Egyptian Fantasies (5-4-12)
Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute...
The liberal media, and that includes most media, has revealed its hypocrisy and immaturity on the fantasy of an Egyptian spring. Instead, extremists now control 72 percent of parliament. The left told us the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists were not popular in Egypt. The New York Times called them the “Bumbling Brotherhood” and, amazingly, argued that poor people who took their help would not vote for them. Though that’s precisely the model the Democrat Brotherhood successfully uses here. The Huffington Post touted the UN Secretary General’s naïve belief that, “The power of the Muslim Brotherhood has been exaggerated. It’s been a European obsession more than an Arab reality.” Wrong – by a long shot. The brotherhood won 47 percent of Egypt’s parliament and other hardliners won 25 percent. You can count on the left to continue marketing hope and change fantasies over unpleasant realities.
