Racing circuit was angered by crew visiting Martinsville track for story

NBC tried to dispel rumors that it was investigating NASCAR for a segment on anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States, saying the focus of the story will be a widespread look across the country.

"Dateline is not planning a story about NASCAR," the network said in a release Thursday. "We are following up on a recent poll and other articles indicating an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. ... The NASCAR race at Martinsville was a stop we have made in our research on this story, which may take us across the country."

[Ditto]

Here's one for them. Get a couple of "Moslem looking" fellows dressed in bulky, long coats, sweating profusely and turn them loose at Dateline HQ.

Or maybe send them to one of those star-studded performances of The Vagina Monologues"

LOL..........well done!

I'd like to see "Dateline" follow a group of Hasidic Jews around Fairlane Mall in Dearborn.

That would be good to see. How about someone in a military uniform walking around a liberal city or college town?

[Howlin]

Nobody thought they were doing a story on NASCAR and NBC knows it.

Exactly right; they're trying justify what they did by changing the FOCUS.

They're just trolling for racists and they assumed (from their lofty Manhattan studios) that a NASCAR race would be just the place to find some.

I would have paid big bucks to hear THAT discussion, wouldn't you?

They could have saved the airfare and looked in their own company cafeteria.

Only if you're looking for bigots in regards to the rest of the world outside Manhattan.

Really, the last time I was in Fairlane Mall it seemed like the whole place was 'turfed out' by roving gangs of arab toughs.

They're just trolling for racists and they assumed (from their lofty Manhattan studios) that a NASCAR race would be just the place to find some.

That's really funny. They know absolutely nothing about NASCAR fans.

[Ole Okie]

BE NICE!
DATELINE NBC
STING OPERATION IN PROGRESS

GIVE 'EM THAT GOOD OLD SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
AND OFFER 'EM A BUD.

NASCAR fans didn't bite but I know what NBC's problem is,

they've got to rig 'em up with some of those bomb belts like they did the gas tanks on those GM trucks if they want to get the reaction they are looking for.

[Wilhelm Tell]

You will never see Dateline do an expose on mosques in America that preach terrorism.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Better yet why don't we get four guys in jeans, tank tops and ball caps with NASCAR logo's and have them show up at a country club in the Hampton's and see what kind of looks and treatment they are given.

My thoughts exactly!

There ain't a whole lot of Anglo-Saxon solidartity across class and political lines, is there?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Unfortunately, NASCAR fans may still be smeared by NBC if enough agents provocateurs are planted on the next try.

I propose that the next NASCAR event be liberally decked out in Israeli flags and pictures of prominent Gedolim. Let NBC handle that.

Hmmm. I just thought of something: "Hebrew for NASCAR fans!"
