‘They Started It:’ The Best Justification For Holy War In Ten Years

by Jim Newell

Yes! This should be our only offered reason for any of the nine or ten million profound foundational fuckups currently blowtorching the country into a real-life cartoon of death: “They started it!” As in, we’ll put whatever Jeebus codes we wants on our Muslin-Exterminating Freedom Guns, because “they started it,” the Holy War formerly known as the War on Terror. No detention for us; suspension for them! Oh goodness. Note how Steve Doocy hesitates just before saying it, too, like “oh god I can’t believe I am passing on this evil private comment of my wife’s to the entire teevee and Internet.” [HuffPo]

The only shocking part of this video is that someone married Douchey.

chascates January 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm

What came first? The murderous Muslim or the murderous Christian?

Or the murderous Jew, the murderous Zeus-worshipper, the murderous…

Terry January 22, 2010 at 2:34 pm

Wow, is this Fox admitting that they have finally have run out of excuses?

Jim Demintia January 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Suck. on. this.

Now that’s psychotic. This guy, his shilling is just weak.

memzilla January 22, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Ahh, the sequel to “Going Rouge:” “Going Doocy.”

Extemporanus January 22, 2010 at 2:36 pm

We didn’t start the…FIRE!

ManchuCandidate January 22, 2010 at 2:38 pm

My IQ dropped 54 1/2 points watching that.

Faux reducing 10 centuries of religious conflict into a schoolyard excuse.

WadISay January 22, 2010 at 2:39 pm

I’m OK with Doucey saying Allah huakbar before he blows himself up. Fair is fair.

jetjaguar January 22, 2010 at 2:39 pm

I like how brown-haired guy that is not Steve Doocy was all like “mmm, yeaaaah, moving on…”

RoscoePColtraine January 22, 2010 at 2:40 pm

It’s called a trial balloon. You float something ridiculous to see if anybody shoots it down. If they do, you admit that it never was something you really meant to say. If they don’t, you take credit for saying something really clever and poignant. His facial expression is telling those of us “in the know” that that’s what this is.

Buzz Feedback January 22, 2010 at 2:41 pm

It’s Friday so I’m going to skip the video and go right to calling Steve a douche-nozzle.

Dave J. January 22, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Doocy is literally the stupidest person on television.

Rosie Scenario January 22, 2010 at 2:44 pm

Steve Doocey is flashing back to the day he clobbered his little sister and she screamed for her mother. His reply: “Maaaaaaa! But she started it!

Junior January 22, 2010 at 2:45 pm

The Deuce is clearly such a great, religious, Patriotic American. However, it is clearly obvious he doesn’t know what the 8 and 12 refer to.

Extemporanus January 22, 2010 at 2:48 pm

[re=499568]frailamerica[/re]: They met on a summer’s eve.

From Wockawockawockapedia:

“Doocy has written two New York Times best sellers. The first is about marriage and family life entitled, The Mr. and Mrs. Happy Handbook. The second is about fatherhood entitled, Tales from the Dad Side.”

Contrary to what one might assume, his wife Kathy’s last name is neither “Doocy” nor “Happy”, but is actually “Gerrity”. Apparently, she was previously married to Leo from The West Wing.

Also, too:

“He is a practicing Roman Catholic and a lector in his local church. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus of Bergen County, New Jersey.”

[re=499585]Dave J.[/re]: I don’t even think he’s the dumbest person on Fox. The ratings reflect who’s the dumbest, I mean come on, their target audience is the trailing third of the intelligence bell curve. The more of that you capture, the bigger a Fox star you are.
Using this approach, Weepy Beck and Bill-O are in a race to mental retardation with Sister Sara getting a late start but showing lots of promise. Still, when it comes to bringing the stupid, it’s hard to top Weepy.

[re=499583]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Steve-o is the stuff IN the douche nozzle…

SayItWithWookies January 22, 2010 at 2:52 pm

And when Dubya said “we don’t torture,” it was opposite day. Also, when we said that the finance industry had to pay back the TARP money, Geithner didn’t say “Simon says,” so nobody really had to do that. But those banks that did pay back their money aren’t entitled to take-backs or do-overs. Now I just wish someone had called “red light” before the Mass. election results were announced.

JMP January 22, 2010 at 2:52 pm

Uh, Douchey, putting Bible quotes on guns is not an acceptable reaction to “them” making a religious statement, seeing as our military represents the United States of America, which is an officially secular nation with no official religion; while the Bible represents one particular religion that a lot of us don’t believe in.

And if you do really want to make this a Christians v. Muslims thing, “they” didn’t start it, anyway. Ever hear of the Crusades?

Neilist January 22, 2010 at 2:52 pm

As the proud owner of a Trijicon sight (albeit, one the less-expensive models), I submit that you don’t need to go as far as the New Testament for a good Bible reference to put on a low-light/light multiplier gunsight.

