- Surely Al Qaeda can't be winning the war in Mali because your hero President Obama the US commander-in-chief campaigned mere weeks ago in large part on the claim that he had decimated Al Qaeda and reduced it to irrelevance.

- Or are you saying as I have said before that your hero BO is a stone cold liar and that Al Qaeda is actually making a rapid and dangerous comeback in various parts of the ME and Africa? If you are, surely that is a prima facie case of racism on your part because I have learned the hard way that any criticism of Obama no matter how soundly based on facts adn reason is, ipso facto, racist at least in the eyes of your fellow loony lefties!

- As to Al Jazeera, they are in the tank for Al Qaeda and would claim that the terrorist organization is decisively winning the war in Mali whether they actually were or not.

- In truth, it is premature for either side to claim victory and we shall have to wait and see how significant the new military assistance from France and Britain is over the next few weeks before we can properly assess the direction of the war.

- In any case, what I wrote was a comic piece and if you weren't one of the most tightly wound lefty loons here without a scintilla of humour then you would treat it as such and either laugh alone with others or ignore it.

- Instead I get a pious and naive lecture from you about Al Jazeera which clearly shows that you are clueless about that organization and the vile Muslim dictatorship that owns and controls it.



- Stop worshipping your global warming hero Gore long enough to EDUCATE YOURSELF about Al Jazeera and its owners by reading this article from the Wall Street Journal:
An Inconvenient Truth: Al Gore Sells Current TV to the Emir Of Fossil Fuels

An Inconvenient Truth Al Gore Sells Current TV to the Emir Of Fossil Fuels


Late last week it was announced that former Vice President Al Gore struck a deal to sell his television network, Current TV, to the Qatar-based network Al Jazeera. Despite the red flags that such a deal spawns, many in the media failed to explore the crucial elements that surround the sale, and decided to focus on Glenn Beck's rebuffed offer to buy the network instead.
Gore's decision to sell the network, alone, raises questions concerning the sincerity of his self-proclaimed ideologies. Especially when considering to whom he sold the company, Gore’s moral servitude can be questioned as well.
Al Jazeera, which was launched in 1996, is headquartered in Doha, Qatar and is funded by the Qatari government — more specifically, the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Since its inception, Al Jazeera has received criticism for its critical coverage of U.S. and Israel policies.
As described by the U.S. State Department, Qatar's "customs, laws and practices" are founded by "Islamic beliefs and tribal traditions," also known as Sharia Law. Of which, is a religious practice that is widely contested and seen as void of human rights, especially women's rights.
Qatar is also extremely homophobic, and the U.S. State Department has outlined the severity of the situation, stating that "homosexual activity is considered to be a criminal offense, and those convicted may be sentenced to lashings, a prison sentence, and/or deportation." Views that seem to heavily contradict the video that Gore released a few years back, which addressed and supported gay rights.
The country has even provided funding to known terrorist groups. Most recently, during a visit to the Gaza Strip, Emir Al-Thani pledged $400 million to the terrorist organization Hamas, which is responsible for countless terrorist attacks, especially in Israel.
Possibly the most surprising part of the whole ordeal, however, is the fact that Qatar is one of the world's largest exporters of oil, and is the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. And anyone who has heard Al Gore's name outside of this article knows that he's a staunch defender of the environment and finds oil repulsive at best. The sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera is an inconvenient truth indeed.
Gore's pro-environment agenda is so extreme that he's even compared the global warming strife to the civil rights movement and has advocated for "fertility management" as a means of curbing the world's population and ultimately pollution.
Of course, when a $500 million deal is involved, disregarding the actions of your sugar daddy may be an easier task to overcome than one may think, even if it means overlooking the rights of many, selling out your beliefs, and parting ways dignity

- What is it that causes lefties here like karrie to be so uptight, humourless and nasty when they respond to one of my posts and others like the moronic jlm to become obsessed and to stalk me around the board 24/7? Is it ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care. In any case, why don't they just act like adults and STFU, put me on ignore, and not spoil things for the discerning few who do enjoy my stuff?


arrogant son of a bitch, isn't he......

I didn't realize that you were a "leftie" Karrie..... news to you too?

Not sure what response is being looked for here. A laugh at the racist jokes. Or a serious discussion about the issue of media bias, what with it being in a political forum and not the joke one.

But, since it's in politics...

Al Jazeera is no worse than any other media outlet. They have their slant and their bias based on who comprises it. I suppose if you foam at the mouth over who comprises it, you're REALLY going to hate the network. If you get the fact that they are people like everyone else, then you're not going to care overly. Just like I don't care overly about Fox, CNN, CBC, BBC, etc. But some people LOATHE some of them, based on their political bent.

Ah well.... methinks it's apt for Loc to drag goats into the whole mess, as it just reads like a bunch of bleating.

If teddy write it you know it is not to be taken seriously. But this one is certainly much funnier than the usual rightwingnut drivel he dredges up from various hate sites.

Speaking of accreditation, below is blogger Lactose the Intolerant's post on nukingpolitics.com. Proper accreditation would include the URL. There are quite a few people posting on the internet with handles including the word Lactose...

Mali rebels advance despite French airstrikes - Africa - Al Jazeera English


Compare that with the FoxNews version of the story:
US military preparing to support French forces in Mali | Fox News

If all you knew was what Fox News reported about that conflict, you wouldn't know much.

