musing minds

**Stuart Varney from the linked video:

I think that the British have to get used to the economic negative impact of having a large, hostile, and murderous minority living in their midst.

Ben Stein: Bravo.

Varney: A recent poll of British Muslims found 7 percent found sucide bombing acceptable, 20 percent found it acceptable if it was directed against the British military, and 37 percent found it acceptable if it was directed against British Jews.[emphasis Stuart’s] That means…

Ben Stein: Oh my God!

Varney: a half million people in Britain have a near Nazi mentality, and there’s an economic price for that situation.

Watch the video.

Welcome Wizbang! readers. Thanks Lorie. Have a look around while you’re here. [home]

**Fixed spelling of Stuart Varney’s name.

just grow up.

There is a time to be a child, to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. Then there is a time to put childish things away. If you want to disagree with policies meant to keep you safe, do it. If you want to hate a man or even a movement, do it…but do it with something that goes beyond adolescent spouting off, backed up by nothing more than “feelings,” “caring,” and hysterical, dramatic angst. Sometimes I read the drivel some of you folks write me, and I want to take you by the shoulders and shake you and say, “grow up. Grow UP!“

Newsbusters has a great roundup on Fauxtography

Scroll down on this page for more on Fauxtography including videos of Ace and Charles Johnson on Fox News the other day, an “Osgood File” that’s a must hear, and other commentary.

Thanks for making us the Website of the Day!

Please have a look around and leave a comment or two.

Jim at Gateway Pundit has some new pics from the Old Gray Lady showing a poor guy helping out the photographer, then suddenly, he’s dead in the wreckage!

So, all together now, how dead was he?

Link to the NYT story go down to numbers 14 and 15.

Not very.

Charles Johnson coined a new term which is just perfect: Fauxtography.

The Times issued this correction:

A picture caption with an audio slide show on July 27 about an Israeli attack on a building in Tyre, Lebanon, imprecisely described the situation in the picture. The man pictured, who had been seen in previous images appearing to assist with the rescue effort, was injured during that rescue effort, not during the initial attack, and was not killed.

The correct description was this one, which appeared with that picture in the printed edition of The Times: After an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building in Tyre, Lebanon, yesterday, one man helped another who had fallen and was hurt.

Charles Johnson on Dayside.

This clip contains the “four hands” at the pipeline that was referred to in Ace’s video.

Here’s the video of Ace on Fox. He’s not very happy with it. He wanted to say all this, but sadly, they edited him greatly.

Ace’s actual appearance will be posted in a bit. And also Charles Johnson’s appearance.

The 8:25 am version of the Osgood File this morning with Dave Ross was somewhat surprising.

You can listen to it and read the transcript here.

He discusses the innocents who are being hurt and that they have some responsibility for what is happening.

Listen and read.

Referencing my article below, here’s another crime that won’t be classified as terrorism (and probably shouldn’t be) and it also won’t be classified as a “hate” crime (as was the crime committed by Naveed Afzal Haq in Seattle).

I agree with Betsy wholeheartedly about the classification of “hate” crimes. How does it make an assault or a murder more of an assault or a murder?

Person A kills Person B.

Scenario 1: Person A is a wife who just can’t stand her husband anymore. She’s really mad because he will not put the seat back down and he never picks up his dirty under shorts. She “hates” him.

Scenario 2: Person “A” is a member of one religious or ethnic group. Person “B” is member of another religious or ethnic group. Person A “hates” all persons of Person B’s religious or ethnic group.

Person B is just as dead. Murder one is murder one.

As Betsy says, “Why should motive (apart from self-defense) make a murder more or less heinous?”
