Memo to Fauxheads: Before you get worked up over imam's remarks, check the Iraq body count. We do have blood on our hands.

The Foxheads -- with Megyn Kelly leading the torchlight parade on her (ahem) morning "news" show -- were all worked up over another quote pulled out of the files of Imam Fiesal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the so-called "Ground Zero mosque":

"We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than Al Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims," said Imam Fiesal Abdul Rauf, speaking at the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Center during a question and answer session dedicated to what sponsors say was a dialogue to improve relations between America and the Muslim world.

"You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations," said Rauf, who called himself a spokesman for Islam.

Now, one may or may not quibble with Rauf's example -- namely, the prewar sanctions against Iraq that Saddam indeed used as an excuse for letting his people starve.

But there's no doubt that we have innocent Iraqi blood on our hands. At last count, the toll stood between 97,000-106,000 civilians killed in Iraq because we visited war on their country. In 2009 alone -- a year in which the toll decreased -- there were 4,644 civilian deaths recorded. So much for comparisons to the 3,000 killed on 9/11.

I'm a little surprised there's any question about this at all. But then in Fox-land, America under Bush did nothing but good and kind things around the world.

1. Wow.....the blond bimbo actually let her guest speak a full sentence?!?!?

Those are two snippy, bitchy women, IMHO. The gentleman in the interview certainly explained in clear terms, what is at stake here. Of course it went right over their heads...but ANYTHING would have, as they have "their agenda" they need to keep pushing.

Divide and conquer. Goerbel would have been proud. Hate the blacks! Hate the Hispanics! Hate the Muslims! Hate the union workers! Pretty soon, there'll be nothing left except "the master race". The only group ignored (on the surface) or the Jews. They don't dare come out against them. That's already been done.

2. Hardly....

...look.... I watched this fox station until about twelve years ago, when I realized how Hannity would always look like he beat up on their guinea pig Colmes. Fuck their fair & balanced??!! Thank God, and I think i'm a Christian; that I became a Democrat and stopped watching them as my primary station for news. I watch them once in a while just see how fair & balanced they "ARE NOT".

Let me note this one thought. It is my assumption that the Bush regime allowed many Arabs to immigrate to this Land to eventually become U.S. Citizens. Why can't they build a church as our forefathers did on the land they chose to? Why??

Where are they to go to church? WHERE?? Oh!! I get it, they should go to our church's. Most of those idiots would cringe at that too!!!!!

3. By the way...
