Last night I spoke at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and with all the traveling yesterday in the Jihad Watch company car (pictured below) I didn't have a chance to put up this week's Jihad Watch videoblog at Hot Air. It discusses a theme I discuss at greater length in this FrontPage piece, "Why’s a Nice Guy Like You Doing a Terrorist Act Like This?"
Our company car, a state-of-the-art Maxwell Roadster
Is that a Model T FORD?
On which side do you think Ford, the man who published antisemitic screeds in his paper, would have been on?
Scribe10:
Sir, I would never own a Ford.
The Jihad Watch company car, pictured above, is a Maxwell Roadster.

Mr. Spencer:
Does Mr. Fiztgerald always have to ride in the rumble seat, or do you take turns like good fellows?
Chatillon:
Mr. Fitzgerald prefers to ride on the driver's-side running board, clutching his fedora with one hand and yelling into my ear while I'm trying to drive.

What sort of gas mileage does your Roadster get?
Does it have seat belts?
Robert,
Excellent article on Front Page. So many in the US are in total denial and wish to remain so. We want to believe they are nice people just as we want to believe islam is a religion of peace. In part this seems to be our nature as humans and we are also influenced by what we have been taught. (I began my re-education several years ago by linking through this site to the ProfitOfDoom and have read much since then.) In fact, most of the muslims I have encountered are nice people. Most of them also do not understand their own theology. It does take some research. Keep spreading the word.
Let me also guess you wear goggles, driving scarf and leather driving gloves.
Let me also assume you have JW logos on everything.
TINBH:
1. 6 or 7 MPG. It's a great car.
2. Of course not.
greatcometof1577:
1. Quite so.
2. Of course.

Mr. Spencer you are obviously a 007 agent as you have now become the most dangerous man in the world, because not only are you on the Muslims most wanted list.........
but now you have incurred the wrath of the inventor of the internet in the all knowing Al Gore who states that old geezer cars are more dangerous than terrorism, nuclear bombs and meteors crashing into earth.
It is a dangerous life having Allah Gore naming you on the most dangerous list as he waves at you from his limo.
Robert
That car is even more of a gas guzzler than anything out there today. Either you have to enrich the OIC hand over fist, or you'd have to have the engine retrofitted to take bio-fuels.
Now, the latter would be an unheard of innovation - for this type of car. While you're at it, fit it with cruise control, and then, you can easily handle Mr Fitzgerald yelling into your ear.
When was the last smog check on this car?
Ooops, I meant OPEC, not OIC. Easy to get the two mixed, although the former is just a subset of the latter (our good buddies Venezuela and Russia aside)
Did I say anything about gas?
It doesn't run on gas, it runs on plutonium.

It is interesting to note, that when you see films of the Muslims marching, they are doing the Nazi goosestep, and when they salute , it is the Nazi style salute....
...I am not certain, but is not the man marching past the Nazi ranks , the Grand Mufti of Jeruselam?.....
....It appears to me that the Muslims and the Nazis have much in common....
Exsgtbrown:
Yes, that is the Mufti, Haj Amin Al-Husseini.

