Reply #21: Certainly. But Nasrallah, who lit the fire, was NOT. [View All]

What does that have to do with the unelected sec-gen and al-Manar?? And it's a fair stretch of the legs from Lebanon to Palestine. Last time I checked, no Hamas politicians sat in the Lebanese legislature. I make a point about one thing, and always, it seems, a bunch of other shit gets tossed in the mix, along with a great big whine about democracy.

You could say that since many of the GOP legislators in America were elected without shenanigans, that somehow makes the stolen presidential elections OK....since the GOP legislators were elected, we should eat the 2000 presidential result and not complain, because Bush actually got more votes than Nasrallah ever did.

And, FWIW, the "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" in France have also banned al-Manar. That should give you a clue as to their programming.

And, to correct misimpressions cited above, al-Manar has been banned in the US for a couple of years. So why the faux outrage all of a sudden? They found a guy who has been breaking a US law that has been in place since Dec, 2004, and they yanked the guy up short.
