The Blame America poll and the Blame America candidate
My second syndicated column this week ties two revealing world polls together — one on the globe’s opinion about who’s to blame for 9/11 and another on the globe’s favorite presidential candidate.
If you need another snort this morning, check out “The World Wants Obama.”

The World Still Blames Us

Al Qaeda’s media relations department must be seething. Or rather, they must be seething beyond the usual Destroy America/Kill the Jews/Behead the Infidels/Convert-or-Die seething that is their second nature. After years of churning out throat-slitting propaganda videos, investing in the finest video editing software and studio sets, and establishing cozy relations with sympathetic international newspapers and global network news channels, the jihadists still don’t get no respect from world opinion.
They are the Rodney al Dangerfields of global mass murderers.
A poll released this week of more than 16,000 people in 17 nations revealed that “majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people in 2001.” A mere 46% of individuals overall said they believed al Qaeda executed the attacks – despite all the back-patting, fist-pumping video productions from AQ’s media arm, as-Sahab, claiming credit.
In 2006, the AQ flacks released tape of Osama bin Laden at an Afghan training camp with several of the 9/11 hijackers. “I ask you to pray for them and to ask God to make them successful, aim their shots well, set their feet strong and strengthen their hearts,” bin Laden urged in the sicko promo. In April, another clip showed irate and aggrieved jihadi leader Ayman al-Zawahiri lambasting Hezbollah for crediting Israel for the 9/11 attacks. “The purpose of this lie is clear — (to suggest) that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it,” he griped.
But to no avail. Maybe this is why FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Adam Yahiye Gadahn, the American-born Muslim convert-turned-al Qaeda publicist, has not been heard from in a while. He’s been falling down on the job. Either that, or those damned 9/11 Truther conspiracy nuts have surpassed the Islamic jihadis’ recruitment efforts on YouTube. Time to hire a new viral violence marketing team.
So, who’s stealing the bin Laden operation’s thunder around the globe and getting all the blame (er, credit) for the September 11 terrorist attacks? The citizens of the world have cast their vote. Seven years after Mohammed Atta, Hani Hanjour, and their Allahu Akbar-screaming team succeeded in slaughtering nearly 3,000 innocent men, women, and children, large numbers of our putative allies in the civilized world are still blaming America and Israel.
“Israel was behind the attacks, said 43 percent of people in Egypt, 31 percent in Jordan and 19 percent in the Palestinian Territories,” the survey found. “The U.S. government was blamed by 36 percent of Turks and 27 percent of Palestinians.” The pollsters noted that no prompting was necessary: “These responses were given spontaneously to an open-ended question that did not offer response options.”
Among our great friends south of the border, Mexico boasted “the second-largest number citing the US government as the perpetrator of 9/11 (30%, after Turkey at 36%). Only 33 percent name al Qaeda.” Which, of course, is no shock to those who remember when the U.S. soccer team was taunted with chants of “Osama! Osama! Osama!” after a match in Guadalajara four years ago; or when the team was booed again in 2005 and plastic bags filled with urine were reportedly tossed on American players.
They hate us. They still really, really hate us. And it is not all about Iraq. As a Mexican soccer fan told the Christian Science Monitor: “‘Every schoolboy knows about 1848. . . . When they robbed our territory,’ referring to when Texas, California and New Mexico were annexed to the U.S. as part of a peace treaty ending the war between the two countries, ‘that was the beginning.’”
Not coincidentally, another world opinion poll was released this week that dovetails with the 9/11 survey. While the global community refuses to unite against al Qaeda as a common enemy to humanity, it has decided on who should be America’s next president. The BBC-commissioned poll named Barack Obama the world’s favorite candidate by an overwhelming margin of four to one. They see in their fellow “citizen of the world” a kindred spirit:
Someone whose former spiritual mentor shares the European elite’s “chickens coming home to roost” schadenfreude. Someone who has promoted the need for “empathy” toward the head-chopping jihadists. Someone who shares their fetishizing of terrorists as poor victims of imperialism in need more “understanding” and “education.” Someone who cynically hawks “Buy American” campaign stickers while courting the “Blame America” Left at home and abroad.
Obama is their man. Never forget.

Michelle, in the interest of defeating the smears on both sides, please correct your post on Obama’s visit to Ground Zero yesterday. The video showing that he spent time with the uniformed fireman and the construction worker has been posted numerous times. That’s what people are objecting to, not the notion that he didn’t shake any hands at all.
I remember well this “blame America” cancer when I was in high school in the late 60s.
In a sophomore history class, we played a Vietnam “game” – I kid you not – where some of us took the American side, and some of us took the Viet Cong side.
Ah, the 60s….
“Fire melting steel? Come on now.”