In fact, you don’t need to go any further than the first Chapter of Genesis, specifically, Genesis 1:3.

(The special model that Trijicon came up with for the IDF, so Israeli soldiers can more efficiently gun down Palestinian schoolchildren in the dark of night or in the wee hours of the morning, uses this verse. That way the Noble & Heroic Friends of Joe Liebermann are not offended.

(That said, I still think it reads better the Vulgate.)

Not_So_Much January 22, 2010 at 2:56 pm

His deep thoughts are what really makes that show tick.

If there’s a god, he’s loading his rifle with a suction-cup dart imprinted with the words “This one’s from Jesus, ya big dummy,” and aiming it at Steve Doocy’s forehead.

The machine-gun goes Buddha-Buddha-Buddha!

RoscoePColtraine January 22, 2010 at 2:59 pm

The muslins say “allah akbar,” we say “I pop this cap in thine ass in the name of Jeeee-sus.”

You can literally translate one into the other.

imissopus January 22, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Next on Fox: Steve Doocy and Osama bin Laden engage in a spirited exchange of “Am not! Are too!”

Holy Cow!! January 22, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Is he eight years old?

germansteel January 22, 2010 at 3:04 pm

Back when I was a kid, I wasn’t too nuanced about people that I thought were dweebs and weenies. I’d beat the crap out of ‘em. I realize now that that was wrong, and I’m long past doing stuff like that.

However, Doocy tries my patience in that regard. If given the chance, I’m not sure I wouldn’t revert back to my bad old self.

[re=499580]jetjaguar[/re]: Kilmeade is actually the dangerous one. I mean, look at the demo he taped to get his current job.

OReillysVibrator January 22, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Ahh, I remember the first-ever incident of using your religion to justify killing people, and it was indeed the Muslims who started it, so keep shooting, everybody.

Aurelio January 22, 2010 at 3:06 pm

[re=499594]Neilist[/re]:
The special model that Trijicon came up with for the IDF…uses Genesis 1:3 (Let there be light).

Special OT gunsights for Jews?

Then Trijicon should put Sura numbers from the Koran on the gunsights sell to Islamic insurgents, which I’ll bet they do, on the down low.

Ducksworthy January 22, 2010 at 3:09 pm

[re=499594]Neilist[/re]: Myself I prefer the Crumb version, for the pictures. Also the repetition is more clear, clearer?

Iraq is rubber and Steve is glue; whatever Steve says bounces off Iraq and sticks to the Douche.

If the War on Terror now rivals grade-school recess (“they started it!”), then does that mean we will start dealing purple nurples and atomic wedgies in Afghanistan? I’d imagine those could achieve far more shock and awe than these pansy-ass Radio Shack drones.

Mr Blifil January 22, 2010 at 3:16 pm

If the Jews hadn’t felt the need to open all those fancy jewelry and knick-knack stores in German cities, Kristallnacht would never have happend. THEY STARTED IT!!1!1

Doocy is going to be a star witness in our modern day Scopes trial.

[re=499614]Aurelio[/re]: “If the price is right . . . ”

When it comes to Sura, I always start with “The Cow.” And once again, it pays off:

“Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness– they do not see.”

But, luckily, Allah gave them, as a replacement, the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight:

http://www.trijicon.com/specialties/military.cfm

(But, Boy Howdy Bismillah!, those things are EXPENSIVE. An ACOG costs more than the M16 on which it is mounted.

The only people who can afford them are Oil Arab Armies and Funded By The USA! IDF units.)

[re=499617]Ducksworthy[/re]: The Getty Museum in Westwood has a exhibit of the Crumb version. Not enough Big Titted/Big Butted “women by the well,” if you know what I mean and I think you do.

You all seem to think that he’s a dummy. I actually learned something here.

I did not know that Muslims say, “Admiral Akbar” before they blow themselves up.

DoktorZoom January 22, 2010 at 3:35 pm

“Apparently some Muslims are angry over the fact…” Nice way to distort the fact that the complaint initially came from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a secular group of US Americans that is less than thrilled by outbreaks of rampant evangelism in the military. Also.

Monsieur Grumpe January 22, 2010 at 3:38 pm

Glenn Beck’s fellow Mormons are converting the dead Muslims to Christianity so there’s that.

Min January 22, 2010 at 5:50 pm

In my childhood household, the exclamation, “he/she started it!”, was usually followed by across-the-board spankings and corner time. I believe it is an old practice whose time has come again.

Suds McKenzie January 22, 2010 at 6:39 pm

True Story.

Allyson January 22, 2010 at 7:40 pm

Check out what John 8:12 (the bible passage) actually says:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Yeah–because walking into a battlefield will increase one’s chances of life…
