The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)
The Emirates Economist | 03/12/06 | bayourant

Posted on 03/12/2006 7:51:11 PM PST by bayourant

Did Race play a role in the Port Deal discussions? The very charge is met by the likes of Sean Hannity and others with Righteous Indigination. In fact, to mention it makes you the true problem. Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge. The below cartoons may be an issue now in the UAE. They are not cartoons about that ole darn prophet however. THere will be no boycotts over these but remember still they dont help things. The cartoonist just give us what we want sometimes. From MSNBC the following cartoon. There were many others that through the glory of the net are available to all.

"Thank you for bothering to care what we say and think here, Mark...
too many with a chance to speak to the masses.. dismiss us...
thank you!"

You are undoubtedly a sincere person, but would you let up on the trying to curry favor kick you've been on every since holdonow gave you a compliment. You've been overreacting ever since. How about talking about the subject at hand. Thanks.

That's why I'd almost end his career over this...he's over the line and should not have given any commentary on the subject. Since you can't trust the press with a simple quote, I might go easy this time, but certainly be looking for his replacement.

"I'm still trying (for the life of me) to figure out why Abizaid would come out for or opposed...seems to compromise his leadership abilitiy in the field."

Not only were his "bigots" remarks NO good for morale, it was egregious in that it was cheap political lobbying by the General. The kind of stunt I'd have expected from Bill Clinton.

But let's put it THIS way...

It wasn't an accident. And it wasn't spontaneous.

It was ordered and cleared from the top.

Unbelievably.

For me this is kind of like when they discover the Wizard of Oz is just some bozo maiking himself look big behind a machine. Say it ain't true!

No....and that is why tonight has been one of the most fun nights I can remember.

I am just loving the heck out of having Mark take the time out of his life...to come here and have this debate.

I know he came here to clear the record about what bayourant said...but, we were able to have a great discussion forum.

This does NOT happen often...so enjoy it!

I'm a newbie and I can tell you I had no idea what was going on. It was interesting to say the least. Does this happen often?

No. Only a few celebrities have the constitution it takes to hang with the regular folk. In physics, it was Feynman. In politics, it's Levin.

Indeed...if he's going to make such POLITICAL commentary while still wearing the uniform, he needs to join the long line of those who were 86'd by the Klintoons for saying a lot less.

You're reaching...bayourant had it wrong. Trying to mitigate and excuse the poster's stupidity is asinine. He/ she was wrong..deal with it.

Those of us who know Mark, realize that it would be completely out of character for him to say something like that about Gen Abizaid...

"The vast majority of ad hominem remarks, insults, and outright lies, came from the antis"

Well I consider your answer to me in post #336 "Go read the threads that contain the FACTS!" (your caps) a sly ad hominem attack.

I and others who wanted the port deal nixed have "the FACTS!" We just don't agree with you.

I don't think that Feingold thinks he has to PROVE anything...

I am sure that he comes from the school that teaches if you accuse someone long enough of wrongdoing, you can convince the multitudes it was wrong!!

It seems to work more often than not...especially in the dem party.

It wasn't racism..it was Buchananism....pure Xenophobia!

Coupled with a good measure of ignorance and a Democrat Party that played the issue like a fiddle!
