Swing-State newspapers distribute 'terror' videos


A 60-minute DVD, titled "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," is being distributed in millions of newspapers across the country this week primarily in swing states through an advertising purchase by a shadowy group called the Clarion Fund.

The Editor&Publisher report:

"Despite some protests from Muslim and liberal activists, the newspapers -- all hard hit by drops in ad revenue in recent months -- have explained that the DVD does not violate their usual standards; see our exchange with The New York Times below. A spokesperson there said the Times last Sunday inserted 145,000 DVDs in its papers delivered in the following markets: Denver, Miami/Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, Detroit, Kansas City, St Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee/Madison. Note: These are all in swing states.

The documentary showcases scenes of Muslim children being encouraged to become suicide bombers, interspersed with shots of Nazi rallies. 'The threat of Radical Islam is the most important issue facing us today,'' reads the sleeve of the DVD. ''But it's a topic that neither the presidential candidates nor the media are discussing openly. It's our responsibility to ensure we can all make an informed vote in November.''

It was shown on Fox News just before the 2006 mid-term elections, and conservative activist David Horowitz screened the film on college campuses during 2007. An article at the group's site, www.radicalislam.org, endorsed John McCain as the strongest candidate this past week, then was pulled down. The DVD carries on-screen text near the outset that it is not indicting most Muslims."

Via Eric Ose, here's a state-by-state list of most of the other 70 newspapers in swing states that have agreed to deliver this dvd to their subscribers:

Yes.. Forget about the trillions of dollars the unborn will have to pay for our wars of conquest. Forget about the economy. Forget about the police state Dubya's installed. Forget about the bailouts and the wreckage of our housing market. Forget about all the hate we've generated worldwide and all the innocent people we've killed. Forget about the torture camps and the the renditions. Forget about the coups and the secessions we're quietly cooking up with your tax dollars.

Forget about everything real and substantial that will affect you, your family and your loved ones.. Forget about everything that is good and moral. Forget all that and come vote against the Islamic Terror Boogeyman.


After all, they don't believe in Jesus! And we all know Jesus beat the crap out of everyone who didn't believe in him.
