red white army…

Bislang war ich zu allem Entsetzen nur auf Berichte gestossen, die zu dem Thema nicht wahrlich viel hervorbrachten. Umso schoener auf Seiten wie dieser noch ebhenso verstaendliche wie nuetzliche und verwertbare Informationen finden zu koennen….

Have we made so much progress in the last ten years, that the CBC can sell their constituents out with impunity to those at Fox who would like nothing better than a Back to Africa Movement?

It is not audacious or brave to take the Black Caucus to Fox…it is perfidy and pandering.

The CBC needss to fight to silence hate speech, ergo, to silence Fox. Anything less is betrayal!

Always amazes me that there are those who believe that any news orginization can be objective.
Wouldn’t that mean reporting every single event in the world , as not reporting a story is in itself a subjective decision , potentially fraught with bias. In addition , no words should be written or spoken as this to could be skewed by bias.
Unbiased newscasting is a pipe dream.

I leave for a day and the mice……

Ok, I’m back with my fly-swatter.

I’m against late-term abortions, but JC reminds me there’s times it’s an excellent choice.

Randy, ?

Now you bastards have exposed all my character flaws, time for a new user name. Hello………….Steve.

rlc has noted this “elsewhere” and it’s been on some other blogs, but check this guy Matthew Dowd’s story out. Officially Bush’s “chief campaign strategist for 2004″, he’s done a major 180′. Times article below…

To get back to FOX for a minute. If you go over to MYDD you’ll see some interesting stuff on a poll that the “Fair and Balanced” folks are conducting on debates. One questions asks if the person questioned believes that a televised debate could have an effect on the campaign. Fair enough. But then it asks the respondent to judge a series of “anti-Democratic Party” and “Anti-MoveOn” ads that FOX is considering running.

Excuse me? Since when do legitimate news organizations evaluate ads trashing a party? Or is this a “Push Poll”? And what is that doing there?

I’m sorry guys, but everyday FOX – like the rest of the Right Wing Noise Machine – is giving the game away.

you legitimize their attitudes towards Arabs and Muslims.

I see your point, but that was certainly not my intention.

I apologize, btw for calling you humorless.

My point is not that in particular you were joking about an ethnic group – its that by using – as you admit – that level of discourse to appeal to Jim R, who is an open bigot who should be studies, not argued with – you legitimize their attitudes towards Arabs and Muslims.

that should be Bill Hicks WAS funnier…

You know who’s not funny? Penn and Teller. They used to be, until their recent right-wing libertarian politics started springing up in their routines. They had an episode of their television show “Bullshit” in which they use Chomsky as a foil to prove that universities are dominated by the left – which is just “so obvious” to P and T. Who do they use – in his hipster persona that he remembers from hanging with Huey and the boys – for a talking head on academia? David Horowitz.

I think its all well and good to have good humored joke-embraces of ethnicities (Eddie Murphyâ€™s Jewish character, Apu on the Simpsons, etc.) but Jon Stewartâ€™s imitation of ululating and the normal everyday flip jokes about the Arab world – like yours – are not funny.

I was commenting about a news organization, not an ethnic group.

Randy, I was being flip about words being sabotage, to get your question out of the way.

I’m far from humorless – though anyone will acknowledge htat its impossible to read “tone” or “nuance” into language on the internet. So what may be meant as flip or humorous “sabotag” or “AJ = Foxnews etc.” comes out as serious.

I also think that most good humor is radical. Anarchist Bill Hicks is a little funnier than Dennis Miller, no? I will say that without being “PC” I’m very disaproving of certain ethnic jokes that liberals like Jon Stewart make about Arabs and Muslims. I think its all well and good to have good humored joke-embraces of ethnicities (Eddie Murphy’s Jewish character, Apu on the Simpsons, etc.) but Jon Stewart’s imitation of ululating and the normal everyday flip jokes about the Arab world – like yours – are not funny.

Borat Sagdiyev? funny.

Give it a rest, Ahmed. My comment was directed to Jim R. Sometimes one has to dumb things down for those on the reactionary right to understand. That’s the route I chose. I also apologized for any confusion. You’re merely proving my point about humorlessness.

I don’t comment much about the Middle East, but I’ll give you a thumbnail discussion of my opinions:

I favor an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

I do not favor the mixing of religion and politics whether it’s Islam, Roman Catholicism, Buddhism, Judaism or Southern Baptism.

I opposed the Iraq War from Day One and still do.

I oppose monarchies and dictatorships anywhere in the world, but especially in the Middle East, including “elected” dictatorships such Hosni Mubarak’s.

I have no use for Ehud Olmert.

I don’t appreciate the fact that my government spends so much of its foreign aid in the region, in particular as much as it spends with the Mubarak regime.

I don’t really give a shit what you think about me, but when someone has the courtesy to clarify a misunderstanding and apologize for the misunderstanding, a gentleman accepts it and moves on.

Again, please lighten up.

Yeah complex and multi-facted with a very targeted message. Same MO as FOX. Frontline World did a piece on it this week.

â€œFirst, who wants to engage in political discourse? Someone who calls you a scumbag? No.â€

I think Fred is getting the pointâ€¦

This on the other hand is funny…

If I conducted a quick poll, my guess is that your attempt at humor elicited few if any laughs. Humorless left you say? I don’t know, it sounds to me like you’re projecting. Nice job weaseling out of something you obviously know next to nothing about. Um, when i said Al Jazeera was equivalent to fox, i really meant what the right wing things of fox…right
