They are both, of course.
B Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: Are They Pro-Islamofascist or Just Stupid? Posted By Roger L Simon On October 30, 2010 @ 10:18 pm In Uncategorized | 118 <http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2010/10/30/john-stewart-and-stephen-col bert-are-they-pro-islamofascist-or-just-stupid/?print=1#comments_controls> Comments Much of the blogosphere is appalled, as well it should be, at the selection of Yusuf Islam né Cat Stevens to perform at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colberts now absurdly named Rally to Restore Sanity. As the world well knows, Islam/Stevens is the man who endorsed the fatwa on Salman Rushdie and on more than one occasion said he wished he could carry it <http://pajamasmedia.com/eddriscoll/2010/10/30/video-riding-the-peace-train/ > [1]out and murder <http://pajamasmedia.com/eddriscoll/2010/10/30/video-riding-the-peace-train/ > Rushdie himself [1]. And if that isnt enough and it should be Islam is a misogynist who won <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg38828.html> t talk to women [2]. (Take another listen to the paternalistic Wild World if you want to hear the psychological roots of his profound religious belief.) So whats up with Stewart and Colbert? Why would they have a man like that singing at their event? Is this PC cultural relativism gone berserk? (Hey, dude, its cool. Yusufs into the fatwa thing, you dig? He loves Khomeini just like Foucault did. All cultures are equal, you know. Who are we to judge?) If thats so, why not invite Khalid Sheik Mohammed to perform? He actually took the head off Daniel Pearl. He didnt just talk the talk. He walked the walk. But I think theres another explanation for Islams appearance and its much simpler: Stewart and Colbert are dumb and uniniformed. Although they pretend to be more, they are just mildly talented entertainers with the depth of a petri dish who rely on their writers to stoke them with material and ideas. And no one told them Cat Stevens supported killing a fellow artist merely for exercising free expression. And unlike many of you, they simply didnt know themselves. They thought he was, you know, just a peaceful ex-hippie dude who went Islamic spiritual instead of zen. (Okay, that irritated some people, but so what? It would be nice to see them squirm.) Dont believe me that Stewart and Colbert are that dumb and uninformed? Well, I dont have any concrete proof, obviously, but think back to a Daily Show of 2008 when Stewart told his guest, Cliff May, that Truman was a war criminal for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan. Well, it soon became very evident that Stewart knew next to nothing about Truman or the history of the bomb and Bill Whittle made short work of him on a PJTV video <http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=56&load=1808> [3] that went viral. A day or two later, Stewart had to retract his inane statement. So if the comic had less than a high school students knowledge about the end of World War II, do you think he knows much about Salman Rushdie, Cat Stevens, and fatwas? I dont have any proof, as I said, but Im certainly suspicious. Of course these are the supposedly cool leaders of the liberal or progressive, call-it-what- you-want, movement right now. They are above the fray, smarter than the rest of us, and anxious to return us all to sanity. Spare me. Back in the day they used to call the Republicans the dumb party and the Democrats the evil party. The way things are going, I think they got it two-thirds right. There are two dumb parties and one evil one. _____ Article printed from Roger L.
