[Mr. Mojo]

The fund-raisers are people like Mori Hosseini, the Iranian-born chief executive of ICI Homes,

Newsflash: Iranians aren't Arabs.

[My Favorite Headache]

But Howard Dean calls this a racist war!!!!

"Yet the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the war in Iraq have been a catalyst for some wealthy Arab-Americans to become more involved in politics. And there are still others who have a more practical reason for opening their checkbooks: access to a business-friendly White House. Already, their efforts have brought them visits with the president at his ranch in Crawford, Tex., as well as White House dinners and meetings with top administration officials."

NY Slimes at it's worst. I hate that newspaper.

Interesting though, I always suspected the 2 Zogbys were related - but didn't know they are BROTHERS!!!

No wonder I never trusted that pollster.

One reason may be that Arab-Americans are not a monolithic group.

NYTimes admitting they're ignorance again.

""Arabs in U.S. Raising Money to Back Bush""

Something like all Hispanics are Mexican...in the eyes of the NY Times...

"The fund-raisers are people like Mori Hosseini, the Iranian-born chief executive of ICI Homes,

Big donations have brought high-level access for Dr. Malik Hasan, a native of Pakistan and the former chief executive of Foundation Health Systems of Denver,

Fred Pezeshkan counts himself among the Republican hard core. For the past 25 years, Mr. Pezeshkan has lived in Naples, Fla., where he is president of the Krate Construction Company. He is also a first-time Ranger, having raised $200,000 for Mr. Bush. In previous years, except for voting Republican, the Iranian-born Mr. Pezeshkan was not politically active.

Most Arabs and Persians living here in the States would naturally support this President, They fled those despotic Regimes to come here for a better life, President Bush's leadership has been directly responsible for liberating 30 to 50 million people from the bondage known as Islamic Law and Tyrannical Dictatorship.

I have several Arab and Persian customers who think George W. Bush can walk on water. Only the people who benefited from either the Tali-ban or the Hussein Regimes would defend them, and they are not here, they are on the run, dead or captured

Newsflash: NY Times ignorant of what the word "Arab" means... best attempt yet: "anyone from the Middle East who isn't a dirty Jew from Israel".

[faithincowboys]

Many understand that Kerry would cut and run and leave Iraq in utter chaos. That is a very real possibility. If I were a Kuwaiti, I would see to it that Bush were re-elected.

Kerry is dangerous for America, the region and the world. His extreme leftism and irresponsibility make him unfit for office, now we must show the American people the real face of Kerry--not the war hero lie that is being peddled relentlessly.

Arabs in U.S. Raising Money to Back Bush

Well, we know what that means for Israel.

[tkathy]

Any Muslim who cares about their people, would support Bush all the way.

Of all the names the story throws at you, only two support the lead, by being Arab-American donors:

1. Yousuf Ghafari, a Lebanese-born Christian, and
2. Tim Attallah. (Yeah, "Tim." There's a real ay-rab for ya). Tim gave $2,000, which if you're the New York Times is practically overthrowing democracy (what did Soros give the DNC?).

The rest of the cited "Arab contributors" either aren't Arabs, or aren't contributors. So you have a whole story based on one guy, poor Ghafari.

One more example of how the journalistic standards of the Times have been in a death spiral since at least the advent of the Raines regime. I mean, did anybody edit this piece?

But wait -- maybe it isn't about telling a story. Maybe it's about trying to frighten the Jews among the paper's aging readers, and to ensure they turn out to vote for the paper's party this fall. Which is, if it's the case, another marker of the post-Raines Times.

In 1993, Mr. Attallah stood on the White House lawn as an invited guest when the Israeli-Palestinian peace accord was signed. But now, he said, he is troubled by the administration's stance in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and is concerned about the antiterrorism law and the lack of Republican leaders campaigning for Arab-American votes.

Uh, somebody should tell Mr. Attallah that it's a different administration in the White House now than in 1993.

[concerned about politics]

I've read other articles about this. At first, I said "huh?"
After reading, I discovered they like Bush for what he's doing in Iraq. They see democracy and a Republic being set up, and they approve of that.
