Of course it's easy to get their message out - they have Al-Jazeera as their middleman.

Al- Jazzera is what should be shut down. That's how they get publicity, and what empowers them to do these hostage taking and bombing acts, much more than a worm on the net.
Although he may be a connection on a more personal level for jihadists who are planning.
The other terrorists are lefty media, they have been attacking the nation in a different way.

The remark by Peter Bardazzi who is described as director of new media development at New York University is typical of academic liberals. I believe that gory videos may have an opposite effect in America. I already may be convincing "security moms" that we need a strong President.

Ah, the hypocracy. You even seen it right here on FR. That is to say: "It's George W. Bush's fault!" ... but not this time. Much as I hate to admit it... this time it's 100% the fault of the magnificently ignorant creep who invented the Internet (drum roll....... ) tah dahhhhhhh ... Al Gore !!! ;-))

The nice thing about the internet is you choose your content... So madmen, kooks, and liberals can't commandeer our computers and stream propaganda into our homes like they do with the MSM!

And if Al-Jazeera should go down there's always CBS.

GMTA. I spent hours this morning searching online for exactly this character - Abu Maysara al-Iraqi (and variations). First off, the legends concerning "maysara" are intriguing; but more importantly, military Intel haven't heard the usual "chatter" from this guy since the recent precision-strikes in Fallujah.

... the US is trying to "silence" him? What a hoot! This guy supports beheadings and the kidnapping of hostages. This is like saying: The next time some guy brutally beats his woman, NOW and MSNBC should stop the police from arresting the batterer -- lest MSNBC appear to want to "silence" a female batterer.

No! If he has a wax job we can't make a nice rug out of his hide.

You have to think this stuff through logically.

What an odd odyssey you make from my most vanilla comment.
How in God's name did you extrapolate my comment as a criticism of Dubya?
What hypocracy? What fault?
What in the HELL are you babbling about?

This is probably rhetorical, as we ALL know, including ME, that Gore DIDN'T invent the Internet. The point is....if you haven't gotten it yet...the Internet is FABULOUS because of its freedom of speech. That's the GOOD. But the BAD is that it allows the creeps the same freedom of speech.

Capiche?

Sore E, but I did nothing of the kind. Hence, allow me to rephrase it all in a manner that better suits your limited means of understanding.

Ah, the Internet. We gotta take the bad with the good. For example: We take the idiotic left wing hypocritical talking points blather (e.g., "It's George W. Bush's fault") right along with the best and brightest comments from intelligent right wing thinkers, right here, on FreeRepublic!

Also... Sore E that you were unable to understand my Al Gore rant for what it truly is... a sarcastic jab at another left wing idiot! Therefore, allow me to repeat it in the following manner:

< sarcasm on> Much as I hate to admit it... this time it's 100% the fault of the magnificently ignorant creep who invented the Internet (drum roll....... ) tah dahhhhhhh ... Al Gore !!! ;-)) </ sarcasm off>

P.S. Shame on me! I figured the smiley face ;-)) was an adequate indication of my sarcasm. Stew Pid Me, eh? Ohhh... I nearly forgot to mention that I'm fully aware that Al Gore did NOT invent the Internet. Truth be told, the Internet was invented in 1968 by John F'n Kerry, while he was on Christmas vacation in Cambodia !!! ;-))

I am John Kerry and I approve this message! Cap Each?
