT Joseph Smith).
I’ve heard it all now.
Apologizing to Moslems.
Like 9/11 NEVER happened.
Was this before or after ISIS slaughtered children who made fun of Islam or the acid bath death given to so-called spies?
Lovely onyx this story is the BIGGEST bunch of BS, GIVE ME A BREAK on his death bed he is worried about a bunch of immigrants that WANT TO KILL US!!!! these people are just unbelievable in how STUPID THEY THINK WE ARE!!!!
God bless you.
Like 9/11 never happened and the Moslems are so very sorry for 9/11.
Sheeeesh.
That old bastard Bennett was way out of line.
God bless Mr. Donald Trump.
How is your baby Louie????
God bless you, sweet smart, beautiful GF!
You’re right.
I think this is a “concoction for public consumption,” and IF NOT, then it’s really worse!
The old bastard was truly off his rocker!
LOL.
Either way, the family should have kept QUIET!
He’s sad here in CA.
They have a cat.
Louie is relegated to outside.
I’m going to have to make some changes (quickly).
F him and the cult he presents his Obamahole to.
OMG onyx did you move in with someone that has a cat??? You know that if you keep them away from each other they will NEVER become friends, my cats are so mellow they would LOVE Louie!!!! The more they are exposed to each other they will become friends start playing and such!!! It is a rough ride for about a week or two but it will happen!!!
No, NOT move in. Just staying here, but I don’t think this is going to work out at all. My Louie “pees” when the cat hisses at him.
Never speak ill of the dead.
It is very good that he is finally dead.
A very very sick man.
I was struggling on how to make a reply to this thread....Yours was worth repeating..... Did this man ever mention Christ? Was he ever on his mind? Allah can’t help him...He does not exist. I have enjoyed many youtube videos of Muslims coming to Christ. They reach their end of religious questioning when they prayed to Allah for the last time and felt nothing but emptiness, no presence and no answer.. Then the light was shined upon them.This WAS a very sick man(spiritually and physically) that probably had every opportunity to have a relationship with God... He wasted it.
Bennett is certainly a RINO. However, I will not fault him for opposing a hike in the minimum wage, increasing food stamps because those are not the responsibility of the federal government under the Constitution. Likewise, the Constitution does not grant to the federal government to provide aid to victims of natural disasters. That belongs to private charity and the state governments. Of course the Constitution does not grant the government to bail out Wall Street Bankers either.
Yes. Worse — judging by how so many of his followers behave, and so much Muslim hate-,filled. preaching — Allah does exist — he’s known to civilized people as Satan
