[OT] Is hate commonplace in the USA???

Sorry guys, I can't keep this one for me!
How can a country like the USA have people like this notorious hater and terrorist supporter express freely on a nation wide media?!? I know this guys does this for money, but that probably makes things worst.
Do people really watch this channel? I can't believe it!

I purposefully duplicate the text here because I certainly do not want to link to the original site!



Missed Opportunity
Wednesday, July 06, 2005
By John Gibson, Fox News

You may have noticed the news out of Singapore Wednesday:

The host city for the 2012 Olympics was picked. New York was out early and that was a big relief to me, personally. I think New York needs a rest from big events. All that security wears on you.

Then it was down to Paris and London. And the Olympic big wigs picked London.

All day long people have been saying to me, "Wasn't it great they didn't pick Paris?" And I've been saying, "No, no, no."

Paris was exactly the right place to pick and the Olympic committee screwed up.

Why? Simple. It would have been a three-week period where we wouldn't have had to worry about terrorism.

First, the French think they are so good at dealing with the Arab world that they would have gone out and paid every terrorist off. And things would have been calm.

Or another way to look at it is the French are already up to their eyeballs in terrorists. The French hide them in miserable slums, out of sight of the rich people in Paris.

So it would have been a treat, actually, to watch the French dealing with the problem of their own homegrown Islamist terrorists living in France already.

What would the French have done about rounding up their own citizens?

Would they have afforded their own terrorists the rights they insist we give the detainees at Gitmo? Not a chance. They'd throw them in the clink, or ship them off to North Africa pronto.

Would they have blocked terrorists at the border with unreasonable search and seizure — precisely what they say we should not do? Of course they would. Anybody looking faintly Arab would have had the gendarmerie on them in a flash.

It would have been a delight to have Parisians worried about security instead of New Yorkers. It would have been exquisite to watch.

But, alas, they picked London. I like the Brits. I like London. I hate to see them going through all this garbage when it would have been just fine in Paris.

C'est la vie. Goes to show the Olympic committee doesn't recognize the perfect opportunity when it presents itself.



The day after he says:
"The bombings in London: This is why I thought the Brits should let the French have the Olympics — let somebody else be worried about guys with backpack bombs for a while."

  • What should we do? Censor him? Should we remove his "inaliable rights"? Should we remove his protection under the Constitution because we don't agree with him?



    Putting up with people like that, and like the liberal crapheads who run around talking about how Bush planned the 9/11 attacks on NYC, is part of being an American.



  • Fox News is an arm of the Bush Administration.



    Gibson's comments are tame compared to what is usually said on that channel.



    There are many Americans who refuse to watch Fox News.



    Please don't think Americans agree with this idiot.



  • Ashid, I see that you have some smart solutions...

    So your prefer to create more problems and wars instead of trying to understand why there are problems? Of course, your are the Good fighting the Evil and have been chosen by God to rule the world. Where have I heard that before?

  • Seems like an opinion piece - do you object to those, or only those that dare criticise France?



    I can't seem to place any posts of yours protesting hateful rhetoric about the USA in your leading newspapers?

  • Not all opinion pieces are the same, Eric. This one praises and promotes terrorism.

    I'm quite sure you are able to see the difference between this and "normal" defaming rhetoric. Well, I hope so at least.

  • Here here, Keith. A very well put response.

  • And I quote you: "How can a country like the USA have people like this notorious hater and terrorist supporter express freely on a nation wide media?!? " Let's see.. "hater" stands out. YOUR words. "terrorist supporter". YOUR words. God bless the US educational system. I *can* read just fine, thank you. The point is you said them, NOT the OpEd piece.



    Let's see, I can remember another time when we went after a terrorist where France *deliberately* blocked us to prevent offending terrorism... The bombing by Reagan of Libya.




  • So, you are fine with a man who says that he'd enjoy seeing other people deal with terrorists?

    You know what dealing with terrorism means, right? You know what terrorists do. Which means you are fine with a man who enjoys seeing others get killed.

  • <sarcasm>Instead of hating Mr. Gibson, why don't you try to understand his problems? Maybe if you must talk to him, you can make him see reason. Perhaps if you would just be a little bit more open-minded and talk to him about his feelings, and maybe give him some money, and maybe browbeat anyone that dares to criticize him, he would stop spreading his message of hate.</sarcasm>

  • Fabrice,



    Get a clue. No, every American is not a pin-headed hatemonger, just as not every Frenchman is a cheese-eating surrender monkey. Once nice thing about the freedoms of speech we enjoy is that it helps the rational folks identify the morons rather quickly.



    Gibson's commentary is so idiotically stupid that I can only assume it's sarcasm. Failed sarcasm, but still sarcasm.



    Seriously, do I need to point out all the stupid things that have come out of de Villepin's mouth and ask if all French are numnuts?
