Rock your red, white and blue, Saba! - Total Badass Goes On Fox News In Patriotic Hijab

[kpete]

Kelly opened the discussion by talking about our First Amendment rights. “We have freedom of speech, we have freedom of religion," she said. "And we’re opening up a very dangerous door if we get the government getting to go into a religious institution and decide what amounts to hate speech.”

Pearson then passionately listed followers of the Islamic faith who were responsible for violence in the past, in an attempt to prove her point that all Muslims are capable of and responsible for such behavior. (That logic would suggest that all Catholic churches should've been shut down after the Boston Globe investigation of church sex abuse in 2002, which found thousands of people who were assaulted by members of the clergy.)

After Kelly mentioned the "hotbed" of political activity that seemingly goes on in mosques, Ahmed, who remains incredibly poised the entire time, simply responded: “Megyn, we go to the mosque to pray.”

Rock your red, white and blue, Saba. You more than deserve to.

1. The US flag lapel pins just became moot

I expect Trump to counter with a flag stitched across his back. Fiorina is going to go to a Lady Gaga-esque costume to top that.

2. Republican Muslim Coalition?

I can smell Rush Limbaugh's pants from Sarah Palin's house.

3. Literally draped in the flag

I'm sorry, but whenever somebody pulls a wardrobe stunt like this- whether it's this lady, or that shitbag Blankenship at Massey Energy's big anti-union barbecue a few years back- it always feels contrived and cynical to me. In this case I won't knock her too much for it because I realise, as she must, that it's a language Fox viewers understand.

6. I generally feel the same, but for an appearance on Vicious, Xenophobic Propaganda Central

it's not only appropriate, it's in-your-face badass. Good for her!

4. I expect a backlash, given the U.S. Flag Code forbids wearing the flag as apparel . . .

All such "codes" and "rules" are unenforceable, and illusory to boot (since they can be bent to suit popular will -- witness the flags on sports uniform), but I'm sure it won't stop some political neanderthals from claiming this woman disrespects the land she took pains to show she loves.

7. Yes but since the Tea party always has a few cloaked in the flag at any event shirts jackets hats

You never hear about the code anymore . It was horrible when hippies wore flag clothes but ultra patriotic once the tea party started up with the fashion . Don't doubt the idiots will be on fire about her hijab and forget their tea wife's flag hat, jacket and boots

5. Invite Der Donald to a mosque, Ms. Ahmed?

He'd probably bring some of his stormtroopers supporters and tell them to knock some heads.

[Stellar]

8. I love it!

Wrapped in the red+white+and blue baby!!! Stars and stripes forever!

9. Only on Fox News

coming next, comments from Fox and Friends, O'Reilly factor, I am so glad I trashed my TV long ago!
