CNN-Blitzer Smear of Rep. Virgil Goode

CNN has reached a new low in yellow journalism, smear tactics, and bias. On today's 'Situation Room' hosted by Wolf Blitzer, CNN launched an attack on U.S. Representative Virgil Goode of Virginia over his remarks about Muslim Keith Ellison's election to Congress.

During a prolonged segment on the controversy, the word 'bigot' was used several times in describing Goode. Interestingly, this is the very same terminology used by the representative for CAIR--the Council on American-Islamic Relations--who was interviewed on the program. CAIR joined Blitzer and CNN in calling Goode a bigot.

In presenting the segment, Blitzer and CNN rolled out Goode's detractors, complete with the expected condemnations by Muslim groups, while choosing to ignore a chorus of voices that support the Virginia Congressman. In fact, CNN chose to interview Ellison himself, in addition to the representative from CAIR.

The nature of Blitzer's questions to Ellison clearly indicates a pro-Muslim stance and was obviously designed to attempt to squelch any fears concerning Ellison's background. In fact, Blitzer went to great lengths to allow Ellison to peddle his pedigree, i.e., 'I can trace my family history all the way back to the late 1700s in this country. I am as American as you can get.'

Blitzer also seemed to make a big deal of the fact that Ellison converted to Islam as a college student, supposedly proving that since Ellison was born and raised here and only became Muslim later in college, this is further 'proof' that Americans have nothing to fear.

First of all, proof of an American pedigree is no indication that a person is not dangerous. Most black Muslims were born in this country and converted later to Islam. That proves nothing other than an extremist religion succeeded in appealing to the baser instincts of susceptible persons, causing them to renounce the faith and culture of their upbringing and convert to the religion of Mohammad.

Secondly, CAIR is a very dangerous organization. As I have reported to you before on The Liberty Sphere, CAIR was the group that forced the city of Los Angeles to remove a billboard referring to Osama bin Laden as a terrorist because it 'put Muslims in a negative light.'

The truth of the matter is that CAIR is nothing more than a terrorist front organization in this country, promoting the spread of Islam and giving cover to despicable human beings such as terrorist Osama bin Laden.

Interestingly, the Democrats who have won control of Congress have been consulting with CAIR about American-Muslim relations. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that CNN would interview a representative from CAIR.

Apparently, people and organizations on the forefront of 'multiculturalism' are now viewing defending Muslim extremists as the new civil rights front. This is what Europe has been doing for 20 years or so, and now France is involved in a civil war because of Islam, and all of western Europe is facing its worst threat since the second World War. If we listen to the apologists for 'multiculturalism' this is where America will be in short order.

Congressman Goode is to be heartily commended for his courage to state his views and his refusal to back down. The Congressman has told the truth. Ellison is a threat to this nation, and so is his religion. If we do not curb the flow of Muslim immigrants into the country, then they will also target this nation as a potential Islamic state, just as they are presently doing with France.

Keith Ellison says he supports the U.S. Constitution. Yet the very Koran he claims to believe in forbids Muslims from swearing allegiance to any government that is not under the control of Allah.

Do you not see the inconsistency?

Something isn't right here. Either Ellison is NOT really a faithful Muslim, or else he is lying.

By the way, the extremist groups within Islam state without equivocation that it is acceptable for a Muslim to lie in order to promote the cause of Allah.

The question is, how can we believe anything Ellison has to say as long as he swears allegiance to Allah and the Koran?

CNN and Wolf Blitzer have smeared the reputation of a good man by slanting this story today on Rep. Virgil Goode. As a true American patriot, Goode is merely looking out for the interests of his constituents and the United States of America.

America owes Congressman Goode a big THANK YOU for his courageous stand against the march of Islam.
