Colbert Lauds Media Who Labeled Norway’s Native Christian Gunmen As Muslim Extremist

» 114 comments

Norway’s confessed murderer Anders Breivik is a blond, blue-eyed Norwegian-born anti-Muslim crusader, but in the esteem of Stephen Colbert, that doesn’t mean he’s not a swarthy, ululating madman. You see, in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy that unfolded last Friday, a number of media types–of both journalistic and opinion stripe–quickly adjudged his actions to be that of Islamic extremists. And while the admitted assailant’s actions are without question extreme, he is a self-identified Christian Conservative. Oops!

Of course in Colbert’s hyperbolic world it doesn’t matter that Breivik is Christian; his behavior is so similar to that of Islamic jihadists that he coined some new adjectives — “Muslish” and “Islam-esque” — to explain this atrocity. He then goes on to defend the use other stereotypical behavior as gut-level responses good enough for any journalist to hypothesize.

The mining of this unspeakably tragic event for comedic material so early after it has occurred is, without question, a very tricky wicket to navigate without looking like an insensitive jerk. But Colbert somberly opens the segment with a rare, out-of-character moment of genuine empathy for the people of Norway. Its also worth noting that Colbert’s comedic target is the mainstream media who hastily and irresponsibly raced to offer insight that now makes them look ridiculous. Enter Colbert for delivering what appears to be just the appropriate amount of ridicule, delivered in his own, celebratory way.

    So what’s that now Colbert, Islamic Terrorists – 1000,000 attacksChristians – 4 (and Christianity had nothing to do with this guy’s motives; but the Dem Media will spin it that way!)It’s simply the Democrats’ – and THEIR MEDIA’s - continuing WAR ON CHRISTIANS!!Christians represent strong family values – which is anathema to the Democrats’ welfare-dependent, out-of-wedlock, bastard-brood-bearing voter base!So when “Jerk-Forward” MSNBC tells you this country was built with immigrants, let them know they were the LEGAL kind, who didn’t sponge off taxpayer-supported government programs when they got here – like the Democratic-supporting ILLEGALS of today do!!

    “quickly adjudged his actions to be that of Islamic extremists. ”

    I don’t remember Colbert getting upset when the Media and Bloomberg were attributing the NYC car bomb to tea party members.

     In any case, why would people NOT think it was a Muslim? Almost every single attack up to this point have been executed by Muslims. 

    This is nothing but more fake outrage generated by a Democrat activist.

    Yet Colbert was fine with the MSM attributing the NYC car bomb (and several other attacks) to the tea parties. A group that’s never been involved in any kind of violence.

    100000! Did you just pull that out of your ass? All the abortion attacks, racist attacks, Oklahoma types, crusades, war on terror, all those do not count. Oh not to forget the burning of witches and the IRA vs Unionists in NI. Please don’t play the typical typecast dummy, we need to be clear about what we write not just pull rubbish out of nowhere.

    And how many media made that report. Why don’t you go and check and get back to me. While all of them reported that this was a Muslim terrorist actions. Your comparison is out of bound and shouldn’t be brought up to begin with.

    Let’s not limit this to the media, Esteban. Right here at Mediaite we had “Moderate” and “Pablo” jumping into the search for the right-wing Norse God magically turned into Islamic radical before any details were known.

    Look out, there is a 6’6″ fair-skinned blond man with blue eyes! He’s most certainly an Islamic radical!

    I read somewhere that all the families of the thousands Muslim civilians killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya, are very relieved that their deaths weren’t about religion. Being dead because of religion is much worse then being dead because of politics.

    I liked your post by accident / / /

    I’m so tired of you left wingers pretending to be better than everyone, when every time there is an attack in the US, you try to claim it was perpetrated by a Republican or tea party member. You’re all just as bad as the people you point your fingers at.

    The point has always been that terrorism is not about religious faith, but bad people using religious faith as a smokescreen for hatred. Whether that be Islamics doing that, or Christians, it is terrible.

