And I thought Eleanor Clift made for bad tv. Americans have been assured by our media masters that Contessa Brewer is both brilliant and hot. I’m not sure who qualified those adjectives for Ms. Brewer, but rest assured Contessa is neither. Personally, I find that she’s more “tranny” than “glammy” and I’d be willing to bet my favorite pair of pants that she’d lose a spelling bee to Dan Quayle and mangles more words than George W. Bush. So while she may not fit my definition of brains and beauty, she does fit my definition – as the video above and audio below prove – of idiot, though I’m still trying to determine if “useful” is an adequate modifier as she may ultimately fail in her utility to the left as well.

MSNBC -Contessa Brewer “frustrated” Times Square Bomber is not a Conservative:

CONTESSA BREWER: I mean the thing is that – and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry. And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case, that here would be somebody who is not the defined. I mean he’s accused, he’s arrested you know, I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said, I mean, we know even in recent history you have the Hutaree militia from Michigan who have plans to, let’s face it, create terror. That’s what they were planning to do and they were doing so from far different backgrounds than what this guy is coming from. So, the threat is not just coming from people who decide that America is the place to be and you know come here and want to become citizens. And obviously this guy did. – Transcript from The Radio Equalizer

Recently, Contessa has come under fire for admitting his her disappointment that the Times Square terrorist wasn’t a conservative. I’m not sure why this is a shock because the left observes EVERYTHING through the prism of race and ideology. And it’s due to this myopia that the left becomes intellectually and emotionally incapable of assigning blame to – much less condemning – Muslims for any terrorist act committed, or even attempted, either here in the United States or elsewhere throughout the world.

This also explains why Contessa can blurt out “Hutaree milita from Michigan” as if they’ve been behind the majority of terrorist attacks committed since 9-11. I know I immediately thought “Hutaree militia from Michigan” when a school in Beslan was stormed, a number of buses were blown up in London, a hotel in Mumbai was attacked, and some commuter trains in Madrid were bombed. Likewise I was stunned when I subsequently learned that all those heinous acts were committed by the humble practitioners of the world’s most peaceful religion…and not the “Hutaree militia from Michigan.”

For people like Brewer, the facts never get in the way of the narrative. And the narrative is that “terrorism” is simply a euphemism for racism and bigotry directed against people who “believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way.” “Terrorism”, for the left, is a poltical construct that never has to do with what someone does as much as it does with who someone is, especially if that someone is a group or demographic that the left desires to demonize.

Disconcertingly, this thinking is now entrenched in Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security and Eric Holder’s Justice Department, where vigilance is forever maintained against the chimera of Limbaugh-inspired “right-wing extremism” while the actual violence of Islamic terrorism and the ideology behind it is patiently temporized and solicitously apologized for. And now that the Times Square story has lost its sexiness because it wasn’t the work of rabid Tea Party zealots, CNN has moved on to more important stories like blaming America for turning Kuwaitis into fat-asses while the Guardian reports on what-could-have-been in New York.

Despite the government’s initial assurances that Faisal Shahzad “acted alone” and that his attempted bombing was a “one-off” affair, it is now becoming clear that he had numerous Islamist contacts ranging from al-Qaeda in Pakistan to every American jihadist’s favorite imam: Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. But rather than assume the obvious, our cultural and political elites would rather suspect an irrelevant Michigan militia group or the racist and fascist Tea Party Movement which is – as everyone knows – a fertile bed of violent opposition to ObamaCare and the individual mandate.

Why even New York’s liberal, out-of-touch, billionaire mayor Mike Bloomberg was aware of the Tea Party’s propensity for such violence-prone sedition when he immediately suggested after the attempted bombing that the perp was probably “somebody with a political agenda who doesn’t like the health care bill or something.” This was an entirely logical and rational explanation, especially since every terrorist attack throughout history has been committed by people who don’t like “something.” But unfortunately for America, that “something” that people like Shahzad don’t like isn’t the individual mandate, it’s us.

And Shahzad’s affiliations with “radical” Islamists and Islamist groups is actually inconsequential. As a Muslim, all I would need is a rudimentary lesson in the most basic tenets of Islam, a Quran and a computer with internet access and I’m already a potential terrorist or mujahid. Islam and the Quran give me the ideology and the computer gives me the means. Whether I am able to build a high-yield nuclear device or am limited to packing extra ammo for my 9 millimeter, my goal is to kill the kuffar “wherever [I] find them.” And that is what the Islamic Republic of Iran intends to do just as clearly as Major Nidal Hasan did and Faisal Shahzad attempted to do.

It’s so clear that even MSNBC’s Threesome Barbie with Ken and Trichelle should be able to see it.

Update!

Daniel Pipes over at NPR provided an assortment of quotes chronicling the authorities’ rushed attempts to convince the public that Shahzad’s attempted bombing had nothing to do with Islam:

· Mike Bloomberg, mayor of New York City: The bomb could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

· Mahkdoom Qureshi, Pakistan’s foreign minister: “This is a blow back [for U.S. military activities in Pakistan]. This is a reaction. This is retaliation. And you could expect that. Let’s not be naive. They’re not going to sort of sit and welcome you eliminate them. They’re going to fight back.”

· Nadeem Haider Kiani, spokesman for the Pakistani embassy in Washington: It’s too soon to tell exactly what motivated the bomber, but early indications suggest he is “a disturbed individual.”

· Cable News Network: “It can confirmed that his house has been foreclosed in recent years. I mean, one would have to imagine that brought a lot of pressure and a lot of heartache on that family.”

· CBS News: “It isn’t clear if more suspects are at large or what the motive could be.”

· The Washington Post: Under the title, “The economic crisis meets terrorism,” Ezra Klein notes that Shahzad’s house was foreclosed and comments: “This guy is like string theory for the media: He brings together the seemingly incompatible stories that drove the past decade. That said, you of course don’t want to speculate on why someone ‘really’ did something. The hearts of men are opaque, and motives are complex.”

· Law enforcement (as reported by NY1): “Investigators say they still have no motive for Shahzad’s actions.”

· Kifyat Ali, a relative of Shahzad’s: “We are shocked. He had no connection with any political party or jihadi group.”

· Associated Press headline: “NY car bomb suspect cooperates, but motive mystery.”

· Associated Press story: “Federal officials aren’t talking about a motive in the arrest of a naturalized U.S. citizen charged with attempting to set off a bomb in New York’s Times Square.”

· New York Post “exclusive”: Shahzad “said he was driven to evil by the slew of deaths among leaders of the terror group, law-enforcement sources revealed yesterday. Sources said he was an eyewitness to the onslaught throughout the eight months he spent in Pakistan beginning last summer.”

· USA Today headline: “Motive of NYC car bomb suspect remains a mystery.”

· The Guardian headline: “Times Square bomb: Pakistanis puzzled by bomber’s motives.”
