Robert Spencer gives the Jihad Watch version of Groundhog Day.
And now here is today’s Jihad Watch news:
1. Some jihadis somewhere will blow something up and kill some people.
2. In their public statements they will quote Qur’an, invoke Muhammad, and explain that they did it all to advance Islam.
3. Mainstream media stories about the attack will never mention Islam, or Jihad, and will speculate about the desperate poverty and political oppression that led this group to carry out this attack.
4. Obama will lament this “tragedy,” call the attackers “isolated extremists,” and announce a new U.S. aid package for the area they come from, again without ever mentioning Islam or jihad, except to praise the great and noble religion of Islam.
5. I will post the attackers’ public statements here at Jihad Watch.
6. Leftist and Islamic supremacist groups will see #5 and call me an Islamophobe and a bigot, without ever taking notice of #2.Tune in again tomorrow, when:

Darleen Click at Protein Wisdom has it exactly right.
From Howard Dean’s slander that Republicans want children to starve to NOW’s assertion that the Tebow Superbowl ad is “cynical” and masquarades as “hate” we are again seeing the true face and feelings of those we are supposed to treat as “good men” or “good women”.
We don’t need to get angry. Anger is what the Left pretends motivates any opposition to their dogma or agenda. Projecting anger onto the voters in MA is what allows the Left, from Pelosi to Obama, to reinvent the immediate past by claiming the election of Scott Brown has absolutely nothing to do with opposition to ObamaCare.
It even took Stalin more than a few weeks to wipe Trotsky from Soviet history.
The Left is statist. It is anti-Liberty. We need no anger to point that out, just a clear, concise message we need to repeat over and over, with humor as needed.
Let’s start with the obvious. Democrats have had responsibility for the US budget for three years. The deficit in 2006, the last time the Republicans held the purse strings was $247 Billion. This year it will be $1.6 Trillion. Are we better or worse since Pelosi took charge of the Federal credit card?
The bigger the Government, the smaller the people.
