Brian Kilmeade Apologizes For Muslim Comments: 'I Misspoke' (VIDEO)

After causing a storm of controversy last week, "Fox and Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade apologized for saying "all terrorists are Muslims."

Kilmeade's comment on Friday came during a discussion of Bill O'Reilly's appearance on "The View" last week, when O'Reilly's statement that "Muslims killed us on 9/11" caused Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set.

Speaking about the incident, Kilmeade said the debate "is almost like our debate on training wheels...they were outraged that somebody was saying...there was a certain group of people that attacked us on 9/11. It wasn't just one person, it was one religion. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims."

On Monday's "Fox and Friends," Kilmeade apologized, saying, "I misspoke. I don't believe all terrorists are Muslims. I'm sorry about that, if I offended or hurt anybody's feelings. But that's it."

Watch (via J$P):

Kilmeade also spoke about the controversy on his radio show Monday, saying that he had meant to say that all the terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks were Muslims.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Sorry, I'm not buying your BS. You can't unring the bell, Brian. Your "misspoken" words have exposed you for a yellow journalist that you are.

In other words, if you work for CNN and misspeak about Jews you're fired, but if you work for FNC and misspeak about Muslims you just get a slap on the wrist.

I can't wait until one of the FNC buffoons misspeaks about Jews and one of the CNN buffoons misspeaks about Muslims to have a clearer view of the politically correct landscape.

MSNBC you ask? Who cares.

Keep saying it enough and more people will start believeing it. Before you know it the old ladies at bingo will be saying all terrorists are Muslim therefore all Muslims are terrorists. It is not accidental, but more fear mongering.

The KKK thinks of itself as being Christian. So, if someone wanted to demonize Christians, as they do Muslims, then one can say repeatedly, Christians lynched/killed a lot of U.S over many years.
Here is how the KKK sees themselves:

The Ku Klux Klan, LLC. has been around a good long while, it was legally incorporated as a Limited Liability Corporation in the State of Arkansas in 2003. This historic accomplishment was made possible by deciding to stop following the lead of so many others who were accomplishing little if anything for White Christian America.

And then one can continue the demonization, by saying Christian moderates have Not done enough to put a halt to these Christians killing Americans. So, what is the difference in what O'Reilly and Fox are saying about Muslims? I don't see any.

Randy Pausch said a true apology has three parts.

1.) Say I'm sorry with meaning and conviction.
2.) Say it'll never happen again and make sure it never happens again.

This is the part most people forget.

3.) Say "What can I do to make this better." THEN DO IT!

Kilmeade meant what he said on his radio show. He's stupid. He's a liar and now he can add 'coward' to his personal characteristics.
