Put Anyone Who Is A "Known Muslim" In A Separate Line! Mike Gallagher
By CSPANJunkie Monday Dec 28, 2009 12:00pm

December 28, 2009 FOX and Friends

Dave N.: Well, that certainly didn't take long. And as usual, the chief turds -- in this case, the execrable Mike Gallagher -- have come floating to the surface of the punch bowl:

Gallagher: But guys, let's look at the inevitable, the 800-pound gorilla in the room. How about we scrutinize young Middle Eastern men to stop this.

What happens when El Al Airlines, the airline run and operated by the state of Israel, if a Palestinian tries to board that plane? Do you think he goes through an extra degree of security? Well, let's do that with Muslims, let's do that with anybody named Abdul or Mohammad or Ahmed, let's take them and put them in a room and make sure they don't have explosives sewn into their underwear.

...

Brian Kilmeade: Do you think we ought to profile any Muslim?

Gallagher: Yes! I think we ought to do what El Al does. Ask anybody who knows El Al what they do with Palestinians who attempt to board El Al. We should anybody who is a known Muslim and put them in a separate line. Call it the VIP line! Treat them with respect!

Christine Fair: That is so preposterous. One-third of the world's population is Muslim. Trying to treat every single Muslim as a terrorist is simply untenable, it's fearmongering.

Gallagher: Who are you afraid of offending Christine? Al Qaeda?

7. So Stupid It Hurts...
So what qualifies someone to be a "Muslim"? A name? A look? The whim of the screener? Other than the obvious 14th ammendment conflicts the concept is as stupid as the asshat who said it. But it sure sounds good...makes those "patriots" think they're being real tough.

I've long felt if there was another REAL Al Queda attack (not some conjecture from media talking heads) it'd be done by someone as lilly white as a sheet.

10. You can recognize a Muslim by the color of his skin.
It is the same as many Jews. In the United States most Muslims are Black. In China the Muslims look like Asians. Maybe it is not as easy as this idiot thinks.

11. I'm sure the yellow armbands he has in mind will help...
What a flesh-crawling creep.

17. Lionel used to do drive-time on WABC with Mike Gallagher and would
tear him a new one each morning.

I wish they were still together . . . .
