Here is the MSM’s go-to guy on terrorism, Rep. Peter King (R, NY), on Fox News:

The fact is while the overwhelming majority of Muslims are outstanding people, on the other hand 100% of the Islamic terrorists are Muslims, and that is our main enemy today.

We are to the point that merely exposing yourself to right-wingers makes you dumber.

    The best quote I’ve read about this business: “I wish that, just once, some terrorist would try something that you can only foil by upgrading the passengers to first class and giving them free drinks.”

    LOL. Yeah. I wonder if first class passengers will be subject to the same limitations (bathroom trips, getting into carry-on bags, limiting to 1 carry-on) that the rest of us in steerage will be subject to. All the next terrorist has to do is buy a first class ticket. The folks up there can do whatever and bring as much stuff on the plane as they like.

    In related news, this seems like a pretty winning terrible strategy to me:

    Beltway Dems: If We Let GOP Criticism On Terror Go Unanswered We Win

    Congressional Dems have generally refrained from defending Obama’s approach to national security on the merits, and instead are hoping that it will be enough to accuse Republican critics like Rep. Pete King and Rep. Pete Hoekstra of politicizing the debate.
    __…
    Most Dems, however, have been silent, and it seems like a deliberate strategy. As Howard Dean aide and Democratic strategist Karen Finney wrote, “[Democrats] are right not to engage the GOP in playing politics with the security of our country and our people.”
    __
    But, by not engaging on the substance or backing up Obama, Congressional Democrats are ceding the initiative on the national security debate to right-wing critics like King and Hoekstra. Successfully accusing the other side of playing politics rarely works on its own—you also need to explain why one way is right and the other way is wrong.

    @MattR:

    Guess Rep. King doesn’t expect his audience to know that Muslims are people who follow Islam. He doesn’t expect them to make the connection he is – effectively – saying, “All blue pillows are pillows.”

    From this we can construct a proposition: Rep. King expects his audience to be stupid and ignorant.

    Seeing as how this proposition was presented on Fox News I submit his expectation was met.

    Maybe the Democrats need to run an ad that says:

    When the US experiences a terror act under a Democrat administration we end up with a terrorist who blows part of his nuts off, and no one killed.

    When the US experiences a terror act under a Republican administration we end up with 3,000 dead, the WTC destroyed and part of the Pentagon damaged.

    When the US experiences a terror act under a Democrat administration the Republicans play politics and go into extreme campaign mode.

    When the US experiences a terror act under a Republican administration the Democrats stand hand-in-hand with the Republicans on the steps of the Capital and sing.

    A vast majority of all the mass killings in this country has been/is done by white men, and yet, that never gets mentioned because white men are the norm and not seen as homogeneous or as a monolithic group. Anyone else is seen as other and only as a representative of some group.

    indeed it is.

    “We must pledge ourselves to support those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry.”

    He’s also the same peter king who was described by a british judge as “an obvious collaborator with the IRA”
    although he did describe GWB as a tool of “anti-Catholic bigoted forces.”

    So he doesn’t mind terrorists , and indeed will support them as long as they want to kill me and mine.

    I have the solution to stopping world terrorism.

    Ahem…

    First, we announce that it’s federal law that a person can board an airplane only if accompanied by a pet dog or cat.

    Second, we airdrop billions of cute pet pics over the Middle East.

    Third, once the pics have done their work, we airlift millions of cute and cuddly puppies and kittens into the Middle East.

    Fourth, we fly free and easy, knowing that NO ONE could blow up a plane filled with cute and cuddly pets, when they themselves have pets and pics of pets.

    Done. Someone contact the Nobel committee. I must rest my brain.

    Woohoo! And straight white men are all Everymen and totally not interested in forwarding the interests of straight white men and to suggest that they might be limited to a straight white male perspective is to be PC and bigotted because it’s self-evident that Good People rise above categories. But women, gays and non-whites automatically represent the interests of their gender, sexual or racial category and their perceptions are self-evidently oriented by those categories which makes them automatically PC bigots (i.e. not Good People).

    K. Grant

    @inkadu: Two questions need to be asked: One, is the use of the term catholic big ‘C’ or little ‘c’? If the latter, then I agree with the above stated thought, as catholic simply means ‘universal’, and every pope likely thought of themselves as something that definitely fits that description. If by Catholic we mean Roman Catholic, then you are still on decent ground, but I would guess that certain pontiffs might quibble about the necessity to do so as it limits your description, especially before Leo I and Gregory I. Gregory I really seems to be the best example of what we commonly think of as ‘Pope’. Certainly when the medievals thought of the papacy (including the popes themselves) they most distinctly thought of Gregory I. (Although they would use the ideas and writings of the earlier pontiffs to prove their cases on a whole host of issues.)

