#1 What a disingenuous asstard. The "trend to associate Islam and terrorism", lol. It's not a trend, fuckwit, it's an obvious fact. The violent protests, regards this quotation of an historical text and the cartoon idiocy, both manufactured phoney outrage, PROVES the Pope was correct. How is it his fault that the Muzzies are morons who do whatever their imams tell them to do, including staging violent protests on cue?

This is completely out of hand... by design. The truth is the truth. Pretending there is no 400 lb gorilla in the room, i.e. violent Muzzies, does not make him go away, you appeasing coward. Fuck the fuck off, UN. Worthless bunch of thieves and dhimmis.

#2 There's nothing quite like a human rights expert from Senegal, except perhaps one from Zimbabwe. Sitting in his office high above Manhattan, enjoying the food, ignoring the parking tickets, it's quite a life, and all you have to do is spew bullshit. You even get paid.

#4 STFU!! STFU and GBTW already!!! I'm sick of these asshats dragging out old shiat for days on end just so they can enjoy some persecution complex shiat. STFU! The world has moved on, get with it already! It's all about Hugo now! Your thunder has been stolen.

#5 I'll tell ya what's profoundly troubling. The complete sellout of the UN to Muzzies and other assorted assturds making it totally disfunctional. US taxpayers have had a bellyful. Never heard so many in favor of dumping the UN as after the great Chavez speech. Maybe there's a chance of killing this turkey after all.

#6 Same here, SOP35/Rat - I've received emails from "neutral" and "liberal" friends alike who range from "miffed" to "pissed off" - and the UN providing the venue is getting the blame. They expected Chavez to be, well, Chavez - but they are unhappy about this outrageous display under the auspicies of the UN.

Every time the UN hosts one of these anti-Israel or anti-US hatefests or bitchfests, they lose another percentage point or two of US support. This was a big one, from the chatter.

BTW, the pictures of the Bahraini GA President snickering and laughing was, I believe, what set most of my friends off. It was taken as supportive of Chavez's remarks, and it probably was. She hurt her cause more than she can imagine.

Faster, please.

#7 Faster, please

Well, we've had Ahmanutjob and Chavez come over here to display their arrogance, immaturity, and ignorance in front of the whole world and awaken/sway American opinion against their causes in a big way, too! And hopefully the EU and other countries who are in harms way and haven't figured it out are getting an inkling after thinking about it for a few days.

I'll mention the Pope's masterful stroke down here because he is in a class of his own and I don't even want him mentioned in the same paragraph as the previous two.

Bush is starting to talk. Elections are being fought, and I even heard rumor that Pelosi even came to Bush's defense (on a fairly safe subject of course, but it might break the ice!).

Seems pretty quick to me!

But yes, the sooner the planet figures it out, the less pain there will be and fewer innocent lives lost if/when we actually get around to dealing with it.

In the meanwhile, stock up on food, water, medicine, and popcorn. :-)

#10 A UN investigator on acts of xenophobia and racism on Thursday called Pope Benedict XVI's remarks on Islam "profoundly troubling."

Ah, yes... "xenophobia"-- as if there could possibly be anything more emphatically and institutionally xenophobic than Islam itself.

Anybody remember the UN's "World Conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", that weeklong anti-Israel, anti-America hatefest in Durban, South Africa that finished up its filthy business a few days before 9/11? The one where all the Arab nations expressed their "deep concern" about xenophobia by circulating cartoon caricatures of hook-nosed Jews from Der Stürmer?

As I watched the Twin Towers fall, I said to someone, "This is 'Durban By Other Means.'"

Get rid of the UN. It is on the side of evil.

#12 gromgoru, unfortunately they own the piece of real estate they are currently infesting on Manhattan. The Rockefellers gave them the land back in the 50's. We can't evict them from land they own. Our laws don't work that way, unless somehow we get a creative interpretation of the Kelo decision we could use. (Personally, I think the area would be better served by a shopping mall, but it would cause a bit of an international incident, and we are a touch busy right now with other matters.)

As for the funding, well, they think we still owe them over a billion dollars. If they keep this crap up, we just might start "deducting" money from the checks once again. The Japanese are doing it, and if we started doing it again, I think it would go over mighty well with the voters.....