Just a point about Mexico & their attitude towards the U.S.’ “theft” – “we” WON THE WAR, then PAID them for the land $15,000,000.00 in ~ 1848 – if their corruptocracy had sensibly invested just 1/4 of those funds, imagine how much more pleasant & productive Mexico would be today ……………………..

The reasons to NOT vote for Obama are so vast.
Now add that the world wants to decide who is best to maintain our freedom, then it is abundantly clear Obama is NOT for the USA.
Socialism in Europe = weak defense = dependent populous = dying nations who seek aid and protection from us.
Who will come to their aid, if we too follow the socialism route? Would that be China, Russia and Iran?
Palin/Malkin 2012
Wait. Mexico doesn’t like us? Fine. I’m willing to pay more for gas if we’ll stop using their oil.
And may we please remind our Hispanic neighbors to the south about how the Aztecs and Incas came to learn Spanish?
To paraphrase a comment John Wayne wants once said about American Indians; message to Mexico regarding 1848:
You should have fought harder.
When I read things like this, I believe it is that the media that is mostly responsible for the world’s opinion. The media’s hatred toward President Bush makes them plant the seed of doubt in every event that could reflect a positive image of him. Their goal is to make him look like the bad guy, and unfortunately, they’ve done a good job of it. In turn, they are also the ones who have turned an extremely unqualified presidential nominee into the savior of the world.
Off Topic here:
Biden Released his tax returns. Take a look at his charitable giving. OMG, that is like unbelievably low. 0.4% for 2007
You know who else wants Obama?
High end fashion designers. :lol”
Wish I was surprised by this, but I was in Germany recently and heard this opinion there (and these were nice, reasonably well-educated people).
I think that, considering the fact that Europe and the UK are pretty much circling the bowl politically and culturally, it would be prudent for U.S. voters to consider their opinions and then behave in the exact opposite manner. The truth is, they can hate us all they want, but may of them would come here in a heatbeat given the chance (a state of mind known as ‘jealousy’). And who gives a rat’s fart what Mexico thinks?
What she said.
Superficial Europe wants Obama? And that surprises anyone? Well, he is just like them, and he praises their socialist programs.
As a nation, we are reacting to all of this as if it were true – witness the “Blame America First” crowd here within our own borders. Granite(#2), I was in the Navy during the 60’s and 70’s, and to me, and many other veterans, it wasn’t a game. But, if you say something over and over again, long, enough, people start to believe it.
This is nothing more than the old Soviet Union’s propaganda ploy that has been rehashed for over fifty years. And because, as the old saying goes, “A lie can go around the world a thousand times while the truth is just putting on its’ shoes.”
And there are many in this country who have heard it so many times, they believe it, too. After a while, it is accepted without question that WE as a nation are responsible for all the ills in the world. We are ashamed to hold our heads.
To which I can only say Bullcrap! I am proud of my country and what it has stood for over the past 232 years. We’re not perfect – we’re a work in progress. We may never be perfect, as the Obamessiah and some of our resident trolls seem to want before they will stop blaming America.
Stand up and be PROUD of what we stand for as a country. Be proud of those citizens who care enough for their fellow citizens to volunteer to be the first responders, who put their lives in jeopardy every day so that you and I can live in safety and comfort.
For those of you who may never have read it, or, for that matter, even heard of it, you might want to take a gander at this. Read it through, and then compare Philip Nolan with the “Big O.” Night and day, isn’t it?
God bless America and everything she stands for.
since the world doesn’t like our policies, why don’t we get out of the u.n. and nato, bring our troops home from japan, korea, germany, italy, and quit subsidizing their economies with those paychecks and put them back in the u.s. economy. place the troops every 100 feet along our borders, and problem solved.

