Xenophobia and hatred couched in a joke is still xenophobia and hatred. You pop off about this particular ethnic group all the time. It's hardly an isolated instance.

Not looking to start shit, just trying to call a spade a spade. My 2 cents, nothing more.

It's the alcohol and the women uppin' and a-leavin' all the time. They don't handle that too well.

Wow.

Thanks for the daily dose of ethnic hatred/religious intolerance. It's folks like you that carry on the proud legacy of George Wallace and Nathan Bedford Forrest. G-d bless America!

All of us know that when you're trying to kick an addiction you replace it with something else. So, it makes sense. Replace dependence on middle east oil with dependence on middle east management. After that, middle east entertainment. And finally, middle east government.

Of course they are and anyone who doesn't think so is just blind. All politics is such an incestuous game and full of nepotism. That applies for every country in the world not just the US.

Politicians, you gotta love em.

First time I've ever agreed with Olberman, that's fo' sho'....
I think a Schiavo comparison is pretty inaccurate as that was the government and others getting involved in someone's personal life, where they certainly do not belong, where as this is one branch of the government and concerned citizens questioning the actions of another branch.

I agree a lot of it is politics, it is an election year after all and if someone is up for reelection and can use this to their advantage, you know they will. I don't understand why no one complained when it was a British owned company? I read somewhere yesterday that Chinese owned companies operate US Ports, that is as bad or worse that UAE. I don't think a non american company should be allowed to do this. It is not a matter of race it is a matter of non americans controlling something so vital to national security as a port. Even though security is still under the control of Coast Guard, Customs, et al, it just doesn't seem right. They may be great guys in the UAE and this may work out great, but doesn't seem right. It should be an american company.

The fact that Bush would threaten a veto, something he has never done in 6 years, makes you wonder why is he so adament about it. I think what TSL said is probably the most important truth to the whole issue, "FOLLOW THE MONEY". Someone, somewhere, with Bush connections is going to make a killing on this.

great post!

Y'all know I'm a supporter of W - but this is just dead wrong. What kills me is that before Congress has even got a chance to debate the issue, he's already said he would veto any attempt to keep it from happening.
