Basically THAT^^^


Ohky, you seem to be bent on missing the points that people are making. Forget who wears what and why for a minute.

Let's start with the primary question:

Why is it newsworthy that a Canadian news reporter wears a hijab?

and

The left is making such a humongous deal about this when it represents a religion that, for all intents and purposes, is counter to the entire liberal premise.


Would it be newsworthy if a Christian reporter wore a cross, or a Jewish reporter a Yamaka? I think the only thing we'd be hearing is how religion has no place in broadcasting... yet... a Hijab is praised?

Well, actually...

Harnarayan Singh makes English debut in NHL broadcast from Calgary - Calgary - CBC News (Note the turban)

Already the first person to call the play-by-play of NHL games in Punjabi, the 31-yeoar-old will become the first Sikh to broadcast in English when he joins the crew covering the Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs game at the Saddledome.

I thought this was an Onion article that a news anchor said women should don head scarfs in solidarity with Muslims. Good lord Proggies are nuts. That 'ill be the day the American women done burkas or head scarves in solidarity with Muslims. No way in hell.

They bask in their nutty hypocritical ugliness as they polish their turds and call them diamonds.

Is it that anything other than and counter to Christianity and Judaism makes for news? Is that it?

Oh for Chrisske!

Stop with this holier than though bullcrap! You've got more muslims in one city than Canada has in it's entirety. Any of you people taken a drive through Dearborn Mi. lately?

VIDEO: ‘Hillary’s America’ is already here

You've got over 3000 mosques in the U.S. with one of the largest situated in that bastion of whitebread redneck civility; TEXAS.

Stop the bullcrap of vilifying Canada when you're embracing them in exactly the same ways only MORESO.

Peruse the stats of refugee and immigration along with assimilation and then maybe you'll regain some rational sense of perspective regarding this little tempest in your retarded teapot.

I hope you feel better now.

Thanks for saying "you" as if anyone asking why this is news somehow are to blame personally for the influx of refugees. Again, we are not vilifying Canada, we are asking why this is newsworthy... and why it's "great news" from the left.

Trump won because people are sick of an open border and unvetted refugees. If you're going to blame a group of people for our situation look in the mirror because it was Obama and the left who caused and are still causing these problems, relentlessly. Half the country just voted against the progressive dishonesty and crony politics because they never embraced their idiotic meanderings.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/wo...ates.html?_r=0

Obama is quietly attempting to take in refugees that Australia is refusing. The Aussies are at least vetting their refugees, while Obama and the left remain ignorant to why they just got trounced.

"It wasn't the message, it was the delivery"

BS! Keep playing identity politics and trying to build up a voting base of illegal aliens and outliers and the left will become completely irrelevant in future elections.

Nothing like following stupid arrogance with ignorance.


BTW, what is a Chrisske? Did you mean Christs Sake?
