''When you think about it, the US has more in common with their enemies then they realize.''
Correction if you please: that statement is apropos for the right wing Obama haters on this forum and elsewhere. But not in general for the entire country.
I understand what you're saying, but let's stop beating around the bush...... Beck and others like him who spout off propaganda and hatred like those in the Al'Q might only represent one side of the US population and thus, not everybody in the US....... but do you seriously think people in the Al'Q and Taliban see it that way?
No..... they see Americans screaming and shouting propaganda, hatred and the wiping out of not just them, but the entire Muslim culture in one way or another.
...... Just as Americans see Al'Q and Taliban shouting propaganda, hatred and the wiping out of not just Republicans, but the entire American culture.
It's not the entire US population doing all of this..... just as it's not the entire Muslim population doing all of this....... but does Propaganda see the difference?
No.... you're either guilty by action or guilty by association of those acting.
While people like Beck are allowed to continue their hatred and spreading of ignorance, people looking in from the outside will see these people gaining a lot of support and believing his crap and thus, gives the impression that either the majority or all of the population supports him and believes what he says...... just like how when many in the US see a video or hear an audio recording from an Al'Q or Taliban leading wing nut spreading their own hatred and ignorance and riling up their listeners, they see these Al'Q and Taliban leaders gain support and followers, so many assume the majority or most Muslims believe or follow what they say...... even though in both cases it's usually only the minority of the population that follows these clowns..... Not the Majority or all.
The problem is that whoever screams the loudest and makes the biggest scene gets the most attention...... so these people in the Al'Q and Taliban, along with their supporters only see people like Bush and Beck spitting hatred...... meanwhile most in the US see Al'Q, Taliban and their supporters spitting hatred too.
Everybody else in the middle.... US citizens with brains and reason and moderate Muslims who don't take their religion as hard-line or literal as the extremists..... all seem to take a back seat while these extremists idiots on both sides make the decisions and take the actions that decide the fate of everybody else..... because they can pump their chests bigger and they can scream louder then the other.
And their moronic followers don't want to actually think..... they're just frustrated and angry with their lives and need someone to take the blame for their problems...... they don't want to think, they just want to follow someone just as angry as they are, whom they can relate to and can tell them what to do...... simply because while on both sides, these people may claim they believe in what they're trying to defend, but in reality, both sides have lost all perspective of what they're trying to defend, don't understand what they're defending and only understand tit for tat and only understand that the people they learned to hate will never change and will always hate them back in an equal fashion.
And when it gets like this, the only solution people like this understand is "It's either us or them."
