Martin Bashir And NBC Terror Expert On People Attending Ground Zero Mosque Protests: “Not Much Of A Jump” From That To Norway Attacks…

No comment necessary.

“Let’s turn back the clock to last summer and let’s remember the debate that’s been taking place since then. We’ve seen protests here in New York outside the Park 51 complex, saying that Islam is coming to take over America and that [the mosque] can’t be built . . . you had individuals showing up at political rallies in Arizona carrying assault rifles. Look, I mean, it’s not that much of a jump from that to this [bombing in Norway].”

Mediate’s Matt Schneider adds:

Yes, that’s right, according to this expert on terrorism, attending protests and rallies is not “much of a jump” away from the unthinkable massacre caused by Breivik. Sometimes such lunacy isn’t worth highlighting and responding to, yet in this ping-pong match between Kohlmann and Bashir, it just keeps getting “better.” Kohlmann suggests in Republican presidential debates “Muslims are being treated like they’re some kind of evil virus” and Bashir concludes this incident in Norway reminds us that we “should be careful about what we say at political rallies.”

    =========================

    He must have it confused with the Union Protests in Wisconsin.

    This bullshit comparison is a short jump to 1930s Germany when all protests were verboten! Welcome to the Third Reich 1933…only difference: Americans don’t scare that easily. Bring it on.

    Meaning how could he have any say in matters of terror not that he was the actual expert.

    That’s interesting, I guess that means the Leftists can’t use their favorite weapon anymore: protests including threats and intimidation.

    It is used, as a tactic, primarily by the Left. They protest on average of 40 times as much as the Right. And that is probably an understatement.

    Won’t they be pissed….

    What makes this guy a terror expert? Is that why they had him interview Michael jackson? Was he a terror expert back then too? wow, a terror expert.

    Wait a minute………. I attended those ground zero mosque protests, one of which over 20,000 people showed up. It was a great event with great people and speakers.
    Violence wasn’t the answer then, and it isn’t now……….

    Knowledge is the answer……….. and Bashir is a hopeless, pathetic fear monger.

    Martin Bashir should take his arab ass back to abu dhabi and ride a camel. His comment are so offensive as to go beyond the pale. His psuedo-intellectual comportment reeks of a man who is clearly uncomfortable within his own skin. As an arab and shock journalist, he’s clearly a jackass of unrivaled merit.

    We have now jumped from Islamophobia to anti multi culturalism, so lets get things straight just because some loon decides to attack the Labour party all criticism of Immigration and Islamic radicals can now be seen as potential mass murder, just keep talking lefties soon you will sound as stupid as you look. Islam is a problem in the world and so is the left wing

    Who says Moslems are Evil?

    I’ve yet to hear one of their millions of victims come back from the dead and accuse them of being Evil.

    So there’s reasonable doubt. Isn’t that right, O.J.? What say you, Casey?

    ah yes, “tearrer expert”, as in I just ripped out the seat of my pants! Bashir is a tool and a fool of the left, and may be a mudlim himself!

    The mosque at ground zero is to commemerate their victory on 9/11
    The muslims gave nothing to help the victims of that attack
    I have never seen a protest by muslims against terrorism
    Until then bashir
    Fuck off

    If the gzmosque, which is nothing more than a carny freak show compared to the disgust with our fed, st, co, and city governments, protest isn’t “much of a jump” imagine what might arise. I heard this morning that a county in GA just raised property tax 34%. A lone gunner is nothing compared to an aroused populace of the third most populated country in the world. When the tipping point is reached woe be it to us all.

    I rarely have time to go back and analyze the arguments which may be posted in response to my statements—because there are so many far-right-wing-ultra-conservative Internet sites to be read. In positing the following comment, the only thing I ask is that whether the assertions be mine or others,
    divest yourselves of all pejorative thinking and investigate for yourself to find the truth:

    “True. It’s the mindset of the radical-right-wing. Ultra-conservatives have much in common with the Nazis. Especially when coupled with Christian Fundamentalists–don’t forget most German Nazis population were Christians. I can imagine a crowd of right-wing anti-Muslims/anti-Gays being prompted to commit murder in the presence of a few Muslims or Gays–especially if they believe it is God’s will.”

    If you want to be entertained, watch FOX, MSNBC, or CNN. If you want to be informed, real news and analysis, watch LinkTV or FreeSpeechTV or CurrentTV for real news, analysis, and documentaries.

    Another pathetic attempt (like Washerman-Shlitz vs West) to get the public’s eyes off the debt debacle.

    And you have to love this comment by the self-styled “expert” about tea partiers:
    “…you had individuals showing up at political rallies in Arizona carrying assault rifles. ”

    Are you referring to the tight shot of the guy in khakis with an AR-15 on a sling over his shoulder? The one that ran on all the network news programs? The one that just showed his back and the AR, but no face or hands or neck? That guy?

    Wait, Martin…surely with all the access you have to raw video, you must have seen the whole clip from which that shot was so skillfully edited. The guy carrying the AR was a Tea Party supporter all right, and he also happened to be black. And no one at the rally batted an eye at a black guy carrying a scary “assault rifle.” Except the video crew, of course.

    But yeah, you just keep repeating “…individuals showing up at political rallies in Arizona carrying assault rifles” and your idiot followers will get your message.
