CNN: We Support Mehdi Hassan Calling Every Right-Leaning Person a "Nazi" but When a Guest Responds In Kind By Saying "I Hope Your Beeper Doesn't Go Off," That's Worth a Lifetime Ban

He also does the crybully thing of claiming that Ryan Girdusky said that he should die.

He didn't.

He said "I hope your beeper doesn't go off."

It's a well-taken, well-sourced joke about Mehdi Hassan being a straight-up terrorist propagandist.

You can say that all Republicans are Nazis, but when you call an actual agent of foreign terror-supporting regimes a terror-supporter, well, CNN can't allow that.

It is fine to call anyone on the political right a Nazi.

It is not okay to call an antisemitic Qatar agent who runs PR for terrorists a terrorist.

Even this liberalish libertarian gets it:

Last time I was on TV with Ryan Girdusky, he said I don't care about victims of migrant crime and I told him to go fuck himself. It was spicy!

That said, I have a hard time understanding why Mehdi Hasan--a bad faith debater if ever there was one--gets to insinuate that everyone he disagrees with is a Nazi, but a (tasteless, to be clear) joke about him supporting terrorism is beyond the pale.

He's not a liberal, I should say. But I think he's definitely liberalish. He tends to worry about the checklist of Luxury Worries of liberals, even though he chides them for being silly.

Mehdi Hassan is probably not an actual terrorist in the sense of having participated in a terrorist attack. But he is funded by a terrorist regime and he has devoted his entire career to promoting terrorism and hatred and the fact that CNN has him on the air is the real scandal.

CNN is now defaming Girdusky as a "bigot" and "racist," while pleading with the terrorist-supporting, terror-regime-funded Mehdi Hassan to please come back to their network to propagandize for Hamas some more.

And of course: Please come on CNN to defame anyone who disagrees with you, the guy who wants to murder all Jews in Israel and drive them into the sea, a "Nazi."
