Video: CAIR boots CBN from presser about “tolerance”

More crushing of dissent in Bush’s America. Except, of course, Bush had nothing to do with it.
You could call it an annual rite of passage for CBN News–sort of our version of March Madness. The Council on American-Relations (CAIR) holds a press conference in Washington, D.C. CBN News, in good faith, sends a reporter and camera crew to record the event and ask CAIR’s representatives the relevant questions. After all, CAIR bills itself as America’s leading Muslim civil rights organization and a shining beacon of interfaith goodwill. So who better to ask about Islamic affairs here and abroad? And yet, like a vampire to garlic, time and again, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper has ushered CBN News off the premises, recoiling at the mere mention of our name.
It happened again today, as CBN atempted to cover a CAIR press conference announcing that the six “peace-loving” Muslim imams removed from a US Airways flight in Minneapolis last November have filed a lawsuit against the airline and Minnesota’s Metropolitan Airports Commission.
Head over to the link above to see video of Hooper getting sideways with the CBN crew. CAIR also booted the Washington Times’ Audrey Hudson out of the press conference for asking an inconvenient question. If President Bush behaved the way he’s accused of and how CAIR actually does, David Gregory, Helen Thomas, heck half the White House press corps, would be cooling their heels outside morning pressers rather than lobbing firebombs at Tony Snow.
Previewing coming attractions, this Thursday’s Jihad Watch with Robert Spencer takes on CAIR’s criticism of the St. Petersburg Declaration, a document that adherents to an actual religion of peace should have no problem supporting.

I see Hooper is taking cues from the Nevada Democrat party these days.
Assclown.

Anyone know what the inconvenient question was? I can’t find anything on the Wash Times site.

“How dare this dhimmi ask me that question?! Get out! May a thousand camels piss on your ancestors!”
And in other news: A muslim cashier at Target refuses to scan a customer’s bacon because it’s pork … wrapped in plastic … in a cardboard box.

Talk about hypocrites, They want to hold a press conference on how people discriminate against them because of their religion, mean while they throw out the Christians. Wow.

CAIR needs CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) to become DBN (Dhimme Broadcast Network), then they could do business. What a difference a letter makes.

As all of the other DBNs ( Dhimmi Broadcasting Networks) look on and just take the offal they are fed. CNN was unavailable for comment, they were in the back room doing God knows what to secure access.

According to their published mission CAIR seeks to “enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.” I guess in Washington the appearance of doing and the actual doing are the same.

Golly-gee-willikers, now I completely understand the Islamic point of view.
Muslims are great!
Just like leftists, anarchists and the Gorecal, pay no attention to what they do, it’s all about waht they say.
Where is the ACLU to defend the CBN against such blantant discrimination? Hellooooooo……(the crickets chirp….)

“Counsel on American Relations?” You can’t say “Islamic” anymore in Canada?
Maybe it shoud be CABSOSR-Council on American Broad Strata of Society Relations

Dam, you can’t make up stuff this silly….

Secular Islam will not work any better than “regular” Islam.
Connie on March 13, 2007 at 7:28 PM
CAIR/CBN… Democrats/Fox. The dhimmi mind-meld is nearing completion.

In re: CAIR, Saudi oil is the only reason they haven’t been booted. That needs to change. The Saudis want our military protection, so I’m “sure” they will understand.

This terrorist frontgroup needs to be smacked down hard.
They have no use for free speech:

CAIR is made up of “Islamists,” radicals, fundamentalists, whatever the hell you want to call them.
They have been told by their god that they are already in charge, other people just don’t realize it yet.
This is how you act when you believe something like that.
Though it would be NICE if this kind of behavior was more widely reported.

Uh oh……. you mentioned Helen Thomas……
(face getting flushed…… short breaths, pants tightening……. can’t let the cats see me, must make it to the “catch rag”……)
Oooooooohhhhhh, Yeeeaaaaaaa! Now I need another smoke……….. Thanks Bryan.
Can we get some more nude photos?

Now they’ve got the New York Times fronting for them. Is anyone surprised?

Ah, Sharia standards for journalism have arrived! Nice picture of the perfect rag-head world. Don’t ask zee questions!!!

And all of the libs moaning about losing their civil liberties under Bushitler are… where?
Likely wherever it is they meet to discuss all of the censorship going on under Bushitler. coughMohammedcartoonscough

Thanks for the link. I always like to play “spot the adjective” with the Times.
For example, “the Investigative Project, a conservative group” and “the Middle East Forum, a conservative research center;” yet simply “the American Civil Liberties Union” and “Senator Barbara Boxer.”
saint kansas on March 14, 2007 at 9:56 AM
The only way they would get it is if they’re sued. And they should be. CBN should sue their a$$e$. Squeeze them as dry as you can.

Personally, the only terrorism I want to see in America is the one blowing up the CAIR building…
