ABHORRENT! New York Times Calls Osama Bin Laden ‘Devoted Family Man’
newsbusters ^ | 08/04/2021 | Geoffrey Dickens

In a sick and twisted Twitter headline the New York Times actually called Osama bin Laden — the evil terrorist mastermind of 9/11 — “a devoted family man.”

The former Navy Seal who killed bin Laden, Robert J. O’Neil, called out the Times before somebody on their social media team quickly changed the headline. The original August 3 tweet headline read: “Osama bin Laden, the Fanatical Terrorist and the Devoted Family Man.”

O’Neil responded: “Family man. He used his wife as a human shield. Lucky for me he was taller than her.”

He’s dead Jim. But most likely he was, to several plus his wife whom he tried to hide behind when shot.

He was ‘devoted’... did he not have four wives?

One really has to be ‘devoted’ to family to have four.

Compared to a New York Times owner, staffer, advertiser, or subscriber, Osama Bin Laden IS a better person.

Well, perhaps so, but he had spares.

And he flew planes into the WTT and the Pentagon. He may well have been a devoted family man but that counts nothing if he is also a mass murderer.

How about this NYT Headline, “Joseph Stalin, Communist and Philanthropist”.

And the particular world group he belonged to only dealt in death and destruction; nothing else.

And a Moslem can kill his daughter for refusing to marry Daddy’s choice and still be a “devoted family man.”.

Have any of them (or all of the combined) mass murdered anywhere close to 3000 people?

Also, in case you didn't know, 2 FREEPERS died on 9/11/01:


Barbra Olson

She was on AA Flight 77 (Crashed into the Pentagon).


Battalion Chief John Moran

He was killed at 09:50 when the South Tower collapsed. He was risking his life to save other lives.

Didn’t the also call Soleimani (or one of the other violent savage Imams) an “Auster religion elder?” Something like that. And that toothless injun pounding his drum in Nick Sandmann’s face is an “respected Native American Elder.” Even the BB has a hard time finding enough satire when it comes to democrats.
