“I’m not sure spying is an invasion of privacy…”
~Fox News co-host Eric Bolling 

Ok – so we can spy on Americans as long as they’re Muslim but if the government wants to make sure that women have access to contraception for free … it’s a war on religion.  Got it.  If that’s the case – I suggest that we start putting undercover police officers in EVERY Catholic Church to investigate clergy having sex with young boys.  We should definitely put undercover police in every Mormon church to protect young women from forced polygamy … because you just never know.  </sarcasm>

Do you think this is why Fox News viewers are the worst informed?  (source)

“How is it every terrorist on American soil has been a Muslim?”
~Fox News co-host Eric Bolling 

The Raw Story points out HERE:

In the last 15 years alone, there have a number of high-profile of domestic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that did not involve Muslims.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation suspected Dr. Bruce Ivins of being behind the 2001 anthrax attacks. Jim David Adkisson was accused of killing two people and wounding seven others at a Tennessee church in 2008 because he wanted to kill liberals and Democrats. Anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder was convicted of the 2009 murder of Dr. George Tiller. White supremacist James W. von Brunn killed a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2010. And Andrew Joseph Stack flew a plane into a Texas office building in 2010, possibly targeting the Internal Revenue Service.

If you don’t understand just how invasive this was … the NYPD trained with the CIA and started creating files on Americans based on their religion and ethnicity.  We wrote about that HERE:

For example, in 2007, plainclothes officers with the Demographics Unit were assigned to generate intelligence on NYC’s Syrian population. They went around taking photos of establishments owned by second and third generation Syrian Americans and documenting who worked there, but their report excluded Jews with Syrian backgrounds. In fact, the NYPD files openly declare: “This report will focus on the smaller Muslim community.” Officers did not find any evidence of terror plots, but the information gathered about innocent New Yorkers was kept on file.
