    @Simcoe-

    I don’t think anyone here is celebrating the deaths of 3,000+ innocent civilians. But please, make that comparison. Making fun of an idiot catching on fire, now that’s the lowest of low. I really wish you were kidding.

    Has Chap ever expressed sympathy for people killed by Hamas rockets, or little girls machine gunned at point blank range while strapped into their booster seats?

    No, because I hate little girls, clearly.

    Don’t be a dope.

    Once again, Chap displays a trait called “projection.” He only sees race and ethnicity and therefore assumes everyone else does to. Chap, old boy, if I don’t think Palestinians exist I can’t very well assume the cameraman is one of them, can I? Which leads me to the second point.

    Poor Chap also seems to suffer from cognitive dissonance or at least seems to think I do. Or maybe he suffers from it but thinks I do. Of course, you can’t suffer from cognitive dissonance if you are incapable of thought. Chap may be just a poorly coded AI project making up random leftist responses to posts on this blog.

    I make a joke about the Palestinians standing around the burning cameraman and Chap, blinded by race, therefore concludes that I am saying the cameraman is Palestinian and, since I am an evil conservative, therefore must hate him. Wow, that might be a case of cognitive dissonance combined with projection while he presumes to know my beliefs!

    Then, like a good liberal, when his own racism is exposed he claims his racism is really my racism. Because we know only evil conservatives can be racist.

    Top that off on him telling me I lack “common decency” while he worships at the altar of abortion and you have the “perfect little crypto-fascist.” He is a fully indoctrinated leftist. Obama must be so proud.

    Now I am returned, full circle, back to my original point. Reality rarely intrudes into Chaps “neat, convenient crypto-fascist little world.” It must make life much, much easier for him.

    No, Chap, I am basing my statement on the fact that he is a JOURNALIST! They are, statistically far more likely to be Anti-American. I made no statements about his ethnicity. I tend not to notice these things to begin with. I see you only see race and ethnicity though.

    So you are a creep and a liar.

    Please. You didn’t base your assumption on the fact that the guy is a journalist. You based it on the fact that he is Palestinian. For you to claim otherwise is absolutely laughable, especially in light of your little “joke”:

    Q: How many Palestinians does it take to put out a cameraman?
    A: Who knows. There is no such thing as a Palestinian!

    Don’t try to push your prejudice off to me. Be somewhat of a man and own it.

    You have to be absolutely delusional if you think anyone would believe that you were commenting on the fact that the guy is a CAMERAMAN. A guy carrying a freaking camera (yeah…that group has always been reviled) rather on the fact that the guy is middle eastern.

    This whole “I don’t see race” thing is funny when Colbert does it, but only because he’s making fun of idiots like you.

    It’s a couple of months after 9/11.

    On the television news for the past few weeks we’ve been seeing mobs of Iranians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Southeast Asians and other Muslims from around the world marching in the streets, holding above their heads big photos of the Twin Towers burning and collapsing, dancing and chanting anti-American slogans, burning American flags.

    As you watch, what’s going through you mind? What are you thinking about those people? Is it how you hate them because of what they’re doing?

    Well, having been there, having met the people of all classes, having talked in length with men and women from Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwaite, Lebanon, Israel, and Palenstine I can safely say the many of them are stupid. Many of them.

    It’s not their fault, they’re uneducated indoctrinated pawns. (Kind of like Code Pink but without the diplomas and Birkenstocks) They’re used by their leaders as chess pieces made out of meat because that’s what their leadership sees them as. Their religious leaders run the gammot from caring teachers to foaming at the mouth madmen and unfortunately there’s way too many of them in the second group.

    The Arabs and Persians that received what we would consider a well rounded education are vastly different from their gibbering street brothers, many of those get the hell out of there, the rest stay low and try to survive. That’s depending on what country they’re in.

