Atlas Shrugs dubs Obama "President Jihad"

April 02, 2010 7:04 am ET by Media Matters staff

From an April 1 Atlas Shrugs blog post, titled, "President Jihad: Obama Encouraged Violent Palestinian Muslim protests against Israel":

This is one bad, ugly man. That's a fact. America has no clue what she is dealing with. The President of the United States is advancing jihad against the oath of office that he took. If he is agitating Muslims against Jews, will he declare war on Israel?

[...]

If this is true, could Obama possibly sink any lower? Well, he could declare war against Israel. "Shock claim: Obama encouraged Palestinian 'resistance': Violence targeting Jews aimed at pressuring Israel into splitting capital," by Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily, March 31.

      I like how the editing works.

      American diplomats supported and encouraged the concept of Palestinian protests
      in the article becomes:
      PA official claims that Obama administration encouraged violent Palestinian protests
      becomes:
      Obama Encouraged Violent Palestinian Muslim protests in the blog post.

      All of this based on what someone "said", with no direct attribution.
