ABC's Amanpour Comes Under Attack In Cairo
Broadcasting & Cable ^ | 2/2/11 | Ben Grossman

Posted on 02/02/2011 10:25:10 AM PST by Nachum

ABC's Christiane Amanpour said Wednesday that she and a crew came under attack from a "mob" on the same day CNN's Anderson Cooper reported the same. Amanpour wrote in a reporter's notebook released by ABC News that the attack came after trying to film on a bridge into Tahrir Square. "An angry mob surrounded us and chased us into the car shouting that they hate America," she said. "They kicked in the car doors and broke our windshield as we drove away."

I guess they are not big fans of puppets for the regime.

In the interest of our new found “civility”, I’m going to refrain from saying what I’m thinking - but that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking it.

She chose sides early on. Having made herself a combatant she can expect to be a target.

We may have our new Daniel Pearl in the next few days, and it may well be a woman targeted. All these liberals like Alan Combs that LOVE Al Jazeera and their newfound love for citizens demonstrating may find a deadly learning experience in the process of reporting on these peaceful ‘freedom fighters’

“An angry mob surrounded us and chased us into the car shouting that they hate America,”

Obviously this misinformed mob thought that GWB still was in the WH and hadn’t heard of BHO’s transformative world leadership.

Don’t they realize she is one of them. A war slut with her heart with America’s enemies.

Sounds like something that should happen here in America. She hates this country with a passion.

"An angry mob surrounded us and chased us into the car shouting that they hate America," she said.

"So do I" she shouted back.

savages....so unappreciative of Mrs Rubin’s multicultural regional expertise ... tsk tsk tsk

Why, don’t they realize they could auction off chances to punch these smarmy press libs in the face? And maybe even win a dirty dance with the perky Katie Couric.
