'Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists," President George Bush told the world after September 11 2001, and he has made it clear ever since that he means it. But in that black and white universe, where do you put Josh Rushing?
Rushing is a blue-eyed son of Texas, a marine for all his adult life whose clean-cut friendly charm made him the ideal public face for the US military during the Iraq invasion. But he has now joined the Arab television channel al-Jazeera as an "on-screen personality", a move which, in the eyes of many Americans, is one step short of signing up with al-Qaida.
.......................................................
In joining al-Jazeera's forthcoming English-language service, Rushing points out that he is in good journalistic company. He will be surrounded by former BBC employees, including Sir David Frost. But they are Europeans and journalists, two species generally associated with perfidy in the minds of the American right. Rushing is an American and a marine. For many conservatives here, he has joined a pantheon of turncoats alongside Benedict Arnold (who switched to the British side halfway through the war of independence) and "Tokyo Rose" (who broadcast for the Japanese in the second world war).
The conservative blogs hum with bile. The comments on freerepublic.com include: "He was crap to begin with - he stinks even worse now. He is no longer an American". Another writes: "He is a leftist, terrorist sympathiser who infiltrated the US marines. Now he is home". A third adds: "I sure hope he don't have some kinda accident or sumtin [sic] ..."

Big ole bump!
I can't believe David Frost is going to work for Al-Jazeera. These people are idiots, they should bother to read their website. The stuff they put on their is awful - it makes the Guardian look good.
I seen that fellar last night on H&C..
He won't last long., imo.
Damn we are good LOL! Freepers mention at Guardian COOL LOL!

Oh and BTW.....Dear Guradian Lurkers....you suck !
(can the Queen take back his knighthood?)

I don't think so. She could imprison him for treason though. Could make a good exhibition for the Tower of London.
I am not sure that I would want to see the Tower sullied with his carcass there.. I have been there twice I like it how it is... :)
Oh and BTW.....Dear Guardian Lurkers....you suck !

Ping!
True....we have made it beyond National mention... We have pissed off lefties worldwide!!!!
They could renovate the Torture chamber to fit him in or maybe just put him in the stocks and let tourists throw rotten food matter at him.
Going back to the Queen I don't think so I think John Lennon gave back his MBE back in da day and some people did
Only if David Frost dont' want it anymore ole Queen Betty can't do anything about it I remember when Freepers were quote in Japanese article over Dan Rather scandel that pretty cool LOL!
It figures The Guardian would pick FR posts that have incorrect grammar, think Frost is an American and go on a rant. It reminds me of how the MSM selects snipets of quotes from President Bush & then spends so much time giving the Democratic response.
(And I’m going to try to run my post through Word first for spelling & grammar errors.)
LMAO !.........Stay safe !
LOL!!!!!!
What cable provider is going to carry this channel?
I know if my cable provider decides to carry it, I will be getting rid of my cable.
Al Jazeera isn`t going to make it in the US, no matter what kind of spin they put on it.
As for this Rushing fellow, he will reap what he sows. If he wants to step in a pile, he will have to clean his own shoes. If I were him, I wouldn`t want to become too famous as an Al Jazeera reporter in this country. It would be kind of like walking around with a big white-hood over your head at UC- Berkeley .
AW yeah I doubt David Frost would give it back he probably arrogrant little leftist no wonder why sistera like Diahron Carroll dump his his Brit wimp a**
