CNN Journalists Attacked By Cairo Mob During Protests – Car Stoned
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, September 12, 2011, 4:36 AM
The Cairo protesters tore down a protective wall and stormed the Israeli Embassy on Friday. The protesters chanted “Allahu Akbar” and beat an Israeli Embassy worker.
CNN journalists feared for their lives and fled the mob as their car was being stoned.
Israel National News reported:
CNN journalists described the Friday mob that attacked them during the riot at the Israeli embassy as “animals.” One other journalist was called a spy and was almost raped.
The worldwide news site reported a scene that brought back ugly memories of the gang rape of CBS reporter Lara Logan earlier this year during the Arab spring uprising against the Mubarak regime.
CNN reported that one person in the mob on Friday called Dina Amer, a woman member of another American crew, “a spy.” A CNN producer who is an Egyptian approached to rescue the woman from the rioters, but “the mob overwhelmed the pair,” the network reported.
“I was thinking, how powerless I was because there was no police to save us,” said the producer, Mohammed Fadel Fahmy. “I was worried that they were going to rape her.”
Someone shouted to Fahmy that there was a nearby car, and he brought the “spy” into the vehicle, which belonged to a television crew.
“When Margaret Warner, a correspondent with the PBS program ‘Newshour’ managed to get the vehicle moving away from the crowd, men threw stones at the departing vehicle,” the journalist said.“They were animals,” said Amer.

That joyous Arab Spring™ they breathlessly reported on.
Within 24 hrs the media involved will invent a spin to blame Israel.
Carbon Pootprint commented:
They deserve to be ruled by dictators

southernsue commented:
the whole middle east is a slum.
we need to get our people out and let them kill each other.
if we stay, then we just need to let our Air Force obliterate them and just be done.
we need to make a decision, either bomb away and be done with these cesspool countries or get out and cut foreign aid.

They forgot the line, “Officials are still trying to determine a motive for the attack”
Reaganite Republican commented:
‘Everybody Must Get Stoned’ lol
John commented:
They were only propagandist (Journalist) so nothing lost. The liberal media continue to tell us that the animals that are the center of the “Arab Spring” are moderates that will bring peace to the region, so how could this happen? Could it be that they really believe their own lies? The animals can take out (quoting Fat Jimmy Hoffa) the whole lot and we should consider it as putting chlorine in the gene pool.

Well, since his ratings here in the U.S. are plummeting, he has to pick up his 2012 votes from somewhere else. (Remember those Gaza phone banks??)

CNN? Who let those liberals escape? All anyone needed was the film footage, not the propaganda pimps.
Larkin commented:
Why is it that we never hear anyone yelling “Yahweh Akbar” at Middle East riots or suicide bombings?
“Buddha Akbar”?

I’m shocked. Shocked!!, to find that in the 21st Century, 7th Century-thinking barbarians behave like, well, 7th Century barbarians.
This is so sad. Egypt as a culture predates Islam by thousands of years. And the Egyptians couldn’t manage to reconcile the two cultures and advance and modernize for the good of their own people. As if getting “rid” of the “Little” and “Big Satans” would solve all their problems.
Sure looks like the idiots are no longer useful.
