Bob Beckel: “I Would Not Have Another Mosque Built In This Country Until We Got It Worked Out Who Is Not A Terrorist”
Ever since Bob Beckel has gotten a pay check from Fox News he’s jumped on the bandwagon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim animus.
What a shame.
Bob Beckel: “I Would Not Have Another Mosque Built In This Country Until We Got It Worked Out Who Is Not A Terrorist”
From the July 9 edition of Fox News’ The Five:

Okay, while you’re “getting it worked out,” Bob, where do you stand on Chicago? An average of 50 people are shot in Chicago every weekend, over the July 4th weekend it was 79. Sounds a little terrifying in Chicago, Bob. Maybe you can encourage the US Army to invade Chicago and build new schools and infrastructure and win over the hearts of the people like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And since you sound like a real intelligent statistician kind of guy, Bob, thought you’d like to know that approximately 20,000 Americans are killed by guns every year. 43,000 a year are killed in car crashes. 435,000 Americans die a year from smoking. 600,000 Americans die a year from heart disease. According to the American Medical Association 900,000 Americans die a year of drug and alcohol abuse. But please focus your energy on the 1s and 5s of deaths every decade or so at the hands of terrorists.
Over the next decade maybe you and the FBI who report 1% of the terrorist related arrests they make a year pan out to actually be remotely credible, will save as many as 20 people. Don’t worry about the Tens of millions of people who will die from preventable deaths due to guns, cars, smoking and substances. That is kind of boring and not news worthy. Perspective and reality are pretty over-rated. So keep up the good work, Jason Bourne! Don’t let anyone (including a mirror) tell you that you are a delusional bigoted fiscal opportunist profiting off of slandering an entire group of American citizens.