And paid quite handsomely I might add, not to mention the first floor koffee shop and cocktail bar.

#14 Folks, lighten up. I have no more use for the UN than most of you, but it is providing a wonderful forum for idiots to embarass themselves. Can you imagine the worldwide outrage if America told the UN to take hike. Bush the Cowboy magnified 100x. It really would make diplomatic manoevering difficult and the MSM would send the wrong message.

Instead, we now have Democrats defending the Republican president in an election year! Thank you, Pelosi and Rangel, the RNC could not buy that publicity. Now about the Boulton nomination...

Cost of UN: $1 billion
Cost of election: $200 million
Cost of Pelosi support: Priceless.

#17 It's been said before, but it bears repeating. Keep your enemies close, and your friends closer.

Besides, kicking the UN out of New York doesn't go nearly far enough. The UN is broken beyond repair, and the only effective measure the US could take would be to leave the UN and start a League of Democracies. Except we might need a different name to avoid association with the failed League of Nations. How about United Democracies, to highlight the difference?

If we don't have the fortitiude and conviction to do that, then we may as well keep the whole circus right where it is, where we can keep tabs on it.

#19 And by "highlight the difference" I meant highlight the difference between the impotence of the United Nations as it exists now and the potential power of a united group of democracies.

#25 There was a time when I would read certain quotes from “Human Rights Experts” and ask myself… That doesn’t even make any sense…What is it that I don't understand? Then after parsing their illogical positions I began to believe that some of these people are either basic cretins or perhaps logically-impaired. However, it has become clear to me that these people simply don’t care if their arguments make sense or not. Their mission has become (or perhaps always was) intentionally ambiguous. With arrogance and contempt they have decided that principle, facts, and logic are secondary to promoting their ulterior agendas. Not only is it troubling but it is also very offensive. Unfortunately, anyone who attempts to expose their charade is also instantly labled a xenophobe, bigot, or whatever new term they come up with.

#26 Actually, I thought the Pope's words about Islam and violence were rather weak . . . compared to what I'd say.

#28 One counter to antiwestern UN or AI propaganda is to use their techniques against them. Create thinktanks to ankle bite and criticize any and all shortcomings with flashy news conferences and press releases. Introduce to the press first hand accounts from those who are really being oppressed and killed while juxtaposed against UN and AI inaction, dinner party menus and guest lists.

#29 ed, you have highlighted what I consider to be one of this administration's greatest self-inflicted shortcomings. The opportunities have been simply endless. The atrocities, the hypocrisy, the duplicity, the broken promises, the barbarity, the gratuitous self-serving. All of it represents prime material to expose how corrupt and vile these regimes and religious tyrants are.

Instead, the oval office is relatively mute. The "Axis of Evil" was a fine start, but just like any good storybook, illustrations are half the tale. Islam and its facilitators should have been laid out to scorch in the disinfecting sunlight long, long ago.

#33 A couple of quotes my dear old mom used to tell me applies here. The first is "you get what you give". Second was "Do unto others". Both seem to apply here to these muzzie ass politicos. Unfortunately they will not learn their lesson.

The Pope knew exactly what he was saying and what would happen.

#34 Right, Pan.
The Pope knows what was told to the children of Fatima, one of which is still alive today. They were told things that hadn't happened yet, but would happen like the second WW and about these times as well. I'm figurin' that the Pope knows that we're going to splash the muzzies real good. If he knew otherwize, he would act differently. He is rather content to do Pope like things rather than get involved with summit meetings and such. So, I conclude that we will smite the muzzies in a few years or months. Such things are best known and not shared.

#35 Also, back when I was in the 4th grade, about 1951, the nun told us that the Mohammedeans (that's what they called them then) were bent on forcing us all to become Mohammedeans. I wonder how a 4th grade teacher got that tidbit of opinion ? Maybe because secrets often make the rounds, and some of the Vatican insiders leaked.
I have remembered her words all my life because she was truely serious about it. She must have figured that we would still be alive so she should give us a heads up.
By these things we shall recognize the end times.
