Yeah, there's been a lot of dup posts today!


Oh no, if the UAE owns a MSM entity here in the US, they could write anti-American, anti-patriotic pieces, undermine the President at every turn, and make two-faced comments about supporting the troops, and then, making their jobs harder at the same time!!

Oh, wait. Nevermind, that's what the MSM already does.

Corkery outlined who is the front man in this deal, and who is doing the lobbying and buying for Dubai. This is what he wrote: “The Yank partner of the Dubai Investment Group is quite a well-known name. He is a big-time Democratic contributor and grocery store magnate, Ron Burkle of Beverly Hills. Burkle’s bidding entity is called the Yucaipa Cos.

Burkle is Clinton's bag man

Bill Clinton and the crown prince of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, got together at the graduation ceremony of the American University in Dubai in 2002.

From a Daily News link.

Nothing could make them more of the enemy within than they already are, not even being bought by North Korea!

“Yucaipa’s chief marketing guy is Bill Clinton. Burkle pays Clinton $10 million a year for his services—which are mainly to drum up money in Dubai. Bill flies to Dubai so often on Burkle’s 757 that he calls it “Air Ron.” Clinton, of course, has lately been defending the Dubai Ports deal, while his wife opposes it. Oh, and also on the Yucaipa Cos board is the Rev. Jesse Jackson.”


Isn't it interesting that we almost never hear about these kinds of relationships and connections on the Dem side of the aisle via Mikey Moore and his ilk or the lamestream media? Instead all we hear is "Bush/Carlyle Group!" "Cheney/Halliburton!" "Bush/Prince Bandar!"

Shouldn't the unbiased, impartial, truth-seeking (ha) LSM be letting the American public know about all of it? I know, dumb question.

If the UAE buys the chain, what will change?

IMHO Knight-Ridder didn't publish the cartoons out of fear, and they won't publish them in the future for the same reason. Or for that matter anything that might offend anyone who might come after them. So, who cares?

All that chomping at the bit to fight for freedom of speech appears to be a fraud. Let the UAE have 'em.
