"The mindset just drives me up the wall." Wesley was simply adhering to the talking points. I suspect Janet was too on Sunday - until the idiocy was too obvious to try to spin. To get away from the talking points would mean invalidating more than a year of creative spin. This one has them nervous though. They KNOW Janet blew it big time. We are governed by fools. Bob

And then there was the liberal guy on "the panel" who insisted we can't profile young Islamic men from ME countries who happen to be on watch lists, carry no luggage and pay cash for one way tickets on U.S. bound planes because it's racist or unfair. These people are nuts, and their whining and protesting is sounding more hollow by the minute.

From Freepers early on the 30th: Muslim spokesman: "Muslims won't stand for airport body scanners" Fox Morning News \| 12/29/09 Posted on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 5:43:58 AM by pabianice A Muslim spokesman was interviewed on Fox this AM. When asked if he thought that full-body scanners at airports would improve security, he replied that Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women. The interviewer let that pass without any protest. The general feeling on Freepers is "Good, don't fly"....Or "Just buy your own planes and no one else but Muslims will fly them" --"problem solved".....
