Comments on: Fox News To Air Frank Gaffney’s ‘Alarmist’ ‘Unfair’ Documentary On Islam http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/19/islam-documentary-fox/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:05:12 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: tjrc http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/19/islam-documentary-fox/comment-page-5/#comment-4131826 tjrc Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:20:53 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/10/19/islam-documentary-fox/#comment-4131826 It's interesting to see the venom for Christianity with a complete ignorance to what Islam does around the world. Bold oppression of other religions, women, homosexuals and everyone else that Progressive seem to otherwise defend. By all means hold extreme, partisan opinions if you wish but please be consistent. The war in Iraq was a tragic mistake. Bush should go down in history as the worst President of our great country. Agreed. But Islam has a violent nature far beyond any other organized religion.

Comment by Patriot — October 20, 2007 @ 11:53 pm You seem to think that Osama bin Laden was "in power"... in Afghanistan maybe, could you provide a link to verify this.

You are calling a Lietenant Colonal a traito without warrant. I said President Bush overthrew Osama Bin Laden, and you said nothing to the contrary, so I must assume you agree. You just said the President allowed Osama Bin Laden to escape, but if someone is taken out of power, they are overthrown. Osama Bin Laden is still out of power in Afghanistan, so he is still overthrown. About Iraq, I did not say he stopped terrorism, I said he stooped a terrorist supporting dictator. As for the increased terrorism, I could say, sometimes it's darkest before dawn, or I could say the increased terrorist activity is a sign that Al Qaeda is afraid. If we weren't a threat to their power, they would attack at their leisure. However, this is not the case. Al Qaeda is doing whatever they can to frighten the U.S. meaning, they are frightened of us. If you would like, I would be glad to go into a more in depth discussion of Iraq, but for now, I'll move on. You say that it is all documented, so give a link, or even a reference. You have not been able to answer me in any rational way. You have resorted to mere muckslinging, meaningless cursing, and mindless ranting. It must be concluded from how you wrote, the sheer venom in your post, that you are very tired, afraid I'm right, incredably irrational, or a combination of the three.

The Clinton team haned Bush Bin laden on a plate, but Bush, being a very good friend of the Bibn Laden family, ignored all the material, and gave Bin laden a free pass, which saved Bush's already failing joke of a presidency. Bin laden also obligingly produced another re-election video just in time for you bedwetters to vote for your overwhelming failure again, when he should have been impeached, removed from office, tried and convicted of treason, and hanged right after 9/11. those are the facts, bigfoot, not your little fascist nazi fairy-tales. And you conveniently forget, in y8our little nazi fantasy, that Oliver north and GHW Bush conspired with Reagan to keep those hostages imprisoned until Reagan's inauguration. You, and they, are unAmerican traitors with no lyalty to the Constitution or rule of law. Your screed is all lies and wingnut fantasy, without a shred of proof or truth. Comment by O.

You are complaining that Fox is running a flawed documentary, which would be fine if it wasn't so hipocritical. You people get so up in arms if anyone refuses to run a flawed documentary like "An Inconveniant Truth" or "Sicko" but when a documentary you disagree with is run, you immediately call it flawed, biased, and bigoted. This is both hipocritical and almost assanine. The only flaw mentioned is that the documentary forces people to get additional information to comprehend it. I see no problem with this. Trying to get people to do research on a topic instead of just blindly following rhetoric.
