Candy Crowley Apologizes For Saying Boston Bomber Posted 'Islamic' Videos

As NewsBusters has been reporting, many in the media have done their darnedest to avoid connecting the Boston Marathon bombers to radical Islam.
On CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley actually apologized for doing so (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ZitatCANDY CROWLEY: Let me just, let me put it a different way, and that is that first of all we know that both the CIA and the FBI were told by Russia, their counterparts, “You got to look at this guy, we think he's been radicalized. We think he’s a terrorist.” Then we have the fact that up came these, at some point after a trip to Russia and before it, up came Islamic videos, or, I’m sorry, terrorist videos on his website. And people think, well, wait, we had his name. At least one department, Homeland Security I believe, knew he'd either come or gone to Russia. And he's putting up, you know, in praise of terrorism. Why in the world didn't anybody think, oh, wait, this is a danger sign?
What’s really funny is that on Saturday at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, President Obama joked about CNN covering “all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate.”
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. -Winston Churchill
The longer this charade goes on the less tolerant the American public will be with it. Candy [obviously she loves the stuff] Crowley tipped her hand, mistakingly letting us in on their dirty little secret. The re-classification of Islamic terrorist videos to just terrorist videos only obfuscates their source. Why do they want so badly to disguise the source and protect Islamists? They prostrate themselves in so doing.
Hopefully the American public will only tolerate this synthetic 'group think' for so long and then there will be a visceral reaction to its absurdity.
"The Republican Party doesn't demonize prosperity. We celebrate success in our party," he said. "And let me be clear, if Republican leaders want to join this president in demonizing success and disparaging conservative values, then they're not going to be fit to be our nominee."
