CNN has been giving lots of airtime everynight this week on this, all one sided of course..even my step-dad, huge demoRat supporter notice their liberal slant and agrees with the pilot.

. You’re on this flight. The Captain comes on the intercom and delivers the following announcement:

Ladies and gentlemen, before we depart I would like to make the following announcement. We have a passenger on this aircraft who is carrying a gun. He says that he’s a Secret Service Agent. He has tried three times to submit the paperwork that would authorize him to board this flight with a loaded firearm. Each time he has filled out the paperwork incorrectly. He appears to me to be nervous and anxious. I believe he has been acting in a belligerent manner. I’m going to allow him to remain on board because he is of Middle Eastern descent and I’m concerned that if we deny him his seat he might file a lawsuit against this airline claiming racial profiling. Before we close the doors and push back I’m going to allow any of you who would like to take a later flight to grab your stuff and leave.”
Just how many people do you think will be on that flight?

One. If there were anyone from CNN on that plane they would have disembarked.

Or: "And, this passenger is seated in seat 11C"

Just how many passengers would tear him to shreds, gun or no gun?

If the whole incident wasn't so bizarre it would make a great comedy skit.

This puts it in perspective. I bet even the seatmate who said the pilot was being discrimatory would be out of his seat in a flash.

Some SOB Liberal Democrat would cause a riot trying to be the first off so he could write a letter to the Editor complaining!
