Laura Ingraham: Norway shooting "appears to be, once again, the work of Muslim extremists"

[Enrique]

they need to issue a correction: "In fact, the terrorist was on OUR side, our anti-Muslim, RW extremist side"

Friday night on The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Laura Ingraham did a brief report on the terrorist attacks that killed dozens of people in Norway. She began by saying, "In the 'Back of the Book' segment tonight, two deadly terror attacks in Norway, in what appears to be the work, once again, of Muslim extremists." She went on to describe the attacks, which involved a bombing in Oslo and a mass shooting.

Ingraham then immediately transitioned into a segment on Park51, the planned Islamic community center near the World Trade Center, by saying, "In the meantime, in New York City, the Muslims who want to build the mosque at Ground Zero scored a huge legal victory. A Manhattan judge dismissed a lawsuit by former New York City firefighter Timothy Brown, who was trying to stop construction of the mosque. Bill O'Reilly spoke with a lawyer for the Muslim developers yesterday."

1. She is a worthless ........

Yeah. And then some.

16. I suppose she'll blame liberals for the theft

of her Vatican-blessed jewelry, too.

2. WTF?

All currently available information indicates the perp is a 32 year-old, blond, blue-eyed, self described conservative Christian. Where in the name of arse does she get the idea to even suggest militant Islamists were involved?

Incidentally, I think the Norwegians are handling it well by trying to keep a lid on things until they have some clear answers, and not foster pointless speculation. But you try getting a 24-hour rolling news channel to even consider not pointlessly speculating...

3. I don't think

I'm going to be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for a correction from that whack-job.

[PA Democrat]

4. Laura Ingraham pronouncement appears to be, once-again, the work of a

a hate mongering rabid extremist.

5. No Laura - he's one of yours

Now go Cheney yourself and STFU

[City Lights]

6. You LIE!

IMO, Big Ed was spot on about you!

FO!

[marmar]

7. But all of the MSM was so eager to pin this one on 'Islamist Jihadists'......

...... I heard virtually no mention of right-wing homegrown hate-motivated terror in the early hours of the crisis.

Yet my friend from Sweden immediately texted me after it happened: "Sounds like a Norwegian nationalist to me."

[malaise]

9. There were people right here on DU ready and willing to

blame this on Muslims.

21. +1000

8. Like she cares

10. New (corrected) Headline:

The Killings Are the Work of People Who Think Like Laura Ingraham"

[KharmaTrain]

11. It's What Her Sheep Want To Hear...

Faux viewers don't want to hear facts they want non-stop affirmation of their fears, phobias and hates. They live in their own world of soundbites and talking points where its all black and white...greys are automatically defaulted to one color or the other. It's how you convince people to vote against their own best interests.

26. Bet Ingram's dumb-ass analysis sent her sheep into a frenzy of gun polishing. nt

[deutsey]

12. That's how folks in Orwell's Oceania roll n/t

[Faygo Kid]

13. Her viewers will continue to deny reality, like the FReepers are doing today.

Don't bother going over there; I did once this morning and that was enough. They don't accept reality. They are sure it was Muslims and this is all a lie to protect them. Sickening. These are the people who are Tea Partiers; no wonder we can't get a clean vote on the debt ceiling. They're completely insane.

[denverbill]

17. Been there, done that.

What's amazing is the bizarre depths they go to to deny reality. Some claim it's a set-up, some claim 'right-wing' in Europe is actually liberal. And of course, despite the perp's own statements, they say he's not a Christian.

[hayrow]

14. In Laura Ingraham's World...

The Norwegian government would now be sending bills to each Moslim resident of the Norway for the costs the police incurred determining that there was no Moslims involved with the terrorism.

[denverbill]

15. Will Laura Ingraham repudiate right-wing extremists?

I doubt it.

[OHdem10]

18. Ignoring the truth is characteristic of the Right.

[Dawson Leery]

30. +1

[spanone]

19. fundamentalist christian, laura darling

[zacherystaylor]

20. Typical of Ingraham

I still think it is too early to jump to many conclusions but it already seems clear that it is probably the fear mongering from the right that is more responsible for this than the Muslims.

I won't rush to consider the possibility that jumping to conclusions to quickly contributes to this but it should be considered after their are more facts in; or in general terms about6 past activities that have already been investigated.

[FourScore]

22. Laura Ingraham appears, once again, to be an idiot. n/t

[Skidmore]

23. I strongly suspect that Laura Ingraham is an Al Qaeda operative

planted to disseminate disinformation and to foment conflict. Two can play that game.

[MaeScott]

24. K and R. nt

[spanone]

25. will the wingers be protesting the building of churches now?

[treestar]

27. Is she going to admit she was wrong?

Being a right winger, I doubt it.

[Faygo Kid]

28. BWAHAHAHAH

Sorry, not to be disrespectful, but Sean Hannity will admit he's wrong before Laura Ingraham ever does so. In other words, never.

Gawd, she is a slimy piece of work.

[MadMaddie]

29. Gosh wrong again eh Laura? There will be no correction

there will be just another event so they can blame it on Muslims, Blacks, Gays, women etc..
