FIVE MUSLIMS ARE CONVICTED OF A PLOT TO BLOW UP THE SEARS TOWER

FIVE MUSLIMS ARE CONVICTED OF A PLOT TO BLOW UP THE SEARS TOWER

The headline from the Associated Press reads "5 Miami men convicted of Sears Tower attack plot". Read the story here ... then click back.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090512/ap_on_re_us/us_terrorism_investigation

There ... did you notice anything.

Though at the end of the story you'll see some references to al Qaeda .. nowhere in the story are these men identified as Muslims; and yes .. they were all Muslims. Another story identified them as "members of an apparent militaristic religious sect", but not Muslims.

Radical Muslims can rant all week long about their intentions to kill as many Americans as possible and to bring destruction to our shores, but for heaven's sake we simply cannot identify these people for what and who they are. That would just be oh so insensitive and offensive, wouldn't it?

Wait for the White House to submit an Amicus Curiae brief in support of giving the terrorists probation since they were just expressing their religious beliefs (which the TOTUS-reader shares).

That’s OK.....this is why the mainstream media is going broke. People can read between the lines....it’s what happened in the USSR when Pravada published a “story”.

You learn to filter this stuff. Ever notice when the MSM “reports” a crime...like rape? When they give a description of the culprit...if they leave out the race...then you know.

Terrorism....excuse me, I mean plots like this one are pretty well understood by the readers...you know, this PC stuff is a lot like McCarthyism...except it’s not what they say, it’s what they don’t say.

Like when a dim politician gets arrested/convicted of a crime, they never mention his party. Hmmm. Hide the identity of muzzies and dims. Why would they do that?

Weird story...Apparently the gov’t was the terrorism recruiter...And it appears there was a cash motivation offered by the gov’t agent...

Here, the author is trying tocreate the imopression that the perps are right-wing extremists (ala McVeigh):

"federal prosecutors finally succeeded Tuesday in convicting five Miami men of plotting to start an anti-government insurrection by destroying Chicago's Sears Tower and bombing FBI offices"

Holy Schnikees. I remember walking north out of the Loop that day and looking back at the Sears Tower and wondering if it was a target as well.

I remember that Cheney was rumored to have directed the grounding of all flights that day and I still believe that he saved American lives in that act.

I also heard rumors of suspicious types taking trains south that week and crossing the border into Mexico.

“When they give a description of the culprit...if they leave out the race.” .......... Yeah, but if he was a minor Republican official it would be a front page smear for weeks and a constant joke mater for months on Leno.

Why should they want to blow up the towers? They would make fine restyled minarets for the Muslim call to prayer after the Jihadists take over!(sarcasm on)

A flight out of Dallas was grounded on 9/11 (before all fights were grounded)... the passengers were told it was because of a cargo net. Four Arab/muslim passengers tried to de-board by force and were chased through DFW airport (and later arrested on an Amtrak train). I heard this a few days later from two passengers who were supposed to be on that DFW-to-SFO flight.

We all agreed Sears Tower was the target that day.

They shall not be afraid as President Hussein is drafting his papers to pardon them, I’m sure.

So was the conviction of the arson firebombings and kidnapping plots at the 2008 RNC convention. One of the firebombers was convicted the same weekend that Ron Paul supporter carved the B backwards in her cheek and was exposed. One made the wire services, the other did not.
