Well in prepration for the Dubai port deal all day every day Media storm approaching, here is what the Port story is about.
A DNC press release was sent out by Chucky Schumer for the Democrat Senate Election Committee. It is full of rumor, innuendo and guilt by association. A bunch of junk journalists picked up the story and with out checking a SINGLE fact printed the story. A bunch of meat head grandstanding Republicans Congress Critters on Kneepads, read the story and freaked out WITHOUT bothering to find out a single fact.
The Security Agencies, who did all the investigation and background checks were blown off or sneered at by the Democrats, their junk journalists propagandists and Republican Congress critter Media whores. Meanwhile the FACTS of the case are being ignored in order for everyone to gleefully parrot a DEMOCRAT Press release.
HERE is the logical diagram on this story. A company based in UAE is taking over port operations. UAE is an Arab Country. Arabs committed 9-11. Bush is turning Port Security over to the Terrorists! Not ONE fact or logically valid assumption is presented in any of these stories. The fact that the Port Operation company has NO security functions is either willfully or inadvertently left OUT of the story. Instead it is all basically a racist, guilty by accusation and rumor smear job. The people who ACTUALLY know the facts like DHS etc are being laughed at or ignored so supposedly "Conservatives" can gleefully push Democrat Election Campaign propaganda. Simply amazing how willfully ignorant some "Conservatives" are about how the Junk Journalists lie to them. Just like Flush the Koran, Rather Gate, Fitzmus, Downing Street Memo and dozens and dozens of other LIES manufactured by the DNC and fed to the Failed Media, THIS story is a LIE.
Going to have a Hannity thread?? Haven't seen sofaman around today
[...Official Song of the DNC Whatever It Is, I'm Against It By Harry Ruby (music) and Bert Kalmar (lyrics) Performed by Groucho Marx in "Horse Feathers" (1932)...]
That song is fantastic! Where can I get an MP3? It's wonderful. Wasn't Groucho a conservative, pro war kinda guy. Jewish Italian or something. Thank you for the song. I have to find it.
The funny thing was that the "I can't win! I can't win! boo-hoo!" sounded like it was in the same pitch as Rush's regular voice, and not like when he does a high pitched wispy girl's voice. Then I got to thinking that it would be a riot if he started to do impressions of Hillary! like that, more with the voice of a man than a woman. Somebody should.

What conclusions do you think I jumped too? I think you are reading a bit too much into things. Here's the exchange:
"The people who AREN'T necessary aren't working"-- Rush
I know that's Rush's patented tongue-in-cheek, but now that he's alienated over half the audience... --FuddFan
Which half-- the half without a sense of humor?-- RobFromGa
If you read more of my posts on FR you'd know that I have quite a sense of humor. I guess it's a matter of taste.-- FuddFan
I wasn't talking about you having a bad sense of humor, I was talking about the half of the audience that you felt Rush was alienating. Were you alienated? -RobFromGa
LOL! thank you for the replay... I did read it before.. but now that you REPOSTED it all....
(done in my best Marisa Torme' voice from "My Cousin Vinny")
"Oh! I'm sorry, you were GREAT up there. You were, you were."
I nominate Ali to post one for us today....
me too -- Ali -- our hero
no problem...
Rush is a genius. I don't know what I would do without his show. I wanted to shoot myself during the '92 elections. That was Pre Rush for me. All I knew of him was what my uninformed friends toldme... that he was arrogant and yelled a lot. LOL!
A man who taught Christians how to evangelize to Muslims once came to our church. He said, Muslims can't relate to our gentle way of speaking and soft demeaner. It makes us look weak. Muslims shout and wave their arms.
LESSON: We need to shout more, especially if it is the truth.
ISAIAH 42:11: Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
KEDAR is the son or grandson of Ishmael (Isaac's half brother through Hagar). Kedar is mentioned Biblically, and refers to the Arab peoples. Of the decendents of Kedar was the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad.
And we all get to take off once a month with pay! :)
I can't find a Hannity thread...is there one??
I looked out the window and pigs aren't flying. You're serious, I gather. Color me stunned.
No one I've talked to is happy with that deal, and if there's something that makes it a good deal that I/we're not understanding, it's incumbent on the administration to get the talking points out.
I am dead serious .. Chuckie even stunned John Gibson with that comment
I knew that Chuckie and the Dems were jumping on this for a political hit at the President
But I never thought they would ever sing the praises of the "evil" Haliburton ... FOFL!!!
BTW ... I don't like this port deal either
My gut tells me it's a really bad idea
Oh...no, really???
I was reading the Tony Snow thread...because I couldn't find a Hannity thread...and saw that Bahbah had suggested that Halliburton run it...so the dems heads would explode...
NOW, Schmuckie is suggesting that as a GOOD alternative?>
WHOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO...the dems are nuts, aren't they??
I feel the same way.
I was watching Hackett on Hardball. I'm looking out my window, don't see pigs flying, don't see snow falling and I'm not quite sure if Hell has frozen over but one thing I do believe is what you said you saw. Now I have to look to see when it's replayed!
Getting out of this isn't as easy as it seems. I am sure the administration would like to do so, but Dubai has been a pretty good ally in the war, and getting out of this would feed into the anti Arab reputation people like Gore have been spreading around the Middle East. How can you tell them no when Britain has ok'd the deal already?
What a mess! I fault the bureaucrats for being tone deaf and allowing this to go forward without alerting the administration. I also think that since Condi Rice ok'd it (according to what I've heard and that may not be accurate) she has demonstrated that she is also politically tone deaf.
I don't think there is a problem with this, but it causes too much political trouble.
