IN all the brouhaha over the New Yorker's cover car toon satirizing Barack and Michelle Obama, a truly "tasteless and offensive" passage in the magazine's feature article got lost.
The piece quotes Obama's recommendations for how to stop jihad, which he had previously published in a local Chicago newspaper eight days after 9/11. It's a self-parody of blind, deaf and dumb Kumbaya liberalism:
"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others.
"Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."
Is this man for real? Osama bin Laden's murderous legions are plenty able to "imagine" the "suffering of others." Go watch an al Qaeda beheading video. Just Google it or surf YouTube. Imagining the suffering of infidels is covered amply in basic Jihadi Training 101.

“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

These animals are NOT “numb” to the pain and suffering of others. They recognize it when they see/cause it.
They REJOICE in it. They REVEL in it.
They rejoice and revel in it because they are evil. They are evil because they have CHOSEN to be evil.
...and B. Hussein Obama is a buffoon. WHY he is a buffooon I do not know... but he IS a buffoon.
He can't look back at history and see that there has always been a steady supply of despots. They all have that "fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others."
They understand force, or the threat of force, and that's all.
Islam is a criminal enterprise tenuously held together by the preponderance of ignorance and the threat of violence.
We believe that muslims, like communists, are on their best behavior when they are afraid. As a matter of fact, Senator Obama, I AM QUESTIONING YOUR PATRIOTISM!
When you sit at the feet of a “minister” who damns America for 20 years, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.
When you establish and nurture relationships with people like Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist, who is on record as saying “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon”, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.
When you stand with politicians and prevent this nation from securing its own sources of energy, and thus become energy-independent, I QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.
When you publicly declare “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction” and say nothing about standing with our armed forces who are sacrificing themselves to defend our way of life, I DEFINITELY QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM.
Go ahead...Senator Obama, or anyone else on this planet...refute this if you can:
I won't vote for Barack Obama not because he's black, but because he's RED
The only thing these people know is to follow the person that yells the loudest and carrys the biggest gun. They are animals of the lowest kind and don’t deserve our sympathy. People who say we must help them, don’t understand them. There is no helping them.
Because the head hackers don't care what sound is coming out of your mouth as they saw through you throat. They just want you dead.
We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness....
How long does it take you to understand they killed over 3,000 civilians in New York? Whats to understand about their madness, Wimpy?.....
The only way to help them is to show them the error of their ways, the evil of Islam, and help them find salvation and forgiveness in the lord. But that only works for those who have been tricked into following Islam.
Those who understand and believe it's core teachings and believe that all others must convert or be killed, that "the world- all of it- is for Allah (Satan) and Allah (Satan) alone, that he must not have any rivals" stand firm in their convictions and will not be helped.
It is our right to defend ourselves, our children, our lives and our nation against them and their evil cult.
What is the meaning of kumbaya in the headline,why kumbaya can’t fight terror.And is there something wrong with the song ‘kumbaya’?
