CNN Linking Tsunami Aid to Osama Bin Laden |
|
Wolf Blitzer was just discussing the tsunami aid effort with William Cohen. His first question was "Why should we give money to the tsunami victims if they support Osama Bin Laden?". He then puts a picture up of some poor wretched soul in Indonesia wearing an Osama Bin Laden t-shirt as he begs for water. Cohen seemed to stunned by the question and he said that we shouldn't let anything stop us from contributing to ease the suffering of so many fellow human beings. Wolf, ever the media whore, wouldn't let up and then he let's all his viewers know that there sure are alot of Muslims over there in them islands and shouldn't the rich Muslim countries be paying for their rescue. Tens of millions of people were affected by the tsunami and CNN & Wolf Blitzer find a picture of one guy wearing an Osama T-shirt and they start to question the US role in the relief effort. What a stinking pile of crap our modern American media profession has become. Simply amazing!

It's sentiment like this that makes me hang my head in shame.

2. You had to figure this would come up...and sure as hell.. |

... we got nutty preachers talking about how "christian" nations were spared and the "heathen" nations were smote.

3. There's a warm spot in Hell reserved for Wolf Blitzer |

And anyone who uses this disaster as a political or ideological crutch.

5. I'd like to see Wolf Blitzer get mauled by a pack of his own namesake |
|
Now that would be news. I'd pay $9.95 to watch that on Pay-per-View.

6. Now will the New York Times do a snide article about this? |
|
Like they did attacking the blogs/DU because some people asked questions (and received intelligent, science based answers) on whether there was a connection between underwater earthmovements and global warming? Nah - they'll ignore racist hatefilled commentators like Blitzer.

7. Simply beyond the pale |
|
That is wrong on so many levels that I don't know where to begin. A new low, even for Blitzer. Worthless POS.

11. Leslie Blitzer must've gotten his daily PNAC talking points. |
|
What a dick. Are the aid workers supposed to ask each of those poor bastards whether he supports OBL, and if he says yes, they can't give him that little bag of rice? Get a clue, Leslie: If the U.S. cheaps out on sending aid, it will provide the Al Qaeda recruiters one more reason to give these people for hating us. Nobody has done more to boost the Osama Fan Club than George Wanker Bush.

12. Yup, God just killed 100,000 OBL supporters. |
|
:eyes:
Bush* stopped caring about OBL in March 2002 and even said as much. Never mind how he helped the Bin Laden family flee the US immediately after 9/11 which seems more suspicious than coincidental. But maybe his family knows where OBL is...?

Blitzer's email at CNN:
Wolf.Blitzer2@cnn.com
What a prick.
Wolf,
Why should we give money to someone with an Osama t-shirt? Because he's suffering, Wolf. Because they're not rich, overpaid, Bush Administration shills like you. You see one t-shirt and suddenly the purpose of the whole American relief effort is in question. I guess the insinuation is that people who disagree with the American dominionist point of view should die, no?
Your statements were beyond idiotic: they were insensitive, ignorant, despicable.

16. The picture is posted on that idiot Neal Boortz's page. |
|
Unfortunately, my husband is a Bushbot and reads that dreck. Boortz was spinning the same garbage lines too.

19. It hasn't been easy these past couple of years. |
|
We have agreed to disagree. The kids are philosophically with me, though. We homeschool, and I do about 99% of the teaching, so they get a very liberal curriculum.

if there are victims that hate America I'm sure they won't accept our aid...we shouldn't question giving aid just because there are people who hate us...These media bitches have no logic..:scared:

How effn' low will we go?
The dead Iraqis don't matter, and neither do any of these brown people.
They're just Muslims.
You know, with my trusty tin hat, the fact that this disaster was visited on mostly Muslim countries makes me wonder about a few things.
