Obama: Beheading of Daniel Pearl ‘captured the world’s imagination’ [video]
daily caller ^ | May 18, 2010 | staff

Posted on 05/18/2010 11:52:09 AM PDT by Nachum

President Obama today signed into law The Daniel Pearl Freedom of Press Act, which expands efforts to identify countries that don’t share our love for the First Amendment. He also took time to honor the man the bill is named after, journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic extremists in 2002 in what the President — with nary a teleprompter in sight — called a moment that ‘captured the world’s imagination.’ The Obama administration has pushed to have Pearl’s professed killer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, tried in civilian court.

which is comical when you consider how much it costs to attend those places.

It is more about networking than education. You hire me; I hire your cousin; I leave and hire you; and on and on.

Obama is a sociopath. As such, he feels no empathy At All. In fact, he has great difficulty getting in touch with almost all his human feelings; anger is the only thing he feels easily. He is, iow, a sick, sick, sick man. Sometimes sociopaths get excited by extreme videos because they vicariously feel *something*, which is more than they feel as a rule.

“Capture the imagination” is always, always, always used in a positive light, to mean that the imagination has been engendered by an inspirational act of some sort.

For using the term the way Obama has, he should apologize to every American and every ally, and every family member of an American or an ally who has been murdered by these savages.

The problem with that is that, even if he could be convinced to apologize, it would never be a sincere apology for what he said.

Notice how cool and reserved he was about it?

No outrage at all, like he was describing a movie he once saw. I will never be convinced this guy is American, no matter where he was born.

Barack Obama is the biggest hypocrite breathing today. He has no love for the First Amendment, the piece of Muslim garbage.

captured the world’s imagination? That is a very peculiar choice of words to describe that horrible event. I thought this guy was supposed to be so smart.

Beheadings do not capture one’s imagination, they horrify.

Not if your a muzzie, they don't. Especially beheading a Jew American infidel.

What a profoundly stupid dreamy statement.

Getting beheaded on camera with a dull knife “captures the world’s imagination”? Does Nick Berg’s family feel their son’ss murder “captured the world’s imagination?”

What - is the world full of sadistic slashers?

We call them *flatliners* - which means they are equipped with blinders for the duration of their education. Listening only to what they are told, reading only what is required and studying for tests only in order to get a grade.

They cannot think creatively, solve problems, or increase knowlege. They follow the frat flat line, believing they have studied and memorized all they will ever need in business or life.

In the same way that 1984 captured his imagination?

I’m going to assume that Marion Pearl was at an event that was named in her husband’s honor... just assuming...

Please tell me that I’m wrong and that she didn’t have to hear something so unempathetic...

It’s not only a lack of teleprompter; it’s a brain malfunction that rivals Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction. A brain fart to be precise.

0bagger doesn’t know or care that the one who’s boasting and claiming responsibility for Butchering Daniel Pearle is none other than the terrorist that 0b0z0 regime is still trying to try in NYC, KSM!

Yeah, right, give KSM a platform to repeat his boast in public and give the terrorists’ collective finger to NYC residents in particular and the US in general!

Way to go, 0gn0ramus! Your “intellectual superiority” is shining through!
