The biggest news to me, however, is that CNN EUROPE will NOT report on this!! I am sitting in Germany now and neither will ANY OF THE GERMAN STATIONS!!
Even TELE5, the French station, is not concentrating on this as too big a story. They had a panel discussion just now. I can understand French from having gone to university in Canada:
An American leftist who spoke great French (like Jane Fonda does) was just explaining the parallels between this and the Rodney King riots. He was trying to sympathize with the rioters. His mistake? The French leftists on the panel were furious that he implied that this was an *ethnic* riot! "This has nothing to do with race or religion" they cried with so much fury that I was sure they would attack him physically on TV. Their spin is that this riot indicates the need for the overthrow of Sarkazy and the last vestiges of right wing reactionism against the inevitable progression of the proletariat and downtrodden third world.
That the American leftist noted the South Central LA Riots calmed down when 8000 soldiers were sent to the scene: that brought the most bile! His fellow panelists were like: "Typical American...he thinks that you can solve every problem with the military."
American leftists have to understand that they cannot win. They are considered right wingers by their international counterparts and would be executed along with the rest of us if there was ever a victory of international socialism over Amerika.
I think the Germans might be worried the fun and games may jump to their cities.

Very insightful.
Perhaps they don't want the Muslims in their villa's to start rioting as well.
"An American leftist who spoke great French (like Jane Fonda does) was just explaining the parallels between this and the Rodney King riots."
That must have been funny to watch. It just goes to show how clueless the left all over the world really is. They will deny socialism is the root cause of all these troubles, along with Islamic Appeasement (a dangerous combination!) until Europe collapses again, and hundreds of thousands are dead.
I suspect things will start up in Spain sometime soon as well. It may well spread all through Europe, Jihad has begun. Dhimmitude will become official. Eurabia is born.
You must mean CNN international...they are notorious for not reporting big stories that might make the USA look good or them look bad. They honestly work harder at not reporting that they would if they actually reported all the news.
When I was in Sweden a couple years back, caught a bit of Sky TV. Sweden only has like 4 channels and mostly shows old American shows like "Knight Rider" dubbed in Svenska. Sky had the only news-weather channel and you had to be lucky enough to be watching at the time or miss the odd weather report which seemed to be only every eight hours or so.
It was September, kind of cool out, cloudy. He gave the report for England..."It is dark and dank". That was all he said! Nothing. Again, even with the weather, notorious under-reporting. Why couldn't he just say, 15C and rainy for the next 6 days?
LOL

Harhar. JaJa.
Fun to watch the communists fight.
So much fodder for the nationalists.

NO ONE, not even the "typical" American, is THAT stupid. :o)
The program was designed to do just what it did -- validate one side and inflame the other side.
I doubt the average frog cares for either extreme.
American leftists have to understand that they cannot win. They are considered right wingers by their international counterparts and would be executed along with the rest of us if there was ever a victory of international socialism over Amerika.
American leftists, like their more extreme counterparts in other parts of the world, are doomed to lose because they:
1. base their logic thinking on self-hate;
2. speak only to the weakest part of all human nature -- the wah-boohoo-poor-me-I'm-the-victim part;
3. are too engulfed in and obssessed with blaming everyone else but themselves for their unhappiness;
4. are too young (This speaks to the young lefties.) to know how wrong they are about life, human history and human nature;
5. are too morally weak (This speaks to the older lefties.) to do anything else with their politics besides blame others and fight for a socialist utopia.
Utopia, übrigens, means "no-where" in Greek.
Leftists might learn something basic about MANY, many Americans:
Das stimmt!
This illustrates a point I've often made. The term "right-wing" means extremely different things in Europe and the US. In Europe, all political points of view are "left-wing" by American standards. The European left-wing is international socialists, while their right-wing are nationalist socialists. The American "right-wing" philosophy of limited government individualism doesn't appear at all in Europe. Both sides of the Atlantic use a "left-wing/right-wing" axis to measure their political differences, but it isn't the same axis in both places. In fact, I believe the US axis is actually orthogonal to the European one (The entire European polity, regardless of their position on the European axis, are left-wing on the American axis).
