Upset Over Accurate Depiction Of Terrorism By Fox, Islamists At CAIR Cry "Bauer"
2007-01-18
Fox is under siege again by the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR] the Saudi funded Wahhabist pressure group from whose loins sprung convicted terrorists Ghassan Elashi, Randal Todd "Ismael" Royer and Bassem Khafagi...among others.

Note to Boston Herald columnist Lauren Beckham Falcone [Fox's face of terror: Muslims voice concern over portrayal of terrorists on '24'] who according to her bio "covers pop culture, style and all things feature-y for Boston Herald." Let others do the heavy lifting on this subject in the future honey because you obviously don't have a clue and worse, were ridden hard and put up wet in this matter by the very group that through your [along with your editor's] inattention to detail have been given undeserved legitimacy.

One of the scenes which might have offended CAIR on night one of the new 24 run was a classic, with star Kiefer Sutherland's character [as we noted yesterday] Jack Bauer literally chewing the throat out of an Islamic terrorist, then spitting out the bloody gore with a look of pure malevolence.

In our opinion it was the best thing to happen on television in a very long time, giving both a civics lesson in the proper deportment towards terrorist scum while at the same time allowing a glimpse of red-blooded American masculinity defending the homeland.

#11  what's going to corrode our country is listening to the likes of CAIR, and actually giving them air time.

#10  I thought that so far, Season 6 of '24' was disappointing - first for the poor writing and second for the mild stench of PC.

On the plus side - NO KIM BAUER.

#9  Let NWA become the official Muz carrier. I'm with USN, if I see that the aircraft is an Airbust, I change flights. Have you ever noticed the weird gawddamn noises emanating from the bowels of these things ? Something's trying to break all the damn time. I swore off these lepers years ago. Let the Muz pile aboard. What we need is more NWA accidents.

#8  The last time I rode NWA every bloody seat was filled with a wide backside, and my seat was broken... all the way from Cincinnati to Hong Kong -- worst maintenance and lack of cleanliness I've seen on an airline with international pretensions. I hope they've mproved since the late '90s, as it looks like they're set to buy Delta, darn it!

I'm shocked and pleased that Fox is in this brouhaha. After all, some 5% (or at least a significant but non-controlling number) of shares are held by one of the Saudi princelings, who has boasted that Fox management is very responsive to his suggestions and concerns.

#7  In what episode does Bauer take down CAIR, faster please

#6  If its any consolation, NWA is, I believe, the biggest US flag carrier operating Airbust aircraft. And I also believe that on a percentage basis, their passenger jets are mainly Airbust also. And their flight attendants are ugly.

#5  I don't see no hands.

I know a guy who had to fight his way onto a plane when he showed up at the ticket counter 59 minutes before the flight. The rules say 60 minutes, you know.

#4  I'm writing Fox again today. I wrote to Fox in 2005 complaining when they caved into CAIR's demand to issue a PSA designed to smooth the ruffled feathers of a few muslim vultures.

Today's letter will be preemptive. Today I'm asking them to put a hold on any stupid idea that another bogus PSA is needed to pacify the muslims.

Is a PSA put out to placate the NAACP when any of a dozen tv crime shows depict black criminals? No.

Stop the dhimmitude. Stop the appeasement. Stop it now.

Just got off the phone with my wife. To show my family puts it's money where it's mouth is, my wife is selling her 75 shares of Northwest Airlines. At a freaking loss, thank you. Why? NWA caved real quick to CAIR and the 40 muslims in Germany that showed up 20 minutes before take off and were "humiliated" when NWA didn't hold the plane for their asses to get back to Detroit from the hajj. NWA = cowardice personified.

How many folk here at RB think NWA will be happy to hold the plane for you when you show up at the counter 20 minutes before take-off? Give me a show of hands?

#3  "Ridden hard and put up wet" is a description of over-working a horse and not caring for it afterward.