That thought process lives on today in things like this… The LEGO company has a free online game that a lot of young kids like to play.
I took a look at that game…you start out playing the side of the humans, who are mining crystals on Mars, and you are encouraged to “Toast those alien invaders!” Then, you are encouraged to play from the other side, as the Martians who are defending their planet from the real “invaders”, the humans.
Do the people at LEGO intend for the game to represent their view of the war in Iraq? Do they see us as “mining” for oil in Iraq? Do they want children to empathize with Al Qaeda’s view that we are the real “invaders”, the “imperialists”, the “crusaders”?
The Martians are “green“, after all.
Given the fervent level of antisemitism currently running through all classes of British society (the Jerusalem Post has some excellent reporting on this topic), they’ve got some nerve trying to sway a U.S. election as a means of cleansing America’s so-called racist past!
The World Still Blames Us?? or US??
I know – picky, picky.
Dear Rest of the World,
STFU!!! This is OUR election. You get no say.
Obama sees the terrorists and rural Americans the same way: as ignorant, economically frustrated people who cling to their guns and religions out of bigotry and fear of change.
I’m sure Europes opinion of us will change as soon as Russia starts conquering small countries again.
And regarding Mexicos opinion, we either need to a) send them all back and seal the border or b) annex them so we have control of all that oil since most of them have at least one relative working here any way. And Congress has already agreed that Mexicos Southern border needs to be secured.
These polls are another important reason not to worry about what other nations think–and to simply act in our best interest when faced with crisis. If the sheep want to get on the boat when it’s time to put out to sea, so be it. If not, no soup for them…come back one year.
My neighbor, who will be voting for The One in November, told me the other day, with a straight face, “Our image is damaged in the world. We need a president that will restore that image.” He is a Navy medical professional. It blew me away.
I wonder if the men storming the beach on June 6, 1944 asked, as their landing craft stopped short of the beach in water over heads, “I hope the French and Germans like us when we’re done?”
Do you think Jimmy Doolittle wondered if the Japanese thought the US was a nice country when he dropped the first bombs on Tokyo proper?
Do you think Truman gave a rat’s a$$ what the polls said when he dropped Fat Man on Nagasaki and Little Boy on Hiroshima? Why do the Japanese now play in the same sandbox with us if we’re so evil? They remember, but have moved ahead as they’ve seen the bigger picture.
Some presidential candidates seem unable to do the same.
Believe me, I knew that.
I agree with your post completely.
God Bless America.
If you can believe it, we used to sing that in grade school, as well as “America” and “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”.
Wish the school “experts” and authorities would get their heads out of their nether regions, and still had kids singing patriotic songs.
I couldn’t find a McCain sticker with the Nautical Star that was big enough – so I made my own:gopdepot
I don’t care if you buy one, but I hope you can do something. (I also hope I don’t get keyed…
)
Great Plan!

That hits the nail on the head. The United States of America has always been a blessed and prosperous nation, and certain other nations have always been jealous of that.
Too few people understand why the USA has been blessed, and what needs to be done to keep America a blessed nation.
Right on!!! BOOOOOOOO world!!!! We hate you, Earth!!!!!!!
“The World Wants Obama”
Does that mean we can sell him on EBay?
So if America is sooo evil, why are people from all ver the world trying to get in? Why don’t we here about people trying to sneak into Cuba?
Red State Skeptic,
I despair of the rest of the world.
From Colin Powell:
Given all the time Obama’s spent campaigning all over the world, should wen’t we expect them to like him more. Meanwhile in the country where he’s actually running for election, he can’t get above 50%.
The reason why dems like to play the citizen of the world card is because they know that the majority of the country can’t stomach what they stand for. Whereas Jordanians and Turks, who have it worse, see democratic policies as an upgrade from their craptastic governments.
No, we need to stay in the UN, we have a veto power. I think we should just simply VETO everything, until countries start to fall in line. Especially any and all requests to spend money or get money from the USA.
Yet none of them ever send back the checks.
That’s cool Alexwest. I would buy one but I don’t like McCain. Palin/McCain….not so bad. McCain/Palin…Puke.

