OCD's Delight: Ward Churchill And The Flying Imams!
One night only!
Oooops! Sorry! Last Night! All over! Never Again! Too Bad! Have to talk about actual subject! Have to wither up and die! HAVE TO WITHER UP AND DIE!!!

The Flying Imams?
Is that an Egyptians rap group?

Re:The Flying Imams
Or are they Wayne newton's back up singers, managed by Ward Churchill? I can't figure out who this Churchill dude is. Is he related to Winston?

there are no threats there is no terrorism
9-11 was an inside job. By the Garment Workers Union local 12. Just for being mad at them we should give all Muslims a pony and a million dollars and perhaps elect them all offices across the US, by default. Then the world would love us and bow at Liberal's dirty sandals.

BTW
If anyone can't see the logic of the usefulness of 'anon' postings then besides the fact that you're a pack foul mouthed name calling jackals who get off yelling and taunting the 2 or 3 people who don't agree with you, in lieu of actually having a point, you are are duller and crazier than I thought you were.

Andrew Sullivan's reply to Kirchick re Scooter Libby
http://andrewsullivan.com/the_daily_dish/2007/07/a-show-trial.html
A Show Trial?
05 Jul 2007 04:10 pmJamie Kirchick describes the prosecution of Scooter Libby's perjury as a "show-trial meant to prove a political point." That would be John Ashcroft's political point? Or James Comey's? Or Patrick Fitzgerald's? Alan Dershowitz (another FOL) also asserts that the DC Circuit judges who denied Libby's appeal were also being political. His evidence? He has none, as Orin Kerr notes. The only political point made by Judge Reggie Walton in the sentencing was that Libby's privilege, money, connections, friends and supporters should not mean a different system of justice. And Walton was put on the federal bench by ... drum-roll ... George W. Bush! As Todd Gitlin points out,
so were two of the three Appeals Court judges who sustained that decision ... one of these political dastards, David Sentelle, was a member of the three-judge panel that installed Ken Starr as Special Inquisitor in 1994.
So an entire inquiry initiated by and staffed by and presided over by Republican appointees was a Democratic political operation? The lengths to which some neocons will go to deny the obvious about the rank corruption of their president and the rank perjury of their friend is absurd.
I might also note that when my friend Jamie refers to "Cassandras" with respect to our constitutional order, he might acknowledge that Cassandra, in Greek mythology, predicted disaster, was ignored, and was proven right. Ahem.

As we all now realize, Andrew Sullivan was sadly mistaken to label James Kirchick as one of "some neocons".
Thanks to John Fund at the Wall Street Journal in 2006, and thanks to Mr. Elliott's comment here at salon.com, today, we all know that Mr. Kirchick is actually a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.

Has Golden Boy Gone His Shower Yet??
"So, anything to say about the other three facts I listed? No? Well, that's not surprising."
Ah, one of those guys, answering your own questions. Great Dittohead technique -- people who say things like, "So what you're saying is . . . . " really shouldn't be pandered to, but, sigh, here goes.
Anywho Golden Boy, I really don't have much to say about your first two 'factoids'. Let's just say, we probably don't see eye to eye on Hamas or Hezbollah -- as the saying goes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. And Hamas, (the political arm) was actually elected in a fair democratic election that was totally dissed by the U.S. & Israel -- strange, no?? We support the 'democracy' in Egypt and Pakistan, but not the guys who are trying to hold onto their own land.
Your third factoid is amusing -- "-A quarter of Muslims in America, when polled, supported suicide bombing in defence of Islam. Approximately the same number could not or would not state an unfavorable opinion of al Qaeda."
Actually, not amusing -- pretty distressing . . . "On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, one-third of the American people continue to believe that Saddam Hussein was "personally involved" in the terrorist assault, according to one recent poll. Other surveys show that a larger number - 40 percent or more - believe that Iraq had some role in the attacks, or that Iraq gave substantial support to Al-Qaida."
Heck, that means that your average American Muslim is smarter than your average whatever American.
And speaking of Ward Churchill, the description you used, "that bag of human excrement" is exactly the same description, word for word, that I usually use for Ariel Sharon.
"Do you care to dispute any of this, or any of the facts I listed in my last post? I sympathize; the facts are not kind to apologists for Islam."
And sorry, I really dislike getting in pissing contests with apologists for Likudites.

Wave your hands!
I suppose you folks think that if you post enough times, the facts I put to you will be forgotten. So here they are again:
1) Imam Shahin, leader of the North American Imams Federation and spokesman for the infamous flying imams, worked for KindHearts, linked by the US Justice Department to Hamas. He also represented two Muslims who were removed from an America West flight for twice trying to open the cockpit, actions that led the FBI to suspect they were doing 9/11 dry runs.
2) The largest mainstream Muslim organization in the US, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the criminal trial of the Holy Land Foundation, charged (like Shahin's KindHearts) with supporting Hamas.
3) A quarter of Muslims in America, when polled, supported suicide bombing in defence of Islam. Approximately the same number could not or would not state an unfavorable opinion of al Qaeda.
I think that addresses Glenn's article very nicely.
As for Ward Churchill, perhaps he really is as marginal as many of you are making out. Pantanal posted something very similar to Churchill's analysis a few days ago, and I know I've struck a nerve there by his or her spastic responses, but focus on the facts I just posted. Or not... they are very uncomfortable for you, after all.
Golden Boy
PS I see totallyblase has just posted in support of Hamas. This has become a very enlightening thread.
