2. Frank Gaffney does refer to peaceful Muslims & says "they are not necessarily the problem -- at least not yet." Implication clear.

4. So, from video: Ahmed's (very reasonable, intelligent & respectful) question met with raw anti-Muslim bigotry.

5. To defend panel you have to believe that what Gaffney and Gabriel were saying isn't anti-Muslim bigotry.

6. Disheartening thing about incident isn't just panel but way it's been embraced & whitewashed by mainstream (i.e. Politico.).

7. What Politico (and others) have demonstrated is that they can't recognize anti-Muslim bigotry when it is staring them in the face.

8. Brigitte Gabriel's rant -- "are you an American?" -- was really something. Implication clear: Ahmed being disloyal by asking question.
