The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)

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.

I'm gonna have my cat read this thread and then hopefully she explain it to me.

Let me know if she reminds you of how a cat arches its back and puffs up because it's scared :)

I'm not sure about Poobah, but the former wound up migrating to Wild Turkeys.

One of the people I had real problems with was Chemist_Geek.

I can usually have civil discussions with anyone-even if I disagree with their point of view-but that guy had such an oppressively obnoxious personality-and genuinely ill-tempered attitude-that it wasn't even worth it to engage him in debate.

This coming from someone whose sole contribution has been to post links-repeatedly-to articles and op-eds that have already been posted-and debated-ad infinitum.

These threads usually break down after a couple of hundred posts....to who knows where:-)

Don't strain yourself there, buddy.

You might actually have something witty to add one of these days, and then where would we be?

"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."

"Unlawful"?? Are you quoting ME?? Don't think so, bro. YOU are the one doing the "assuming."

Apparently you chose to ignore my actual quote (post #855):

" My guess is Abizaid (as an Arab-American) was asked indirectly by the CiC to give his 'opinion' on the matter..."

"and let's not forget hchutch and poohbah. Of course, since those two opus'ed their FROBL comrades have had to work harder."

Lol, and probably reincarnated back into circulation at FR doing what they did best.

"often they have some minority axe to grind"

"Often" as in ALL-THE-TIME."

I was a Freeper before I was a talk host. Thank you much, and honestly, thank all of you who -- regardless of your position on the port deal -- are patriots who only want what's best for the country. Really, really, have to go now ... God bless.

God bless YOU, Mark. I am so thankful for all that you do--which you do so well--every single day. I admire you greatly.

Don't pay no nevermind to the unhappy Terminally Shrill. ;-)

"NO MORE COWBELL! (Isn't there a law against COWBELL yet?)"

NEVER enough cowbell.

[JRios1968]

That's...what I...am talkin'...about!

[JRios1968]

MORE COWBELL!!!

[Miss Behave]

LOL. And you got my main man's cadence down pat.

Muuaaaaah, J.

[Miss Behave]

OMG. When I hit the post icon on my last post to you, LOOK WHAT I CAME BACK TO, ALL THE WAY ACROSS MY SCREEN!

OK, I tinked.

[JRios1968]

You what?! LOL

[Miss Behave]

Not AGAIN. OMG, J, YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY.

I kiss your feet. :-)

[JRios1968]

No need to do that! :)