    Of course we could be great friends with many of those in the Middle East, but thanks to the heavy handed meddling of the Carter Administration and his “Georgia Mafia” all trying to make the Middle East their personal profitable playthings the Middle East turned against us. The Carter thugs first turned Iran into something resembling a rabid septic tank (but smells worse) due to their dealings with the Shah, and when the Iyatolla Kohmeni came to power they got out of hands. The Carter fools in their mindless attempts to reign Iran and get our hostages out of there propped up Saddam Hussein and taught him the joys of nerve gas.

    Carters incompetence extended to Afghanistan where he decided to tweak Russia. His team of morons helped found and arm the Taliban and Al Qaeda and bring Osama Bin Laden to power.

    Now we have to suffer with this mess he left us. Everything we do in the Middle East, good or bad, is directly the cause of the meddling and stupidity of Carter’s Foreign Affairs adviser.

    And just think, these same rejects and morons that turned the middle east into the nightmare that it is now are currently running this country. I don’t mean the Democratic party (maybe I do), I mean the specific morons and rejects; namely the daddy of them all Zbigenew Brzezinski – who is now Barry Obama’s senior foreign policy adviser.

    our only hope in the middle east for the next 4 years is if the morons over there all roast themselves when trying to burn our flag because Obama is going to destroy our military and his handler, Brzezinski, is going to screw things up even worse over there.

Go back to his original post – the joke doesn’t even imply that the cameraman is a Palestinian. The joke doesn’t necessitate that the cameraman is a Palestinian, merely that those around him are.

    And considering that the Palestinians voted Hamas into power, I’m thinking that most Palestinians are at least sympathetic to the terrorists.

    Does anyone seriously believe this guy is one of the few Palestinian Christians, who, while taking pictures of birds, just happens to get a little too close to a burning flag? That is as stupid as believing what grows inside a woman’s womb is not a baby. Oh wait…

    You’re clearly calling WarEagle82 a racist for making an assumption about a cameraman trying to push a camera too close to a burning flag.

    Yes, WarEagle82 made a bit of an assumption. But I think his assumption has a high probablility of being correct in that little corner of the world. Unless you believe that anti-American sentiment among the media corps in that area is low (which would seem like a strange belief to me).

    WarEagle82 is probably right about the cameraman (statistically), but you’re probably wrong about your accustation about WarEagle82.

    Let me ask you this. If polling reveals that 90% of a certain race believes X. Then is it really racism to assume that a member of that race believes X? Doesn’t that merely demonstrate common sense ?

    Corkie,

    I made no assumption about the fellow in question. The articles stated he was a cameraman. Therefore, I didn’t assume that. I accepted the article as correct. I have never assumed anything about the fellow’s ethnicity. Chappy wants to claim I did but if you or he check my posts you will see that I did not.

    Don’t get suckered into Chappy’s introduction of race into this. If 95% of all journalists are card-carrying leftists then this journalist has a high probability of being a card-carrying leftist. Somehow, Chappy wants everyone to believe that when I said he was very likely to be anti-American because he is a journalist that I meant he was very likely to be anti-American because he is of some ethinic group that I NEVER brought up.

    In fact, I don’t presume to know what ethnic group this fellow is. All I can say is that he does have an Arabic name but then so do a lot of Indonesian children. But that doesn’t make them Arabic. Then again, John Walker Lindh went by an Arabic name in Afghanistan. And I know enough to know that doesn’t make him Arabic. Somehow this all escapes Chappy. Somehow, claims Chappy, the fact that I did NOT make any mention about this fellow’s ethnicity, is in fact, a racist comment.

    No one but Chappy has introduced the fellow’s ethnicity. Yet somehow, Chappy wants to maintain that I am a racist when HE made assumptions about the fellow’s ethnicity.

    And appealing to Chappy’s “common sense” is a lost cause.

    corkie,

    You’re clearly calling WarEagle82 a racist for making an assumption about a cameraman trying to push a camera too close to a burning flag.

    I am calling him prejudice (racist probably not right term) because his (and others) first reaction to a Palestinian cameraman in the line of duty getting severe burns was to laugh and make jokes and say he got what he deserved. I do not believe at all Wareagle was making some commentary on the left wing media, especially considering he had made a joke about Palestinians in the previous post, and his “come on….I mean…look at the percentages…of course he hates America” schtik.

