Q.E.D.

Now all you have to do is track down those people, find out their real identities and then ascertain their true political leanings. Given the state of things in this country, they could very well be liberal plants trying to make those on the right look bad.

Not saying there aren't loons on the right who think this way...just saying that not all of us do.

And for someone who loves to point out the partisanship of rightwing sources, you sure have no problems using what is clearly a left-wing source.

A Terror Threat Fox News Won't Cover
Silence From Network After Christian Minister Arrested For Threatening To Kill Muslims

Fox News was completely silent after a Christian minister pleaded guilty to plotting to attack American Muslims in New York, continuing a habit of downplaying threats to Muslims and ignoring extremist acts with no ties to Islam.

Robert Doggart, an ordained Christian minister and former Tennessee congressional candidate, was arrested and pled guilty to attempting to recruit "expert Gunners" to aid him in a plot to kill residents of Islamberg, NY, a largely Muslim community at the foot of the Catskill Mountains. RawStory reported on the details of Doggart's plan:

He met with the informant in Nashville and discussed using Molotov cocktails to firebomb buildings in the Muslim community, which was founded by African-Americans who had converted to Islam from Christianity.

Doggart told the informant during a recorded conversation that he planned to bring 500 rounds of ammunition for the M4 rifle and a pistol with three extra magazines - as well as a machete.

"If it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds," he told the informant.

He said during a recorded call that the "battalion" he commanded hoped the raid on Hancock, which is also known as Islamberg, would be a "flash point" in a possible revolution.

"So sick and tired of this crap that the government is pulling that we go take a small military installation or we go burn down a Muslim church or something like that," Doggart said.

The Daily Beast pointed out that the media has remained largely silent on the story, wondering at the absence of "the Fox News panic" and noting:

It goes without saying that if Doggart had been Muslim and had planned to kill Christians in America, we would have seen wall-to-wall media coverage. Fox News would have cut into its already-daily coverage of demonizing Muslims to do a special report really demonizing Muslims.

And in fact, Fox News has made no mention of the story at all. What's more, the network does have a history of downplaying threats against Muslims while hyping any Islamic connection to terror it can find. After the Boston Marathon bombings, the network ridiculed former Attorney General Eric Holder for warning against retaliatory acts of violence, ignoring years of threats against Muslims. In 2010, Fox host Brian Kilmeade claimed that "all terrorists are Muslims."

And Fox has reacted to terror attacks committed by right-wing extremists with a yawn. After the Department of Homeland Security released a report on right-wing terror in 2015, Fox News' Eric Bolling claimed "you can't name" instances of right-wing terrorism "in the last seven years," ignoring dozens of examples.

Right-wing media have also been known to fearmonger about often-unsubstantiated Islamic terror threats. Outlets like Fox News, The Drudge Report, and The New York Post hyped an unfounded "jihadist" plot against Fort Jackson in South Carolina. And Sean Hannity and other conservatives promoted an unsubstantiated story of an Islamic State (ISIS) training camp on the U.S.-Mexico border around the same time Doggart was arrested.

Islamberg, the town Doggart was planning to attack, has also garnered Fox News' attention in the past -- a 2007 FoxNews.com article wondered if it was a "terror compound" and a report by Fox Business host Lou Dobbs claimed the town was home to a group engaging in "guerilla war training."

Unfortunately, not for you. I wont ever apologise to you again.sorry thats just the way it is....
AND...i was more focused on the christian minister, right winger plotting to kill people, it had more busllshit bickering and semantics on the rwnjs refusing to admit there are indeed ugly people and plotting murders in EVERY aspect of life, all you wanna do is blame others. You(general) can narrow the goalposts all you want. Scum reside everywhere.
so....no apology...I didnt check into it because the story itself is horrific to stand as is. I dont need the fox stuff, but I can see why you would jump to that conclusion


After all you did miss this part

Having actually thought about your whinge....
One reuters story is all you can find to decide one report makes it untrue?
if the story had been about a muslim.....YOU would have posted it. And it would have been panic stations again on fox
If the Texas shooting deaths on the weekend had been blacks protesting, and not hells angels gangs, the threads would have been closed by now.
Hell Im not apologising for anything. You ignore the crime, to try and score a cheap point.

it sure looked to me like it was more about fox news than about this particular "Christian" minister...

in any event, I recall bill o'reilly soundly condemning the fellow (I think he was a pastor) who wanted to burn copies of the Koran.

just recently, he was giving all sorts of grief about Pamela Gellar concerning the provocation of the muslim murderers in texas.

and I continue to wish people would actually watch fox news before they say anything about it, as opposed to blindly accepting fox-hating websites' word for what goes on there.