Maybe the reason why no one found it funny, Teddy, is that... it wasn't? I'm not left (but I'm sure you'll accuse me of such anyway) but things like My Big Fat Gay Gypsy Stoning, The Biggest Honor Killing Loser, Master Dirty Bomb Maker, How I Stoned Your Mother and Emergency Female Circumcision Ward are NOT something to even be joked about. Even if a mainstream comedian had said anything like this, I would have been disgusted and seeing as your just some Joe Schmuck from WhereverLand, you haven't a hope in hell of being funny.

Honestly something like this and you thinking it's somehow funny would to me show just how ignorant, vile, insensitive, biggoted and hateful you are, and that's just being mild.

More to the topic of Gore selling off to al Jazeera, I personally see it as biased as any other news media; actually up there as the Arabic equivalent to Fox. There might be some truth to things - after all, their people are in the area and get to see the before and aftermath likely sooner than foreign correspondents - but for the most part, it's all out to make the US/The West/Jews out to be the Big Evil.

This board has given you tons of feedback on what it is that is causing such nasty replies (because despite not caring, you sure keep asking). Your response to that feedback has been to continue heaping scorn and insults upon people, instead of taking said feedback seriously.

And the result has been that you've wound yourself up so badly that you keep threatening to leave.

Honestly, stop peppering every OP and every post subsequent with insults, and you might that people respond less antagonistically.

I didn't realize that you were a "leftie" Karrie..... news to you too?

Well, I am definitely to Teddy's left and that seems to be what counts.

Speaking of accreditation,...



Now THAT is some interesting content. hmm.

Did he really claim that? Or is it more like YOU claiming he claimed that?

- Or are you saying as I have said before that your hero BO is a stone cold liar
He's a politician. What did you expect?
and that Al Qaeda is actually making a rapid and dangerous comeback in various parts of the ME and Africa?
Evidence?
If you are, surely that is a prima facie case of racism on your part because I have learned the hard way that any criticism of Obama no matter how soundly based on facts adn reason
Your facts or real facts? Reason? From a raving, circle flying, extremist, rightwing, loony like you? Shirley, you jest.

- As to Al Jazeera, they are in the tank for Al Qaeda and would claim that the terrorist organization is decisively winning the war in Mali whether they actually were or not.
Evidence?

- In truth, it is premature for either side to claim victory and we shall have to wait and see how significant the new military assistance from France and Britain is over the next few weeks before we can properly assess the direction of the war.
We? You some sort of authority on saying how world politics is going? lmao

- In any case, what I wrote was a comic piece and if you weren't one of the most tightly wound lefty loons here without a scintilla of humour then you would treat it as such and either laugh alone with others or ignore it.
I laughed but it wasn't with you: it was about you.

- Instead I get a pious and naive lecture from you about Al Jazeera which clearly shows that you are clueless about that organization and the vile Muslim dictatorship that owns and controls it.
Oh, then please do set us all straight about alJazeera, oh, Great Klownish!



Al Jazeera, which was launched in 1996, is headquartered in Doha, Qatar and is funded by the Qatari government — more specifically, the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Since its inception, Al Jazeera has received criticism for its critical coverage of U.S. and Israel policies.
Yeah, sorry if the whole planet doesn't agree 24/7 with the USA on 100% of everything. Ain't likely ever going to happen either. Tghere's lots of good about the States but it isn't exactly without its faults either. I know that must be tough info for you to swallow, but try anyway.
As described by the U.S. State Department, Qatar's "customs, laws and practices" are founded by "Islamic beliefs and tribal traditions," also known as Sharia Law. Of which, is a religious practice that is widely contested and seen as void of human rights, especially women's rights.
So? That's the opinion of the US State Dept. It ain't news. That's no evidence that alJazeera is even remotely influenced by religion when it does the news. I wouldn't be surprised, though.
Qatar is also extremely homophobic, and the U.S. State Department has outlined the severity of the situation, stating that "homosexual activity is considered to be a criminal offense, and those convicted may be sentenced to lashings, a prison sentence, and/or deportation." Views that seem to heavily contradict the video that Gore released a few years back, which addressed and supported gay rights.
Also not news. But either way, Gore is Gore; just another dingbat rich politician.
The country has even provided funding to known terrorist groups. Most recently, during a visit to the Gaza Strip, Emir Al-Thani pledged $400 million to the terrorist organization Hamas, which is responsible for countless terrorist attacks, especially in Israel.
Possibly the most surprising part of the whole ordeal, however, is the fact that Qatar is one of the world's largest exporters of oil, and is the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. And anyone who has heard Al Gore's name outside of this article knows that he's a staunch defender of the environment and finds oil repulsive at best. The sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera is an inconvenient truth indeed.
So? What does that have to do with alJazeera?
Gore's pro-environment agenda is so extreme that he's even compared the global warming strife to the civil rights movement and has advocated for "fertility management" as a means of curbing the world's population and ultimately pollution.
Of course, when a $500 million deal is involved, disregarding the actions of your sugar daddy may be an easier task to overcome than one may think, even if it means overlooking the rights of many, selling out your beliefs, and parting ways dignity
lol All that just to avoid providing any evidence that alJazeera doesn't cover the news accurately? lol
You may have roiled the blood of some people here, Ted, but to me, you're just another verbiose, paranoid, extremist, raving wingnut. Good for an occasional laugh at best.

Al Jazeera typically let's both sides have their say and leaves it up to you the viewer to make up your mind. that's called reporting. You've probably never tuned into a real news source, so I understand why you might be ignorant of how real news works.
