105 hate crimes against Muslims equals Islamophobia, but 1,055 against Jews is no big deal

Inconvenient Truth: 10 Times More Hate Crimes Against Jews Than Muslims
September 6, 2010 by Noel Sheppard

If you believed the media, you would think that hate crimes against Muslims was a growing epidemic in America.

Just Monday, the New York Times had a front page story hysterically noting a “torrent of anti-Muslim sentiments and a spate of vandalism.”

“The knifing of a Muslim cab driver in New York City has also alarmed many American Muslims,” wrote Laurie Goodstein in the second paragraph of her article titled “American Muslims Ask, Will We Ever Belong?”

Unfortunately, as Michael Doyle reported on August 28, the most recent data concerning hate crimes in this country paint a very different picture than what Goodstein and others in the media have been dishonestly portraying of late:

bias, bigotry, bullies, culture, diversity, hate crime, hypocrisy, ideology, indoctrination, intolerance, left wing, liberalism, news media, pandering, philosophy, political correctness, propaganda, relativism, religion

Burning a Koran is an act of hate, but burning the American flag is not?

CNN’s Chetry to Koran-Burning Pastor: You’ll Have Blood on Your Hands
September 7, 2010 by Matthew Balan

On Tuesday’s American Morning, CNN’s Kiran Chetry used General David Petraeus’s denunciation of a planned Koran burning by a church to blast the church’s pastor for any subsequent deaths of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan: “Are you willing to have the blood of soldiers on your hands by this demonstration?” Chetry also lectured Pastor Terry Jones over his apparent lack of “refined” Christianity.

Chetry interviewed Pastor Jones 41 minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour. After asking him why he and his church were planning to burn Korans, the anchor launched into her critique of the minister: “I wanted to let you say your piece, because when I first read this story, I thought there’s no way that this could be as bad as it sounds. It appears that it is. You’re saying that you’re going to burn the holy book of another religion to send a message to the radical elements of that religion, with no thought to the fact that you’d obviously be highly offending everyone in that religion. How do you justify that?”

Later in the segment, Chetry turned theologian and quoted Scripture to Pastor Jones as she continued to question his planned action: “What about turn thy cheek? I mean, this is- you know, Christianity at its most- you know, refined. It’s that you just don’t act out in violence. You don’t act out in any manner of hate, that you turn thy cheek, that you don’t rise to the nastiness or the level of payback that your perceived enemies do. I mean, isn’t this the exact opposite of what Christ taught all of us to be and to do?”

We were promised unemployment below 8 percent

Sanchez Admits He’s Wrong: White House Did Say Unemployment Wouldn’t Exceed 8% If Stimulus Passed
September 7, 2010 by Noel Sheppard

CNN’s Rick Sanchez took a very strong position about a White House promise on Monday only to have to backtrack and admit he was wrong 45 minutes later.

During Monday’s “Rick’s List,” Sanchez challenged Republican National Committee communications director Doug Heye about his claim that the Obama administration said the unemployment rate wouldn’t exceed eight percent if Congress enacted the President’s stimulus bill.

“Doug, who made that promise?” asked a defiant Sanchez. “I never recall hearing the President of the United — in fact, I recall the very first speech the President of the United States made after being sworn in and the very first thing he said to Americans was, expect unemployment to go into double digits.”

The CNN host arrogantly continued, “I don’t think you’re right. Prove me wrong.”

About 45 minutes later, Sanchez marvelously proved himself wrong
