195. Way to go, trot out that pathetic, thin, spindly strawman yet again.
Does Faux air music videos every fifteen minutes with a theme of DEATH TO (Blacks/Gays/Democrats, name your poison)? Does CNN? Do they have children's programming portraying their hated groups as cruel animals? Do they broadcast martyrdom videos of their acolytes saying fond farewells before they prance off to murder?

Where, pray tell, is the ACLU if this is happening? The NAACP? The ABA? Is everyone asleep, cowed by the mighty Faux and CNN?

Your argument, dare I say, is up-to-the-gills full of steaming, fetid crap. At least one-third of their programming? Get off it. You pulled that figure straight out of your nether regions. And it was a very lame pull, too, might I say. A pull of desperate proportions, ungrounded by pesky, uncomfortable, brutal fact.

You can't compare the odd blurtings of those bastards, which are greeted by justifiable outrage from decent people who object to their hatred, to the round-the-clock 'kill videos' of al-Manar, no matter how desperately you grasp at straws.

And there you go again, using false statistics to prop up a Two Wrongs Make a Right argument. Well, if THEY do it (and they do not call for murder every fifteen minutes) then it MUST be OK!!!

You have two choices. You can either do a little research, perhaps click on some of the links in this thread and read what is written there, and realize that al-Manar is an outfit that exhorts people to kill Jews, or you can continue to blindly support the presently illegal broadcasting of al-Manar, which means, indirectly, that you have no problem with their hate-filled message. The latter option should disturb you.
