Fox News host calls for mass murder of Islamists in unhinged rant

You know that sinking feeling you get when a Fox News analyst advocates the use of death squads as a solution to the problem of radical Islamism? No?

You're about to.

Cartoon villain and weekend Fox News host Jeanine Pirro did a segment on Saturday in which she explained her views on radical Islamists quite clearly: "We need to kill them. We need to KILL THEM":

Apparently other Muslims should be the ones responsible for accomplishing this mass murder. "Our job is to arm those Muslims to the teeth, give them everything they need to take out these Islamic fanatics, let them do the job, and when they do, we need to simply ... look the other way."

According to Pirro, we know this strategy can work — just look at the example of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's regime in Egypt. In her telling, Egypt is now a paradise free from the blight of radical Islam because of al-Sisi's hardline tactics, which have involved human rights abuses on a massive scale — including the massacre of more than 800 demonstrators, the vast majority of whom were peaceful and unarmed, in August 2013. (The news that radical Islam has been eradicated from Egypt would, I imagine, come as a surprise to Egyptians, including al-Sisi himself.) Troublingly, Pirro includes the followers of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in her definition of radical Islamists who presumably must be tracked down and killed. That would include 100,000 people in Egypt alone, many of whom are women and children.

2. To quote PM Cameron on her "Birmingham is full of Muslims" guest, she also is an Idiot. And a hateful Bigot to boot.

3. Well to be fair we've done things like that in the past and it's always worked out splendidly.

Right?

4. We need to kill them? As opposed to what we were doing before?

You know what radicalized these people? How about 50+ years of our unquestioning servitude to Israel for starters? How about we give them an option besides fighting us? Does this cow actually think that more bombing is the answer? We've spent the last 20 years bombing them. Has it made them less radical? Get fucking real.

9. Ms. Pirro is a Christian dominionist, perhaps???

KILL! KILL! KILL EM ALL! LET GAWD SORT EM OUT!

[90-percent]

10. Wow. Just wow.

Boy is she stupid, mean, ignorant and bloodthirsty!

There's 1.8 BILLION moos-lems in the World. She sure aims her sight's high for the genocide and extermination she's calling for, doesn't she?

Here's a line from Hunter Thompson's 9-12-2001 espn article on the terror attack.

"It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerrilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy."

The Judge and all of humanity would be well served if they read the journalism of Chris Hedges.

The point in this article, as I understand it, is acts of terrorism have less to do with religious fanaticism and more to do with the strain the World's Wealthy Oligarch's are putting on the social fabric of a good deal of the world.

She is living proof our entire planet is run by stupid, fearful and mean people.

11. "We"?

"We" need to kit out Pirro, ship her out wherever "there" is, and let her get the job done herself.

It's about time Fox had its own standing army. In a way, it already has one, it's just trapped in a TV studio.

12. The Front Lines? I Have a Better Idea!

Send Judge Pirro over to Israel and strap her to a bomb headed for Gaza, on which a whole bunch of Israeli school children have written their "love notes" to their Palestinian victims. She can be spewing her bigoted vitriol out to them as she heads their way, on her Kamikaze mission of destruction!

13. yeah why are Republicans so stupid? She is saying that we will arm Muslims to wipe out the fanatics

and then she goes off on a completely broad brush attack on Muslims including American-Muslims in general.
