Fox News Guest Suggests Innocent Brazilian was Al Qaeda Decoy?!!?
WTF?

Wow, does it get any crazier than this? (found on Crooks and Liars via Atrios):

IT WOULDN'T BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THEM TO PICK ON SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT BE MIDDLE EASTERN BUT WHO MAY LOOK MIDDLE EASTERN. SAY, SOMEONE WHO IS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, SOMEONE WHO IS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA, AND, SAY, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THEY'RE RACIAL PROFILING US, SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET SOME PUBLIC OPINION ON OUR SIDE. LET'S DRESS THIS GUY UP, TELL HIM TO ACT SUSPICIOUS, AND IF THE POLICE APPROACH HIM, TELL HIM TO RUN AWAY, AND WHEN THE POLICE CATCH HIM, THEN HE APPEARS TO BE INNOCENT, SO, YOU KNOW, IN ESSENCE, THEY START SENDING OUT DECOYS. THEY CAN DO ALL KIND OF THINGS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT YOUR NET -- THAT YOU HAVE CAST A NET THAT'S THAT NARROW.

I don't know if I can quite get my head around that... wow. (For more on the murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, see my earlier post and cartoon). I guess that guest missed the whole revelation that Menezes was wearing a light jean jacket and didn't jump a turnstile... he also appears to have misplaced his own brain... wow.

Update: My grandmother (who, like me, listens/wathes conservative media to hear what the crazies are saying) tells me she heard the same ridiculous suggestion on the Michael Savage radio show. These people have no shame...
