What Lies Beneath (retread troll zotted)
FireDogLake.com ^ | 4/11/06 | Matt O.

Posted on 04/11/2006 12:58:36 AM PDT by billyakovich

Frequently readers post comments with racial slurs such as “raghead” and “mooselimbs,” racist anecdotes, castration, charges of a low intellect, wiping their rear with the Koran, calls for a new crusade, violence towards and mass murder of all Muslims, the destruction of Islam and white supremacist-esque language like “It’s time we asserted our culture” and “moral and cultural superiority.” It seems that liberals are now by definition terrorists and labeled as such. They speak of Arabs and Muslims in much the same ways that a racist southerner would speak of blacks in the 1950s.

Responsible? Not quite.

Old member who faded from view coming back to FR.

He provides plenty of research, too. This is an interesting look at some double standards seen all too often online on both sides of the political fence.

I visit LGF every day, but rarely post.

"They speak of Arabs and Muslims in much the same ways that a racist southerner would speak of blacks in the 1950s."

Says who? Sour grapes here.

The excerpt doesn't do it justice because it contains links to posts, but check it out.

I rarely post on LGF as well, but really found the piece well written and researched. It's worth checking out and touches on some points.

white supremacist-esque language like “It’s time we asserted our culture” and “moral and cultural superiority.”

Oh please. What a crock. Every time this poster is offended I'm thinking "yes and.....??"

I don't think it's near as much racism and intolerance as PLAIN OLD-FASHIONED RESENTMENT as their crazy practices. Listen, they are often murderers and who can tell the difference??! And I'm someone that LIKES other cultures and learning about them and meeting them, including Arabs and Persians.
Still, I've got some sense and when people act so crazy, suicide bombers, feeding people to tigers and shredder machines, one just naturally looks down on that!
And as for the several different opinions on everything....that makes him racist??
The stuff is too deep in here!

go to a left wing site and you'll see left wingers talk about Christians like the way Democrats use to talk about blacks in the 1950s

I'm sure that's the case, but the writer does a good job of backing up his claims with links and research. It's one thing to make a generalization, it's another to prove it. Right or left, I'm always willing to hear a good argument. It's the best food out there.

Your post is to STUPID to respond to. I'll just say, that if the moo-slimes are offended by what I say, then I'm offended by what they've been doing for the last 30 fracking years. The moo-slimes and their gutter-cult, pretending to be a religion, and their "prophet" (may piss be upon him) need to be dealt with, with OVERWHELMING force.

oh, and meet the VKs:


SILLY, Viking Kitty! As you can see from the pics she is a well qualified Viking Kitty. She eats jerky and "tries" to drink my beer, she's ornery, headstrong, and generally a pain in the butt!!! (Particularly when she's in heat and I won't let her outside!!!!) LOL

Silly - The Viking Kitty

In this photo we see Silly at the door when I say "Disruptor"
Silly immediately takes up her position on the desk and contemplates the "ZOT" button
Here, Silly decides that the "ZOT" is in order, and she reaches for the "ZOT" button
Here, Silly advises me of a successful "ZOT" operation.
(click on each image to view a larger pic)

And, while I'm here, let me introduce the VK Division to BooBoo, Silly's trainee and new sidekick.

Great.
I appreciate that.

Could you also read this article too and let me know what you think about it, ok?

"Hell hath no fury like a Gray Lady scorned"
Posted: December 5, 2003
1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "As news broke last week that President Bush was returning from a historical Thanksgiving Day visit to the troops in Baghdad, Philip Taubman, the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times, was furious."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Enveloped in measures of intense security, the trip was not announced to the world until President Bush had already left Baghdad. It was a triumph of historical proportions – the White House had pulled off the impossible (sweetened by the way it happened to overshadow a trip to the region by Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose story was relegated to page 15).

After giving thanks to the troops for their heroic efforts in Iraq, President Bush would have been remiss if he did not turn to give his thanks to the journalists who accompanied him. This small group of professional reporters demonstrated journalism at its best, and for that they earned the gratitude of a president, his soldiers at war, and a nation.

Yet the Times' Taubman was angry at how the White House pulled off the trip. While a 6-year-old child would understand the White House's need to employ an innocent ruse to ensure the safety of the president, the reporters and the soldiers on the ground, Taubman told Washington Post columnist Howard Kurtz that once White House officials "decided to do a stealth trip, they bought into a whole series of things that are questionable." (In addition, Taubman just couldn't seem to understand why "in this day and age" the White House was unable "to take more reporters" on the journey).

To Taubman's defense came Tom Rosenstiel, director of the so-called Project for Excellence in Journalism. A misnomer by any standard, the "Project for Excellence in Journalism" is the very same outfit that produced the preposterous book, "The Elements of Journalism" co-written by Mr. Rosenstiel and Bill Kovich (a former Washington bureau chief of the New York Times). One of the key insights of this disaster in journalism is (I'm not making this up):

It is worth restating the point to make it clear. Being impartial or neutral is not a core principle of journalism."

Wow, don't know how to really respond to that. Confused a bit, disturbed a little, unmoved immensely.

Does anyone care to discuss the article?

I'm offended by what they've been doing for the last 30 fracking years.

Actually, I would even expand that to centuries ago when Islam was first created (it was violent then just like today).

Ever check out what they call Bush and Republicans on DU and dailykos? I noticed the author has them on his list of sites to visit.
