Brian Kilmeade Wants To Bug Mosques

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on April 22, 2013 · Flag

Brian Kilmeade deliberately upped the Islamophobia this morning when he said to attorney and Fox News contributor Peter Johnson, Jr., "I think that we should be able to put in listening devices in (mosques). Is that possible?" Kilmeade also offered a note of sympathy to New York State Senator Greg Ball who had earlier said that "red-blooded Americans" want to torture Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Johnson batted aside the possibility of bugging mosques and he characterized Ball's comments as “kind of a wacky” and “kind of irresponsible” statement. Johnson said, “We don’t torture people here in America." But then he added, "We may engage in enhanced interrogation."

Kilmeade, however, added, "I can understand the sentiment."

"We don't torture" Johnson now said, "Yeah, the sentiment is fine but on balance it doesn’t help us."

Apparently, as far as Johnson is concerned, it's OK to want to torture, so long as it's clear you won't actually do it.

If you can’t adhere to the principles that you claim to be fighting for…then you need to stop fighting.

Not that I would describe what these talking heads do as “fighting”…it’s more of an antagonizing whine.

The “invention” of this new category of “enemy combattant” and the associated establishment of an American concentration camp on Guantanamo are blots on the reputation of the USA.

People like Kilmeade simply do not (want to) understand how badly this tendency of RWingers to justify the violation of basic human rights has already tarnished the image of the USA.

Regarding the charge against Tsarnaev (use of WMDs), I can’t for the life of me perceive much difference between a bomb and other things like assault weapons used at a packed theater or drones that shoot up people’s houses in the middle of the night.

And Kilmeade is at it again this morning. In another segment with 3 Euphemisms for a Penis, Kilmeade seemed a bit upset that Tsarnaev would not be tried as an enemy combatant and that he had been read his rights. He then went in to exclaim that the whole public safety thing is out the window and, “next thing you know a high profile lawyer will be waltzing in there making a zillion dollars off him.”

Doesn’t Kilmeade actually listen to the news or does he just pull stuff out of his ass?! It’s ALREADY been reported everywhere (even by FOX “news”!) that the Federal Public Defenders office will represent Tsarnaev.

While Kilmeade proceeded to get even more agitated with his voice going up into the soprano range, Penis3 injected some logic and consideration for the constitutional rights of citizens into the discussion.

But Kilmeade wasn’t having any of it. In fact, he actually stated that, “not everyone is worthy of the constitutional rights that we have.”

Is Kilmeade the dark haired one who isn’t Steve Doocy? Or is he the dark haired one who isn’t Jeff Daniels?
I get confused when he says the stupidest effing things imaginable!
I wonder what Nugent or Larry Gatlin thinks about THE GUBBINMNT “bugging” mosques and or churches?
How(why) does Kilmeade still have a job that doesn’t require crayons or food taster at the CDC?

By the way, everyone below this post NAILED IT!

If anyone is good at bugging, it’s the News Corporation’s former News International staffers.

These Fox “News” frauds are in no position to talk about bugging a mosque, given their own legal troubles in the U.K.

Let’s talk about the catholic church’s troubles with pedophile priests. We don’t see cafeteria catholic Kilmeade speak up on the dangers of child predators in the catholic church.

NOTE TO KILMEADE

Let’s bug the catholic church. Surely, we can catch the pedophile priests in the act. But you are probably against that, you hypocrite.

@ mj: Even more importantly, let’s bug all the Catholic Churches in this country. After all, since the Church’s prominent Bishops and Archbishops and Cardinals all want to force Catholic views on the American people by coercive tactics (such as denying Communion to pro-choice politicians and donating vast sums of money to anti-gay groups and political measures), the Church should be treated just as we did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War by “eavesdropping” on their ambassadors and consuls and “registered agents.” If the Vatican wants to use its clergy as de facto representatives of its political and social policies, then that clergy need to be treated with the same “respect” we gave to Soviet agents (both the officially recognized KGB agents doing their typical spying as well as the “unofficial” agents that fooled pretty much everyone but the longtime CIA and FBI people).

“I think that we should be able to put in listening devices in (mosques). Is that possible?”

Why, of course, Kill-me — provided you have a WARRANT and PROBABLE CAUSE, that is.

Um, you WERE intending to do so after obtaining a warrant, right? In case you haven’t noticed, Dumbya ain’t in office anymore; the days of warrantless wiretapping of US citizens are over.

Of course, Kill-me, depending on the location, you may hear services at the Mosque in one or more of the following languages: Arabic, Farsi, Pashto, or Urdu — hope you got translators handy.

And I agree with Aria: why limit it to just Mosques? I say, let’s bug Westboro Baptist Church — who knows what interesting things will be heard . . .

Hey Brian,

Can I bug Christian Churches to stop serial killers?

No, that’s somehow different, despite that fact that the rate for Christians becoming serial killers is much greater than the rate of Muslim terrorists in the US?

Explain how that’s different, and I’ll get back to ya. Pass it on, Intern who’s watching this site for Fox.

Geez. And Kilmeade is the same right-wing tool who thought that BushCo. should have an “Office of Censorship” to keep the press in line. Constitution be damned! Let’s not forget that Kilmeade said, “See, I’m more into the ends justifying the means.” Ugh, the stoopid – it hurts.
