"Islamophobia"? I guess we're down to desperation time.

Disagree with something now days and it's the old, pull the racist card out of the hat trick.

"And the UAE is a friend."

How many of the 9/11 hijackers came from the UAE? The unelected dictatorship that runs their country may be our "friend".. but that doesn't mean that the managers and employees hired by DPW will be our "friends"... any more than the banking employees that laundered al-Qaeda money.

"Disagree with something now days and it's the old, pull the racist card out of the hat trick."

Isn't that the truth? The deal supporters are learning from the Democrat playbook.

Yep, chapter and verse.

So, the UAE being an Islamic Country has nothing to do with your opposition to the deal?

I hope you are wearing your "iron underwear". The howling masses will say "Don't tell us what we don't want to know".

[dead]

Phobia refers to an irrational fear.

You think being wary of islamics is irrational at this point in our history?

[Mulch]

Its a shame, Goebbels didn't realize that to fend off critics of mass slaughter he could have just coin the term, "Naziphobe". Would have saved him allot of time and effort in his propaganda campaign.

I am not opposed to the UAE deal; however, what's wrong with "Islamophobia," and why shouldn't we be experiencing it, judged on what we've seen over the last few years?

I think any Islamic country wanting to do business here should have to prove its bona fides. If all they want to do is make a buck, that's fine, and they can do it here. But our experience has told us that many Muslim countries have other objectives, or are under the gun from forces within them that have other objectives. If we didn't have "Islamophobia," we'd be either too nuts or too stupid to be worthy of hanging onto our society.

Terrorist flying into buildings killing Americans has a tendency for me not to trust them. Carry your own baggage, don't put it off on me.

[pgkdan]

Sad. I thought only 'Rats screamed homophobia, or racist or anything-I'm-for-and-you're-not-o-phobia. Guess not. I guess anyone who can't argue the facts will start calling names. I expected more from Larry Kudlow.

Thats what it seems like. I've never seen the 'race card' played so much, here on FR.

[ Dubai Ports World is not a security threat. And the UAE is a friend. ]

Wrong.. They may be a business partner but they are no Friend..

[Mike Darancette]

The deal supporters are learning from the Democrat playbook.

Since all of the other cards have been dealt and discredited the only card left in the deck to the anti-Bushites is the race card. Their argument is "Arabs Bad".

[sit-rep]

You still did not reply to my response on the other thread when you compared to the nazis with there religious intolerance of the jews...

I responded with "if you had a lick of sense, Hitler brainwashed/convinced his people into thinking they were a master race. The jews were inferior to their(Nazism) strain of being. The jews were considered parasitic to the Nazis. It had very little to do with religion... Just incase you missed it...

Now, here you are again accusing people of hate/bigotry. Why are you making comments, and not replying to those who you call names?
