You Can't Be Trusted With This Information

When a camouflaged-clad Hezbollah supporting Muslim takes an AK-47 to a public park the news needs to be filtered for fear of fanning the flames terrorism? Great, a nanny-state with a death wish intent on appeasing terrorists, just what we need from government and media right now.

According to Dearborn Mayor “Jack” O“Reilly, Jr., the release of information about the case was delayed until after Zarkot’s arraignment and late in the day that marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. City officials feared that announcing the arrest of an armed Arabic man so close to anniversary of the attack would stir anti-Muslim sentiments and fan the flames of terrorism.

”We didn’t want this to become more than it is,“ O’Reilly said. ”There are certain things that the media latches onto, and this would have turned into a story about terrorism. That’s not the kind of tone we want to set."

see? samo samo. liberal media filters ALL news through ideological filter. enhances or suppresses info as needed to make it fit predetermined desired political template. same song, different verse.

Yes, yes, Mayor, filter that news, because it would be much worse for people to be warned ahead of time, or alerted to a possible danger, just in case this man was not an isolated case, but part of an overall plot. Hell, it would be better for innocent people to be gunned down at a park than for a Muslim to have his feelings hurt. This multicultural shit is going to get thousands more Americans killed.

This is EXACTLY THE KIND OF THINKING THAT GOT ALL THOSE STUDENTS KILLED AT VIRGINIA TECH. OUR LEADERS HAVEN'T LEARNED A DAMN THING. IT SUCKS. THIS GUY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE RIGHT NOW, BY THE CITIZENS. AND HIS WORTHLESS BUTT KICKED ALL THE WAY TO PAKISTAN.

Indeed. What should have happened is that the guy been arrested, and as big of a spectacle as possible made of it, along with him getting carted off to Gitmo as an "enemy combatant" for the rest of his days.

And then the Nat'l Guard put on standby in case the local muzzies need an industrial strength slap-down.

"we don't want this to become more than it is"??????

we don't want to be this to be more than a self-described Muslim member of Hezbollah who intended to kill Americans with an AK-47? Isn't that bad enough?!?

We're not allowed to know that there are Muslims who are actively planning to kill us because it might stir anti-muslim sentiments???? And what: let's-kill-infidels sentiments are OK, but g*d-forbid anyone hold an I-don't-like-muslims-who-want-to-kill-me sentiment.
