Islamophobia
It's the end of the world as we know it
This excerpt from About That DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremism signals the end of the world:
Some bloggers, prompted by World Net Daily, are reading this as an attempt to “smear half of the country or more as kooks for criticizing the government’s handling of the economy.”
That’s ludicrous. First, this DHS assessment was begun more than a year ago, before Barack Obama was even nominated. It has absolutely nothing to do with “tea parties,” and it was not done at the behest of the Obama administration.
It's part of a pattern of posts that I've seen popped up on memeorandum that have left not scandalized but bewildered and utterly confused. I don't know what to make of titles like Horowitz Unloads on Obama Derangement Syndrome, Bush Bowed Too, Romney: Don't Wish for Obama to Fail, To Everything There is a Season and a two-parter about Glenn Beck: About Glenn Beck's Extremist Rhetoric and About Glenn Beck's Extremist Rhetoric, Part 2.
Why am I so confused? The source is Little Green Footballs.

Right Wing Christian Fanatics Gone Wild: Intolerant Republicans
I didn't know this but last week was self-proclaimed "Islamo-facism awareness week," a right wing intolerance fest dreamed up by extremists Ann Coulter and David Horowitz. I only know that these fools were strutting around advocating intolerance because of an email I got from the organization Jews on First.
There is something so disgusting about the right wing fear of just about everything that isn't white, male, Protestant Christian. Ann Coulter is the perfect example of this. When we hear her condemning so-called Islamo-fascism, let's remember that she is the idiot who said right after 9/11 that:
"We should invade their [Muslim's] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
And what did she choose to advocate during her "Islamo-facism awareness week?" Anti-Semitism. Yes, she attacks Jews as part of her paranoia against Islam. Last week she told Donny Deutsch:
"we should throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians."
Ann Coulter also claimed that Christians want Jews "to be perfected" by converting to Christianity.
When she was challenged about how bat-shit crazy and offensive this was, she "explained:"
"No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be. I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe -- this is just a statement of what the New Testament is -- is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament." Coulter later said: "We consider ourselves perfected Christians. For me to say that for you to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian is not offensive at all."
