Gen. McInerney Calls for All 18-28 Year Old Muslim Men to Be Strip Searched
Former Lt. General "Goes There": Calls for all Muslim men between 18-28 to be strip searched:
A recent FOX News Saturday guest, retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney offered a solution to terrorism on American airliners, religious profiling: "If you are an 18-28-year-old Muslim man then you should be strip searched. And if we don't do that there's a very high probability we're going to lose an airline." McInerney's solution is many things (swift and decisive, for instance), but is primarily ignorant of two portions of the US Constitution, The first and fourth amendments.
The FOX anchor implied that such violations would, and rightfully so, cause unrest: "That's just not going to go over, not in this country," she told McInerney, who simply declared that religious freedom and protection from such profiling through illegal searches were "part of the problem".
As Bob Cesca noted... what could possibly go wrong? Even the Fox newsmodel Julie Banderas was freaked out by the suggestion. I would like to know how the general would determine just who is a Muslim and who is not?
I could go for that. But only if they all look like Naveen Andrews...
Or don't you watch Lost?
After strip searching them, why don't you call for them to be water boarded until they confess to whatever shit you need them to confess to? Oops, you already did that, and that didn't work.
You missed a HUGE opportunity about 9 years ago when you still had a chance to act like a civilized human being. Too late for that Gen. Shithead.
I thought personal Attacks were off limits.So you are saying you are smarter then the Gen.I don't think so.
[Uh-that would be attacks on other posters, bloggers, the site team. The stories' topics are fair game-Sitemonitor]
Because they were illegally waterboarded and any evidence that may have come out of that was tainted because of torture... isn't that why they were released. They may have been innocent when captured originally, but after spending years imprisoned unfairly and tortured, hell, anyone would want revenge no matter what your "ideology". Grrrrrr.........
OK were do you get your talking points from."Because they were illegally water boarded"where does that come from Any facts????
the General is a tool....
and no offense if you feel like he is smarter than yourself...
Show me why you think it's legal.
A few of bush's
henchmenlawyers, wrote some shit? Treaties and Constitution invalid suddenly?"If the US government enforced its banking laws like it did its park regulations, we wouldn't be
in this damn park in the first place." OCCUPY.!!
Ah that's right, enhanced interrogation. Right?
is intended to be a factual statement
An enthusiastic understanding of ideas and exchange of information?
So...the 1st and 4th Amendments are part of the problem eh? Well, the best way to show our enemies that our system is clearly to erase the parts that might cause us temporary inconvenience....

Was decried illegal by Attorney General Mukasey.

Whatever dude ... The REAL America doesn't torture. Too bad, Republicans don't where the real America is.
... stands in violation of the Geneva Conventions and federal law.
Thus, ILLEGAL.
That's not spin, that's not a talking point, it's legal FACT.
but there is no such thing as "legal" water boarding. With the exception of water boarding with consent. Sooooo, since many detainees were water boarded (as admitted by Bush Co.) it was all illegal.
I find the former General morally and logically repugnant. The fact that a FUX news model was repelled by his suggestion should make red warning lights go off in your head.
The General has proven himself to be the kind of man who is all too happy to butcher the foundations of freedom in order to appear that he is protecting it.
. . . Waterboarding is illegal.
That way all 18-28 year old Muslim's will know exactly what kind of respect we have for their human rights when they are being searched.
Fox News is like a real life Stephen King book unfolding before our eyes every day.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
that we live in a free country.
Islamic terrorism is like a real life Stephen King book unfolding before our eyes every day. That includes both political and familial terrorism.
Unless it's like Saturday Night Live with psychos in dirty undies bombing their crotches.
And nothing screams freedom like torture and random anal probes at airports
on everyone's forehead eh?
Perhaps a nice start to the much needed end of faith...
"Religious affiliation stamped on everyone's forehead eh?
Perhaps a nice start to the much needed end of faith..."
As long as Islam is the faith that is ended, that is hunky-dory. Christers and their Jesus would NEVER let such inconveniences as the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions get into the way of their cramming their stupid nonsense down people's throats.
How could such an imbecile rise to the rank of general in our military?

