Al Jazeera (What is Arabic for meeeeeeoooooowwwwwwww?)

Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east - Al Jazeera. Even Alister Campbell aplogist for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech.

So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on. And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied by freedom loving democracies got to fear from free sppech

See Ya

[roses of sharon]

Is this from the "Onion"?

[Mark Felton]

What an ignorant comment.


No broadcast entity that promotes the overthrow of a government, encourages violence or promotes the messages of enemies of the State should be allowed to brodcast. They should be in jail.

You do not have that freedom here. Al Jazeera does not deserve that freedom in Iraq.

[paulcissa]

10, 9, 8, 7...... where's the kitties?

[CONSERVE]

zot

[Lexington Green]

Al Jazeera is not the press... it is a terrorist propaganda agency... and a legitimate miltary target.

[MartinRidley]

What does Se Ya mean? Express yourself alittle clearer

[sinclair]

Did I make it to a ZOT before the Zot???

[VxH]

zzzzzzzzot

[nuconvert]

How come you now have a "meeeeeeoooooowwwwwwww?" in your title? ;~ )

[Godzilla]

Big difference between real news (protected) and islamoterrorist propaganda (not protected). Bye bye.

[BJungNan]

I don't know what meeeeowwww is in Arabic but in parts of China its dinner.

[CONSERVE]

It means that people who come to Free Republic sign up and immediately start posting idiotic post usually don't last long.

[reagan_fanatic]

And another turd circles the rim...

[sneakers]

Same here! I hope they let us play with the zot awhile!

[Repairman Jack]

Is English your second or third language?

You're a piss-poor writer and your spelling and grammar is worse than the average public school graduate.

Why don't you go visit your boyfriend a$$hole? Your stupidity deserves no more than 2 lines.

[Chieftain]

Buh-bye!

[Crazieman]

You would let Goebbels broadcast on TV if there was TV back then?

[sneakers]

Judging from your poorly-written post, I would guess that you are not the brightest bulb in the package!

[The SISU kid]

In before the ZOT!

[Old Sarge]

Nothing needs further...

You Are Being Hunted.

[jktulsaok]

A friend of mine recently returned from Iraq saying that Al Jezeera often made it to the scene of dead American Soldiers before the Americans did. He went on to say that it is common knowledge amongst our troops that Al Jezeera is the mouthpiece for and insrument of the insurgency. I don't know if this is all true or not but he was there I haven't been

[Shryke]

Martin, what is your real first name please? And religious persuasion?

[watsonfellow]

To all denizens of Free Republic who joined before today.

Meet Mr. Ridley.

Mr. Ridley, meet everyone.

That being written, let me be the first to apologize for the boorish behavior and postings of some "freepers". Let me assure you that this does not reflect the majority of the views here. Let me further say that we are currently "redoubling" our efforts to ensure a smooth and civil transition for new members.

That being written.

GET THE F*&^ off this site you lousy twit!

To all denizens of Free Republic who joined before today.

Say bye bye to Mr. Ridley!

Stand down from Code Zot!

[Repairman Jack]

Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom

Do not capitalize "freedom."

supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east

Do capitalize "Middle East."

- Al Jazeera.

al Jazeera.

Even Alister Campbell aplogist

apologist

for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech.

Logical fallacy called "appeal to authority." You do not support your own argument, but rather appeal to the opinion of one you consider an authority.

So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom

Again, it's lower-case "freedom."

for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on.

You actually managed to create a run-on sentence fragment. Read that again in its entirety.

So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on.

See? Makes no sense as written.

And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi

You mean "Iraq."

what has an emerging democracy ocuupied

"Occupied."

by freedom loving democracies

"freedom-loving democracies" - you hyphenate compound modifiers.

got to fear from free sppech

You mean "speech." And you should end questions with a question mark.

[SandyInSeattle]

Next?

[fritzz]

Martin, what is your real first name please? And religious persuasion?

Doesn't matter. This is a liberal view point, too

[Faraday]

I'm afraid we might lose the right to "free sppech" (as you so elegantly put it) if morons such as yourself ever had enough sense to put together a winning political movement. Fortunately, that's not in the cards.

[Jet Jaguar]

[Shryke]

I agree. However, I wanted to determine if "Martin" had the sack to admit who and what he really was.

[Jeff Gordon]

It is God's Will. Don't talk to us about this problem talk to Allah.

[Jet Jaguar]

[Calpernia]

[Arrowhead1952]

Troll alert. Must be a horrible day at DU.

[fritzz]

If you can get just a grunt after they post, you are the Freeper.

[wolicy_ponk]

Bye.

[nuconvert]

LOL

[UK David]

Of course! For visitors to 'free republic' you lot seem rather unconcerned about issues of freedom of speech and the press. There are plenty of people like Goerring who broadcast crap on the internet or tv, the point is that no one listens to them. In the UK we really believe people should be able to say what they like, just as others can condemn what they say. I cannot believe I am visiting an American website that doesn't believe in freedom of speech. Are you all secretly stalinists?

[nuconvert]

So, taking all these mistakes into account, what grade would you give to Martin on this essay attempt?

[Recovering Hermit]

And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied by freedom loving democracies got to fear from free sppech...

Huh?

[Crazieman]

Whoa, the trolls are everywhere today!

[aft_lizard]

No zot yet?

Good Iget my chance to get a dig in.

Dear Troll:

Have you been watching Dan Rather and CBS lately? Is this your
idea of a free press?

Signed a concerned lizard

[Repairman Jack]

Pretty low grade on substance.

(And I only lord poor writing and spelling over whinging liberals, since they have this delusion of intellectual superiority.)

[sauropod]

Yeah, right. Don't you Limeys have "speech [or is that "sppech"] laws?"

[MeekOneGOP]

ha!

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[aft_lizard]

Wow the trolls are coming out of the wood work.


Dear Troll,

Sorry we had to meet under these circumstance, I understand how liberalism effects your mental faculties, maybe some day you and others from across the pond will realize the error of your ways and will shake off the debilitating shackles of socialism and liberalism.

Sincerely a concerned lizard.

[sauropod]

Oh, man! Already?
