Fox News Inspires Mosque Arsonist!

The propaganda on America's "Fair & Balanced" newsroom, Fox News, must be quite effective. Randall Linn, an Indiana man who pled guilty to setting a fire in a mosque, told the court that the reason for his shenanigans was that he got "riled up" as a result of watching Fox News. When the judge asked him if was acquainted with any Muslims or Islam, he responded "No, I only know what I hear on Fox News and what I hear on radio." This sterling example of the kind of American patriotism touted on Fox Nation said that “Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up" and "most Muslims are terrorists and don’t believe in Jesus Christ.” Who says that Fox viewers aren't well informed!

The entire unedited tape is available now. It shows what happened all the way through. Just head to youtube and type in “unedited union assault footage”. And your post says nothing about the 45 beers he drank before doing what he did. Pretty sure at that point he’s drunk enough to pull a Berkowitz and think a demon possessing his neighbors dog told him to do it. This isnt about FOX news, its about a drunk idiot too stupid to comprehend the real world without some substance to distort his view of it.

45 beers in 6 hours. 9 an hour. I’m surprised drunk dufus didn’t put out his own arson with all the peeing he had to be doing.

You don’t mind if I call you U, do you? U, the union tape thing, edited or not, is something I like to call “when idiots collide.” BS begat BS. Happens every day with two people with opposing views.

Now, U, this case is different because, well, it’s now part of an official court record. This guy confessed that watching nothing but Fox and other right-wing media filled his little brain full of incorrect information that resulted in him committing felonies.

Got it, U?

U, I posted an 8 minute video for you three times that discredits Crowder. You moved to another thread and tried to claim you didn’t see it all three times. So how about you retire that little talking point?

And what did we leave out? I spent hours reviewing everything covering this, Linn told the police that he was motivated by an image of Islam given to him by Fox News. What’s the best case scenario in that being his defense?

After Knoxville, Tiller, Williams, Huatree, Harris, Kane and Ready? Not good for Fox. Especially with their reputation for hate speech against religions that aren’t Christian enough for them.

But remember, kids: this is the LIBRUL MEDIA’S fault!!

{The librul media, simply by being the librul media, forced Linn to listen to Fox/hate radio, in order to find someone who fit his preconceived notions}
