I am going to
propose a scenario for you. You ready? Here we go…
A video surfaces
of an Occupy Wall Street protester sneaking up on a NYPD police
armored personnel carrier on a calm winter morning, there is no
combat, there is no action taking place at all… and then he
whips out a RPG and fires, point blank, taking out the cops in the
carrier and putting at risk any civilians in the area with the threat
of flying shrapnel and debris.
Let me ask you:
do you think our MSM would show that video and then try to make those
Occupy Wall Street protesters out to be heroes? Or, do you think that
the MSM outlet, let’s say NBC, would consider that video is proof
that Occupy Wall Street and the associated groups who support them
are actually domestic terrorists?
Is there any
real question as to how the story would be handled? Of course
not.
(More likely,
here in America and certainly in New York, the REAL story would be
that the NYPD Intelligence division got an informant to find a
homeless guy who was a bit mentally ill and then framed him for the
attack so that Bloomberg could look “tough on terror”)
Right now on
MSNBC and NBC’s front pages is a video of just such an action. The
only difference is it takes place in Homs and the ones firing the RPG
are the “protesters” in Syria.
NBC portrays
them as heroic for this act of terrorism. Like Lybia, this is the new
“terrorist as heroes” meme being force-fed to the American public
on a daily basis.
Terrorist as
Hero