    “Of course in Colbert’s hyperbolic world it doesn’t matter that Breivik is Christian;”

    What evidence do you have that he is a Christian, Colby?  Do you know if he goes to church?  Do you know what denomination he is?  Did he scream “Jesus is great” as he was mowing people down?  

    Moron.

    Very true, Kudos for that lucid post.  Amazing that some will try to make political hay out of this psycho.  Didn’t they learn from the AZ shootings?

    Took you a while to dig it out, but its still short of 100000. Memo to you and freaks like you, there were no Terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan before the war started, they both had functioning Govts. Now Terror is the norm in both countries and Afghanistan is the lead producer of Heroine, something they didn’t dear do before.

    skyfet…

    There no terror attacks in Iraq before 9-11 because Saddam ran an iron fisted regime in which you would be killed, your family killed, your wives and daughters taken and raped, and anyone associated with you would suffer hoprribly if his regime even suspected anything smacking of sedition. He was more barbaric than the barbarians we now face, and it worked. That’s your idea of some dort of poltical nirvana?

    There WERE terror attacks in Afghanistan. Warlords fought the Taliban in a vicous internecine war. Both sides used bombs and the murder of civilians against one another. But don’t take my word for it. Google it. Do a little research.

    Once more you prove yourself to be a reliable lefty. All emothion and bile and no fact. That’s why the left is sliding downhill on a rocket sled as we speak.

  • Harry Flashman

    By the way, did you actually say that Afghanistan didn’t produce heroin before the war? Wrong again, as some even lazy research would prove. The opium poppy has long been an Afghan cash crop.

    But, hey, let’s not let fact get in the way of a good narrative, eh?

  • GoNavy

    Unless of course you include state terrorism on their own people. Seems like terror was the norm in both countries, just different people doing it.

    What type of heroines do they produce?  My favorite is Wonder Woman.
    Actually there was one year that the Taliban cracked down on Heroin (2000), prior to that it was a leading producer of the opiate.

  • Harry Flashman

    Colbert’s thought process run about as deep as a a coffee cup saucer. The guy is a psycho who didn’t kill those people in the name of Christianity.

    Islamists carry out nearly every other terror attack in the world, and they do in in the name of Islam and Allah. THAT’S why people quickly jumped to the conclusion that they were behind this one.

    Why don’t you move yourself and Family to Baghdad and in exchange send an Iraqi family to the states. You sit in your comfortable abode and tell the Iraqis that they have it better than Saddam. You cannot believe what you are saying, if you do you are a deluded individual. No one unless a Bush apologist would spout the BS that came from you. Are you kidding me?

    In Afghanistan, the war ended in the late 80s to early 90s. If not why were American companies courting the Taliban to build a pipeline through their country. The Taliban were functioning as a Govt. before they were blown apart. Go and ask the Heroine dealers if they are not having the time of their lives. And got to the priory’s in Afghanistan who are responsible in treating the children who are addicts.

    Chronicle of the atrocities committed
    by Saddam Hussein:

    Hussein’s regime killed, tortured, raped and
    terrorized the Iraqi people and its neighbors for over two decades.

    Hundreds of thousands of people died as a
    result of Saddam’s actions.

    Saddam had approximately 40 of his own
    relatives murdered.

    1980-88: Iran-Iraq war left 150,000 to 340,000 Iraqis and
    450,000 to 730,000 Iranians dead.

    1983-1988: Documented chemical attacks by Iraqi regime caused
    some 30,000 Iraqi and Iranian deaths.

    1988: Chemical attack on Kurdish village of Halabja
    killed approximately 5,000 people.

    1987-1988: Iraqi regime used chemical agents in attacks against
    at least 40 Kurdish villages.

    1990-91: 1,000 Kuwaitis were killed in Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

    1991: Bloody suppression of Kurdish and Shi’a uprisings in
    northern and southern Iraq
    killed at least 30,000 to 60,000. At least 2,000 Kurdish villages were
    destroyed during the campaign of terror.

    2001: Amnesty International
    report: “Victims of torture in Iraq are subjected to a wide range
    of forms of torture, including the gouging out of eyes, severe beatings and
    electric shocks… some victims have died as a result and many have been left
    with permanent physical and psychological damage.”

