Obama’s NASA Chief: Muslim Outreach is My Foremost Mission, Rush Limbaugh
“RUSH: That’s right. That’s precisely why it’s wrong. Obama is the new chief executive and all of America’s wrong. The original mission statement of America is wrong. That’s the Constitution, and that’s under assault, too. Not just the initial mission statement of NASA. If he’s going to run around and say that NASA’s purpose now is to spread science and math understanding to Muslim countries and to recognize their contributions to math and science, then you can imagine what this bunch thinks of the Constitution.”
NASA’s new mission — make Muslim countries ‘feel good’, Glenn Beck
“GLENN: But imagine how condescending that is to say that NASA’s going to go over and say, look who’s been smart in the past, look what you’ve done. Who can take an abacus and turn it upside down? You can. I mean, that is the most condescending thing I’ve ever heard. Make them feel good about their history. And isn’t that so very progressive. Make them feel good. That’s the charge of NASA? That’s what we’re doing with NASA money?”
Does the ‘S’ In NASA Suddenly Stand for ‘Stupid’?, Opinion, Fox News
“So don’t fault Bolden, fault his commander in chief. Every time conservatives underscore the idea that Obama is not a Muslim, he does everything within his power to cozy up to the very powers that hate our guts and dominate the Muslim world.”
