A CNN Anchor Reveals Truth - About America & The Mosque Opposition

[kpete]

A CNN anchor expresses the crux of "mosque" opposition

.............

Patel: In America, we don't tell people based on their race or religion or ethnicity that they are free in this place, but not in that place --

Lemon: interrupting=== I understand that, but there's always context, Mr. Patel . . . this is an extraordinary circumstance. You understand that this is very heated. Many people lost their loved ones on 9/11 --

Patel: Including Muslim Americans who lost their loved ones. . . .

Lemon: Consider the context here. That's what I'm talking about.

Patel: I have to tell you that this seems a little like telling black people 50 years ago: you can sit anywhere on the bus you like - just not in the front.

Lemon: I think that's apples and oranges - I don't think that black people were behind a Terrorist plot to kill people and drive planes into a building. That's a completely different circumstance.

Patel: And American Muslims were not behind the terrorist plot either.

1. i don't think the constitution cares about context mr lemon...all circumstances are 'extraordinary'

[DJ13]

[DJ13]

:(

6. How dare this Patel person get on television and spout this crazy

truth meme! American Muslims are not terrorists? It's like telling black people that they sit anywhere on the bus except the front?

7. No, Mr. Lemon - it isn't apples and oranges...

Fifty years ago, white people were freaked out that you'd steal their job and marry their sister if you had the right to vote and go to integrated schools.

8. Equating Muslims with the terrorists is beyond wrong.

I really don't understand what is happening in this country.

9. Remember McCarthy?

[hootinholler]

You're spot on, it's the politic of the bully.

10. Saw this when it aired

Disgusting. Shame on you, Don Lemon!

[The_Casual_Observer]

13. The only people who even pretend to care about this are commentators

and shit stirring talking heads. Who else would even fucking care what anybody does down there???

[indepat]

14. Surely the reichously indignant Lemon has unrelentingly sought to identify and seek punishment of

those who funded radical Islam including, just maybe, the attacks on 9-11. :)

15. Lemon is a perfect idiot

I can't figure out how they ever put him on air. He's seriously stupid.

But this is essentially the same "argument" that I keep hearing from idiots all over. How can they not see what they're saying?

It's like blaming every Christian for the Ku Klux Klan's violence.

Though I'm sure Lemon would find that apples and oranges, too.