    And even if one is to assume how the cameraman feels about Israel or the US, how is that in any case relevant? He was not participating in the rally, he was covering it. So to say that this is funny is to basically say that any image of any Palestinian getting burned is high-freaking-larious, because we can pretty much assume they hate us.

    Whatever, WarEagle is a tired idiot, who is retroactively trying to justify his stupid statement. I will say though, he was not alone in his sentiment.

    Chappy,

    There is a “tired idiot” in this argument and it is you. I have NEVER identified the cameraman as “Palestinian.” I don’t think anyone but you has done so. I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE GUY’S ETHNICITY, NATIONALITY, PASSPORT OR RELIGION. I ONLY KNOW HIS OCCUPATION! I have NEVER brought it up. You have. REPEATEDLY.

    In fact, I don’t believe there is any such thing as a “Palestinian” except for the Philistines who inhabited the area around 1300BC. I doubt he is one of them.

    Since I don’t believe “Palestinians” exist I couldn’t have been calling him one, could I?

    And only you could or would assume that the cameraman’s “feelings” about Israel or the US would somehow be irrelevant to his performing his duties. Many, many, many posts on this blog have been devoted to how such bias is critically relevant to the coverage of such events.

    The ability to ignore the facts in evidence and make up any you like while claiming “special knowledge” as to what I was really thinking is unbelievable. And you keep doing it and you won’t admit that you keep doing it. And I find THAT totally hilarious. If I may paraphrase Gilbert and Sullivan, you are the model of a modern major liberal!

    Chappy – exceeding his MRDA of tired liberal cliches in every post.

    Okay. I guess I am to assume you have some irrational hatred of cameramen then? I mean, that IS the only other explanation, right? You hate cameramen, not Palestinians.

    Lets explore that particular pathology. Did a scary clown with a camera try to take your picture when you were a tyke and scare you for life?

    Did your school pictures always come out with you looking like a huge goof as a teen?

    Did a co-ed photography major break your heart in college?

    Do tell. Let us know the real WarEagle.

    That I oppose the views and actions of those who would destroy America is different. But you don’t seem able to discern the difference.

    You are obviously a strange little man in a strange little world where you think conservatives are filled with rage and hate. As I said, this is mostly likely due to “projection.” It ain’t so and a little therapy might help you figure this out.

    Sorry, WarEagle82. I should have been more clear.

    I know that you were simply making an assumption about a cameraman. And while I agreee that many employees of the media lean left, it’s probably a bit aggressive to state that a majority of all cameraman are anti-American.

    However, I still think you made a safe assumption because:

    1) this guy is covering that area of the world (which is a statistical subset and, in my opinion, a more anti-American subset of “all cameramen”); and

    2) this guy was positioned too close to a burning American flag which might deomonstrate a bit of insight into what he believed to be a “money shot.” Someone lacking any anti-American sentiments might not have valued the opportunity enough to risk the obvious danger involved.

    I know you never introduced race into this. chapoutier did. And I wanted to demonstrate his flawed logic in doing so. I fail to see how it changes anything.

    Again, what you think I think has been refuted by a source I posted as a link several posts back. But, facts don’t matter to someone as feeble-brained as you. Only in your crypto-fascist little world is what you think I think more important than what I say I think and then back up with sources.

    I am going to point out the link again that demonstrates I do believe the VAST MAJORITY of journalsts are leftists and entirely biased and have anti-American views. The link is here. Frankly, I suspect you are too stupid to click on the link and comprehend what it says.

    I will repeat that Michelle frequently runs posts exposing the horrible, one-sided bias of journalists and photo-journalists ON THIS VERY BLOG. I share her belief that the VAST MAJORITY OF JOURNALISTS AND PHOTO-JOURNALISTS are biased against America and that it affects the stories they cover and the way the cover them. Anyone who has visited this site for more than a few weeks would KNOW this is not an uncommon opinion among conservatives who visit this site!

