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.

Today there are more UKian people who believe in Allah than attend the Anglican church on Sunday.

So, don't believe "their God" didn't tell them to attack us.

In the scheme of thing's.....

Giving credit where credit is due, I did see you on another thread, urging to throw the bums out! Gave me pause, LOL! I thought, no way Howlin said that, but sure 'nough, there it was. Blackbird.

I think this was more a point

For a point, it was dull and blunt.

Interesting thought ~ last election "W" did lose Arabs in the United States. He also lost most Moslems, in general, but he picked up the Hindus and Sikhs.

Just ask the loudmouths at CAIR how Arabs and Moslems in this country voted in 2004 ~ they'll tell you.

Then, follow that up with a question about what they think now that Chucky Schumer and his running dog lackeys in the Democrat party have actively campaigned against an Arab-owned small business venture ~ and that based on the idea that Arabs are all "scum".

Might be interesting to see where the Arab and Moslem votes in the US are going to go the next time.

"How naieve of everybody. He was ORDERED to say what he said."

I'm sure the CiC gave Abizaid the courtesy of first asking how he felt about giving his opinion in public.

The ploy worked to absolute imperfection.

Abizaid distorted reality, and the President used his commanding General at the expense of compromising on BOTH their respective integrity.

Not really ~ we saw the same thing done at the Thomas hearings. The Dems really don't know how to handle it when someone complains about their racism.

Well, assuming Muslim Arabs by and large anti-America to BEGIN with, assume they are in the Dem's pocket ANYWAY....

OTOH, Arab Christians may be a different story, but who knows.

Arab Christians live predominantly in Central Indiana and Central Tennessee. There are some celebrities who live elsewhere.

I'd guess that's why they vote Republican almost every single time.

Since you seem to be a Levin expert, can you explain or justify without leaving the bounds of credulity, why Levin lumped me in with bayourant as someone who uses FR to repeatedly lie?

I got all night.

No, not really. Elitist Democrat politicians arrogantly believe themselves and their friends to constitute a superior caste which provides true leadership to the lower castes, and those are blacks, Arabs (and other "brown peoples" as they would describe them), the proletariat, minorities and women.

What these Dems cannot deal with is when one of the lower caste individuals jumps the reservation and demonstrates that they, the Dems, are racial bigots.

Dem hatred for others is not an "apples and oranges" sort of thing ~ it's all fairly constant.

Frankly, I don't care to toe their line and put up with that cr*p.

Tell me, just what part of the statement above is accurate?

This shouldn't be a difficult question to answer, especially since you "got all night," therefore, presumably have many hours to contemplate it.

The general being "great".

I'm gonna guess that the part about turning him (Levin) off was also accurate.

Aside from that.

I don't believe he was actually listening to the Mark Levin Show any more than I trust his assertion that he lives in Dubai.

"but the WH was THAT desperate to put him in that awkward position,"

If you assume what Gen Abazaid said was unlawful...and if you assume the Whitehouse told him to say it...then the Whitehouse gave him an unlawful order which he is obligated not to follow. Fortunately, I think both your assumptions are wrong.
