Fox News: Worried about Gizmo

You’ve seen the movie Gremlins, right? If you’re anything like me, you’re wondering to yourself right now, “What if Al Qaeda has also seen that movie? What if the decide to unleash a Gremlin attack on the United States?”

Super-Patriot and Fox-News contributor Bo Dietl is with me:

Dietl said, "I think that this liberal bunch of people out there, worrying about these people over here, in Gizmo [sic] prison down there, worrying about a guy being blindfolded, are they worried about those poor people going to work this morning to make money for their family, that were blown apart, probably children also?

Can't beat that sentence. Only terrorists use periods! Fox then sought commentary from a homeless man who followed up with: “Blarggggg!!!!! The spiders are eating my mind!!!”

And how do we protect ourselves from the Gremlin/Mind Spider army? Profile brown people of course!

Cavuto asked why Dietl insists then, that NYC will be attacked. Dietl said, "I feel as though we were, and still are, a target." The only way to avoid an attack is "with intelligence." Dietl said people need to look for suspicious packages, or "I'm sorry to say, profiling, Neil. If there are six Middle Eastern men in a grocery store down the block together," and they "come and go" and "act suspicious," call the police. "I'm sorry Mr. Middle Easterner. If you're an American, if you're here legally, if you're doing the right thing, I'm sorry, you're gonna get investigated." That's the "only way we're gonna stop an attack in New York."

Yeah, I mean, how often do you see Middle Eastern people in grocery stores? Especially grocery stores in Middle Eastern neighborhoods. You know, “coming and going?” Who does that? Terrorists, that’s who. Hungry ones.

And I love the warning for people who “act suspicious” (sic). How does one “act suspicious?” Like, wave a machete around? Wear a mask everywhere you go? This guy scares me, can I call the police on his ass?

He ends with this sage advice: Dietl said "England is our brother country." We should "be strong together." "I'm so happy," he said, kissing Cavuto's you-know-what, "about the markets ending up," but "this should get us more stirred up and more fighting and we should get really mad now, and really pissed off and go back over there and drop some more bombs and wipe out that Taliban a little faster.

This should get us more stirred up and more fighting...arghh...brain..hemmorage...Gremlins...gah...

An example of Muslims acting suspicious: Hungry terrorists. Is there any value in investigating people like this? Below are some quotes from the article of young British-Muslims interviewed in a London suberb 15 months ago:

"As far as I'm concerned, when they bomb London, the bigger the better. I know it's going to happen because Sheikh bin Laden said so. Like Bali, like Turkey, like Madrid - I pray for it, I look forward to the day."
                - Abdul Haq, social worker
"I would like to see the Mujahideen coming into London and killing thousands, whether with nuclear weapons or germ warfare. And if they need a safehouse, they can stay in mine - and if they need some fertiliser [for a bomb], I'll tell them where to get it."
                - Abu Yusuf, financial adviser
"When I watched those planes go into the Twin Towers, I felt elated. That magnificent action split the world into two camps: you were either with Islam and al Qaeda, or with the enemy."
                - Sayful Islam, unemployed jerkoff

This isn't about skin color; it's about culture and ideology. Contrary to what you and Mr. Dietl may or may not believe, there exists a middle ground between alienating the Muslim community and doing nothing.

And for the record, Bo Dietl is with MSNBC, not Fox.

Cam - All of your examples are specific and involve people voicing support for violence. Not in and of itself a crime, but enought to warrant an investigation I think.

Bo Dietl (who was on Fox in the transcript I quoted) wants no such thing. For Dietl, people who "come and go" from places like "a grocery store" amounts to "suspicious behaivor." That's bullshit. He also makes a call for blanket profiling.

You've been to Brooklyn, right? How many Lebanese grocery stores are there? Hundreds? And how many middle easterners do you see in gas stations/laundromats/dry cleaners? 10,000? That would be a conservative estimate.

Good luck to Dietl and all others who want to investigate everyone for "suspicious behaivor."

Bo Dietl is a paid actor/producer/writer. He's currently producing "several projects", according to MSNBC. Do you really think there are real human beings that actually talk like that? I'm more inclined to believe its yet another acting job. Esp. since he's a regular on Imus in the Morning.
