Apparently a lot of posters don't know this about Chris Stevens
Posted: May 12, 2013
Just catching up on the board and noticed the myth of Ambassador Chris Stevens being "dragged through the streets" repeated several times. I replied to one such instance below, but I'd like to bring it to the top for any who might not scan the board fully since I think it's really important in terms of anti-Muslim sentiment to try to dispel such a horrible assumption.

Photos of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens Dragged Through the Streets- Fiction! |
|
Summary of the eRumor: |
|
The Truth:
According to a September 18, 2012 article by the Associated Press, "Libyans tried to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens, cheering 'God is great' and rushing him to a hospital after they discovered him still clinging to life inside the U.S. Consulate, according to witnesses and a new video that emerged Monday from last week’s attack in the city of Benghazi." Eleven years after the terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in New York, there was an attack on the U.S. Consulate Outpost in Benghazi, Libya where U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens along with three members of his U.S. embassy staff were killed. Shortly after that violence erupted around the world at the sites of various U.S. Embassies. |

As a former Muslim, I can assure you that shouts of "Allahu Akbar" are usually made under positive, hopeful circumstances, like the initial discovery of Chris Stevens being alive at the time.

thanks for posting - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Many viewers were told what to think about these images, causing so many to mistake interpretation for fact. I appreciate another perspective.
Yes, thank you for posting this. I fell for the original vague post - sm
[ In Reply To ..]a few days ago claiming that there were pics of Chris Stevens being "dragged through the streets." No link provided, of course. I usually try to find the source, but I'm just tired of having to do so. I don't care for having to dive head-first into the RW world of "news," usually feel less intelligent after doing so, and unfortunately Summer's Eve has yet to make a product for one's eyes and brain to wash away the duh.
I remember this video being discussed in the news a while ago. Maybe because it wasn't being described as someone being dragged through the streets or I didn't remember it being described that way that I didn't put the 2 together, so I wasn't sure if newer pics surfaced that the OP was talking about.
ALWAYS (please report this post for using caps) check info even for the ridiculous vague posts before reacting/responding. Chances are it's based on pure guano and nothing to get riled up about in the first place. It's sad that people would try to use something like this to paint people who were trying to help as evil.

[ In Reply To ..]loved this phrase: "unfortunately Summer's Eve has yet to make a product for one's eyes and brain to wash away the duh."
I'll go along with the legitimacy of this site until I - see one lie posted. Then I'll report. :)