You’re absolutely right! I am so ashamed of myself for having never seen things this clearly before…thank you so much for the painful insight into my own myopic thinking. I feel so self-aware now that I’ve been liberalized! Thank you, thank you!
You’re a tool red state skeptic. As always, the trolls miss the point entirely.
Years ago, my mom and an Australian co-worker were serving a customer in a High End Luxury Store. Both the Aussie and my mom are immigrants of the legal variety, the customer was American. The customer was chatting with them and I guess somehow the topic “why they hate us” came up. My mom and the Australian gave the same answer, “Jealousy.” People are jealous of American power, influence, and wealth. People can’t get over how this upstart country went from being a second-string wilderness to the biggest world power in a few short decades. It drives them nuts.
I say to the world this: better us than a world dominated by Vladimir Putin, the Red Chinese, and Wahabbist Islam.
Oh, and the fact that more Mexicans than Palestinians (!!) are Troofers is further argument still for border enforcement!
As I’ve offered in the past, and no one has taken me up on this, but here it is again:
For all those America haters here who want to leave the United States and forfeit their citizenship, I will pay for your one way ticket.
Any takers?
Speaking of high school and the 60s, there’s a comment that does not disappoint, but that fits right in with what we’re discussing here.
Some adolescents never grow up.
I’ve wondered sometimes what happened to my classmates and schoolmates that started the “underground” newspaper, and to others of their ilk, who joined the “nonconformist” herd of independent minds, in a lame, self-hating attempt to affect sophistication.
Perhaps some of the posts here are clues….
On September 12th, 2008 at 11:41 am,
Fixed that for you sir.
I think Senator Obama and most of the left see the terrorists as justifiably angry with the US. I think you are right about the second part, though.
49 years ago my astute high school speech teach explained to me about world opinion. Because the world is not without major problems, listening to their majority voice is dangerous. If your agree with the majority you are part of the problem. Think for yourself and create new ideas because most of the people are sheep.
God, I loved that teacher!
That simple observation has help me live a creative and successful life.
With a hat tip to “dissfunktional“, I have added the following TRUTH to the ever-growing list:
Truth: In his first year of elected office, as the Member of the Illinois Senate from the 13th district, Barack Hussein Obama was the sole sponsor of SENATE RESOLUTION 90_SR0110, which concluded:
These people don’t hate us. Or our ideals. Or even our flaws and mistakes. They hate that we are a prosperous and influential nation. They want to be like us and they don’t understand why they are not. Or they want our country to be like their countries. If they really hated the U.S. they wouldn’t immigrate, visit, or enroll in our education system. And they wouldn’t be electing individuals who resemble our President in ideology.
Actually, quite a few Cubans go to Mexico – but not to stay there!! When Cubans sneak into Mexico, it’s only a stopover for coming to the evil, Satanic US of A:
The “world” wanted Kerry, too. And that was what did him in. America does not want to be socialist Europe. Our ancestors left Europe for a reason.
They aren’t normal you know.
There is a curious thing about serial killers…and I think I can safely say that Al Qaeda and their cronies falls under that description and title.
They do not appreciate others taking credit for what they have done, nor do they appreciate not getting full acknowledgment or recognition for what they have done.
It tends to make them angry and commit more murders until such time as they get the credit they feel entitled to.
Well, I did mean to live and prosper in Mexico…:)
But he made up for it by given taxpayer money to all the charity case’s. So there!

Assuming a 7% rate of return over 160 years that would put the current value at 188.6 billion dollars. That would be a rather conservative investment. A more aggressive, informed investor could get more like 9% which would put the current value at 3.65 trillion dollars. It would seem that the people that have been running the finances of Mexico have the same financial savy as all the people facing forclosure here in the US.
I’m curious to know how long you think your economy would survive under your plan.
You’re right FamilyMan. But if I just said “jealousy” I wouldn’t be able to write anything fun.
No, but our desperate Democrats are convinced that socialism is the way to go! Socialized healthcare, etc. Just read the UK papers and you’ll see how “successful” that program is in the UK. Most have private insurance because the NHS is pathetic and cash strapped. Cash strapped so much so that they are dropping popular cancer drugs because they are “too expensive”. Money over lives. That’s what it will come to.
Yes, a good chunk of the people in Europe that were entrepeneural or adventurous or bucked against the old way of doing things went to America. That brain drain was largely responsible for our sprinting past them in technology for several generations.
That poll is deceptive. If I went to France, Germany, and Denmark, and asked the poll question, but failed to disclose that 75% of those asked were of middle eastern descent, wouldn’t that impact the results?
That’s like taking a poll here in the US, and failing to mention that 75% of those asked belonged to one particular party, a point that could skew a poll one way or another, thus making the results misleading.
I don’t blame America, but I do blame Politicians like McCain for this. Stop the invasion NOW.
right on
butbut but, ….isn’t that how the media do polls here? 75% liberal?
Good point, oldedude. I’ve always wondered why the liberals hate the europeans that came to what became the United States. For some reason, Cananda, Mexico, Central and South America are exempt from their hatred.
If the world wants BO I say “They can have him”. After he loses in November he can go to some country in Europe and become the head of lower Crapistan or whatever and become the darling of European politics. And I hope he has Nancy Pelosi with him when he leaves…oh and Susan Surrenderan… and Matt Demon Damon…and Looney Clooney… and the rest.
Right mojoe, I always forget I have to go back 13 centuries when referring to Muslims. Thanks
alexwest #30 – I like it except would prefer one with a line through mccain.
SNL comes back this week. I worry about who the show’s favorite candidate will be. They certainly favored Hillary over Obama, and I think that helped her win over “certain types of voters”, or at least turned some off to Obama. I’m sure they will have some funny Palin stuff, but what will their political viewpoint be? I think Lorne Michaels is a McCain guy, but I would guess that the writers are more liberal. They made Obama look like an a$$ in the primaries. McCain has hosted in the past and did very well.
Obama will be on this week, but I’m sure McCain will make another appearance. Who if anyone will get the coveted slot, Saturday, right before the Nov. 4th election?
This may seem shallow, but you’re nuts if you don’t think this can effect the younger voters a little bit.
i was reminded what BHO said about his total disrespect for the U.S.A. and its undying symbol…what a tool!
Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec.171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing
the flag with the right hand over the heart.
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,’ Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ………………
‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’
If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president!! I, for once, I am speechless. He has absolutely NO pride in this country!!!!! This is outrageous!!!!
Sick b*stards.
No prob John, I agree! But to get Palin I need to pull for McCain.
Palin/Jinal 2012!
Not shallow at all. You’re right. I remember in college that most people in my dorm liked the candidates based on the SNL skits. If I tried to discuss where a particular candidate stood on an issue, I got the deer-in-headlights look.
sikntiredinNY can you post a link for reference?
That is sharp looking, Alex, but my favorite thing of the whole campaign is what Ann Coulter has headlining her website. It’s also available from cafepress on Tees:
Vote for the vet and the mommy
not the plagiarist and the commie.
That’s exactly what is so frightening…that the younger voters could be affected (swayed, influenced, whatever) by SNL’s opinion.
The world wants Obama. Obama says “check your tires, check your oil.”
My collie says:
I’m betting that our lipstick can beat their dipstick.
Don’t forget the world wanted Kerry too. LMAO
That quote was an e-mail hoax and we shouldn’t be passing it along here. There are too many real issues too slam him with.
Just a few thoughts here:
Europe: When you lay down with weenies (your lawmakers), you wake up with Jihadists.
MEH-he-co: What does it say about the state of your country that despite believing the U.S. kills its own citizens, you folks STILL want to come here? If I were you, I’d get out while the getting was good.
When Palin/Jindal takes over in ‘12, I vote for John Bolton for Secretary of State. If you haven’t noticed, Mr. Bolton takes a kick a$$/take no prisoners position.
The U.S. should leave that bastion of corruption, ignorance and pilferage known as the U.N. Thanks, but no thanks, folks. We’d rather be on our own. We suggest you relocate to Outer Mongolia and be on the lookout for bad guys.
Signed,
Proud to be an infidel.
That is good stuff!
And these polls are important, why?
JSR, is this a HOAX?