    Human Rights Watch: Saddam’s 1987-1988 campaign of terror against the
    Kurds killed at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds.

    Refugees International: “Oppressive government policies have led to the
    internal displacement of 900,000 Iraqis.”

    Iraq’s 13 million Shiite Muslims, the majority of Iraq’s
    population of approximately 22 million, faced severe restrictions on their
    religious practice.

    Photo Essays

    FBI: Iraqi government was involved in a plot to assassinate
    former President George Bush during his April 14-16, 1993, visit to Kuwait.

    The Iraqi regime has repeatedly refused visits
    by human rights monitors.

    From 1992 until 2002, Saddam prevented the
    U.N. reporters from visiting Iraq.

    I know where Iraq is…

He never cites anything in the Bible as motivating him.

    I also support that a nut is a nut, and if he (rarely a woman, right?) in any way brings religion into his rantings, that is the insanity, not the religion talking. On the other hand, Colbert was stating that the bad guy came from a conservative Christian background, and Anders Breivik hated Muslims for being opposed to that culture. There is no denying that in the mind of the crazy man, it was a culture war.

    The main point of the entire segment was that so many “journalists” jumped on the opportunity to blame Muslims. Colbert was brilliant, as usual. The best quote to remember from his satire is: “That’s not prejudice. It’s probability.”

    The links both show the same thing. That’s the CBS logo, not “MSM.” Mayor Bloomberg made a guess, and you can call it an accusation if you wish, but I will still call it a guess.
    The clip does not, I say again does not, indicate that the reporter supported this or that the network repeated it.  It is even possible that the clip was cut short to hide any doubt that the reporter or network might have about Bloomberg’s comment.
    Giving two links to the same clip does not double the credibility of the accusation against network, and and where is the proof that Colbert did or did make fun of it?

    Worst record in History? Your history of world history? Here is a list of some conquerors your education may have lacked:

    Genghis Khan -Mongol empire
    Thutmose III – Egyptian Empire

    Alexander the Great – Macedonian Empire
    Napoleon Bonaparte – French Empire
    Cheng (Ch’in shih-huang-ti) – Chinese Empire

    Julius Caesar – Republic of Rome
    Attila the Hun – Hunnic Empire
    Hrorekr (Rurik) – Russian Empire
    Charles the Great – Charlemagne – Frankish Empire
    Sultan Muhammad the Caliph.
    Timur the Lame – He invaded Baghdad in June 1401. After the capture of the city, 20,000
    of its citizens including Muslims were massacred. Timur ordered that
    every soldier should return with at least two severed human heads to
    show him.

    World War 1 saw the end of the German, Russian, Ottoman, and Hungarian empires, leading to the establishment of countries in Europe and the Middle East. The League of Nations is formed.

    World War 2 saw the defeat of the Empire of Japan allowing China, Korea, and Manchuria to be free of Japanese rule. The fall of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the liberation of Europe.

    The Cold War saw the dissolution of the USSR and we became the lone Super Power, which I am sure deeply bothers you.

    Dominican Republic, Grenada, and Panama are all free because of he blood we spilled.

    Few Westerners know that the Muslims launched their own Crusades outside of Arabia
    two years after Muhammad’s death of a fever in AD 632. In October to December 630, after the conquest of Mecca in January 630, Muhammad
    launches a Crusade to Tabuk, a city in the north of Saudi Arabia today, but in the seventh
    century it was under the control of northern tribes. “Crusade” is the right
    word, because early Muslim sources say the army had 30,000 men and 10,000 horsemen and
    because Muhammad did so under the banner of Islam. On his way north, Muhammad extracts (or
    extorts) “agreements”—without provocation—from smaller Christian Arab
    tribes to pay the jizyah tax, instead of being attacked and killed (a jizya tax is exacted
    from non-Muslims for the “privilege” of living under Islam; see Sura 9:29). They
    also had the option to convert, but most do not and agree, rather, to pay the tax. Once
    the Muslims reach Tabuk, however, the Byzantine army fails to materialize. Muhammad the
    prophet had believed a false rumor. So Muhammad and his large army return home.

