how many "i"s can you find in:
that’s if you believe the screaming headlines, anyway. so, what have we got so far? we’ve got a drunk art school student who volunteers for a liberal organization that’s in favor of the ground zero mosque. he stabbed a cabbie in midtown manhattan after asking the guy if he was a muslim. the kid’s in jail, and it looks like the cabbie, ahmed sharif, is going to be okay. physically, at least.
if anybody is qualified to opine on the ground zero mosque, if anybody can be said to have absolute moral authority™ on the issue, it’s sharif, right? so, what does he think about it?
“i know many people are upset. i didn’t support the mosque at ground zero, either,” the jamaica, queens, resident said.
what do you know: sharif don’t like it. isn’t it amazing how quickly somebody can transform from “heroic survivor of a horrifying hate crime” to “evilmongering right-wing bigotard”?
oh, and the knife-wielding numbskull, michael enright, was reportedly carrying a backpack with a bottle of scotch and notebooks full of anti-muslim rants, but now the police say the notebooks don’t actually contain any anti-muslim rants. and i’m guessing the bottle doesn’t contain much scotch..
i don’t usually recommend reading talking points memo, but this post is worth it for the author’s increasingly and palpably disappointed updates (deletion in the original):
omarslurs, but the nypd did not confirm that fact to tpm….
other than that, though, it fits the obvious pattern. mayor bloomberg was last seen rushing to the mosque with a scrub brush and a big bottle of white vinegar. no word yet whether rivera is hispanic, which would only increase the identity-politics headache.
if you assault people because of their religion, you’re an idiot. and if you use such an assault — or desperately try to concoct one — to further a political agenda, you may or may not be an idiot. but you’re definitely a vulture.
p.s. for more about the narrative of hate, see doc zero.
p.p.s. frank j: “you almost have to feel for the liberals at this point. they keep getting so close to that example of right-wing violence and hate that they’re salivating over, and then lucy keeps pulling away the football.”