There have been various articles on the web about how to engage a mohammedan in debate and/or how to reply to appologists' arguements about islam. Can someone help me find them? Thank you. the poetess
Yes, I do enjoy Robert Spencer's sense of humor. I'd like to see his Groucho Marx impression some day.
...one of the most disturbing photos in this collection is the one on the lower left....This are the young Muslims (about 10-16 years of age, maybe younger), marching and carrying real assault rifles...I have seen films of them and others like them....they have been trained in military tactics, trained to kill, and (worst of all)trained to expect to be killed....but not to worry, it is your duty and and honor to die for Islam....
...Young Americans in this age group are just playing baseball, going fishing, or playing with their playstation...
...Young Americans are in for a rude awakening...
Superb piece by Robert Spencer in Frontpagemagazine.com. The piece makes a point far better than I've ever seen it made before -- if the point has really even ever been made before. Often comparisons between Nazism and Islam, whatever degree of accuracy they might or might not contain, have a hyperbolic or hysterical feel, because the Nazi analogy is so overused by every person with a pet enemy to slander. It's used against almost every group under the sun, not just against Islam. But Spencer's comparison at frontpagemagazine.com is very specific, subtle, and brilliant.
Gives new (or old) meaning to Van Halen's "I Can't Drive 55."
Before we get too carried away with corporate largess, who won the tee shirt contest from February 3rd? I think Jihadwatch owes someone a sticker.
Pez,
It has actually already been partially handled. I still have to send the autographed book, but much of my life is on hold until I finish the new one, which should be in less than 2 weeks.
Cordially
Robert Spencer
Pez:
If that was the contest looking for the page with accidentally omitted quotation marks in Robert Spencer's The Truth about Muhammad, I won it. But I believe I was already sent the prize.
Looking forward to the new book.
Still lobbying for 'Its the Qu'ran, Stupid.'
...how about a new book...
"The Muslim Crusades....deja vu....."
LOL...ummm, Lame Cherry...^5s, but...
You forgot to include his greatest enemy of all:
us "right wing extremists" (repeat ad nauseum).
Isn't it funny how his ilk have become the very same thing that they so claimed to hate?
Oh well...back to my gas-guzzling SUV, cleaning my assault weapons, and poisoning the atmosphere with windbroken-induced methane...lol.
What buffoonery...
Traeh,
You mean, I already sent you the book?
Man, I am getting absent-minded.

Of course it does not run on gas. Come on people...Think! No Saudi oil refined into gas for the JW mobile. Only the future energy source of this nation will do....Nuclear!
You do realize that some foolish jihadi want to be will now attack some happless Maxwell Roadster car antique collector going for Sunday drive thinking that is Robert Spencer at the wheel.
Don't laugh....it could happen! After all they think mellons have HIV and that you are a Jewish memeber of Opus dei.
The Maxwell Roadster fatwa is around the bend.
Traeh
You deserve your award (which was it - 'Outlaw Shariah' or 'Liberty has ruthless enemies'?), but somehow, methinks that Heavy Stix could offer more variety. There were tons of good suggestions in that February 3rd thread.

May I suggest "Islam for Dummies," to be followed by "Islam for Dhimmis"?
Robert-
So that was you in the fast lane on the Interstate that backed up traffic to the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Humble suggestion: immediately consider upgrading JW/DW current “company car”. The basic Roadster can be kept – but some upgrade and modification are in order. Start by replacing current engine with supercharged full-HEMI(dhimmi) engine – with centrifugal blower/intake compressor – giving the company car that extra go power – in cases when evasion and escape of would be enemy is required. Additionally – corresponding piston (large bore), valves (all race grade, blueprinted, trimmed, and balanced), exhausts systems (open headers –balanced with limited back pressure), 6-speed high performance transmission (steering wheel mounted electronic Formula 1 style shifter -optional), street-legal gear ratios, reinforced suspension and chassis rework, bulletproof glass and soft top, side and undercarriage amour, etc. must also be considered. Oh – and sat-link for anytime/anywhere internet connections with corresponding additional computer controlled electronic monitoring dashboard mounted system as well (for GPS, engine systems observation, latest news reports, etc.). Gas mileage will not significantly change (slight drop to 4- 6 mph highway, 2-5 mph city –unless traveling at varied rates of escape velocities and accelerations). Otherwise – the JW/DW staffers will be driving around – exposed to all manner of danger –in Roadster’s current configuration – or in Mr. Fitzgerald’s terminology – as a “semihemidhimmimesmerized” type vehicle. Good JW/DW’s will not doubt send donations for this cause – if solicited

Well, in the contest I was thinking of, which I now recall was not the February 3 contest, I think the prize was actually supposed to be a t-shirt or something. No doubt you sent it, but the po box expired before I went to collect the prize, so I don't know.
The mild-mannered appearance of the Jihad Watch vehicle is misleading. At night, that Maxwell Roadster morphs into this.

tsk, tsk, tsk, Marisol. That was a solo Sammy Hagar tune, not VH. I thought you were the supreme "metalhead", with your "crazy train" reference to Iran's nuclear program several weeks ago.
For this faux pas, I must knock you down a few pegs.

