Debbie,

Once again, I vomited in my mouth again after reading about another set of morons.

Hitler did not differentiate between Jews who were religious and Jews who denied their culture. The Muslims won’t either.

These morons are typical of Berkely. My question is why taxpayers tolerate an anti-Semitic professor with no reasonable credentials, who, if he spouted anti-Muslim, anti-black, or anti-Hispanic rhetoric, would have been fired long ago.

While our students are learning political bs from a moron like this Muslim professor, the Chinese are learning electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemical engineering.

They make Mondoweiss proud. Its too bad we worked so hard for their freedom. They are the last people on earth who appreciate what it truly means to be free and they learned nothing from being captive in Iranian jail. Some people never do take stock where they are in life and choose a new direction.

Good article as usual Debbie and once again maam, you’re spot on on what you’re saying. As for these hikers, a few weeks ago I commented on this topic and I said that if these hikers wanted to do any hiking, they ought to hike in the Rocky Mountain states in the “Interior-Western states” or they could’ve hiked in the Appalachia mountains in Kentucky, New York State, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee or Alabama. Since they hate this great republic of ours, they could’ve atleast hiked in western Canada, there plenty of mountains in that part of Canada. But they decided to hike in Iran for lord knows what, and from the looks of it, I think these three stupid hikers was unaware and very ignorant of the situation going in Iran, with their government being runned by islamist-mullahs, etc.

I won’t be surprised if some trolls come onto this thread and flood it up with their stupidity, anti-semitism (against DS and jewish people in general), etc. like what happend two years ago when Debbie originally linked a story like this on this blog of hers. If that occurs, the trolls might be “Government shill trolls” who troll on blogsites (like this one and many others across the net) and try so hard to contradict what the messenger wrote or use personal attacks against the messenger, etc. And here’s a link that I found on a facebook page last week:

When they were first kidnapped, I knew it couldn’t just be an accident that they went into Iran. I think they wanted to prove to the world that nothing would happen if they crossed the border.
I wanted them to be released, though, but after reading this article from Debbie, I wish they’d stay in Iran. They ought to go back and live there.

I cannot imagine the Israeli Defense Forces even wanting nerds like these in their ranks.

That Shane Bauer may be from Minnesota, but he is by no means corn-fed. I’d like to say more (and worse) but my Christian conscience is keeping me from it.

If you don’t like America, renounce your citizenship and GET OUT!

All these anti-Jewish Jews ought to be collectively turned over to the likes of Hizbullah, Hamas and Iran, so that the latter can have a field day @ claimimg that they obliterated the Jews. Maybe if they were divvied up b/w the above groups as well as the Muslim Brotherhood & al Qaeda, then these groups could, after they’re done, start fighting each other over who’s the greatest Jew haters, and massacre each other in the process.

Bauer, Shourd and Fattal- The Three “Mosque-a-teers”

CornCoLeo on October 10, 2011 at 3:51 pm

Now, c’mon, enough of the animosity written against these three university students whyo represented all Americans so well during their recent trials and tribulations.

As a reward for their stalwart endurance, how about having everyone chip-in a few dollars and we can get these three explorers a nice sail boat. I think there is a veritable “Tahiti-like” country in the Northwest upper corner of the Indian Ocean — SOMALIA. It is really like Disney World. It has a treasure trove of PIRATES for their entertainment, seamanship education, and pirate games for their thrilling adventures on the high seas.

Almost makes me wish I could go on a voyage such as that…you too?

far lef liberalism is a mental disorder. Savage was right. Those people are simply diseased.

Ronen Magid on October 10, 2011 at 4:13 pm

Huh, Josh and Shane, do you not realize that this wacko muz and his compatriots in the ME would gladly decapiate you? As for now you are a useful idiot for the religion of pieces.

jake49 on October 10, 2011 at 4:16 pm

Great! The three hikers have become the Three Stooges!

Ghostwriter on October 10, 2011 at 5:48 pm

I hate these three fools with a passion. I was hoping they would never get out. Why anyone would waste any sympathy on these three morons is beyond me. They are patently UNREACHABLE. If you spend all that time in Iran and don’t kiss the USA dirt it shows that you ARE dirt.

I can’t even stomach them. Just horrible. I guess I could get some satisfaction with knowing that the Moooooooslims will go after them FIRST but that still bothers me (not for THEM) because I know how the Mooooslims feel about Jews. All Jews. No matter if you’re a dhimmi or NOT. Chomsky and all the other dhimmi so-called Jews are gonna get hacked before I get hacked by the death cult. I get it. Have no idea why they don’t. Has to be the mental disorder.

And as for the Copts. It is sad BUT just as Scott has alluded to, DS has filled us in on what they are about. Because I know that about them (and know how the Mooooooslims think) they don’t have a chance in hell. It is gonna get more barbaric. They should have flee’d the country when the first part of the so-called “Arab Spring” started. But if they thought their NEW MB Overlords were gonna give them ANY quarter THAT IS WHERE THEY MESSED UP (other than Jew hatred). They should have never sided with them regarding Jews and such. Now some will cry (futile) and others won’t because sometimes you have to reap what you sow. And the tree is gonna get the ax and there is nothing the tree can do to stop it.

Debbie, you forgot “not only was you class.” Great grammar in action.

Occam's Tool on October 10, 2011 at 6:12 pm

3 more Chomskyites. So one of them got here through a Jewish birth canal. F***’em.

Not Ovenready on October 10, 2011 at 10:42 pm

Amen, Not Ovenready.

JeffE on October 10, 2011 at 11:05 pm

Bauer, Shourd and Fattal are TRASHES! Throw them out of the USA!

Bob on October 11, 2011 at 12:38 am

I know you shouldn’t judge people by their looks, but this trio looks like sleezy, Leftist, anti-Americans. And, viola, that’s what they are.

JeffT on October 11, 2011 at 11:13 am

Thanks for this gem Debbie. I was pretty sure from the start that these sleazeballs were not what they seemed. Now you’ve confirmed it. They should have been left there to rot.

One recalls the episode of the BBC’s Alan Johnston, kidnapped in Gaza during the Hamas coup. The propaganda organisation’s mawkish bleatings and interminable coverage effectively distracted attention from the real story. Given the BBC’s history of distortion and prejudice, it remains eminently possible that the taking of Johnston involved connivance, and that the experience of these three individuals, holders of equally clear proclivities, was also a sham, probably to generate goodwill towards the Iranian regime during the recent pantomime, or perhaps to obscure some other muslimperialist shenanigan.
