Henican On Mosque: Pundits Shouldn't Be As 'Ignorant' As Other Americans
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Talk about your teachable moments, the Ground Zero mosque controversy has taught us in just what contempt many in the liberal media hold their fellow Americans.

As I noted here, last week on MSNBC, Cenk Uygur accused Americans who oppose the mosque of being "ignorant." This weekend on Fox News Watch, Ellis Henican also used the i-word, saying that when it comes to the mosque, pundits shouldn't be as "ignorant" as other Americans. Jim Pinkerton pounced, pointing out the condescension of which Henican had convicted himself.

We are not the ignorant ones. Unfortunately, they will relize this eventually.

I am not surprised.

Leftists are driven by their belief that they are more intelligent than and morally superior to us rubes out here in flyover country.

You could present them with a notarized IQ test with a 150 score and they would STILL tell you that you’re stupid.

If we’re ignorant, what does that say about people that make their women wear a bag over their head, hang homosexuals while encouraging man-boy pedophilia, can’t eat bacon, and blow up innocents to earn a seat near their god? According to the “open-minded” media, those people are enlightened and worthy of praise.

Quisling idiots! It will so much fun watching them whine “but I supported you” as they are being beheaded after the shariah law that they celebrate comes to America.

Funny that the Islamic Terrorist rights supporters always refer to the ones honest about Islam as “ignorant”

Wonder if any of these Libs picked up a Qu’ran? Maybe they are pro-Islam because they like a Prophet who is a pedophile

I wonder who'll be ignorant when the muzzies start blasting Allah Akbar from their obama victory mosque loud speakers and the sound reverberates off the walls all around the WTC?

These people are idiots..

Enis Pellican is a condescending-elitist, screaming liberal who should be among the 10+% of the unemployed.

Why traitorous dirtbags like that get facetime is incomprehensible.

If a terrorist bomb blew up Rockfeller Center and the loss of life were in the thousands, would these elitists still be calling for a mosque be built across the street from the destruction site.

Most of these “enlightened” need to spend a few years each in Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Cuba and Pakistan. Then get back to us.

There are some complex principles here that don't get played out easily in a left-right angry exchange on cable television

Oooh! Noooo! Don't tell me it's......it's... COMPLEX!

You mean the pundits don't do a good job with complex issues?

Ellis Henican is a condescending,

He is the metro-sexual that first introduced me to the new feminine phrases
such as , embrace an idea, celebrate a thought, reach out to an associate

My gosh, now look, every commentator and news reader uses those touchy feely terms.

They should hire more Muslims. I bet they are lacking in that department.
