CNN anchor and correspondent Jim Clancy attracted a lot of attention tonight when he started making completely bogus claims like this one.
The cartoons NEVER mocked the Prophet. They mocked how the COWARDS tried to distort his word. Pay attention.

@clancycnn Absolutely untrue. The magazine was targeted in the past over an issue in which Muhammad was listed as guest editor.
— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) January 7, 2015
Instead of just accepting that he was wrong, Clancy started making accusations that give us a pretty good window into his real feelings about Israel. It turned into a real train wreck.
@OrenKessler Hasbara?

@clancycnn What's wrong with you? Do you have an angry teenage son who took over your computer today? @OrenKessler
— Just Quoting (@dailydishwater) January 7, 2015
@clancycnn Huh? What on Earth are you talking about?
— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) January 7, 2015
.@clancycnn I call you out on your total unfamiliarity with the facts, and that's your response? Extraordinary.
— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) January 7, 2015
.@clancycnn Here's a bit of background from that hasbarist rag the New Statesman. Read the second paragraph. http://t.co/hWwTrmhuyy

@OrenKessler It's called satire.
— Jim Clancy (@ClancyReports) January 7, 2015
.@clancycnn Or you could admit that your tweet was mistaken, and your response to me was inappropriate.
— Oren Kessler (@OrenKessler) January 7, 2015
@OrenKessler @clancycnn Well at least we know there is one religion those 'brave' CNN reporters will attack.

.@clancycnn You might want to actually look at the cartoons before tweeting about them. I have a collection: http://t.co/QSvVFHKqwM

.@clancycnn So how do you interpret this one? pic.twitter.com/oZT7pDn1gL

The notion that every Muslim is a terrorist opponent of truth, justice and the American way needs to be tested. Methinks.
— Jim Clancy (@ClancyReports) January 8, 2015
@clancycnn Nobody sane/important claims "every Muslim" is that. Why are you arguing silly strawman arguments?

@clancycnn Finally, we get an inkling what "hasbara" means to Clancy & that he's all agog to see Netanyahu in the dock. A fair-minded jouno!

@clancycnn The "JewsMakingNews" account is a neo-Nazi account, not a "pro-Israel" account. Are you drunk right now or something?
— Human Rights News (@HumanRights2K) January 8, 2015
That would explain a great deal.

@elderofziyon @clancycnn Clancy, you idiot, JewMakingNews is an antisemitic account: "Dedicated to fingering #Jewish main players"
— Bt. Harris (@ValArgen) January 8, 2015
@ValArgen @elderofziyon Apparently @clancycnn thinks that @JewsMakingNews is an Israeli "false flag" operation…

@clancycnn @ChrisPV66 @elderofziyon With every snarky attack, sir, you prove yourself unfit to be called a journalist. #MediaBias
— David Abramovitz (@sliv_the_eli) January 8, 2015
.@clancycnn I freely admit to being pro-Israel. I also submit that my posts' accuracy far exceeds that of @CNN. And certainly more than you
— Elder Of Ziyon ҉ (@elderofziyon) January 8, 2015
@clancycnn At least you have dropped all pretence of objectivity. Bravo.
— Mr Callen ??????? (@CallenFamily) January 8, 2015
@HumanRights2K Get a grip, junior. It's my Friday night. You and the Hasbara team need to pick on some cripple on the edge of the herd.
— Jim Clancy (@ClancyReports) January 8, 2015
Score: #HasbaraTeam 2, @clancycnn 0 @HumanRights2K
— Elder Of Ziyon ҉ (@elderofziyon) January 8, 2015
@elderofziyon @clancycnn @HumanRights2K This clown scored in his own goal.
