MSNBC is going nuts. Right after the election they called for
armed revolution against the government. Now Chris Matthews is comparing
the Tea Party to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Okay, so Chris thinks the Tea Party wants to establish Sharia Law? Is this guy losing his mind? Does he realize just how nuts he sounds. Well, in all seriousness, Obama sounds like he is a strong supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, with his constant calls for Egyptian President Mubarak to step down
"NOW", so maybe he's a closet Tea Party member. That's how insane this sounds. Isn't there supposed to be something resembling journalistic integrity in our news? To pass off gossip as fact is the height of irresponsibility.
I remember last month when everyone was up in arms about the vitriol in media and politics. What the **** is this then????
At a Code Pink rally last week they said that they would
cut off Clarence Thomas's toes and feed them to him, string him up and his wife too, and that they need to send him back to the fields. They said they wanted riots in the streets like in Egypt.
Seems the left is who is spewing hatred, not the right.
I'm counting to ten and by the time I get to ten I bet somebody will accuse me of spewing hatred. Maybe even call me a racist.
Wake the **** up people. I'm not asking for MSNBC to be taken off the air, but they need to tone this violent hate-speech down. It feeds the lunatics on the left with enough violent rhetoric to keep them going for years, even decades.
The only way we can get them to stop is by not tuning in. Then maybe their advertisers will bail on them.
All I can say is don't talk to me about Fox. Nothing they say even compares to this.
Wanna know what these idiots are saying these days? Talking about crosshairs is peanuts compared to what these numbnuts are saying:

The Muslim Brotherhood and the Future of Egypt
By: Dillon Burroughs; ©2011
Should the West be concerned at the Muslim Brotherhoods heightened role in the protests and reformed government of Egypt? Based on past actions, the answer is a resounding yes.
Should the West be concerned at the Muslim Brotherhoods heightened role in the protests and reformed government of Egypt? Based on past actions, the answer is a resounding yes.
According to The Jerusalem Post, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam on Monday that he would like to see the Egyptian people prepare for war against Israel.[1]
Dore Gold of the Jerusalem Center for Public affairs notes the following concerns in his recent report:
Since January 28, the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement has become more prominent, with its support of Mohamed El Baradei to lead the opposition forces against the government. In the streets of Cairo, Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators disdainfully call people like El Baradei "donkeys of the revolution" (hamir al-thawra) - to be used and then pushed away - a scenario that sees the Muslim Brotherhood exploit El Baradei in order to hijack the Egyptian revolution at a later stage.
There has been a great deal of confusion about the Muslim Brotherhood. In the years after it was founded in 1928, it developed a "secret apparatus" that engaged in political terrorism against Egyptian Copts as well as government officials. In December 1948, the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud al-Nuqrashi Pasha. It also sought to kill Egyptian leader Abdul Nasser in October 1954.
Former Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammad Akef declared in 2004 his "complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America." In 2001, the Muslim Brotherhood's publication in London, Risalat al-Ikhwan, featured at the top of its cover page the slogan: "Our Mission: World Domination." This header was changed after 9/11.
The current Supreme Guide, Muhammad Badi', gave a sermon in September 2010 stating that "the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death, just as the enemies pursue life."[2]
But just who is the Muslim Brotherhood? Historically, the Muslim Brotherhood was, founded in 1928 by the Egyptian schoolteacher/activist Hasan al-Banna (a devout admirer of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis), the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)a Sunni entityis one of the oldest, largest and most influential Islamist organizations in the world.[3]
Throughout its history, the Muslim Brotherhood has been involved in various acts of violent jihad. For example, in December 1948, a Brotherhood member assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmud Fahmi Nuqrashi.[4] In 1954, Muslim Brotherhood member Abdul Munim Abdul Rauf tried to assassinate President Nasser.[5] The Brotherhoods mission statement, which is permanently posted on its official Arabic-language website, defines the Brotherhood as a Muslim community (jamaah) that preaches for and demands the rule of Allahs law (tahkim shar allah).[6]
Many others have noted this as well. This week, Epicenter author Joel Rosenberg appeared on FOX News with Neil Cavuto to explain how the Muslim Brotherhood appears to be co-opting the non-violent protest of demonstrators in Cairo.[7] Though originally not highly involved, the Muslim Brotherhood now seems to see an opportunity to emerge as a major player as Egypts national leadership changes. As Rosenberg notes, the current American presidential administration will be put to the test to decide how to negotiate with the new potential leaders of Egypts government with the Muslim Brotherhood in the mix.
Simply put, if the Muslim Brotherhood is now claiming to be a non-violent participant in the reform government of Egypt, it will be a major break from its past tradition of jihadic acts of violence. Of significance to Western supporters of the Egyptian protest, it is important to note that democratic, free elections and religious freedom would not necessarily both follow from a change in Egyptian national leadership.
As many have learned from the War in Iraq, democratic elections in prominently Muslim nations can even lead to increased religious persecution among Christians or other non-Muslim religious groups. While we as Christians may support democracy in Egypt, we must be careful not to equate democracy with Christian liberty. In fact, if the Muslim Brotherhood takes a leadership role, some form of sharia law (law based on the teachings of the Quran) will be expected. Unfortunately, sharia law is the standard in eight of the top ten nations where Christians are most persecuted.[8]
Let us pray for freedom in Egypt. In doing so, may we show caution regarding those who attempt to step to provide leadership, particularly those from the Muslim Brotherhood. Ultimately, let us pray for those in Egypt who follow Christ to have the freedom to do so.
