Bill Press: Anti-Muslim filmmakers are 'no better than al-Qaida' (cons swarming comments section)



WEB EXCLUSIVE—Bill Press notes that the president's reactions to the attacks in Libya have been "swift and severe." He says, however, that it's not enough to get the terrorists. We must also react to the anti-Muslim Christian group in Southern California who made the video in the first place. Bill says, "Those Christians are no better than al-Qaida ... in their own way, they are terrorists." Every weekday morning on Current TV at 6e/3p

Currently this video has 44 likes and 44 dislikes. The top comment with 18 upvotes: "Too many on the Left are VERY WILLING to criticize THE BIBLE and Christians in America but are all too reluctant to hold ISLAM and/or fundamentalist MUSLIMS accountable. It's disturbingly PC. ALL religious extremists and religions should be held to account!" I wonder if a liberal wrote this comment, but judging from the other comments sites like Pajamas Media probably linked to this video:

"ISLAM is at fault here, religion fundamentalists are a plague on the earth. Politicians like Hillary are weak willed and overly PC"

"Its cowardice mainly. Christians forgive and pray for their critics. Muslims behead, burn flags and have violent protests. Both statements are generalisations but they give an idea why Christianity is open for criticism and Islam is not. We should not look for a fight but when the fight comes, there should be no backing down. The violent Muslims are kind of like little kids who cannot get their way so they use physical and verbal abuse to hurt others."

"Well it seems Bill is a fucking idiot. Free speech is now terrorism?! WTF?! I say burn the Koran, burn the bible, burn the Torah and make films that insult all religions. Oh yeah, and make a film with Bill getting fucked in the ass with the Koran, bible and Torah. Fuck this idiot!"

One good comment:

"They should have known better but they chose not to. People who live in a Christian majority bully state will always be insensitive to the actual situation in a Muslim-dominated Middle East. What can the Muslims do to Terry Jones? He is thousands of miles away from Iran, Libya and Egypt. You do not fear lions if you live in Alaska."

Bill Press has been doing that since his days at KABC.

Given his background, he knows better. He should also of known that the Benghazi attacks were at least in part planned ahead.

He is chasing rating...

are there 44 liberals, who aren't paid for the torture, that listen to conservative radio/tv?

Then again, I am guessing there are some "liberals" who may disagree with equating christian wingnuts with al queda.

I mean that I am surprised there are 44 dislikes, presumably conservatives who listened to this segment. I cannot imagine 44 liberals listening to Rush or Hannity for any length of time.
