Mourning Pvt. Long

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 8, 2009 10:32 AM

The funeral for Private William Long, gunned down last week by alleged jihadi shooter Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, will be held today.

Arkansas will fly its flags at half-staff. He will be buried at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery. Keep Pvt. Long and his family in your thoughts and prayers — as well as wounded Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula and his family.

And let’s hope there’s none of this vulgar Muslim propagandizing at the service, as there was at a memorial even for Pvt. Long last week. Video clip sent in my scores of outraged readers:

    What a sad day. Made more so by the lack of “outrage” from PBO and the administration as a whole. Don’t worry Private Long and family. The rest of the country is outraged, and will continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayer.

    Spupid idiot:

    “9/11 was an inside job. I love Jesus he was a prophet. I respect all humans (except Private Long of course).”

    Just a bunch of liberal talking points from a devil who had nothing better to do then go after her 15 minutes of fame.

    The film lacked 1 thing to be perfect – an a$$ whoopin.

    Basically everyone and everything’s to blame for anything that ever happened in the world, except for Muslims.

    Jesus wasn’t the Son of God, but He was a prophet.

    Jews own Fox News and the New York Times.

    Nothing you wouldn’t expect to hear at a Code Pink or other lefty rally. In fact, I’ll be shocked if this woman doesn’t have a job with the Obama administration by the end of the year.

    Lan, in summary, the hajab woman is a truther, as revealed by her bumper sticker saying that “9/11 was an inside job.” She yells a lot of talking points, calls Bush a terrorist, you know…the usual truther blather.

    I do not believe she was just driving by and wanted to defend Islam’s good name as the peaceful religion. She was a plant for the media.

    Hopefully there will be a peaceful funeral for Private Long.

Islam does not respect the Living let alone the Dead so this trend will continue until America is fed up with these type of despicable acts.

    I mentioned this on Logistic Monster’s blog…who sent this woman? Look at her dress this woman doesn’t get to do anything that she isn’t directed to do by the man in her family. Really whoever sent her out is a HUGE COWARD. A pretty thick middle eastern accent for a home grown American if she is an American? Maybe Arkansas should check and see if they have anyone overstaying their visas? She states she just happened by? Something she was told to say if someone asked her what she was doing at this remembrance rally? Really just a drive by protest by a heavily accented woman in traditional Muslim garb? Sure that happens all the time/sarc.

    It might give a local reporter something to do down in Little Rock to find out who she is and what org if any she belongs to.

    God Bless You William Long God Speed.

    The more people like her do this, the more she’ll turn people against them. She should have respect for the murdered soldier. She should have said that the act against the soldier (fighting for her freedom) should not have happened. She didn’t.

    I saw this when it first went up, but couldn’t comment at the time. I have only a couple of things to say.

    First, rest easy, Pvt. Long. You were taken from us too soon, but I hope to see you one day and thank you face to face for your devotion to this country. Know that there are still some of us willing to stand in the gap (militarily and/or spiritually).

    Second, that woman says she loves Jesus. She doesn’t; she loves the Muslim’s Isa, who most emphatically is not Jesus – Jesus, who was and is most emphatically not Muslim. Just as Allah is not yhwh/God.

    But Jesus loves her, and I pray that she and all those deluded souls like her wake up and smell the BS that is Islam before it’s too late.

    Where I grocery shop I am seeing more and more women with burkas and groups of middle eastern men gathering together in the parking lot. My question is, What are these Muslims doing here? Seriously? I want to know?

    You cannot tell me that the increasing hordes of Muslims I see where I live is an anomaly for just here. We have a large population of Somali Muslims here, too. Why are they here?

    Well I think I know. Multiply my city many times over around the country. Anybody want to venture a guess what all these Muslims are up to?

    The frustrating thing is that there is nothing I can do to stop what I KNOW IS HAPPENING!

    A very close and very liberal relative forarded this email today. Predictable and disgusting at the same time.

    Dear People for the American Way Supporter,

    Extreme, overheated rhetoric can have dangerous consequences.

    By now, you may have heard or read that last Sunday, Dr. George Tiller, a physician who has been targeted for years for his willingness to provide abortion procedures often in the most difficult circumstances, was assassinated in his church in Kansas.

    Freedom of speech is one of our most cherished constitutional values and rights — and should always be protected. But just because speech might be constitutionally protected does not make it right or decent.

    There can be little doubt that the irresponsible, inflammatory, dehumanizing and violent speech of some around the abortion debate — much of it targeted at Dr. Tiller himself — contributed to this tragedy. The reaction to the assassination by some of these same people has been pretty shocking.

    Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry said Tiller “reaped what he sowed.”

    Ann Coulter basically equated a woman’s decision to have an abortion with a would-be assassin’s decision to kill an abortion doctor.

    And Wiley Drake, a former vice president of Southern Baptist Convention who last year was Alan Keyes’ running mate, called Tiller’s death “an answer to prayer.” Drake then unabashedly told FOX broadcaster Alan Colmes on his radio show that he prays for the death of President Obama!

    Dr. Tiller’s death is a sad reminder that stoking the flames of hate has serious ramifications, yet the Radical Right is seemingly doing everything it can to continue the extreme demonization of its opponents, even suggesting violence with the use of images.

    In the wake of Tiller’s death, a Religious Right group calling itself Answers in Genesis has a billboard up in Texas and a TV ad comparing Atheism to murder. And the FOX Nation web site actually featured side-by-side articles with images that appear to have firearms aimed at the heads of progressive leaders who also happen to be African American. The absolute best that can be said of this is that FOX Nation is guilty of sloppy and irresponsible negligence.

    It’s incredibly important that we all stay vigilant in exposing the fear mongering and hate that drive people inclined towards violence to take action. PFAW’s RightWingWatch.org blog is one such place for activists like you to stay informed. Please visit the blog often, sign up for regular “Best of the Blog” updates and help spread the word about this resource.

    Thank you for all you do.

    – Michael B. Keegan, President

    P.S. On a far more positive note, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch on Thursday signed into law legislation that makes New Hampshire the sixth state in which same-sex couples now enjoy legal marriage equality. This is a tremendous step in the fight to make sure ALL of our LGBT Americans have equal protection under the law. A special thanks to all PFAW members and activists in New Hampshire who took action in the effort to pass these bills (New Hampshire folks, please consider calling your legislators to thank them as well as Gov. Lynch).

    Of course, Michelle and the rest of us saw this coming:

    Prepare for collective demonization of pro-lifers and Christians

    “People for the American Way” doesn’t seem to care much about the American soldiers who were shot (and Pvt. Long killed) the very next day.

    Why the he!! did she think it appropriate to show up at the funeral of a soldier killed by another Muslim whackjob to espouse the positive views of Muslims? by spouting the stuff she did? other than to try incite a response?

    How is this any different than flushing a Koran in the toilet, which never happened?

    Why is this any different from a soldier at Gitmo handling a Koran without gloves?
