Lou Dobs question of the day: I can't believe this

[liberal N proud]

Do you believe the war on terror should be properly referred to as 'The War on Terror' or the 'The War on Radical Islamist Terrorists'?

Terror 25% 1367 votes

Radical Islamist Terrorists 75% 4038 votes
Total: 5405 votes

Look at the results.
Is Lou trying to incited hatred?

1. I guess white boys that blow up Federal buildings is OK

and probably white guys with Anthrax who like to mail it out is OK...

[Paradise]

2. Couldn't have said it any better, so I won't. n/t

[RevCheesehead]

3. It's official - the Crusades are back. n/t

[w13rd0]

4. Perhaps it's a good thing to point out that Bush...

...is doing NOTHING to fight terror perpetrated by anyone other than non-white muslims...

[Paradise]

5. No, just taking a poll on how many morans are out there. n/t

[Dogmudgeon]

6. I think Lou was shooting for precision

And ended up with more bigotry than he probably wanted.

After all, "The War On Terror" is a cliche and is devoid of any effective meaning. It's like saying "I'm against bad things."

However, Dobbs really screwed up on offering an alternative.

7. My email to that Asshat.

I am writing in because of how dissapointed I am by the poll on your website:

"Do you believe the war on terror should be properly referred to as
'The War on Terror'
or the
'The War on Radical Islamist Terrorists'?

Terror

Radical Islamist"

Does someone who has a show on national television need to be reminded that Islamic extremists are not the only terrorists out there killing people? You are a perfect example of the ignorance that plagues the mainstream media today.

8. Kinda Sounds Like not to many Folk here saw that program, eh?

My wife and I watch Lou every night that we can. And in case you folks haven't, you should too.

Lou, I think, has been brushed off as a "Capitalist Talking Head Pig" buy some, but he does show a distinct anti-shrub bias a lot of times on that program.

Now as to the "Question of the Day" that has you folks all steamed up:

As part of the setup for that, Lou had a screen graphic of a quote from an Egyptian Muslem scholar (the cnn transcript of last night's show does not carry it) who had written something to the effect that while not all Muslems are terrorists, just about all of the terrorists are Radical Islamists.

THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE QUESTION!!!!!!

As for Lou, his views, and the help he can provide to beating Bush; He is a tool, use him when useful, ignore him when not.


By the way, Folks might want to head over to the cnn transcripts page and check it out the Sept 8th show along with the 9th (where this poll originated).

[geek tragedy]

9. Maybe we because we are at war with radical Islamist terrorists?

I prefer to think we're at war with the people who carried out 9/11, Bali, Madrid, etc rather than being at war with a tactic.

10. No Islamic Terrorists Involved in the '95 Okla City Fed Bldg Bombing!!!!

Unless you listen to some to the Free Republic Nazi flakes.

12. No Islamic Terrorists Involved in Massive Weapons Bust in Texas Last Year

A white couple living 1.5 hrs Northwest of Houston, home got raided last year. 1/2 million rounds of ammo, massive arsenal of weapons, a container with 20 lbs of cyanide, all sorts of stuff laying around their home, that any "normal White Christian American" would have. It was bad and the Feds just got lucky in catching the husband and wife with the goods.

16. Islam is 2nd Largest Religion in World with 1 Billion+ Followers

Many scholars say there are more practicing Muslims in the World than Christians.

Did we really need to start a 50 year Christian vs Muslim Holy War, per international intel experts, over Isarel and our Blood for Oil Middle East policies that benefit the Bush Family Texas Mafia?

WTC 9/11 was supposed to be a wake up call for American to get their foot out of the arse of the Middle East. Unfortunately this Country didn't get the message.

We did the one thing that all World experts said not to do. We broke the Post-Cold War Middle East Polarization Doctrine that had to be followed to prevent the worst Holy War in the history of this planet.

17. Book Should Be Required Reading by all Americans!

Islam Without Illusions
Its Past, Its Present, and Its Challenge for the Future
By Ed Hotaling
http://www.syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/fall-2003-catalog/islam-illusions.html

Good book, with a few flaws, but good starter for the uneducated. Author is making the talk show circuit currently and makes sense.

We have people in our "Beat Bush" Cartel that have extensive experience with Middle East policy matters. Scares the shite out of us, and many others in the World regarding this Bush U.S-M.E. Holy War and the U.S.'s totally ignorant M.E. policies, and ignorance of the American Public on the Middle East and the Islam religion. Gee only over 1 Billion Muslims in this World!

I/we wish there was some way for the American Public to understand the EXTREME problem we are in over our Middle East policies.

18. You Know GOPagainstGW,

the problem with American position in the Middle East is actually easy to understand:

It's the Little Bighorn, and we're on the side of Custer.
