Debbie Schlussel

 
UPDATE: PZ Myers tells us that CNN will rebroadcast the segment tonight at 8PM EST with a new panel, including Richard Dawkins (CNN must have felt the heat).

Do you remember Debbie Schlussel? She was the atheist-hating Jewish idiot who appeared on the Paul Zahn show last week (see Paula Zhan Should be Fired from CNN). Readers might recall that I was wondering whether Schlussel might have a slight bias against Muslims as well as atheists.

Well, it turns out Debbie Schlussel has been receiving emails about her remarks on CNN (Duh!). She has a blog where she has just confirmed our worst fears.

Here's part of what she says at "When Atheists a/k/a Future Muslims Attack."

I don't mind receiving the atheist hate mail, since I know that in a few years, many of these same people will either be Muslim extremists (redundant) or helping the country fall further in its fight against the creep of Islamic imposition on America . . . or both.

Look at famous atheists and what happened to them. Adam Gadahn a/k/a Azzam Al-Amriki--now a top Al-Qaeda video "personality"--was raised by his hippie Jewish father and equally bizarre gentile mother as an atheist. And look how he turned out. Ditto for hippie-spawn John Walker Lindh.

Those two people are enemies of America, and many of those who think like them are of equally weak mind. If you don't believe in anything, you'll easily fall for virtual nothings. That's why Europe is so quickly turning Islamist--because atheism dominates and Christianity is rapidly dying there. Over there, the number one cause for which atheists are suddenly finding "god" is Islam.

No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. She actually said that on her blog. Go check it out if you don't believe me. She's a genuine loony nutcase.

All the more reason why Paula Zhan should stop pretending to be a journalist.

On her blog Schussel attacks those critics who claim they just saw the Paula Zhan show.

It's hard to believe their letters because they were all attacking me for my appearance on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now," a week ago, but coincidentally each letter claims the sender just watched me on CNN. First of all, the video of that segment appears nowhere on the net. Believe me, if it did, I'd link to it.

I linked to the videos on the net and so have dozens of other bloggers who are astonished at the stupidity of CNN. It looks like Schlussel is incompetent at many different things in addition to thinking logically. Her list of failings includes searching the internet.

Read the posting on Dr. Joan Bushwell's Chimpanzee Refuge [Debbie Schlussel: A case study in 15 minutes too many] for a calmer attack on Debbie Schussel. Schlussel is a journalist who's greatest achievement to date was winning the title of "Outstanding Teen Age Republican in the Nation" in 1987 (Wikipedia). Why is it that so many kooks seem to be Republicans?
