You are so right. When I read your post I was so shocked I spilled my glass of fluoridated water all over Obama's original Kenyan birth certificate!

BEST ....POST....EVER (well, at least today, it made my night.)

Your refusal to answer the other questions has been noted.

Well I was at work and can only answer so many questions on an Iphone. Although your ignorance is dually noted

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):
Yes or no - Is Islamism (now that you know what Islamism is as opposed to Islam) is the main motivator for unknown thousands of people to try to kill westerners in general, preferably Americans?

It's the religion, you can't hide the fact that they constantly use the phrase "holy war" and "Jihad" which is the same thing. They kill in the name of their religion, not only their religion, but mostly for their religion.

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):
Yes or no - Are mountain men as much of a 'clear and present danger' (to borrow a phrase) to Americans as Islamist terrorists?

Yes I believe they are. People never thought those "mountain men" in Afghanistan could pose a big threat. But then 9/11 happened and now everybody is more awake to the danger. As I said, it's gonna take bloodshed by Americans in order for you to see the danger. I hate to say it, but it's true.

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):

How often have they acted on their threats?

Not very often. But they're closer to home, so the authorities discover their plots a lot easier

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):

How many have they killed in the past decade?

See above statement

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):
Of those that have done something bad, how many have not been caught and are still running around?

No idea

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):
How many have Islamists killed?

Here's a question for your question. How many have Islamists killed in this country SINCE 9/11, since we became more aware through bloodshed on 9/11?

Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 44):
How many of those guys running around?

Blame it on the ineptitude of gov't.

How can a thread about an oil spill turn into an Islam-bashing one?

Did you listen to anything else she said?

Did you?

Quoting seb146 (Reply 47):
This will, as she pointed out, add fuel to the fire of people with brown skin who worship Allah.

And she then spent about 3 minutes talking about how White right-wing nut jobs should be the real focus of terror investigations, never mind that it adds fuel to the fire of normal, conservative, Christians that MSNBC has been demonizing lately.

I think most people have seen this for what it is: some whackjob who was making a political, rather than religious, statement.

There is the problem. I made it quite clear that the problem is Islamism, not Islam.

What is the connection between oil spill and Islamism?  


Oh, I see. Oil -> Middle East -> Islam

But you can't blame people for wondering "who does it benefit?" when such an unusual accident happens.

You can blame people for airing such views on a national news channel with absolutely no evidence to back it up. Since TV doesn't have footnotes, even the few viewers with any cognitive skills remaining have trouble separating stuff with legitimate sources from absolute schlock.

You have to admit that the thought had to cross your mind that maybe there was something fishy about, just a week or two after Obama announces a policy of allowing offshore drilling (which we all know was a political maneuver which he really does not want), possibly the worst offshore rig accident ever takes place. Amazing coincidence. And that doesn't mean that Obama was behind it - it could have been Greenpeace, Earth First or some other group, who never intended to hurt anyone but simply poison people's appetite for drilling.

Having read something about the buildup to the accident, it's looking more and more like this was a "perfect storm" situation of one failure leading to other failures that ended up with the rig sinking. No malice, just a terrible accident. But you can't blame people for wondering "who does it benefit?" when such an unusual accident happens.

Still, an amazing coincidence.

Nothin amazing

Just an accident which possibly could have been prevented if a proper BOP (Blow out preventor) had been installed.

I was wondering that myself, last night. It needs to be closed because it's way off topic at this point.

It needs to be closed because it was idiotic from the beginning.

This thread was about media sensationalism from the start, not an oil spill.
