Boston Marathon Bombing: Scarborough Blames 'Radicalism'—But Doesn't Mention Islam
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/22/2013 5:48:30 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough has dropped the f-word on live TV. But does he dare drop the I-word: Islam?

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough to his credit rejected the maudlin pseudo-introspection of those [including panelist Richard Haass] who would somehow blame America's failure to integrate the Tsarnaev brothers into society for their decision to bomb the Boston Marathon. Scarborough didn't hesitate to call the Tsarnaevs "evil beasts." Instead of blaming society, Scarborough blamed the brothers' "evil" and "radicalism." But Scarborough stopped short of naming the radicalism for what it is: radical Islam.

Boston Mayor and U.S. Establishment Press Ignoring Marathon Bombing ‘Sleeper Cell’ Reports

Sunday, April 21, 2013

An unbylined Associated Press report (graphic saved here) appearing at ABC News (time-stamped 9:51 a.m. at the AP’s main national site; graphic saved here) reports that Boston Mayor Tom Menino appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and said, in the AP’s words, that “the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing acted alone.”

The brief AP report’s third paragraph then has Menino saying, again in AP’s words, that “another person was taken into custody” after “a pipe bomb was found in another location.” This apparent inconsistency seems to be an attempt by the mayor to minimize the degree of homegrown “sleeper cell” concerns, especially in light of reports containing a cascade of contradicting details which follow the jump.

A lot of effort is wasted on FR dealing with this vapid former Congressman and his sidekick, the daughter of Jimmy Carter’s foolish National Security Adviser. Its time simply to label these people as hopelessly stupid, politically correct, agitated wimps and ignore them.

The left has a special kneejerk protective feeling of Islam,
because of their common enemy in Christianity, and in Christ Himself.

So, what he’s saying is - “stop killing non-Christians! Stay focused!”

Media Outrage: Bombers not ‘Extreme Right Wing’

Posted on April 19, 2013 by Gary DeMar Filed under 2nd Amendment, Liberalism, Media, Terrorism, Uncategorized

When stories about the Boston Marathon bombings started coming in, the media sycophants had their profile narrative in hand. It looked like American right wing extremists were the likely perpetrators. Tax Day . . . Patriots Day . . . Waco Anniversary . . . Hitler’s birthday . . . Oklahoma City Bombing. It was a perfect storm of red meat reasons why conservative anger finally had its release valve.

David Sirota, a blogger at Slate, rendered this post soon after reports of the bombings came in: “Let’s hope the Boston marathon bomber is a white American.” It would have been the best of all possible worlds. Liberals would have used the incident to bludgeon conservatives 24/7. Gun control would be passed and confiscation would most likely be the next move.

allendale, I understand your suggestion, but exposing and combating the liberal media is what we do at NewsBusters. We believe it’s worthwhile to keeptrack of what the MSM is up to.

Absolutely. It would be nice to not even mention these lefty libtards . . . they have an audience of 4 or 5 people and those people are probably living in their mothers' basements.

Actually, the only radical Islamist is one who believes in loving, forgiving and letting others choose their own path.

agree, the channel is a joke, we know they lie and have no idea what news is and are only there for a reason and that;s push their lies and crap.

I heard last week he was still harping on about his anti gun bill and she the witch next to him is thick has two short planks.

If not for Free Republic and Newsbusters Scarborough would have no audience at all.

They’re ALL tip toeing around the I-word ...I’ve heard “extremists” a lot also.

What ARE extremists and radicalists anyway? Are they nuts, or are they just people who stand up for their beliefs, or believe VERY strongly in their chosen religion/philosophy/idea?

If we are not going to identify to what radical or extreme ideas they are standing for ....then what good is this?