Except in the case of Muslims, I think it would be a yellow crescent.
But your point is very well taken.
I swear, all of this sick anti-Islam bigotry makes me sick enough to vomit.
From Wikipedia's page on Lt Gen. Uncle Tom up there:
In April 2008 documents obtained by New York Times reporter David Barstow revealed that McInerney had been recruited as one of over 75 retired military officers involved in the Pentagon military analyst program. Participants appeared on television and radio news shows as military analysts, and/or penned newspaper op/ed columns. The program was launched in early 2002 by then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Victoria Clarke. The idea was to recruit "key influentials" to help sell a wary public on "a possible Iraq invasion."[3]
sounds like a war pimp to me.
We better profile now or we'll lose another planeload of people! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
kind of says it all....
without all this baloney...all we have to do is have a good human intelligence system.
Why isn't McInerney (and the other 74 military industrial complex hacks) in jail for illegal propaganda? Propaganda was outlawed in the 1952, and this program is so very clearly propaganda...
"The idea was to recruit "key influentials" to help sell a wary public on "a possible Iraq invasion."
Because it was Faux and Bush, they just get away with it? WTF?!?
Oh, and McInerney was also the idiot (yes, I'm smarter than him) who advocated a program to make the US a state-sponsor of terrorist attacks. Congress later budgeted $400 million to the program.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GUVTbLEKgA
So, to sum up: State sponsorship of terrorism, illegal propaganda, torture, anti-Constitution. Definitely a role model for kids.
Why not make all Muslims wear bright yellow patches on their clothes so we can identify them more easily?
This bozo has made a case for profiling all right: No Air Force general should ever be placed in a position of responsibility.
triangles ... yeah maybe pink ones ...! and cool tattoos ...with hmmm blueskyiin' here ...NUMBERS! !
I'm Boycotting NewsCorp! Heres what not to buy: http://www.cjr.org/resources/index.php?c=news...
The General's first suggestion as an indentifying marker for Muslims was a tattoo of Mohammed on the forehead. That'll show them thar darn Mooslems.
By the Muslims, who mark their women by forcing them to wear bomb-concealing clothing and by cutting their privates.
And/or the Syrians, who required blue tattoos on their women (had a Damascene landlady once, and no, she wasn't a terrorist).
Ewww! I just threw up in my mouth
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
We all know that all Muslims are Arabs. Right? There's no oriental or African Americans or white Americans. What about in the Balkin states? Let's go one step further and have all 18-28 year old strip searched. Wait, then then would mean anyone above the age of 28 couldn't be extremist. To hell with it, let's just strip search everyone.

and 18-28 year old women....twice...

Ya think?
Yeah, funny how the General was very specific on the age group and gender of those he wants to strip search. I guess when the General served, no one asked and he didn't tell.
Yet another old white guy says something really,really offensive and stupid.As one approaching "old white guyhood" I must once again cringe in the face of this inevitable idiocy.Thanks a bunch General.

This clown clearly needs to be waterboarded, and after seeing/hearing Sean Hannity and Dick Morris openly and aggressively call for the direct "waterboarding" of the kid that tried to blow up a plane on Christmas this is a formal call for Hannity and Morris to be prosecuted for ACTIVELY PROMOTING WAR CRIMES.
Unfortunately I've not seen any evidence to contradict my opinion that Eric Holder is a waste of tax money.

They want us to believe that we should be glad to be searched. The question I have for these idiots is: When have they found any bombs at any security check point in any American airport ever?
I can't seem to find one time. There are stories about them finding bombs in the cargo going into the airplane, but a strip search wouldn't find that.
I remember once they found a pipe bomb going up the ramp to the luggage hold. Again, a strip search wouldn't have caught that one either.
are the problem....yeah, that's the neocons for ya.

Lets say that you do strip search all muslim men between 18 & 28. Do you think the terrorists are idiots? They will send in either women or older men to do the job. President Obama knows what he is doing so let him do his job.
Isn't that exactly the first thing that comes to the mind of any individual with and IQ >40? Isn't that also why this pig general is a lying, war mongering tool who is happily whored out by a fascist propaganda machine?
I'm of the opinion that the general's secret desire is to have the image viewer of every body scanner hooked directly to his home computer so he can jack off to the virtual strip searches while fantasizing about ass fucking Gretchen Carlson.

