Muslim extremists attack an upscale Nairobi mall in Kenya, take hostages, and kill nearly 3 score in total of people, and the left is deafeningly silent.

Sure - deflect by accusing Harrier of politicizing a tragedy.

You have no back up - when you would do the exact same thing, as illustrated by Harrier in paragraph #1, had the circumstances been different, in specific ways.
Arent you one of those claiming the media is all liberal and biased?
The story has been all over the news so i dont see where the liberal media is being silent on the issue.
The story has been discussed in great detail on MSNBC and CNN and all local news broadcasts.
I dont see where any one is trying to paint these terrorists in Kenya as affiliated with liberals or conservatives, What straw man are you trying to create from this tragedy?

There is no evidence any of the people you speak of are or ever were members of the Democratic party.

If you have evidence to back up your claim, please post it.

People die every day is right wing muslim mass killing specifically in the middle East and sub saharan Africa. Saying Liberals are silent on it is like saying we didnt mention that we were still breathing.

I have never understood why even try to politicize things like this, most left wingers(specifically Progressives, not liberals) would tell you that religion is the root of a lot of evil in this nation, and even you have echoed that at times while also attacking Left wingers for saying it ( you are all over the place).

Where has that odd association liberal-Muslim come from, that is so frequent on this forum? I never got that. Real liberals are pretty much against Islam...

I disagree. Islam contradicts what many liberals believe in, like the equal treatment of women, freedom in general.

Everybody has been fairly silent. After catching wind of it on the net, I finally found the news on CNN. FOX had some breaking news reports, nothing to write home about. Drudge had zero, does he not work weekends. Anywho, it reminded me of why I hate television news. Guess everybody was watching the emmys or whichever stupid loser awards show that was. Or, perhaps we are getting all to use to it. The British news covered it really well. Sad weekend.

Did it happen here in the USA? Pretty sure this kind of thing happens a lot over there. What makes this one so special?

I think we'd be better off fixing our own broken country than issuing false outrage at other countries and their tragedies.
Don't you?

While I understand what you're saying, and agree, there are other religions that also demean women and minorities and whoever disagrees with them.
It's all religion, not just muslim.