    THE WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF! It obviously means nothing to Chappy.

    I have looked at the picture. From what I can see of the fellow I can’t tell where he is from. Maybe you live by such stereotypes but I don’t. You are obsessed with race! You are a racist!

    chapoutier, do you know how stupid this sentence is?

    Within one sentence you acknowledge my point that “it’s probably a bit aggressive,” then you immediately jump to “it is absolutely illogical.”

    It’s not absolutely illogical. It’s merely a bit aggressive (which means that it’s completely logical) and you know it!

    Chappy is obsessed with race and hate. He sees both everywhere. As far as I can tell his motivations in life are race, hate and abortion on demand.

    It is incredibly funny to watch this idiot proclaim he knows what I am thinking and what I mean when I say something. Arrogance and stupidity and self-righteousness seem to best define our leftist, crypto-fascist named Chappy.

    I think the question is “what kind of virgins does self-immolation qualify a Mujahedeen for? And does partial self-immolation count or not?”

    I don’t believe this has been discussed at length any any captured Al-Qaeda recruiting manuals so it is obviously open to speculation.

    While there is as yet no definitive ruling I have heard this level of jihadi competence would get the up-and-coming Mujahedeen virgin male goats or possibly hamsters but I think the Imams in Iran are still working this out.

    Oh no, more liberal outrage!

    How are we to take you seriously? You support abortion on demand, yet become all indignant over this? You voted for a guy who was unmoved after hearing testimony about how little babies, having survived an abortion attempt, were then dumped into the dirty clothes to die.

    Human beings are moral creatures. Liberals, who reject true morality, create a vacuum in themselves. They have to fill this vacuum with a made-up morality. Since this morality cannot be true morality, they are forced to create a morality that doesn’t even make sense.

    That is why it is the horror of horrors to execute a murderer, but the noblest of causes to defend a woman’s right to murder her innocent, unborn child.

    Log first, then the speck.

    Stupid logic, chapoutier.

    1. It’s NOT stupid to assume the cameraman is anti-American. Reread my above analysis.

    2. Do you honestly believe that WarEagle82 would feel any sort of satisfaction seeing a man with identical skin color getting a burn while proudly waiving the US flag?

    It’s very obvious that anti-American sentiment IS the driving force here. Not racism. To imply anything else makes you despicable!

    It’s fine if you want to criticize someone for joking about someone getting burned but don’t cry racism. It cheapens the meaning of the word.

    Why do you continue to try getting anywhere with this? You make plenty of solid, reasonable arguments on here, and I’m sure you’ll make more in the future. But, this definitely isn’t one of them. Move on.

    Well, I hope I can stop laughing tonight. The fact that I think the vast majority of journalists are anti-American demonstrates that I think the vast majority of journalists are anti-American.

    The fact that the guy has an Arabic name simply doesn’t enter into the equation. And you again go with your stereotypes. What is a “middle eastern person?” Is there any such thing? There are Arabs, Azeris, Persians, Kurds, Turks, Armenians, Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, Uzbek, Turkmen, Aimaq, Kirghiz, Wakhi, Farsiwan, Nuristani, Baluch, Brahui, Qizilbash, Kabuli, Jat and Berbers in Egypt. Now we could extend along the coast to Libya and on.

    Pray tell which of these groups are “middle easterners?” Tell me what “they” look like? All of them are different in terms of ethno-linguistics and cultures. But you just lump them together in one polyglot term. Excuse me, but it is you who are the racist here. I haven’t seen a dolt of your caliber in quite some time.

    When I see any idiot stupid enough to get close to someone setting an American flag on fire, the flag my father died for, I am going to laugh in his face regardless of his ethnic origins when it literally blows up in his face. And if I saw an American with the last name of Bin Laden getting his butt kicked because he is an American I would be right there watching his six.

    You are a pretentious, arrogant, racist, hate-filled dolt and you project your own feelings on everyone here. How pathetic.
