Okay, let's talk those polls that are at least 5-10 years old, and didn't take in a good portion of the Muslim world, and showed that 40-80% of the Muslim world did not like bin Laden. Yeah, due to those deficiencies, no, I don't think bin Laden represents all Muslims. Didn't then, don't now. Do I think the Al Quaeda terrorists are beyond worth rotting forever in hell? (can't really think of words bad enough) Absolutely. Does that have anything to do with the rest of - the vast majority of - the Muslim community around the world? Not in my view.

I don't know that a politician's religion is necessarily significant.

Yet this country is tearing itself apart and ginning up the hate over the value - or lack of it - in being Muslim. Replace the word Muslim with Jew and see how it reads. Oh, wait! "Jews" didn't kill 3000 Americans. Well, neither did "Muslims".

Who are you arguing with? Nobody on this board said that Bin-Laden represents all Muslims. We're all on the same page with you. Nobody thinks Bin-Laden represents all Muslims. Nobody has ever said that he represents all or most Muslims. Even when his popularity was sky-high, he probably wasn't much higher than a 50% approval rate or so.

Except I would never claim I was the worlds smartest person, I think very little is inconceivable, and I would definitely not read/watch "Princess Bride".

As I said before, it certainly doesn't look very good. I think it is a mistake in terms of public relations.

What is standard practice? Have other news organizations donated money to political parties? As I said before, I believe that Ted Turner used to donate a lot of money to political causes but I don't know if he ever did it with company money.

If you don't know about the movie, then you're worse off than I thought

That's what happens when you inbreed for centuries. Those are the idiots that Obama threw his integrity away for. Broke a well known promise to help these brilliant folks (and burn all bridges with Armenians in this country.) They really think kicking that horse will get him up?

So, I think people who want to think he's Moslem do have something to base it on. You really have to wonder why a man would choose to simply break a promise like he did. There are many more Armenian Americans than Turk Americans (Genocide produced that.) Hilary said they did it to get better relations between Turkey and Armenia. A 6 year old could have predicted that won't happen until Armenia gets out of the area of Azerbajian they invaded when Russia ran off. Turkey has gone against obama on Israel, and voted against sanctions to punish Iran. Other Presidents have refused to stand up for genocide recognition, but this one promised he would stand up in favor of it. If people think he's secretly a Moslem, he's not doing much to help change their minds.

the Murdoch contribution was very public, but lets not forget that up and down the line, ALL of the other media companies donate full tilt to the Democrats. generally its in the form of personal contributions but nonetheless if you add it all up its a large number.

In addition, if you were to estimate the value of the on-air in-kind support that the MSM offers for the progressive agenda, you'd find a staggering number. If you had to pay for the ridiculous ass kissing that goes on every day it would be a pretty penny.

Yes, that is exactly right. Approximately 90% of the mainstream media idenitifies themselves as liberal democrats. But I guess that doesn't make any difference. I guess the the 90% of journalists that are liberal stay totally objective and don't allow their bias to affect their reporting. But the 10% of journalists that are republicans are not objective at all. They are totally biased and they let their bias affect their reporting.

Why don't you pull some historical figures from one of the watchdog websites?
You know, show us all how true that is.
