Maybe if we apologized with greater deference
Clarice Feldman
Tom Maguire notes the President's preposterous statement about the
shooting at Ft Hood to the effect that there should be no backlash
against Moslems - -a common refrain among the left at each of these
outrages and one without any factual basis for such concern.
And then he brings his sights to focus on the New York Times:
The Times also delivers their own absurd 'blame the victims'
perspective:
Mr. Obama has made it a goal of his presidency to repair relations
with Muslims around the world; in a major speech in Cairo this year,
he called for a "new beginning" with the Muslim world. The shootings
at Fort Hood, however, pose a different problem for the president, by
shining a spotlight on the tensions Muslims feel inside the United
States.
Pardon me? This incident spotlighted the tensions felt by Muslims in
the US? Please - if investigators had discovered that Hasan had
recorded a Glenn Beck segment on his TiVo the Times would be fretting
about a rising tide of right wing extremism.
Some dots just can't be connected.
I expect Tom and I aren't the only ones who find this refrain
insulting and ridiculous, This is not Backwardistan where even rumors
of a blasphemous cartoon draw bloodthirsty throngs into the
streets.And it is passing strange how so much of the media and left
are willing without any evidence continually to tar their
conservaticepolitical opponents as bloodthirsty avengers and the real
murderers as innocent victims.
