Did anyone happen to see the segment of 'America Remembers' featuring James Zogby and John McCain between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m.? If so, I can imagine you are as FURIOUS as I am right at the moment! Brokaw was speaking with a gentleman who had lost in wife in the World Trade Center holocaust last September 11th. He was angry with the "silence = consent" attitude of the Muslim community toward the murder of over 3,000 Amercans at this time last year. He cited a poll indicating that "90% of Muslims blame America" for creating the international climate of tension that led to this act of terror. He further expressed his outrage over reports that Palestinians/Muslims/Arabs had been dancing in the streets and handing out candy in celebration of what Osama and his depraved minions had carried out in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. In addition, he mentioned that he had friends who had witnessed this in Patterson, New Jersey; among other locations. Having seen the pictures myself, I flew into a rage when I heard James Zogby (representing the Arab-American Institute) debunk these stories as "urban legends". He told the studio audience that these reports were NOT TRUE! Mr. Zogby, you are a lying b*stard, and you know it. To imply that this recent widower is laboring under the delusion of an "urban legend" when those of us who have seen actual photos of these celebrations is an unspeakable outrage. Did anyone else see this? Unbelievable!
A civilized society does not raise psychotics onto pedestals the way the Palestinians have done with Osama.
I didn't see Zogby's statement, but I'd bet my next paycheck that it was clintoned in such a way that he gave the impression that all reports of Muslim celebrations were false, but if he were challenged he could claim that he only meant reports of celebrations in the US.
Maybe he somehow found out how much fraud the Democrats were going to attempt.
"City E-mail Endorses Terrorism "
On September 12, almost exactly 24 hours after terrorists slammed hijacked jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, an accountant in the Houston city controller's office sat at his keyboard and typed a gloating e-mail to a friend in the city legal department."What's your take on this bombing?" asked the sender, a slight 30-year-old man of Pakistani descent. He went on to offer his view:
"I say it's great and wonderful and probably the best thing I've seen in my life.
"The world got what it deserved.
"Persons are rotten, evil, and thrash [sic] so this is what happens when they act like that and I hope a full scale war breaks out over this."
Any evidence of such behavior betrays the lie that all muslims are peaceful. It does not justify mob violence against such celebrators. When arab interest group decry their portrayal in the media, they don't deny the homocidal bombers (they defend the action as being the "only weapon" these people have).
Sometimes it is in the phrasing of the summary statement of the rumor (a different word here or there and the statement can shift from (Green)True to (Red)False or (Yellow)False with some truth or (grey)Unsubstantiated).
Here's an article, I could site some other observed examples:
Alec Baldwin on Conan O'Brien's Late Night show: "If we were in other countries," he shouted, "we would all right now, all of us together—all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! Wait! . . . I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children! We would kill their families!"
Sounded to me like he was trying to incite violence.
