OT: The News Thread

without breaking a sweat, i found three specific examples of anti-american, anti-israeli language, and then i uncovered an absolutely disgusting whitewash of the taliban murder of foreign doctors in afghanistan. i proved my case. and i didn't really have to. what you guys basically did was ask me to prove that water was wet.

you guys are anti-american, anti-israeli, and highly sympathetic to "the palestinians", to islamists, and to iran. i think you need to move past trying to get me to prove you are what you are, and ask yourselves why it bothers you so much to be (accurately) labelled as those things.
 
another example of sympathetic, jihadi-hugging posts from an unnamed FI poster, found after about 2 mins of casual searching.....

"Where are the large number of plane hijacking Jihadis? 4 is not a large number. Likewise, the number of suicide bombers in comparison with the amount of foreign jihadis in Iraq was incredibly small."
 
i have to admit this one took me about 4 mins. but its a good one. this particular little gem was used to pooh-pooh some polling numbers that showed how anti-US many in the middle east were. i think the nameless genius who wrote this was trying to suggest the very low US favourability numbers were actually part of an american plot....

"The State Dept. has every reason to fudge the numbers in order to adhere to their mission statement. The U.S. was more hated under Bush Jr. than any other president before him, yet State Dept. polls of the day still showed favourable numbers. Put on that brave face for the U.S. media."
 
and who can forget this golden oldie. where one of you suggested that drunk driving was far, far worse than 9/11....

"17,488 > 2,752

Drunk Driving >>>> Islamic Terror "

Well he's technically right.

Heart disease and cancer are also far more dangerous than Islamic terror. And I hate Islamic fundamentalism.

it was one day out an eternity, all because your beloved US was very lax in its immigration policies which of course they then tried to blame on us, after all why investigate a complaint that someone wants to take flying lessons but doesn't care if he learns to land or not.
 
The obvious problem here is one of fundamental language.

Doubting US foreign policy, their motives, etc is not inherently "Anti-American"

Believing that Israel may just be over reacting a smidge to the threat of Hamas isn't being "viscerally Anti-Israel"

Arguing that international agreements should apply to Islamist combatants is neither rationalizing for, nor sympathizing with (in the context you're clearly using the word) with Islamists

Nor is arguing that international agreements signed in good faith should apply in our dealings with Iran, sympathizing with Iran.


The problem KB, is that you're a wingnut. Sorry, but it's the ****ing truth. Anyone who isn't in lockstep with your far right wing belief system immediately becomes a suicide bomber in training to you. You then fall all over yourself to selectively quote out of context to prove your point. Nobody is buying it, even the admittedly right wing members of the board.

You're ****ing right, I'm right. I said that and I stand by it.

If this jackass is going to throw 9/11 deaths around like a statistics to try to prove his point on anything ...it's a statistic. Let's judge it against other statistics.
 
and no jackass, you don't get to call this proof that I'm anti american due to my stance on this.

the 17K drunk driving deaths I referenced were Americans

17,000+ American deaths is a bigger tragedy than 2700+ American deaths
 
engaging in a years-long pattern of angrily slamming almost every american foreign policy move, expressing satisfaction or outright joy at american foreign policy failures, and systematically apologizing for, sympathizing with, or pooh-poohing "palestinian" or islamist activities makes you anti-american. foaming at the mouth when i call you on it doesn't change that. when you go out of your way to minimize 9/11- 9/11 for chrissakes- by suggesting drunk driving is a worse crime, you are either rabidly anti-american, or a really, really insensitive douchebag. take your pick.
 
So, you think that 2700 Americans dying in 2001 is worse than 17,000 Americans dying annually because the brown boogie men did it, and I'm the insenstive one here. Gotcha.


As for the rest of that shite, as usual, your characterization of me and my arguments are downright hilarious.
 
establishing some kind of moral equivalence between 17,000 separate drunk driving accidents and the purposely planned terrorist attack that was 9/11 to minimize the significance of it is utterly and completely deplorable, and if you honestly can't see why, then you have a problem.

Another KrauthammerBoy reading comprehension fail.

the context wasn't one of "moral equivalence".

it was brought up only in the context of the "threat/danger to the north american people".

i.e. if memory serves, you were saying you felt that you needed to be protected from the threat of terrorism in your ottawa suburb.
 
in five minutes of searching i provided three examples above. i also have years and years of memories of fighting against countless other examples. i think the more useful exercise would be for you guys to prove that you are NOT:

1. rabidly anti-american
2. viscerally anti-israeli
3. highly prone to apologizing for, and sympathizing with, the "palestinians", islamists, and iran

but those memories are stored in your mind...and your mind is broke

17,000+ American deaths is a bigger blessing than 2700+ American deaths


fixed it to what kb just read
