"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."

Isn't funny that the primitives have latched onto Al Jazeera? Its a perfect match.
They both hate Israel and America.
They both side with and write excuses for terrorists.
And they both have a hidden agenda of violence.
And both islam and DU have a foundation of insanity.

Both Islam and DU have ties to pedophilia.

Anti-American ****s.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

1) Does that mean Arab nations are morally obligated to carry US stations?

2) The internet allows anyone to see whatever they want so there is no censorship so long as the government stays out of it.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Kind of ironic that this is coming from the idiots that want to censor Fox, Rush, Hannity, Beck and others.

Gee, I can't imagine why no one watches terrorist propaganda after the ****s killed 3,000 of our citizens!

Too bad you weren't in the Trade Towers when they hit the ground, ya un-American, traitorous prick!

I guess it's a damn good thing I don't live amongst these ****in' traitors! They ain't worth goin' to the horizontal bar motel for!
I'm the guy your mother warned you about!

It's like the whole mosque/church thing.  We get Al Jazeera over here, and no US stations are allowed over there.   :-)

Out of curiosity, I perused the All Jizz English web site. The comments there on news and opinion pieces are from the same anti-American trash bastards we see at DU every day. Those scum love everyone but their own country.

Say, hey, and by the way, the anti-Semitism is the same, too. Big surprise, huh?

There is an Al Jazeera channel on the air in DC.

racist – A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says “Racist!” has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying “Resign” during a chess game, or “Uncle” during a schoolyard fight. Ori
