Michael Gallagher
From ThinkProgress

Speaking on Fox News on Tuesday, conservative radio host Mike Gallagher proposed installing a Muslims-only line at U.S. airports. (Watch it) Even scarier, the studio audience broke into applause.
This is happening in real-life America, folks.


ThinkProgress:

Yesterday on Fox News? Dayside, panelists Michael Gross, a constitutional law attorney, and conservative radio host Mike Gallagher debated whether profiling is the answer to fighting terror. As Newshounds first noted, Gallagher argued, ?It?s time to have a Muslims check point line in American airports and have Muslims be scrutinized. You better believe it.? Gallagher?s suggestion was met with tepid applause from the audience. Watch it.

The right way to treat Fox News would have been best understood by the Weather Underground.  The same is true for the rest of the right wing press.

It’s downright pathetic to see an ethnic irish racist. Profiling is wrong no matter how you see it.

This mouthfoaming talk show host ought to do some research on Irish vs English and Scottish in UK, in particular the racism and hate that inflicted upon the irish populace.
