CNN anchor Erin Burnett during an interview with former first lady Laura Bush that aired Monday posed a bit of a head-scratcher: Should we “accept” anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism “when we want to make change” in the Middle East?
See for yourself [courtesy NewsBusters]:
“An Egyptian woman, her name’s Samir Ibrahim, and she’s done a lot of things, courageous things. She’s also been criticized for sending tweets that are anti-Semitic, anti-American,” Burnnett said during a segment on the George W. Bush Institute’s Women’s Initiative Fellowship Program.
“Does the U.S. need to accept that when we want to make change? You have to support people that do those things — financially in term of awards, in terms of all these things — because it pays off in the end? Is that a trade-off we have to make?” she asked.
Mrs. Bush responded with a laughing, “No.”
“No, I don’t think so, not necessarily. But I do think it’s really important that we do support women in any way we can in the U.S. And I know American women want to do that,” she answered.

To save America, do freedom loving Americans have to shove a boot up a commie's ***?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
With logic such as this, aren’t we all glad that the MSM dorks were naturally kept out of activities that actually require IQ?
Yeah, because Putin’s embrace of the Soviet era really helped Russia become a functioning Pro-Western multiparty democracy. /sarc
The sad part is, these folks provide information to many folks that use the info to make decisions, such as voting.
If you think meteors that hit earth do so because of global warming (which a CNN anchor did) then you’re probably ready to accept anit-Americanism & anti-Semitism. Liberals are smarter than regular folk, don’t you know.
What an evil POS Burnett has shown herself to be. May God deliver to her what she truly deserves.
Burnett’s real question is:
“Shouldn’t we just accept anything Obama wants?”
“With logic such as this, aren’t we all glad that the MSM dorks were naturally kept out of activities that actually require IQ?
“The sad part is, these folks provide information to many folks that use the info to make decisions, such as voting. “
Indeed.
And they’ll blame us when the unavoidable CW-II starts.
In the realm of morality, betrayal of one's fundamental abstract conceptual principles is a victory for evil and is destructive to the good in the long run.
These “people” are SICK. However,we already knew that. :(
Would Erin have said the same thing if Samir Ibrahim had instead been sending out anti-homosexual and racist tweets?
Those who can.. do.
Those who can’t.. teach.
Those with no appreciable cranial activity.. become the “media.”
A little anti-semitism. Like sending the S.S. St. Louis back to Germany.
Um...
How would we affect change by just excepting things the way they are?
Wouldn’t that be the very definition of NOT affecting change?
Everyone is anti-something, it’s human nature.
So what Erin is really asking is this:
“Do we have to disregard American values in America as we attempt to spread American values to people who hate us and laugh at our values?”
Trade-off to achieve what???? These people are certifiable.
Laura should have responded should she (Erin Burnett) accept a little rape or “honor killing” as part of her job description if she were a M.E. reporter.
YES!!!
Throw the insanity back in their faces, every time!
