An Appalling Reaction to an Outrageous Crime
national review ^ | 2/15/11 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 02/15/2011 2:48:18 PM PST by Nachum

The news from CBS about correspondent Lara Logan’s assault in Egypt is awful beyond words.

At a time like this, we all feel helpless. And angry. The perpetrators, anonymous men in an angry mob, may never see justice.

Perhaps we can channel that frustration and anger towards righting a wrong closer to home. To some other outrage… say… the reaction to Logan’s assault from a fellow at the NYU Center for Law and Security, Nir Rosen.

The Religion of Peace, Islam, views infidel women as no better than whores.

Even their own women, when raped, are punished harshly. Go figure!

You media hucksters wouldn’t qualify for your jobs if you weren’t helpless and angry.

Remember how FNC handled Steve Centanni’s abduction? They used their real connection to the Palestinians, unlike CBS who is nothing but a cheap pimp in the whole story.

Nir appears like the sort of chap who might find this assault an acceptable way for some muslim youth to blow off some steam. It was a celebration and she was a filthy infidel whore after all. Got to keep those none burquad women in their place.

I find the jokes about her offensive. No one deserves to be raped and the perps will never suffer a penalty for their heinous acts.

I wonder what the reactions of the MSM would be like if it had been Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin or Sarah.

So, an American reporter’s gang raping is amusing to him because she dared to stick up for Gen. McChrystal and to report on our Special Forces soldiers in a positive light.

I wonder how he’d feel if he knew that there are now probably more than a few Americans who would find it funny if he got a taste of the same sort of abuse. I’m sure they’d find him pretty enough in Egypt.

Here is one of his pieces. I think from the title you can get an idea of what type of writer he is:

As so often, the term ‘terrorism’ has proved a rhetorical smokescreen under cover of which the strong crush the weak

An appalling over-reaction to some nobody's reaction. Yawn!

You suppose zero will ‘stand with his muslim brothers’ over this ‘misunderstanding’?

I regret that she went through that. I hope she recovers, physically and psychologically. I wonder if it will affect her reporting attitude.

It seems like the MSM love to tell us what to think, how black is white, how Muslims are peaceful and wonderful, but let one of theirs get abused, and we hear all about it. If my wife had been there and accidentally stepped out into that crowd, the MSM wouldn’t have much to say about it.

Not to be lurid, but what exactly happened? Grabbed breast? pinched butt? What was the assault?

What idiot sent her there in the first place? Did he or she think that being a western newsbabe would protect her???
