Today I appeared on Fox’s Varney & Co. to discuss the Leftist initiative to close off all means of communication to those who dissent from the hard-Left agenda, and PayPal’s brief blocking of the Jihad Watch account (it was reinstated after an outcry).
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
First an appearance on Tucker Carlson, now on Stuart Varney. This is good, because to succeed in his mission Spencer must occupy the public’s mind. Mindshare much like market share. The facts must out.
But I winced when Varney said JW tracks “radical Islam.” Ouch. Radical compared to what, Stuart?
mgoldberg says
Yes… it is limiting the facts, to use radical Islam. Still he didn’t try to use, as O’Reilly did yesterday on his show, the excuse, ‘well isn’t this information going to upset normal muslims’ or something to that effect. With all due respect, who cares if the non jihadists get upset because Mohammed had multiple enemies slaughtered and praised his hired assassins, had 600-900 jewish men and boys beheaded if they didn’t decalre him as their prophet. I guess that would be upsetting but that is hardly the point. The point is Varney didn’t in any way try to say the truth might upset the non radical muslims, and the praise of Spencer and his work without any hesitation. I would like to see longer shows with Robert able to have his lectures seen by the viewing public and the challengers to his facts shown to be apologists for the tyranny that Islam commands about being examined.
PRCS says
Dear Imam Varney,
From what sources have you determined that “radical Islam” differs from the Islam of Qur’an and Sunnah?
Sincerely,
Fed up
gravenimage says
I take your point–but in the whole scheme of things Stuart Varney is pretty well spoken. I would not call someone so opposed to Jihad as “Imam Varney”.
PRCS says
The point, my dear, is that there’s no such thing as “radical Islam” and it’s well past time for the public to be told the truth.
Who are Doocey and Varney to define–for a national audience–what Islam is?
What part of jihad does he believe belongs to “radical Islam”?
CelticToTheBone says
Alarmed PF and PRCS. Give Varney break and a salute. He acknowledged Robert as being in the right and righteous and said he would be back (on the Varney show presumably). This is a significant win for us.
PRCS says
My friend, I’m glad that Doocey and Varney both gave Robert some quality air time. But, interested–primarily–in the PayPal/leftist situation; each regurgitated the same stupid “radical Islam” crap with him.
It’ll be 16 years in a few days since 9/11. Those who enlisted or were commissioned on September 12, 2001, made the military their career–and survived this, our longest, costliest, and arguably most mismanaged war–will be eligible to retire in 4 years.
Other that a fear of offending Islam and its followers, there is simply no good reason for anyone with a computer and access to the Internet–like Doocey and Varney–to perpetuate that nonsense unless they are morons or are restricted from just telling the unvarnished truth by their bosses.

Westman says
The attack on Jihad Watch seems to have simply given it more exposure and readership while exposing the real enemies. The SPLC, ProPublica, and PayPal haven’t learned that, in America, a Goliath-David attack does not improve the image of Goliath or its bottom line.
And why PayPal would want to follow the advice of lefty journalists, the only group with lower poll numbers than Congress, an unreasoned action, could be a study in corporate self-damage.
SAM says
I just cancelled my PayPal. Stop financing the enemy and enablers. We are in a war with the left and Islam. Just support the companies who support us. That is one thing we can do right now.
Japetto Donatelli says
What a great show, and Spencer was superb as he tends to be. If the fascists succeed in shutting him down then they also crush our concurring views on the same issue. If we lose our right to even speak about islam then we’ll have even less hope of preventing the violence and hate it causes. That’s not good for me or anyone else in America.
I should have the right to say islam is evil! because it is!
…slay the idolaters wherever you find them
In islam anyone who is not a muslim is an “idolater” worthy of enslavement or death. If Google denies me the right to declare such islamic ideas are wrong or evil then they are in effect saying that it isn’t. And if they are saying that it isn’t then they are saying that murder and persecution for religion is okay. By censoring my view they are actually more hateful than me because their stance is one of defending murder/terrorism for religion. Now tell me, who’s the real hater here?
Japetto Donatelli says

b.a. freeman says
sadly, everybody at fox uses “radical islam” as if there were a “mainstream islam” to which it could be compared. since no leftist propaganda networks allow any attacks on the pirate cult, i suspect that fox won’t allow people to appear on their network if they even intimate that “mainstream islam” might be more sinister than the left would have U believe. thus, regardless of his beliefs, mr. varney probably *cannot* speak ill of islam; neither can mr. spencer, or i’m sure that he would have taken the opportunity to enlighten people. and yes, it’s good that mr. spencer appeared on air, but i noticed that he didn’t say anything that general mcmaster wouldn’t say; the good general apparently actually believes the leftist lies about islam.
i believe that mr. spencer was deliberately pulling his punches. many people, if not most, get their information from videos, so it would be nice if he was able to speak the truth on-air, but any appearance will at least get him in front of the ignorant (as in “lacking knowledge,” not “stupid”) masses. i used to be one of them, and mr. spencer, among several others, has provided an invaluable update on this savage criminal cult.
Japetto Donatelli says
There are obvious time restraints with these appearances that simply don’t allow for a more nuanced take on the matter. With such an explosive issue it probably makes more sense to show tact for the wider audience. If Varney had simply said “islam” the backlash probably would have done more harm than good. In a more protracted debate or talk it would be easy to flesh out mainstream islam’s responsibility for the terror it causes. But in a terse 4 minute interview before a national audience it seems more sensible to glean the intended point without trolling the sensibilities of a large number of idiots. Given the circumstances I think Spencer sailed through these interviews like a master yachtsman. If he “pulled punches” it’s most likely because he knows the added restraint will work to his advantage. That’s exactly what I would expect a smart person to do.
PRCS says
This one got through, and the host seemed to have never heard such before:

