Conservatives Celebrate Death Of ISIS Hostage Kayla Mueller, Aid Worker And ‘Anti-Israel B*tch’ - RS

Conservatives celebrate death of ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller, aid worker and ‘anti-Israel b*tch’

On Tuesday, the radical Islamic group the Islamic State announced that 26-year-old hostage Kayla Mueller was dead, reportedly in a Jordanian bombing raid.

As Talking Points Memo reported, while much of the world reacted with horror and grief at the death, many conservatives took to social media to celebrate the killing and call the young aid worker a terrorist sympathizer and “anti-Israel bitch” because of her work on behalf of the occupied people of Palestine.

In a piece titled “Kayla Mueller: Dead ISIS Hostage Was Jew-Hating, Anti-Israel Bitch,” conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel wrote, “No tears for the newly-departed Kayla Mueller, the ISIS hostage whose parents confirmed today that she is dead.”

“Mueller was a Jew-hating, anti-Israel piece of crap who worked with HAMAS and helped Palestinians harass Israeli soldiers and block them from doing their job of keeping Islamic terrorists out of Israel,” Schlussel wrote.

“I have no sympathy for any of these ‘American’ (in name only!) hostages of ISIS,” she went on. “And my attitude when I hear they’ve been snuffed out is, so sad, too bad.”

One conservative website urged readers to pause before they mourn Mueller’s death and ask whether her support of Palestine was ultimately what killed her.

“People should be asking is why this young American girl was in Syria in the first place,” said Conservative-Headlines.com. “The fact is that Kayla Mueller was a Cultural Marxist who talked about her ‘privilege.’”

On Twitter, some conservatives mocked Mueller for being “liberal.”

...not to mention hypocritical. How many are themselves anti-Semetic who only claim they're pro-Israel until they can convert Jews for the End Times?

Seriously, how could anyone not puke after learning the only difference between ISIS and the GOP is the GOP are all cowards and ISIS murders people for fun. Not saying that the GOP would murder people for fun if they could get away with it, but I'm not saying they wouldn't either.

You just never know with a group of dangerous fundamentalists.

However, unlike ISIS, the GOP is chock full of fucking cowards that would shit all over themselves and offer up their first born to remain breathing and healthy. Otherwise, both groups are comprised of fundamentalist assholes that love misery and suffering.

8. Have any of the killed hostages NOT been thorns in the sides of conservatives?

Have any right-wing reporters been killed?

Have any corporate oil bandits been kidnapped?

Why is it that the people being kidnapped and killed are exactly the wrong people, i.e. the ones most likely to object to or report on the immorality of the occupation(s)?

If retribution were the underlying motive in these kidnappings would not at least some of the individuals being savaged be proponents of the occupation rather than detractors?

Whose objectives are being advanced by them engaging in horrific cruel public acts that can only bring a shit-storm of international weaponry down on their asses? They could engage in their pillaging and brutality while keeping a somewhat lower profile, and reduce the international weapons flow to their opponents. I don't get it.

I don't know the answer, but don't tell me they are stupid, irrational, or playing 3D chess, because I don't buy it.

Try this,closure of our Embassy in Yemon,King of Jordan becomes cheerleader for wiping out ISIS,now Iran is on stage denouncing this group. Noticed yesterday Anonymous is hacking all of Isis web sites and Twitter accounts. Now, if Pakistan will shut down the money stream,things will come to a end. Can only thank Bush and Cheney for their Stupid Foreign Policy.
