SEAN HANNITY: “Among all of the stupid things that I think I have heard about radical Islam, the State Department jobs program has to be ranked the highest among them. I mean because if that’s their mentality, Colonel, then maybe we should give people free housing, terrorists housing, and maybe we should get them Ferraris, and Obamacare. I’ve seen a lot of terrorists on TV that need dental work. Maybe free dental care. Maybe that will make them like us.”
LT. COLONEL RALPH PETERS: “Marie Harf is exhibit A for the comprehensive failure of the U.S. educational system. That woman has a masters degree in international relations from the University of Virginia. Moms and dads, save your money. Now what was saying today about jobs, terrorists just need jobs? Then we give them union cards and a path to citizenship? I mean, Osama bin Laden was wealthy. Major [Nidal] Hasan, the Ft. Hood butcher - he had a job as I recall. He was a Major in the Army. Do you think the, the guy in Copenhagen, just last weekend, when he pulled the trigger, trying to kill a cartoonist and as many other Danes as he could, was he screaming “jobs, jobs, jobs?” No, he was screaming “Allahu Akbar!” I mean this is sheer idiocy!”
