1. K&R!

although you wouldn't know it as I started with a negative number :)

[avaistheone1]

2. Well thank you.

Thanks for putting the thread in the positive.

:hi:

3. k & r, and here's the rest of the video

I caught this on C-SPAN just by chance, and was glad I did. Big fan here. She has a nice way of staying on track of what matters, even when the callers to the show don't. Also she did a great job of handling some pretty out-there callers.

For those that have time, it's worth looking at the whole thing, 29 minutes.

5. Posted link is to a June 2009 C-Span show...

not the Nov. 26 show from which this segment was snipped. Is there another link to the Nov 26 show? Which is what I thought your post meant to link to: i.e., "the rest of the video." Confused, I am...

10. Sorry, here's the correct link

I was the confused one, doing things in too much of a hurry. Here's the correct link.

http://cspan.org/Watch/Media/2009/11/26/HP/A/26529/Washington+Journal+Entire+Program.aspx

Jane starts at 1:33 (that's one hour 33 minutes) into the 3 hour program. She's on through 2:17:30, total of 44 minutes.

I love Jane! What is the justification for staying over there, indeed? Completely ridiculous.

6. Get this

The world is in flames because Bush and Cheney chose to light it all up. Nineteen men with razor blades attacked us and they decided that waging war upon the entire world was the best way to pay them back and imitate justice. Obama is carrying the whole sick operation forward, because he is a coward -- he is deathly afraid of the prospects of challenging the powerful Zionist war lobby that made him what he is today.

Who are we fighting, Obama? Do you even know who the enemy is? :wow:

8. Maybe if we offered to buy uniforms for Al Quida

That way we could spot those we're supposedly looking for! Hey, we've wasted funds on lots dumber things!

[dreamnightwind]

11. Great idea.

To save tax payer money, we could get Target to sponsor them, with their logo prominently displayed on the uniforms.

17. I like it!

9. Zionist war lobby ? WTF ??

Is that the new hate speech code for "Jew Lobby"?

And you managed to disparage a Black President at the same time.

I find your remarks utterly offensive and I find people who utter hate speech like yours utterly offensive as well.

[avaistheone1]

12. Yes, we must not criticize the Zionists no matter what they do in

Gaza or Palestine.

Likewise we should not criticize a Black President, no matter what he does because after all he is the Black President.

:wtf:

13. Take your Hate Speech Somewhere Else...

Maybe a nice Reight Wing blog where it will be appreciated.
Everyone her knows that "Zionist" is just hate speech code for "Jews".

I'm not even going to get into this with you .
You're a hatemonger .
You don't deserve discourse - only scorn.

Thanks for hijacking an otherwise great thread,
I hope other DUers stand up for minorities and Alert these two messages as I have.

[avaistheone1]

14. Calling out the Zionists for their persecution of Palestinians is not hate speech.

You are the hater not me if you condone the behavior of the Zionists. I will not condone the genocide of the Palestinians by the Zionists. You do.

You think you can act like a bully and try to intimidate me. Well it won't work. If you don't like my opinions than fucking ignore them. I have every right to state them, and most of the world agrees with what I have stated.

Oh btw is your comment "Reigt Wing" blog a slur?

:crazy:

[Techn0Girl]

15. Using "Zionists' as a code word for Jews IS Hate Speech ...

and I hope other DUers press "alert" on your messages as I have .

I'm not going to debate with you because you don't deserve the credibility.

You're taking pages right out of the Neo-nazi talking points.
Jews are committing genocide.
Jews are the cause of the mis-east wars

What next ? Jews are the cause of the banking failures? I'm sure that's next.

Too many of my family died because of hate speech like yours and your Stormfront buddies.

[avaistheone1]

16. The only one who has spoken of Jews and Jew lobbies is you.

You started at your post# 9 and continued to do so.

Do you always alert the moderators regarding your own pathetic performance?

You took a page right out of this book. Or is this another of your starring roles?

18. You really have no idea what you are talking about -

accusing people of using the term zionist as some form of racism is the height, the absolute pinnacle of ignorance.
I hope you take the time to question your understanding of the world and the realities of things - you are quite simply totally wrong.
You have a belief structure in place which you have inherited and never questioned - you are living in a constructed fantasy, a walled garden,
one which was built for you and you have simply never taken the time to question.

It is time you did - the people on this site, and any other liberal minded, free thinking site, or even country anywhere in the civilised world
would simply laugh at your position. If you wish to have some semblance of credibility - start reading. Edward Said might be a good start - or even
one of your most famous Jewish Intellectuals in Noam Chomsky - or his he a racist too.
