Today in front of an Arkansas Army and Navy recruiting center 23 year old Carlos Bledsoe, who now calls himself Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad since becoming a Muslim convert in the past couple of years, drove up to the recruiting center and shot 2 soldiers - William Long, 23, died, and Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, was wounded. Not all details are out yet and I am sure more are to come but what will be interesting is if there will be any outrage from the left. I believe Bledsoe is an American but that has not been verified yet.
I searched around on various liberal sites to see if there was anything on this story. I found a story on Huffington Post but apparently it’s buried – not on the front page and even some of the moronic commenters are somehow tying this tragic, outrageous, terrorist act to conservatives. They have something about Obama, Sarah Palin’s reaction to Dr. Tiller’s murder etc. My point being that a possible terroristic act was committed on American soldiers IN the United States by a Muslim convert and it’s BURIED. You’ll find PLENTY of blogs about Dr. Tiller’s killer and of course much of the blame points at conservatives.
The only way the left will feign ANY outrage over this obvious terrorist attack on 2 American soldiers is if they can somehow blame the right. No question about this or if they can tie this into THEIR agenda. There was actually a blog that was posted late this afternoon that specifically talks about political violence but makes NO mention of today’s attack. MSNBC has a link to the story in its general news stories. Yes just a link, no photos, no big story.
Will Obama make a peep about this? I didn’t hear any comments from him regarding the huge terrorist bust by the NYPD and FBI that occurred a couple of weeks ago. I heard… crickets. Did I miss something maybe?? Please do tell me if Obama said how proud he was of the terrorists being stopped. Please do tell me where I can find any praise for the people who thwarted this effort by these men that would potentially have caused thousands of American deaths. Please tell me where Obama or anyone in his administration admitted that this is a serious issue in our own country. I will gladly edit this article and insert the information here!
There is no comparison to these 2 American soldiers and Dr. Tiller. They joined to Army to protect ALL Americans and Dr. Tiller provided late term abortions for women to ‘protect’ their ‘mental health’ or whatever excuse these women used at the time. There is no justification for either of these murders. However, because the left is pro-abortion and is sympathetic to Muslim terrorists, there is no way you will see the thousands of outraged blogs over the death of an American soldier on American soil by an ‘American’ Muslim convert! THAT is what is truly outrageous!
No - Many will cheer the murder.
Grate article!
She is asking a lot of the questions and making the comments that are at this site also.
Good to see it somewhere else!
How could they? The MSM didn’t give them permission, and Obama completely ignored it.
Despicable!
“No - Many will cheer the murder.”
Just as they eulogized the Oakland cop killer. I mean, how many examples do you want.
There’s a reckoning coming.
The Modesto Bee published 3-1/2” item on page A-2 this morning. No mention that the perp is a muzzie, but they did supply his given name and muzzie name.
Two feature stories on the same page re: tiller and SCOTUS pick.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!
A great Conservative out there early with a comment.
Sarah Palin’s Statement Regarding William Long (Recruiter who was murdered)
6/2/09 | Sarah Palin
“The stories of two very different lives with similar fates crossed through the media’s hands yesterday - both equally important but one lacked the proper attention.
The death of 67-year old George Tiller was unacceptable, but equally disgusting was another death that police believe was politically and religiously motivated as well.
William Long died yesterday.
The 23-year old Army Recruiter was gunned down by a fanatic; another fellow soldier was wounded in the ambush. The soldiers had just completed their basic training and were talking to potential recruits, just as my son, Track, once did.
Whatever titles we give these murderers, both deserve our attention. Violence like that is no way to solve a political dispute nor a religious one. And the fanatics on all sides do great disservice when they confuse dissention with rage and death.”
Governor Sarah Palin
no
We live, mentally, in one America, liberals live in another. Would be nice if it would be geographic as well.
These recruiters were doing the same thing that my son did when he got out of basic. The Marines put him to work at the local recruiting station, doing Recruiting Assistance for the 2 weeks he was home after Boot Camp. I remember how glad I was that he was home for those short weeks, and didn’t worry about his safety. I feel terrible for the families of these young men.
It seems that once again Governor Palin is an American political servant that understands the events and issues in the same frame of mind as the average joe on the street.
While I am sure she has some staff help, we have millionaire Senators with giant media teams and past candidates with savvy to these instances who still can’t make up their minds as to what position to take, and yet it is an Alaska politician that cuts to the heart of the issue every time.
Will liberals be as outraged over the American soldier being killed as they are about Tiller?
Oh, please.
Remeber right after the buildings dropped on Manhattan, public service commercials showing celebs wrapped in flags told us not to hate Islam, hollywood told us we were haters and had to stop all our hate against muslims and the Nation of Islam was on Cspan spouting its venom about how bad was the USA? Remember, the libs were in a dither after 911 about the show of unity and USA flags?
The hatred of our country is so ingrained in libs, so deep into people’s ideas that logic cannot even budge it.
Liberals ran like he11 to Daddy (hilary almost ran over a cop) when they thought they were in danger of powder or planes...but as soon as they felt safe, changed their panties and dried out their shoes, it was back to “hate bush” “republicans have all our money” “when is that gazillionare snakeoil salesman, AlGore gonna take his rightful helm and save us!”.
Please. Liberals don’t even care about Tiller.
They just want power.
You are correct. Sarah has real world background
and a soldier son in Iraq.
Welcome to FR.
Recruiters are not in a military post. They are usually in strip malls sitting at desks.
Strike one.
no.
No, they also will brush aside any questions about Bill Ayers' terrorist background. Apparently a murder is only worthy of outrage if the victim is a politically-correct liberal or has a connection with a liberal agenda. All murders should spark outrage, but apparently not for liberals: Item:
"Larry Grathwohl was an FBI informant who infiltrated Ayer’s Weather Underground terrorist group in the 1970s. He’s holding a press conference in San Francisco today to talk about things Ayers and Dohrn would rather keep buried in the past.
"Here’s part of Grathwohl’s pre-released opening statement:
“The San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing occurred on February 16, 1970, when a pipe bomb filled with shrapnel detonated on the ledge of a window at the San Francisco Police Department’s Golden Gate Park station. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Investigators in the early ’70s said the bombing likely was the work of the Weather Underground, and not the Black Liberation Army,” but the crime was never solved. Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeant, was fatally wounded in its blast; Robert Fogarty, another police officer, was severely wounded in his face and legs and was partially blinded.”
“No one was ever charged with the crime although six years the FBI was close to indicting Ayers wife and fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn around six years ago.”
“I was in the Weather Underground as an informant/infiltrator for the FBI. I have testified, spoken, and written about the involvement of Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in that bombing…There is no statute of limitations on murder.”
No outrage from Obama & Co. on this.
“Will liberals be as outraged over the American soldier being killed as they are about Tiller?”
Never gonna happen.
“I’m no expert, but wouldn’t providing security for a military post be at the discretion of ...ohh, I don’t know...the military”?
...recruiting centers aren’t usually in military posts. The shootings could endanger those not in the Army yet. Save the abortionist, screw the evil military. No tears from the press or libs about the military, 21 gun salutes for the abortion Dr. Get it?!