"since I think it's really important in terms of anti-Muslim sentiment to try to dispel su - And I think it is really important
[ In Reply To ..]to know your enemy, which is the radical Muslims. There is a huge disconnect on this board by many that see no problems with endless radical Muslim hatred and terrorism. We all know the ones --- they keep saying "who cares, who cares" every time MUSLIMS murder the innocent. There are TWO SIDES to that coin. Sick to death of the PC garbage because someone is so worried about "anti-Muslim" sentiment while they shed American blood without a second thought, as if their radical Muslim ideology is our fault. Try using that same misdirected concern to console the families that radical Muslims murder innocently, while the SOS Hillary and Muslim leaded Obama make apologies for getting in the way of the Muslims machetes.
Was Timothy McVeigh a Muslim? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]There definitely are TWO SIDES.
There are radical wings of every religion, every race, every nationality, but some people seem to want to single out certain races, religions, and nationalities as the only ones capable of evil.
Sorry, but I think pretty much anyone with ******** (sm) - LM
[ In Reply To ..]knows that it is the radical Muslim extremists who are the terrorists, not just Muslims period. I think people probably just get tired of spelling it out for everyone every time they say something. To heck with PC.
I don't agree. I see all Muslims as being targeted - as terrorits by the right
[ In Reply To ..]I see it here, I see it in the media.
It can be denied by whomever, but Muslim equals terrorist.
Clearly ************ - you must be on the left - based on your post
[ In Reply To ..]I, as many others on this board, clearly know the difference between radical Islams/Muslims. If someone has a problems with that distinction that is their problem and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RIGHT, but verything to do with their own internal prejudices and the inability to understand and comprehend what is going on. That dog don't hunt as the saying goes.
You wanna know about persecution? Try reading what Christians go through every religious holiday by the LIBERAL LEFT - yep....the same LIBERAL LEFT demanding we treat radical Muslims with tolerance, yet show absolutely none for Christians. Peddle it elsewhere....we, that are informed, aint buying the bogus "oh poor Muslims" routine. IT HAS BEEN STATED CLEARLY REFERENCES ARE ABOUT RADICAL MUSLIMS/ISLAMISTS.
Clearly YOU are insulting me personally. Therefore, the rest of - your post is useless.
[ In Reply To ..]Moderator just addressed this. Guess the right wing thinks they don't have to follow the rules. Typical. But even deeper, shows a lack of respect for their human counterparts.
I was respectful, addressing the issue. YOU personally insulted me. Congrats.
I couldn't agree more. The moderator deleted - sm
[ In Reply To ..]what was more than likely the word "your" or "liberal," but she left the entire remaining insult on the board, as usual.
According to the moderator, verbatim: "If your post contains an insult it is going to be deleted."
I guess that's only for Democrats.
agree - ; )
[ In Reply To ..]at least we know fluck isn't profane anymore. I guess that's....something.
LOL! - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
The poster whose words were deleted insulted me - twice in a row
[ In Reply To ..]immediately after the moderator addressed the issue. If you want to see how the poster insulted me, I posted under the moderator's message.
Fixed it - Moderator
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry, should have deleted the other part. It's been fixed.
Moderator
I don't agree that Christians are persecuted by the left - jmo
[ In Reply To ..]most people I know are liberal and Christian.
in that case, you recognize that all Muslims are not our enemies - sm.2
[ In Reply To ..]I'm glad to hear it. By extension, does that mean you recognize the OP's points?
I guess silence says it all - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
What does this have to do with the issue being discussed - Moderator
[ In Reply To ..]Nobody should be keeping track of how long it takes posters to respond to a message.
what ?? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I was not keeping track of how long it takes to respond.(!) For goodness sake, what a far-flung allegation. I was simply noting that my question remained unanswered. Posters do that all the time.
Example:
http://general.mtstars.com/346705.html
And here's another one... - SM
[ In Reply To ..]I don't think it's unreasonable to make a statement like yours after well over 12 hours. This, however, was after just about 3 hours, and in regards to a midnight-hour posting on a weekend at that, lol.
I remember that one, too - ...
[ In Reply To ..]it's just hard for me to understand why the moderator a) questioned the relevance of my post, and b) accused me of "keeping track" when all I was doing was reinforcing the point of my own post - that Muslims are not our enemies. It's just kind of weird.
Did it ever even cross your mind - PC?
[ In Reply To ..]that some of us are NOT trying to be PC, but have Muslims in our lives who we know and love? And perhaps that is the reason why we're not so quick to jump on the hate wagon? PC, my patootie. I'm talking about real people, not political agendas.

It's not confirmed but this is what they're saying. The US is only "nervous" about this? Isn't this a reason for war?

Stevens Emails Show 'total Disconnect' Between Security Needs In Benghazi, WashingtonOct 19, 2015
The truth is finally coming out. Blocking of Hillary's emails, and thehandling of Ambassador Stevens' request for more security by ignoring his requests is more than despicable. Who is responsible? Hillary, of course. She was the head of the State Dept. She was totally incompetent as SOS and will be worse than totally incompetent as the president. I hope people will wake up soon and realize she only wants the job because she can siphon off more dollars for her benefit, just like ...

Anyone see Chris last night? He had a dem and a repub (head of Virginia republic party) on discussing the performance of Obama this past year. The dem was very reasonable.

At the end of the segment he said people were curious as to why he had so many repubs on his show when others on MSNBC did not. ...
