Media Mash: 'Compassion' for Al Qaeda Edition
NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell has seen a lot of dopey stuff from the liberal media in his nearly 25 years battling liberal media bias. But Matt Lauer's question to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Wednesday takes the cake.
Discussing the matter of arming the rebels in Libya, the "Today" host allowed that there may well be al Qaeda operatives among the anti-Qadhafi forces, but asked, "would it not be a sign to them [the rebels] or showing them that the United States has compassion and we're willing to use our military might to help all people?"
After watching a clip of that exchange on the March 31 edition of "Hannity," Bozell couldn't contain his laughter.
"Sean this is one of the most astonishingly naive questions I've ever heard!" the Media Research Center founder exclaimed.
"He's saying if we arm al Qaeda they'll like us better! What is going on over at NBC?!"

They're smokin' some serious wacky weed or perhaps something more potent. Definitely hallucinogenic.

This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS! How naive, stupid, and downright WRONG for Lauer to even think or wish that, let alone say it? I thought I had heard EVERYTHING!

Their inability to understand how Al Qaeda Jihadists will never take Western compassion into consideration makes them take these foolish positions. Al Qaeda has the worst kind of evil, vile hatred for the West and they recruit the lowest possible forms of humanity to kill in the name of that hate.
The liberal philosophy of, if we play nice, they will play nice too doesn't exhibit peace and understanding. It demonstrates dangerous stupidity.

Lauer will not endure the conservative wave that is about to wash over the media. When the tide has turned and our beloved FREE AMERICA has endured, many of these half-wit left wing pundits are going to be so embarrased. They think they won't be. But geez..... really. Laughing stock for the rest of your career and life. Lauer, Matthews, Mitchell, I almost have compassion for them, except I believe they are fully aware of the damage they are doing to our beloved FREE AMERICA. They aren't just useful idiots anymore. They are self proclaimed soldiers against America.
