Isn't that the truth.
The woman who FIRST played the race card now decries being caught playing the race card.
are you refering to post 58? I heard Norm on O'Reilly talking about the bill, if you want to know more maybe you can read the O'Reilly transcript from last night.
If what I stated above was to take place (which it wouldn't) I am willing to see 2/3rds of the Republicans thrown under the bus if 4/5 of the Democraps go with them.
The fact that Portgate is getting this level attention does not bother me. I think it deserves it. Although I STILL haven't come down with a firm opinion either way. I can't think of an issue in which I can see both sides of the argument like I can this one (Among the participating CONSERVATIVES, at least, not the political minded liberals)
The fact that AbleDanger, Chinagate, etc. have NOT received the appropriate level of media concern and attention (IMO, at least 10 times the level of Portgate is justifiable) proves to me we live in a "government media matrix" a la Keannu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne.
If there was any justice, the media would have their First Amendment credentials taken away for their incompetence bias, and collusion with the Democrat Party.
Someone explain something to me. I don't get any of the comments about this being a matter of "race" at all. What race is it that we are allegedly bigoted about? Arabs are considered in the U.S. as of the Caucasian race. Most are a Semitic peoples just like the Jews are. Jews are considered Caucasian; Arabs are considered Caucasian. Where does racial bigotry come in at all? Now there may be religious bigotry, as Arabs are mostly Muslims, and it is the hardcore Muslim ideologues that are causing all the trouble. But I just don't get at all comments of racial bigotry. It's just hurling those words out there in order to stop real discussion of the issues, by dismissing arguments against the ports deal as bigotry. It disgusts me, and too many Pubs, including Bush and the Bushbots have stooped to this level. It's just like what the Dems do, not what I would ever expect from Pubs.
On thing I am sure of, however, is that playing the race card is a sure sign of weakness in your arguments.
You can disagree with MM about the ports issue, but she is dead on about the Right playing the race card.
only reason this has gotten the news is because its an election year.
That seems backwards to me. All I can say is watch Hillary Clinton. One day she was talking about vouchers in terms of which religion was OK, the next day the only good Arab is a dead arab.
Who's next on your list? Ann Coulter?
I've said this before, but what are Americans but a people sunning themselves into a stupor at a resort while foreign help handles all the details of running this resort?
This scenario would last until time to behead the guests.
If some of us are going to love muslims, then do it from afar....across oceans preferably. The closer they get to us the more we're likely to end up dead.
The UAE in a recent year voted against the USA in the UN 100% of the time. This entire picture of foreigners running things inside the USA stinks!
Homeland Security is comprised of a gaggle of geese.
Experts?
They are on permanent OJT that will last for decades.....meanwhile.....
These US "managers" would no doubt be selected from the enormous pool of bureaucratic numbskulls who are responsible for most every SNAFU.
:^)
I would have put a sarcasm tag on that line, but I thought it might detract from the rest of my post.
good observation
>"The woman who FIRST played the race card now decries being caught playing the race card."<
-Malkin also used the race card word: "Islamophobia" ?
Can you quote her verbatim, or provide a link to where she "first played the race card"?
I never said that, but nice try.
>"I never said that, but nice try."<
You said:>"The woman who FIRST played the race card now decries being caught playing the race card."<
Can you back up that statement with a quote from Malkin?
I'd like to see where she is playing the race card.
Try reading any (most) of her columns.
You're ducking from your assertion:
>"The woman who FIRST played the race card now decries being caught playing the race card."<
Perhaps you should retract your statement as being factual, since it appears that you can't provide a quote that backs up your claim.
For instance, in this article:
PORTGATE AND THE RUBBER-STAMPERS
in her rant about Dubai, she conventiently left out this important fact:
May 2005: Dubai signs a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. to join the Megaports Initiative. Dubai will be the first government in the Middle East to participate in the scheme, which is intended to detect and seize shipments of radioactive material
Now why would she do that?
BTW, you will note that she is NAME CALLING in her article.
