TweetI have no words to describe the most disgraceful man in the history of American Media other than “astonishing, moronic, pathetic, ignorant, disgusting moral equivalence”
Well I guess those were a couple, but I’ll leave it at that. Just watch…
If you can’t see the video at work, here’s what he said:
They pulled the ad? Because of the possibility of misperception? By the right-wing equivalents of jihadists — the people in this country who most closely share the mentalities of the terrorists. Who act the most like Middle Eastern nutjobs. Who rail against diversity, try to murder dissent, and care more about flags than about people.
You know, the Michelle Malkins of the world….How about the rest of us boycott Dunkin’ Donuts, for giving in to fascists like Michelle Malkin? And for giving weight to perhaps the most absurd idea the lunatic fringers have ever belched forth: that there are terrorist scarves! Terrorist scarves!
Michelle Malkin points out:
“It’s just a scarf, the clueless keffiyeh-wearers scoff. Would they say the same of fashion designers who marketed modified Klan-style hoods in Burberry plaid as the next big thing?”
Robert Spencer also adds:
This is another example of the witless moral equivalence that I devoted a book to refuting last year. It’s just stupid rhetorical overheating, but it is worth noting because it distracts from the reality of the global jihad, and that keeps us from defending ourselves against it. If American conservatives really were the “equivalents of jihadists,” Keith Olbermann’s head would some time ago have been separated from his body. But the obverse is even worse: if jihadists are just like American conservatives, why, then they’re just “nutjobs” who “rail against diversity” — worthy of mockery, but not of serious concern.
