I wouldn't write a diary yet, as I am pretty new as a registered member, although a longtime lurker at the site, but this baffles me. I understand that there has been a front page story at Daily Kos, but where is the MSM?
I am really disturbed by the lack of media coverage of what I consider to be an act of domestic terrorism. Where is the outrage? Are we still covering incessantly the disappearance (perhaps death, admittedly) of a little girl in Florida but not an act of hate on a group so outrageous as to bring up thoughts of gas chambers? Is gassing not torture?
I realize that no one died in this incident. But if the Republicans are going to brag about how "there haven't been any terrorist attacks on our soil since 9/11" which is already a lie (anthrax), well, shouldn't we be bringing this up?
I would like to get the story of the anti-Muslim film that went out in the Dayton newspaper. I would like to hear the backstories of the victims, even if they are thankfully not dead. I would like to hear whether the Muslims in Ohio feel safe now or ever. I want to see this on the news, dammit!
If this incident had happened in a church filled with cute little blonde Christian children, we would be hearing about it night and day. Understand, I am the mother of a cute little blonde Christian child and I'm terribly offended that other mothers are not treated with the same respect that I would be in their situation. I find that horrifying.
I'm afraid all I hear are crickets.
