Scarboro program was shameful tonight. So one-sided. No wonder
Edited on Mon Jul-17-06 08:40 PM by cantstandbush
US citizens are so ignorant of ME history and issues.

One guest even suggested that the US should be grateful to Israel for going after Hezbollah? Is Hexbollah at war with the US? They even suggested that Syria may have the WMDs not found in Iraq. Gee. Notice how the entire act of Israel has been re-framed from getting their soldiers back to destroying Hezbollah (and Lebanon in the process.)

7. I've been watching Larry King tonight
I'm very surprised that he's actually had spokesmen on from Hezbollah and Hamas presenting their side of the argument. You almost never see that point of view presented on television.

6. That's Why I Turn MSNBC Off At 8:59 PM EST.
Soon as Keith signs off, so do I. Don't need to waste time listening to the garbage that follows, or precedes. It's on for exactly 1 hour, and that's it.

9. That was slimeball Kudlow. Buchanan had to chuckle at some of his
ridiculous comments.

10. I heard the guy you're referring to
I was cooking in the other room and my husband left Scarborough on after Keith's show. It was vile. Just wild accusations without any basis at all. This is pure junk "journalism". Who are these people on these shows? They're not credible. They offer no background or facts for their crazy talk.
That guy was out of the Ann Coulter "just say it" school of flame throwers.
This is beyond dumbed down. This is least common denominator television. American Idol is culture compared to this drivel.

11. Really Hezbollah started using a new al Qaeda tool of war on Israel
in hopes of ending any move to peace. And Israelis have reacted with overwhelming force. Very predictable that when the West put the screws to Hamas... financially..there would be a war between the dying days of terrorism and Israel.

Perfect timing for the election in the USA.

Meanwhile... many die.. Including a family of 7 the day before yesterday. And what happens to that gentle peace in Lebannon? How come the UN didn't sit Iran and Saudi Arabia down and hammer out how they would replace the aid to Palestine months ago? Instead.. Iran just left to keep on funding Hezbollah.

Seems there must be much war before there is peace in the minds of the neocons. Pro-active peace or pre-emptive peace is a lost concept!