    Working w/ Paul and King as empirical data, let’s revisit my hypothesis about the possible existence of Absolute Stupidity:

    Absolute stupidity is the point at which stupidity reaches its minimum value. As implied by the laws of universal intelligence, absolute stupidity cannot be reached by artificial or natural means because this would require a system to be fully removed from the rest of the universe. A system at theoretical absolute stupidity possesses quantum mechanical zero-point intelligence.

    Awesome:

    Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, a former president of the Islamic Society at University College London, advertised speakers including political figures, human rights lawyers and former Guantánamo detainees.

    One lecture, Jihad v Terrorism, was billed as “a lecture on the Islamic position with respect to jihad”.

    Security sources are concerned that the picture emerging of his undergraduate years suggests that he was recruited by al-Qaeda in London. Security sources said that Islamist radicalisation was rife on university campuses, especially in London, and that college authorities had “a patchy record in facing up to the problem”. Previous anti-terrorist inquiries have uncovered evidence of extremists using political meetings and religious study circles to identify potential recruits.

    Those bloodthirsty Austrian Catholics….at it again….

    How’s that “Isalm has nothing to do with terrorism” meme working out for us again? But, of course, the detonator didn’t work, so the the “system works” great. I give it a B+….

    Meanwhile, the authorities learned of the threat back in August. That’s August of 2009. So obviously, this is George Bush’s fault.

    The Ghost of Richard Jaeckel

    I wonder – how do you profile a religion?

    It’s mainly about The Swarthy. My late father was olive-skinned and had a sizable schnoz, and could pass for Arab (or Greek, &c), but was actually Italian. The times I traveled with him, he always got singled out for extra screening, which was typically a pat-down and hand-wanding. I knew he found this humiliating, as it was seldom done in our local airport and attracted attention when it was.

    He did get his licks in one time when the hand-wanding registered something metallic in his left shoulder. The TSA goon pressed on the area and said, “what do we have here?” My father’s comeback: “just a little present the Nazis gave me in 1944.” Which ended the screening.

    @Ash Can:

    It’s still within the octave, so why not?

    I steal this ruthlessly henceforth. To you and yours, good health and good fortunes. May Gaia smile upon your offspring always. Time, she races by, so never hesitate to stop and say you love them, no matter what.

    @SiubhanDuinne:

    Shiraz is the one the beer guys seem to favor (and I’ve yet to meet a syrah that I din’t like) Milton Park for the special occasion, that box stuff for every other occasion.

    @kb:

    He’s also the same peter king who was described by a british judge as “an obvious obnoxious collaborator with the IRA”

    Fixed.

    It does seem that we have adequate cause for extraordinary rendition of collaborator King to the proper secret prison and have them use enhanced interrogation methods to extract information about all his IRA terrorist affiliates. We are, after all, in a Global War on Terra and Great Britain, our much beloved ally, has suffered at the hands of mr. King’s terrorist associates.

    @MattR: Yes indeed. No zero-sum games when it comes to great performers and great performances.

    @BruceFromOhio: Did not know that about beer guys favoring shiraz. I don’t much like beer, and I admit I discovered shiraz about 10 years ago in the cheesiest possible way — I couldn’t resist the “Fat Bastard” label. I like to think I have moved on slightly, although for the basic stuff I rarely pay more than 10 bucks a bottle.

    @SiubhanDuinne:

    Fat Bastard is awesome! My neighbor turned me on to it, and that’s a good merlot as well. If you like FB, you’ll like the Milton Park, although it might be priced just a tad more.

    Shiraz has a bite and follow-through similar to a porter, a stout or a heavy ale. Of course, feed someone enough beer and they’ll drink just about anything.

    @John Cole: Nonsense. Pure and unadulterated.

    The best game ever was “Frenzy Attack,” a game written by me and a friend for the commodore 64. It featured beautiful graphics, amazing sound effects, a top notch musical score, and a moving plot that addressed the existential nature of humanities relationship with technology.*

    But it’s real strength lay in its game-play, which consisted of counting the number of for-next loops the system could execute between the time the player could hit the “a” key followed by the space bar- as in golf, the lower score being the better.

    Truly a classic for the ages. I physically weep every time I consider it’s untapped potential.

    * Or rather, it would have, had we gotten around to coding that part. But trust me, conceptually, it was excellent.

    I’m still waiting for Peter King to apologize to the hundreds of British families who lost family members to the TERRORIST organization he has publicly supported for the last thirty years.

    on the other hand 100% of the Islamic terrorists are Muslims, and that is our main enemy today.

    but they aren’t….the terrorists are no more muslims than Scott Roeder is a christian.
