When Ms. Dash can't recall an important figure in history like Daniel Pearl, Houston We Have A Problem!!! It is either wilful neglect or worse, sheer ignorance on her part.
Either way, to state a US President wouldn't allow beheadings in another country, not under our control is complete arrogance at best, utter ignorance at worse, I'm going with the latter.
Ms. Dash has made several major blunders while working on "Fixed Noise". This is just another COMPLETE Factual error that hasn't, to my knowledge, even been attempted to clear up, fix, or make it right. NO, Ms. Dash just continues to get away with making things up as she goes, REWRITING HISTORY to support her objective and then lies through her teeth to get it done.
“When George W. Bush was president, the most important thing to him was not to be liked, but to be respected,” she said. “And you better believe no one would have been beheaded when he was president.”
Pearl was in fact beheaded, and an execution video was released. His death has even been cited as having catalyzed the practice, leading to its use by ISIS today. Via the Washington Post:
So if you believe the Washington Post, Daniel Pearl was the beginning of a long line of people to be beheaded, and it started on, gasp, George W. Bush's watch. Or if you believe the very thought inducing Stacey Dash doing her best Officer Barbrady "Move along People, Nothing to see here."
