The BBC on Rage Boy

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, July 16. 2007 15:21
The BBC's target audience.
Here's an interview that you've got to hear:

It's not surprising in the least to see that the BBC has called in Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR to try and add some good old-fashioned race-baiting to the whole Islamic Rage Boy phenomenon. Hooper pulls every dirty trick in the book: comparing Potfry to the Nazis, whinging about how "racist" it is to imply that all Muslims are somehow angry, but in all of that he manages to completely miss the point—We laugh at Rage Boy because, well, he's uniquely funny. No surprise there—he lives in the isolated world of identity politics, so it's expected for him not to have the slightest shred of a sense of "irony."

As I said, you must hear the interview, so please go forth and do so. And be sure to drop a note to share your encouragement with R. H. Potfry for his excellent work against the senior propagandist!

Incidentally, I was also contacted about this show, but in true sandbagging fashion, the press agent at the BBC "accidentally" neglected to mention that CAIR would be involved. Coincidence?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Ibrahim "Honest Abe" Hooper is in on the Rage Boy act now - this keeps getting better all the time.

His relentless humorlessness is actually kinda funny in this context.
