#4 The article links to another piece written by Andrw McCarthy, one of Abdel Rahman's prosecutors. He makes one of the most resounding yet persistently ignored points by those who indulge in self-hate and domestic anti-Americanism. To wit:
Don't get me wrong. I do despise what Lynne represents. To hear the media's "civil rights lawyer" tag monotonously attached to her name is Orwellian to the point of inducing dysentery. In America, we have an ingenious constitutional framework that promotes unprecedented economic and social freedom, not to mention nigh-uninhibited human creativity. It is rightfully the envy of the world. It is the fortress that safeguards all civil rights worthy of the name. And ... it is the system that Lynne Stewart, in her hallucinogenic adulation of bloody revolution for the sake of nothing more than revolution (and its attendant idol worship of monsters like Mao and Stalin and Castro and, of course, Abdel Rahman), would supplant. Thus, it's been impossible to read the fawning pro-Stewart coverage in the New York Times for the past two years and not wonder whether either the newspaper or Lynne understands that if the causes they promote ever actually achieved their ends, the very first thing the new regimes would do is shut down useful idiots like the New York Times and Lynne Stewart.
I have had to belabor the threat of sharia law to gay people who refuse to recognize that they would amongst Islam's first victims. I continue to laugh at inbred semi-literate American neo-Nazi skinheads whom the SS would have put on the train ahead of the Jews. It is nothing if not astounding how so many of these "radicals" cannot possibly imagine that the world of their dreams might just include a swift and painful dispatch at the hands of those they profess to adore.
As Lynne Stewart and the judge who sentenced her have so amply proven, the time for tolerating these "useful" idiots is rapidly drawing to a close. That Stewart's service to the poor and downtrodden should be used as an excuse for leniency in her sentencing implicitly connotes that those same poverty stricken individuals should rightly be engaged in the overthrow of our government, just as Stewart was.
Lynne Stewart betrayed every single American citizen, right down to its poorest and most destitute. To even suggest that her treasonous actions were of any service to them is both an insult and tantamount to sedition in and of itself.
