Walsh, who now works as a conservative radio host, made the comments on Twitter in light of reports that numerous media outlets were refusing to publish Charlie Hebdo's depictions of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in the wake of terror attacks at at the newspaper's Paris office.

Let's hope that when the Islamists next strike they first behead the appeasing cowards at CNN, MSNBC, etal who refused to show the cartoons.

and it's a pattern.

Remember David Horowitz, writing an article after the beheadings, "Thank You, Isis", because the beheadings woke people up to the danger of Islam?

Remember various RWers longing for the glorious post-911 days, Mike Gallagher comes to mind, when the country was "united", meaning the government was not questioned when it came to matters of war, and hoping for another 9/11 that would shut up the Bush critics?
