Jindal doubles down on no-go zones claim
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/01/21/bobby-jindal-defends-no-go-zones-myth-foxs-john/202225Excerpts:
"The Republican appeared on the January 21 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto. Cavuto said the term "no-go zones was wrong. I mean we reported the same, and we were wrong, we botched it, we apologized for it, you are not, I take it." Jindal said he wasn't apologizing, claiming "there are neighborhoods in the U.K. and in France that have been documented, very well documented, by Ambassador Bolton and others.""
...
"The Associated Press noted that "Like many other countries, Britain and France have crime-plagued neighborhoods where outsiders risk muggings and violence. In Europe, some of these areas are predominantly Muslim, in large part because they were settled by poor families from former colonies with Muslim majorities. While drug gangs and radical imams sometimes vie for influence in these zones, none is subject to the rule of Sharia.""
...
"The Institute even criticizes Bolton's employer, Fox News, for issuing "politically correct denials" about no-go zones."
Those dastardly muslims can hide their no-go zones from the very people living there, but US rightwingers know how to find them while staying on another continent!!! And if you dare to say otherwise, you are politically correct!!!

Oh! that is a reliable source! 
Bolton is an ignorant and bitter old man filled with contempt for the International community. When Bush appointed him to the UN he basically made no bones about it that he despised the UN and wanted to dismantle it. Bolton's opinions of "no go zones" hold about as much weight with me as Cheney's opinions on WMDs.
