Fox News analyst figured out a way to spin the death of the first man on the moon into Muslim and Obama bashing.:
Fox News Analyst Reminds Us What Neil Armstrong’s Death Is Really About: Obama Spreading Islam
by Louis Peitzman (Gawker)
While you were busy mourning Neil Armstrong, Fox News analyst Monica Crowley was looking for a way to politicize his death.
She found it in one of the far right’s most insidious tropes — Islamophobia.
As we remember Neil Armstrong, let’s not forget that Obama changed part of
@nasa‘s mission to do “Muslim outreach.”#Really#WhatTheBleep
No. No, he did not.
Crowley’s follow-up explanation only underlined her idiocy.
FACT: “NASA chief says agency’s goal is Muslim outreach, forgets to mention space”csmonitor.com/Science/2010/0…
As The Daily Dolt points out, the article Crowley cites is hardly damaging to the Obama administration.
In an interview last month on Al-Jazeera, NASA chief Charlie Bolden said that one of NASA’s foremost tasks is to engage with Muslim nations. The White House disagreed, suggesting that the agency should perhaps focus on space exploration.
Let’s recap: use an American hero’s death to espouse a lie, justify said lie with “evidence” that directly contradicts it. Great work, Monica Crowley.
Surely she’s seen the error of her ways, right? Here’s her apology post—
Having to constantly explain facts to the kooks is exhausting. Need ice cream.
Do you mean astronaut ice cream, Monica? Like the kind NASA is going to serve the Muslims while they talk them into destroying our American way of life?
Earth, our number of intelligent life forms is dwindling.