That accounts for the scientific secrets about the "Maxwell Roadster" that cannot be revealed, at least not yet.
So that's what happened to Jack Benny's Maxwell. Treat it well.
I'm suspicious Robert. That photo looks to be from the thirties or there-abouts. Can you post a more recent photo? One with you driving, and Hugh riding the running board, hanging on for dear life, as you hang corners at seven miles per hour, and achieve the top speed of twenty five mph. I bet Hugh could do that ride without losing his ascot or spilling his wine (only the best of course).
Awake--
Oh, no!
Robert:
Nice wheels!! So nice, in fact, you don't even have to pimp your ride. And, that's a nice house you have in the background. Even has those energy efficient awnings that have become so stylish these days.
A Maxwell in new condition would be worth sevaral hundred thousand dollars today. A picture of an AMC Gremlin would have been funnier.
By the way, Maxwell was purchased by WP Chrysler. So, a Chrysler is really a re-badged Maxwell.
Is "Plutonium" the name of the hamster?
I second duh_swami's request. Besides, it's about time we saw Hugh's Fitzgerald's face.
infidel pride:
Actually I wasn't in the Feb 3 contest -- I got it confused with an earlier one.
Robert since you are driving a gas guzzler, are you not
giving out opec dollars and even sending us further into global warming? l picture Hugh riding a bike to fight global warming, since you both enjoy that old car, why dont you get a decent gas guzzler, like a
Hummer? at least you stand a chance to run down any fierce islamic facists or at least ACLU lawyer.
I drive a gas guzzler SUV, and not a dime goes to opec...out here west coast US all refineries are only set up for light sweet crude (saudi only has heavy sweet) and all incoming crude labelled "overseas" comingin is actually from Alaska.
(it's a technicality term since alaska's not part of the lower 48...strange, but true)
I'm not at all concerned about any swindle (saw the video, and the speakers at top of the line experts, unlike the snake oilers), so that's irrelevant.
Wow, come to think of it, a Hummer sounds pretty sweet right about now, especially with the "special package" they seel in the downstairs section...well worth the price for running down islamofascists, and their allies...but I'd prefer an original H1, not those wussyfied cutdown sized wannabes. lol
Now I feel better...back to commentary...lol
I'm not gutsy enought to drive a big massive SUV, partly because some moonbats could vandalize it whenever I go out, but I do drive a Honda Civic hybrid. One, because the less money I give to oil companies who kiss the ass of the House of Saud, the better. And two, my family has always bought Hondas. And three, it's so much cooler than that gay little Prius (screw Toyota!).
Wow Mr. Spencer, you're totally into the retro stuff. Bob Dylan and now old antique cars. Well at least you have other interests than jihad watching. I'm sure life in Secure Undisclosed Locationville can sap the life out of you if you didn't have other interests.
I cannot believe no one has commented on Robert's statement:
Sir, I would never own a Ford.
Hello, Ford was a Jew hater!!
It was the sheer boringness of the executives of the Nazi genocide that led Hannah Arendt to coin the phrase 'the banality of evil.' She had Eichmann in mind but the memoirs of the Auschwitz commandant, Rudolf Hoess, which a Polish criminologist persuaded him to write, prior to his execution, showed a similarly pedestrian and conventional outlook.
"I would never own a Ford!"- does that include a Jag..?
Just curious...
com972, hey l love my extra extended full size Dodge Ram van, and my Dodge Mini Van.. would never drive a hybrid. Here in Dodge country, we say FORD, found on road dead, much like when you run over islamist. lol
FORD= fix or repair daily...
Nice car Robert
Is that your home in the background ?
It's in the next street from my house.
Might drop in and have a cup of tea sometime.
Look -- the devil can smile.
Not me...
if I ran over an islamist, I'd most likely say:
"Holy Shi'ite!!!! Did I just hear a thump???!!!"
Actually it would be more like a splat, but that's another story: blunt trauma when the shi'ite hits the fan.
;-)

lightinshadows,
That is because everyone here who knows anything about Robert understood, immediately after reading that comment, where he stands on that issue.
Welcome, and please do stick around awhile, will you?