alex,
The other one I hope to see capitalized on was further up in this thread, I think.
“Our lipstick can beat your dipstick.”
(Apologies for not giving credit to the original poster.)
I get it. You think no matter what we do, the world will always hate us. Except public world opinion of the US has gone down dramatically since the start of the Iraq war. It’s not up for debate: Bush has made us less popular.
I know most Americans don’t care at all (and honestly, my respect for public opinion in Germany or France is negligible) but there’s no question we would at least benefit from having a President who generates respect from world leaders, whether that respect is earned or not. You can imagine we would have had more support for the war if we had a President who didn’t feel the need to describe the soul of leaders he met.
And if you really feel that Obama’s views on foreign policy are so bad, at least consider that the Bush administration has conceded every one of them (operations in Pakistan, high level negotiations with Iran, time table in Iraq) and we’re not dead. Yet.
Finally, if all Muslims, one billion strong (not just the Qaeda kooks) really have a blind hatred and desire to kill Americans, we would have all been killed a long time ago.
Take my wife please, is a Henny Youngmen joke.
Please tell me you’re not seriously linking a freakin lego on line game to the war in Iraq. Have YOU been fitted for a tin foil hat yet?
P.S. LEGO is a Danish company, we LIKE Danish companies remember! Buy Danish!
No, but this is:

So many strange things come out of the mouths of Democrats it isn’t necessary to put words into their mouths to make them look silly. Their own words are more than sufficient.
Creative visualization has gone to the liberals heads. They think that voting for the Obama will cause the world to transform.
As for the rest of the world, they hate us because it’s easy to hate and takes work to build their own countries. With state controlled press spewing anything the state wants and individuals locked into hatred dating back for centuries, we are in a no-win situation. I don’t care if countries don’t like us as long as they are too fearful to attack us. All the foreign aid we send has not done as much as having bigger bombs. Liberals need to understand this. Those who can’t or won’t fight back end up like Tibet.
Posted a comment for the Haters of the American Way….
I wonder if Hamas, who has shown support for Obama, or Chavez or Castro etc., are showing support for Obama because they respect him, or think he will be a weakling, a pushover, or, as OBL put it, a paper tiger?
Hell no! We give him away. I’ll glady pay the eBay fees.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; as long as “The World” wants Obama to be the US president, we have an obligation to elect McCain, even if we have to hold our noses while doing so.