I can see the General now
"Oh no, something is throbbing between his legs!
It's going to blow!!!"
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Ha. Let's take that one step further. I could see the good General throwing himself on top of the suspicious object to save others if it were to go off. Wouldn't think twice about it, might even win him the MOH.
I would like to know how the general would determine just who is a male and who is a female.
That's a very good question!!!! How will they know they're Muslims?
"If the US government enforced its banking laws like it did its park regulations, we wouldn't be
in this damn park in the first place." OCCUPY.!!
Or are they simply accomplishing their mission of demonizing the religion of a quarter of the world's population?
Is Herr General aware there are Asian Muslims, African Muslims, African-American Muslims, Arab Muslims, Pakistani Muslims, Indian Muslims, Filipino Muslims and, yes, white Muslims?
Does Herr General have some secret equipment that can infiltrate the minds of people to seek out their religious beliefs?
I'm pretty certain when he's done eliminating the Muslims, he'll be on to the Jews. Because if there's one thing Fox News viewers agree with Hitler on (and we all know there's more than one thing), it's that Christianity should be the state religion.
Is anyone here aware that there are Asian, African, etc. Muslims?
I am, indeed, aware of it. They draw awareness with the multifarious and multiple terrorist attacks, murders, and regional genocides they commit, with Muslim Filipinos being only one such recent example. Anyone notice Malkin's silence on that?
He'd better not want Christianity, though--the Army of God's depredations in Africa have made it obvious that God is not only a malign thug, but a racist as well.
Get that wide stance ready Muslims. Just remember that Larry is NOT GAY!
The Republicans are simply raising a fuss to confuse the issue, that the underpants bomber can be traced back to Republicans and to Cheney.
The Republicans think if they can tap-dance fast enough people will look the other way or not catch up to them.

I come in contact with a lot of senior citizens and, inevitably, wind up discussiong today's issues which always lead to their political views. Unfortunately, most of these people are aware of what is happening, but are either so biased or ignorant of the facts that the Republicans could do a slow minuet and still get away with it.
"I would like to know how the general would determine just who is a Muslim and who is not?"
Make all Muslims wear a badge. A crescent moon or some other insignia.
Wait. That's what the Nazi's made the Jews do. Wear a Star of David pinned to their clothes, so they could be identified and shunned on sight.
Which would make McInerney a fascist.
I could care less about trying to appease those muslims who already don't like the US. It is about doing the right thing. There are a lot of Muslims who love the US, who are ordinary citizens or are in the armed forces, who are translators and intelligence workers. Profiling is not a bad idea in an emergency but strip searching every muslim between 18 and 28? This is taking profiling too far. I draw the line at extra questions. Strip searching should be saved for very suspicious suspects. There is no perfect solution. Yes, we might lose an airliner that we would not have if we had strip searched everyone but that is part of the price of freedom. Those who would sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither.
Will the Muslims that are US citizens be strip searched every time they fly?
How about we strip search and waterboard senile old jerks like
McInerney, Buchanan et al. ???
Just sayin....
young 18- to 28-year-old men, General, once you've stripped them bare?
Very telling. It's okay, General, let it all out. Mark Foley, Pastor Ted and all the other formerly repressed repugs will tell you, the repression isn't worth it.
....deserve neither and will lose both.
Then again, history was never the strong suit of the rapture right...
We are treading down a very slippery slope...The loony Christian rapture right wants non Christians- Muslims in particular- to be treated as sub human- How long before Muslims are branded with a numbered tattoo or barcode, and treated like animals?
You mean, like capturing them in their own home, dragging them halfway around the world, keeping them incommunicado on an oversized rock in the Caribbean, and making them in cages made out of chain link fence like a kennel?
Nah, that would never happen...
People like General Stupid Stars never stop at one group of people. History has already taught us that. Someone lock that douchebag in a padded room with a bucketful of plastic army solders. He can play out his violent fantasies in a mental hospital, where he can do no harm to the rest of society. He looked like he was about ready to have a disaster in his depends, when Julie took a opposing view to his. Probably will be telling all the other patients at the psycho ward that she wanted to sleep with him, after they cart him back there.
stuff only occurs on Fox ? The good general probably thinks the military should take over the govt since he knows what's good for us.
would determine just who is a Muslim and who is not? That's easy!!!
You just provide your friendly TSA interrogators with a book of statements insulting Allah and wait for the response. Of course, it may come a couple of hours later upon detonation.
Thats easy! You just make every Muslim wear a star and crescent symbol badge or card round their neck, you know, like the Nazis did with the jews. Easy! Oh and why not paint the same symbol on their houses too, then we'll know where all the terrorists live. Job done!
Next time we have a terrorist attack from a white Christian in this country will every 18-28 year old white Christian male be strip searched?
The General has this all thought out. Muslim men should be circumcised. Only Muslims will be strip searched. Therefore if you are strip searched and it turns out you are circumcised you are a Muslim. We could extend this logic to include summary executions for those determined to be terrorists at the airport.
Why not strip-search EVERYBODY who gets on a plane? Add a body-cavity search for good measure . . . . .
And even as an idiot he cannot make his argument right. Let's say we listen to this douche and profile every muslin men 18-28 to be strip searched, that still leaves 3 out of the 19 hijackers from the 9/11 attacks not being stopped. What a douche bag.
Did I mention this guy is a douche?
