Following links on the internet is like paddling a canoe, on a lazy river with lots of tributaries. It is easy to be distracted by this creek or that. Once you are off the main stream, there is no telling where you will wind up. Sometimes you find yourself in a sewage treatment facility. 
Today’s journey starts at Iraq Blog Count. This is an automated list, showing the latest offering from a variety of blogs. Many of these blogs are in Arabic. PG followed a link to Iraqi American Mojo.
The story at IAM is Norwegian killer was influenced by American blogger. The lead sentence is : “It appears the Norwegian mass murderer was influenced by conservative American blogger Robert Spencer , the author of Jihad Watch. “ (IAM did not link to Jihad Watch. ). The link in the first sentence is to a piece by Jeffrey Goldberg.
The first sentence by Mr. Goldberg is “I’m away, and it’s hard to keep up with the news, but it seems as if my arch-nemesis Pamela Geller is in a bit of a pickle because she and her partner-in-Muslim-bashing, Robert Spencer, were favorites of the Norway killer. (Btw, I call her my arch-nemesis, but I’m grateful to her for calling me what I believe to be the best epithet ever , “Jewicidal Jihadi.” Also, “Jihad Jeffro.” All I’ve ever come up with to describe her is “shrieking bigot,” which doesn’t have the same power, or alliterative quality.”
Jihad Watch has a tasteful piece today, titled “New York Times convicts Spencer of guilt for Norway murders.” The NYT piece, “Killings in Norway Spotlight Anti-Muslim Thought in U.S.” discusses the manifesto of Anders Behring Breivik, who is not a nice man. “In the document he posted online, Anders Behring Breivik, who is accused of bombing government buildings and killing scores of young people at a Labor Party camp, showed that he had closely followed the acrimonious American debate over Islam. His manifesto, which denounced Norwegian politicians as failing to defend the country from Islamic influence, quoted Robert Spencer, who operates the Jihad Watch Web site, 64 times, and cited other Western writers who shared his view that Muslim immigrants pose a grave danger to Western culture.”
These days, Islam has replaced Communism as the boogeyman of conservatives. Radio whiners and print posers compete to produce the most inflammatory purple prose. While arguably Mr. Breivik is a sick man, a rebel looking for a cause, it does not look good for the Muslim bashers when an incident like this takes place.
One thing you hear a lot about is Islam influence “terrorism”. Whenever an incident takes place, there are demands that the “moderate Muslims” denounce the terrorism of their coreligionists. Now the shoe is on the other foot.
Back when commie bashing was fashionable, the Soviet Union shot down a plane with American civilians on board. There was widespread denunciation, and calls for war against the evil empire. A few years later, The United States shot down a civilian plane in the Middle East. Those who had denounced the action of the USSR were strangely silent, when it was our guns that shot down a civilian plane.
You are probably wondering how this is going lead to an actress who loves cats. ( The video is probably a fake. ) As the screen shot shows, google decided that a good ad for this performance was “discount tires”. Which still does not tell us how a rampaging Norseman, who reads conservative blogs, has to do with a MBA recipient who loves cats.
The video was posted at Biblical Christianity , a Jesus worship blog that does not appreciate Chamblee54. BC posted a story with the racy title “Blond-haired, blue-eyed conservative Palin-loving Christian terrorist?” The first sentence: “In PR terms, Christmas has come early for the Left/MSM: they have found a terrorist to whom they can attach “far-right” conservatism, fundamentalist Christianity, and the name of Sarah Palin. It’s a propaganda trifecta.” When PG clicked on the link in this sentence, his virus alert came on the screen to announce that a virus attack had been thwarted. When you go trolling surfing on the internet, be sure to have the latest updates installed on your anti virus.