Japetto Donatelli says
I remember that guy but I never saw this interview. Thanks for posting that.
PRCS says
You’re welcome.
David Conell says
Robert are you planning or considering legal action? Seems to me that Silicon Valley is the new segregated south. Once a democrat always a democrat.
Brian says
It is good to see you back on Fox news Robert!Thank you for always being willing to address the silencing of free speech by the left and others.
tim gallagher says
It’s great to see Robert appearing on these Fox programs with Carlson, Varney, etc. A good chance to get his message out to very large numbers of people. And I expect quite a few people would then take a look at Jihad Watch, Robert’s speeches on youtube and maybe his books. They could get some detailed information that way. Getting the truth about barbaric Islam out to large numbers of people is surely the point of Robert’s work, so this whole problem with Paypal could give a huge boost to his work. You do fantastic work Robert. Personally, I can’t think of anything more important than the work you do in these times of the great threat from Islam that all of us non-Muslims are facing. You deserve to be heard by a very large audience. It might wake up some of the slow learners. God knows, they all need to wake up.
Japetto Donatelli says
That’s such a nice sentiment I had to thank you for it even though I’m nobody to be thanking anyone. lol. I feel the same way, Spencer has the most important job on planet earth. It’s a shame so many people don’t know it.
tim gallagher says
Thank you Japetto for your comment. There’s obviously plenty of other problems in the world apart from Islam (North Korea, etc.) but I have felt for many years now that trying to wake people up to the danger that Islam poses to all non-Muslims is the biggest problem the world faces. That’s why I think Robert’s work in trying to get the truth out there about Islam to as many people as possible is the most important work. Of course I include other truth tellers like David Wood, Pamela Geller, Brigitte Gabriel, and the former Muslims like Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish and others along with Robert. I place Robert first among them. I just hope more and more people get to hear what he has to say. I feel everyone should have woken up by now, but obviously they haven’t. As you say, it’s the most important job on the planet and is dealing with our biggest threat.

Hear, hear!
Enrique says
I’m having a problem hearing this video and other FoxNews videos on YouTube and on Jihadwatch. I can’t hear them with either of two different browsers.
But I can hear other You Tube videos, other JihadWatch videos on You Tube, and other Fox News videos on You Tube.
gravenimage says
Odd–I haven’t had any trouble. You should contact Jihad Watch’s tech guy, Marc Louis, and see if he can help.
Enrique says
Well, now I can now hear all the Fox videos on this site and in You Tube. But I did nothing. Yet, I notice that I can hear them only at a lower volume than the non-Fox videos. Volume is turned to the maximum.
Just prior to discovering this, I had tried on my phone, and I could also hear them there, but also at a much lower volume than the non-Fox videos (on the Jihad Watch site).
Hopefully this will help technical support figure out what is causing this.
—
One more thing I notice. The home page for Jihad Watch is secure, but, according to one browser, this page is only partially secure. On another it’s secure only after blocking everything except Java Script and cookies. But there were no sounds on either browser for the JW-Fox videos until now.

Jenny H says
I normally read the Jihad Watch articles on my laptop. I’ve had no problem accessing them on my laptop, because
I do it every day. Earlier today, for the first time in a while, I searched for Jihad Watch on mobile phone using Google. (I googled Jihad Watch, I didn’t just get up my emails to access the newsletter.) I had a fair bit of trouble getting it up. At first the only choices available were articles and commentary denigrating Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch. If I hadn’t already accessed the website and also received the daily newsletter, it might have put me off making any further efforts to find the site.
It’s only because I persisted in searching for Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch, the correct one, that it gave me the choice of the Jihad Watch website.
Frank J. Verderber says
Square space shut down my Christian Website, http://www.doctrinesofchristianity.net because I had some articles dealing with the Mulsims, Jihad, Chatham House, and British Imperialism! They take money out of my account every month, but have decided to stop accepting the transfer, and shut me down by stating the site is expired. They do not answer my phone calls or emails. Fortunately I was in the process of moving it to a private server, and grabbed all my material. Ill be up and running and will be advertising Square Space’s Nazi extremes, while encouraging others to come to the new honest and non-political carrier.
