Did you see #10 and #22 at the other link? You didn't mention those.

My point was made. There have been a far too many anti-ARAB (not anti-Muslim) posts here. I'm sure you can concede that point.

If not, I'll continue to go through this thread because there's a lot more posts that fit the shoe.

“They’re saying, ‘All we’ve done for you guys, all our purchases, we’ll stop it, we’ll just yank it,’” the source said.

This could be a record for posts to an article whose only source is 'unnamed'.

Bogus article.

Colossal waste of time.

Misleading.

Unworthy of Free Republic, IMO.

This thread has led FR discussion today down a primrose path.

Sad.

This thread has led FR discussion today down a primrose path.

This thread has been like the ultimate country song. It had all the requisite elements: name calling, accusation of lies, some very concise posts, some excellent research links, a retread troll (complete with a fresh zot), ganging up, poking fun. Just about everything but an Opus. Sorta like a pick up game of kick the can.

LOL...

And all for 'an unnamed source'...

I don't think there is even one post on this thread where I called anyone stupid. Show it to me. Don't show me a post where I generalized either. Show me where I called a specific poster stupid.

Since Malkin and others linked it and Rush talked about it, I thought it was FR materials. Apparently so did a few others.

Sorry it didn't measure up to your personal standard of thread.

Sure. And the American congress can demonstrate how it can go back on it's word after only 45 days.

What an example to set.....

Has nothing to do with 'my standards'.

Just pointing out that it was a concocted story designed to foment fear and that it was based on an 'unnamed source'.

They were neither going to control or operate a port. They were going to manage, at quite a corporate distance, a few terminals.

Oh, I'm sorry. Ok, so not "Run", "Control", or "Operate"... Got it. Ok, wait, "Manage", that's the one. Sheesh...

Ok, not the "port", just a couple of measly "terminals" at... the "Port" !!

You know, if it's a hot dog stand at the port being run by a company owned by an Arab Sheikdom, it's a security risk. Ok? (Or is that not "informed" enough for you?)

The anonymity of the source was pointed to and acknowleged throughout the early part of the thread.

Interestingly I didn't post it into Breaking News but instead, put it into Front Page. Apparently the mods moved it.

Which I thought was pretty awful...one of the worst examples of moderation I've seen on FR.

There was a thread posted that highlighted the real story: that Dubai had pulled the deal...but whoever was moderating pulled that thread and put this up instead...an article that misleads the reader about the real issues and spins the story in a way that is the most damaging to Republicans.

Just my opinion.

Also one is a dictatorship and the other is a state in a constitutional republic.

Well, he was busy on another thread, posting in his usual smugness.
