Debbie Schlussel: The Amman in Amanpour: Tonight on the Crescent News Network, the Sequel
Earlier this week, I told you about the CNN trilogy of prime-time special reports by pan-Islamist water-carrier Christiane Amanpour. Tuesday Night was "Vilify Jews" night. And tonight is "Vilify Christians" night. (Last night was "Understand Peaceful Islam" night.)
I predicted Amanpour's report on the Jews would play like Al-Jazeera fare. And apparently, I was right. My friend, Robert J. Avrech--a rare Hollywood screenwriter with common sense (he does movies I like, such as "A Stranger Among Us" and "Body Double")--writes as much. On his site, Seraphic Secret, he has a great, humorous piece on the Amanpour propaganda output (and a piece on her soft on Islam coverage), and you can expect the hit-piece on Christians, tonight, will be as bad.
I'm beginning to like Avrech's new nickname for Amanpour, "Al Jazeera Lady." As I wrote previously, she'd fit in well there. Some of his report on her phony report:
So Karen and I sit down, flip channels, and what do you know, suddenly Al Jazeera pops up."Since when do we get Al Jazeera?" I ask.
"We don't," Karen assures me.
Oh man, gotta call the cable company and make sure we're not paying for this Jew-hatred.
There's all this slow mo footage overlaid with sinister musical stings of grim looking Jooz carrying M16s; this is intercut with Bedouin children herding sheep, looking all innocent and peaceful.
And the narrator/host/entertainer, a woman with shoulders like a fullback, and an absolutely tragic mullet style hair-do from the 80's, keeps talking about "G-d's Jewish warriors," and she repeats these three words--I'm counting, mind you--and by the time she hits number 107, I give up.
I now know what it's like to get brainwashed in some North Korean reeducation gulag.
Anyway, this Al Jazeera lady with the hoo-ha Oxford accent--big shock--states . . . [Read the rest].
Like I said, watch for this same imagery and propaganda against Christians, tonight. And don't forget, when it came to "God's Muslim Warriors," Amanpour was very kind-hearted.
Don't forget this: When they take over, they'll kill the likes of her, too. Al-Jazeera Lady will be the first to go.