    Written like a true public school educated America hater. America was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Period. Only liberals try to rewrite that.

    Worst record in History? Your history of world history? Here is a list of some conquerors your education may have lacked:

    Genghis Khan -Mongol empire
    Thutmose III – Egyptian Empire
    Darius I – Persian Empire
    Alexander the Great – Macedonian Empire
    Napoleon Bonaparte – French Empire
    Cheng (Ch’in shih-huang-ti) – Chinese Empire
    Pompeius Magnus – Roman Empire
    Julius Caesar – Republic of Rome
    Attila the Hun – Hunnic Empire
    Hrorekr (Rurik) – Russian Empire
    Charles the Great – Charlemagne – Frankish Empire
    Sultan Muhammad the Caliph.
    Timur the Lame – He invaded Baghdad in June 1401. After the capture of the city, 20,000
    of its citizens including Muslims were massacred. Timur ordered that
    every soldier should return with at least two severed human heads to
    show him.

    World War 1 saw the end of the German, Russian, Ottoman, and Hungarian empires, leading to the establishment of countries in Europe and the Middle East. The League of Nations is formed.

    World War 2 saw the defeat of the Empire of Japan allowing China, Korea, and Manchuria to be free of Japanese rule. The fall of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the liberation of Europe.

    The Cold War saw the dissolution of the USSR and we became the lone Super Power, which I am sure deeply bothers you.

    Dominican Republic, Grenada, and Panama are all free because of he blood we spilled.

    Few Westerners know that the Muslims launched their own Crusades outside of Arabia
    two years after Muhammad’s death of a fever in AD 632. In October to December 630, after the conquest of Mecca in January 630, Muhammad
    launches a Crusade to Tabuk, a city in the north of Saudi Arabia today, but in the seventh
    century it was under the control of northern tribes. “Crusade” is the right
    word, because early Muslim sources say the army had 30,000 men and 10,000 horsemen and
    because Muhammad did so under the banner of Islam. On his way north, Muhammad extracts (or
    extorts) “agreements”—without provocation—from smaller Christian Arab
    tribes to pay the jizyah tax, instead of being attacked and killed (a jizya tax is exacted
    from non-Muslims for the “privilege” of living under Islam; see Sura 9:29). They
    also had the option to convert, but most do not and agree, rather, to pay the tax. Once
    the Muslims reach Tabuk, however, the Byzantine army fails to materialize. Muhammad the
    prophet had believed a false rumor. So Muhammad and his large army return home.

    No, not at all. There are several divisions within the Muslim faith. Shi’ite and Sunni are the best known. I believe that is because they make up the vast majority of Muslims. More than 90%? There is a lot of strife between the two. I believe the Sunnis are much more friendly to us, while Shi’ites are the source of most terrorists, but don’t take my word for it. If you think Muslims are the enemy, you definitely have to learn a lot more about them.

    First, all reporting I have seen indicates that the Bad Guy (I won’t bother memorizing his name ‘cuz he doesn’t deserve it) did both attacks. That is the bombing and the shooting. That would be easy enough to do. If you are referring to something on a different day, maybe a few years ago, then give more details.

    Second, you must be still smarting from having called it wrong in the first place.

    Third, not all of us liberals have been trying to tie this to religion. Several of us keep telling you guys that we know the difference between religious motivation and just plain crazy.

    Non-denominational as in believing in the same God as the Christians? Granted, it’s a very loose interpretation, but fundamentally correct…

    And what did I say that makes you think I think Muslims are the Enemy? Can one not even talk about them without it turning into an accusation of something anti-Muslim?

    Anders Breivik was not a Christian, but a Darwinian.  He may have had some beliefs, but was not a True Christain, so, as usual, a Liberal was Lying again!  Tell me it ain’t so!  Anders is Insane, that is all.  I can understand his hatred of Islam, but what I cannot understand is why kill your own people, good people, instead of going into a muslim neighborhood or mosque and kill muslims, not decent people!  That certainly is not going to start a war with the muslims, you have to kill muslims for that to happen.  Yep, the idiot is Insane!

