In the global war on terror, information is everything.
A single tip from the public can save countless lives. A terrorist could be right in front of your own face. That’s why the FBI rolled out a new ad campaign on billboards and buses. It shows the faces of 16 of the world's most wanted terrorists.
Some, however, say they're being depicted in a less that flattering light.
“You look at the pictures, they're all one color of folks,” said Congressman Jim McDermott of Seattle. McDermott has asked the FBI to pull the ads, calling them “racist” because there are no white people.
“Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. If you're gonna talk about terrorists, then don’t just talk about people with brown skin,” he said. “How many white faces were there on there?”
Truth be told, there is at least one. His name is Omar Hammami. The FBI lists him as a 29 year old native of Alabama, but it’s hard to tell behind the beard and head wrap. The ad also shows three men of Asian descent. Of the 32 people on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list, only six are not of Middle Eastern origin.
Some say the poster isn't racist. It's reality.
“If these are the faces of terrorism, you have to go with what the truth is,” said Dale Cavanaugh after seeing the ad. “It's too bad that it comes across as racist.”
McDermott says he hasn't gotten a response from the FBI about his request to pull the ads. Calls from KING 5 to the agency were not returned Thursday.
“Baghdad” Jim McDermott is a long time supporter of islamic terrorists.
Sometimes - the truth hurts. That’s real. Politically correct liberals can’t handle the truth.
Keep in mind that this is the same scumbag who blames tea party targeting by the IRS on the tea partiers.
F him. He is typical of many left wing lunatics.
Yep
99% of what Liberals and people of color call “racist” is actually reality. As time goes by and internet reporters peel away the false narratives the propagandist media has constructed, more and more people will become race realists and will no longer be scared away by the racist label that Liberals affix to people to silence debate.
I’m sick of these liberal bastards. Panties in a wad CONSTANTLY over stupid things like “how many of a race” do you show for this crime or that, whether it’s actual people or representing the whole.
These bastards really need to get out and make their own damn country. I’m sick of them.
Jim McDermott is a criminal. last guy anyone would hire to do an ethnographic workup on a bunch of people.
Truth doesn’t advance their agenda.
Liberals believe terrorism is a political issue. People like McDermott want white males listed who are TP terrorists. For him Muslims are devout religious believers who are offended by Christians and Jews. Color him mad as a hatter.
The problem is us crackers just are not “Represent’n” in the world of crime.
Satan vs the human race, racist!
Islame Delenda Est.
Typical pig McDermott.
He’s still alive? When’s the Navy gonna christen his namesake ship?
McDermott’s goofy, commie lib antics are getting old and tiresome. Do America a favor Jimmy. Move to Baghdad with your buddies.
McDermott continues to be a total utterly stupid @zzhole. His voters must be @zzholes too.
30/32 = 93.75%
Not to profile is stupid. People should identify Muslims as more likely to be be terrorists as that is the reality.
His voters are the urban citizens of Seattle. He regularly wins with about 80% of the vote, and he wins because he accurately reflects the values of his district.
