O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:153/170/200]

Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

You would need to go back to the first gulf war and the begining of this one and do alot of reading..Im old enough and I paid attention enough to what was going on to have an opinion on it.

I didn't have Al Jazeera or the internet in 1990. Did you?
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

The burden is on you to show me the anti-American propaganda. Opposition to government foreign policy doesn't count.

No its not...Not up to me educate you or revisit history that youve missed

What did they do that leads you to believe that they are not America's friend? It's a simple question, really.

Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

I'll guess that your alarm bell failed to ring when OBL announced on a national TV news program that he was issuing a fatwa on the US, i.e. they were officially at war with the US, in the late 1990's.

John Miller's 1998 Interview With Osama Bin Laden (Why We Fight Reminder)

And if you'd known there were ONLY 19 Sleeper Cell members in the US on the morning of 9/11/01 you probably would have slept through that alarm, too.

Incorrect, these 19 men, 20 if you include the young man caught before hand, were not sleepers. They were actively training for their mission here in the USofA. They were on the radar but the higher ups didn't follow up field agent reports. Big difference.

What has been happening in this country isn't sleepers but citizens radicalized by events overseas and a perception most Americans hate Muslims and believe anything bad said against them.

I don't like everything AJ puts on air, however that said I don't care for a lot of the hate spewed by Fox's 'commentators/entertainers/pot stirrers.

I am asking for evidence to support your claim. Nothing more.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

In other words, your "sky is blue on a clear day" blindingly obvious non-point is confirmed. Thank you.

Don't mention it. You apparently have decided to be the arbiter of what is allowed and what is not. Perhaps you should apply for a moderator postion, should one become vacant. Let me know if you need a reference.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

I'm 19 pages in and I'm not really seeing any evidence of anti- anything by AJ that other accepted news networks haven't engaged in.

There appears to be some allegations of stealth jihad but I'm wondering who exactly can interpret the code? Don't they risk mollifying potential extremists looking for an Arab viewpoint with their fairly liberal reportage, when intending this trojan horse to gain the trust of westerners?

Honestly though, I'm not interest in providing hits or viewing AJ. Any national news station that provides such propagandist reporting of said nation is not worthy of my respect, no matter how neutral the rest of the reporting is.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

But, you would readily admit many anti-Semites (bigots) cloak their bigotry with the cry that they were just criticizing the Israeli policies, yes?

Would you agree that racists in this country cloak their bigotry by saying they oppose Obama's policies?

Disagreeing with policies of the Israeli government is not the same as anti-semitism. The fact that you can't tell the difference isn't surprising. Opposing Israel's government is anti-semitic as much as being a Republican makes one a racist. Make your own conclusions from that. I'm used to people taking my opinions to illogical extremes.

There is an opposition party in Israel. They have a democracy, and as a result the opposition party often opposes the actions of the government as done by the party in power. Perhaps this comes as a shock, but most of these people in the opposition are Jewish. I guess in your book they hate themselves.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

Do you think the bigotry toward Jews began with the Zionist movement and the creation of the state of Israel or do you think this animus started in history past?

It started before but events like the holocaust just made expedited the process.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

Gore made about 100,000,000 bucks on this deal and pushed hard for it to go down ASAP to avoid taxes. He made his money in tobacco and is truley one of modern America's greatest liars and laughs all the way to the bank.
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

Here's a clue. The only people I know who express an objection to an article because it's in a Jewish magazine are bigots.

I can't stand that about you.

Anti-Semitism is not the moral equivalent of anti-Muslim.

Anti-Muslim sentiment has, at it's root, a desire to be free and safe from those Muslims who are commanded
to achieve dominion over the world by any means necessary, even violence, by their Holy book.

Anti-Semitism sentiment has, at it's root, a refusal to accept people's right to be Jewish or a reluctance to recognize the rights of Jews to live where they traditionally lived for more than 5,000 years.


Anti-Muslim sentiment has, at it's root, an irrational belief that all of the world's two billion Muslims think alike and are commanded to achieve dominion over the world by any means necessary, even violence, by their Holy book. This sentiment ignores history and the fact that the Bibles call for, and have motivated, more violence than any other book in history. (Crusades, Inquisition, Native American genocide, Holocaust)

The fact is is your posts make no sense...

you complain about racists as you spread antisemtism giving it the cloak of being anti zionism...

what a joke.,..

Oh please... give it a break... where is the Muslim reformation?.... there is none.. the Madrasses keep cranking out millions of jihadists and they are funded.....
 
Re: O'Reilly: Al Gore's sale to al-Jazeera 'sleazy and disgraceful' [W:152]

Can you imagine the far out lefty loons going bonkers if Dick Cheney sold a TV station to Al Jazeera or anything oil related...

that should show how morally bankrupt the left is..

When do I ever spread anti-semitism? Or anti-zionism?

I think Israel has a right to exist, but that doesn't mean I think every action of their government is beyond reproach.

Now, go find where I said anything that's anti-semitic. I DARE you to find it. Because you won't.

Probably as much as the far out righty loons go bonkers over "an Egyptian magazine."