    Sorry. My bad. I did say IF you think, but that does seem to imply that I was picking on you in particular. Should have said “anyone who thinks,” but even that seems to imply an “accusation.”

    I did not catch the subtly of an entire religion being non-denominational, whether Christian or Muslim. The whole Crusade thing does not lead to that idea. The Crusaders were Catholic. No Protestants yet. And, they would as soon kill a Jew as a Muslim for not believing in Christ as more than just another prophet. Jews and Muslims do agree on that opinion/attitude.

    My concern is that we don’t group all Muslims, like they are all molecules of mercury. Somebody else said that.

    Sorry, I am being just a little obtuse. What I really mean to say is that claiming any religious association between a murderer and a sect of any form is not a clear way to express it. People who do kill in the name of God for the reason of belief for any reason must be classified identically. Muslim and Christian does not matter. They all believe in the same God, the same kind of afterlife, the same punishments.

    My point is that it’s not really fair to claim a difference between a Christian zealot and a Muslim extremist. Both are doing exactly the same thing. It is a commitment to a religious ideology that causes the act.

    Blaming the
    muslims for all the terror attacks and violence around the world is ignorant. It
    does not depend on the religion if one chooses to be violent or not. I am a
    true Christian and believe in Jesus. Even though I’m Christian, some of my best
    friends are muslims. In all the years not even once did they tried to convince
    me that I should change my religion, but instead they even supported me in my
    believes. They are some of the most peaceful people I have met in my entire
    life.

     

    Terrorist
    attacks have existed before 9/11 and will continue to exist as long as there
    are people willing to be violent. It’s true that the extreme muslims have cause
    a lot of deaths. But their hate is so great that they not only kill Christians,
    but actually most of their victims are from the same religion, such as the
    bombings of cars in Iraq
    where the majority of the victims are peaceful civilians. Other form of
    terror attacks are the people who go amok (people whose only goal is to kill as
    many civilians as they can). The amok shooting have sadly become an often phenomenon
    in Europe and the USA.
    Teenagers shooting students in school, a guy who kills people in the super
    market or a 40 year old who hunts young people on an island in Norway. In most
    cases (if not all) the shooter was not muslim and it has nothing to do with
    religion.

     

    Another
    thing that I want to point out is the new rise of the right extreme. I live in Austria, Europe;
    the country where Hitler was born. The political situation here in Europe is
    quite scary (I don’t know how it is in the USA so I won’t speak about it). For
    the last couple of years we have been so scared of muslims invading Europe and
    causing terror attacks on us that we managed to miss the rise of many very
    right wing parties, some of them even sit in parliaments all across Europe. This parties are willing to show violence against
    everybody who doesn’t think like them.

     

    The Norwegian
    maniac mentioned Austria
    in his manifest and said that he looks up towards some of these politicians. As
    the racist party here found out about it, many of its supporters wrote on the parties webpage that they understand the motives of the massacre in Norway, and
    that it wasn’t as bad as everybody says. This party has 24% of the votes here
    in Austria
    and the tendency is rising. Something that is not seen in the news anywhere,
    not even here, is the violence that people show. In Belgium a Christian got stabbed in
    the middle of the street by a neo nazi because he didn’t look white. In Vienna 5 years ago a
    friend got beat up by 3 nazis and when the police came they didn’t even
    arrested them, but let them go after a 10 min talk. If this trend will continue
    there will be something more to fear than just terror attacks from the Middle East, but extreme hatred from within.

     

    The 30s and
    40s showed extreme hatred towards one specific group, causing millions of
    deaths. Please let us not make the same mistake again.

    Muslims well feel so upset when someone makes a joke about thire prophet, and by the way even if someone joked about Juses Muslims will feel upset, because they believe that Juses is a prophet and if they don’t, they are not Muslims.

    how would you feel when you see someone makes a joke about Juses?
