| Dem Rep. demands FBI stop using "offensive" terrorism bus ads |
| 2013-06-21 |
| U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) on Wednesday sent a letter to FBI Director Robert Muellerurging him to stop using “offensive” bus ads that show sixteen faces of wanted terrorists. The ad campaign, created by the Puget Sound Joint Terrorism Task Force for the State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program, is “not only offensive to Muslims and ethnic minorities, but it encourages racial and religious profiling,” McDermott claims. The congressman argues that the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list also includes individuals of other races and “associations with other religions and causes.” “But their faces are missing from this campaign,” he writes. “The…ad will likely only serve to exacerbate the disturbing trend against Middle Eastern, South Asian and Muslim Americans.” It should be noted that, while the majority of the terrorists listed on the ad appear to be from Muslim regions, not all of them appear to be Muslim. More importantly, the FBI does not discriminate when determining who is a dangerous and wanted terrorist. |

| #3 Remember, this is the pushback Democrats do to target the low-information voters, who don't hear the whole argument. Jim McDermott sounds like an idiot (heck, he IS an idiot), but the LIVs don't think it all through. His statement is what they have absorbed into their subconscious on election day. The Democrats depend on that. It works. |

| #2 If Muslims want to be excluded from the Terrorism bus signs, then the Muslims need to stop BEING terrorists Simple no? By the way U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) wastes his time bowing to Muslim Terrorists, and needs to remember the people who elected him were NOT these same Muslim Terrorists. Remember that U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) |
