Real question here is: If Robert Fisk had an anti-American dinner party would you attend? My guess is you'd dress up in your finest.

Has Fisk actually written anything anti-American? Given that his articles are all the rage among the Islam-Firsters, I would dearly love to see an article that's anti-American. It would provide substantial ammunition to discredit his Jew-hating articles which people like tex-oma and ObjetD'art probably adore.

That would put a crimp in their style, wouldn't it?

His tirades lately have been anti-American. There was one he had just recently which if you did a search on is the same kind of America bashing as the one below. Notice texo's good feelings about Fisk too.

'Everything we have believed in since the Second World War goes
by the board as we pursue our own exclusive war'

                               We are becoming war criminals in Afghanistan. The US Air Force
                               bombs Mazar-i-Sharif for the Northern Alliance, and our heroic
                               Afghan allies - who slaughtered 50,000 people in Kabul between
                               1992 and 1996 - move into the city and execute up to 300 Taliban
                               fighters. The report is a footnote on the television satellite channels,
                               a "nib" in journalistic parlance. Perfectly normal, it seems. The
                               Afghans have a "tradition" of revenge. So, with the strategic
                               assistance of the USAF, a war crime is committed! .....(read more from Fisk's anti-American rant and Jihad supporting diatribe - http://www.islamweb.net/english/Article.asp?Article=2644)

Now let's see what tex-oma thinks of his/her hero Robert Fisk :

Couldn't have happened to a Nicer Guy...Robert Fisk Again

Small quote from the article:"Does anyone else find this story a little fishy? Granted, Fisk is notoriously anti-American and has written a lot of stupid and obnoxious things since Sept. 11. But this just seems outside the realm of normal human experience. Can someone really be so blinded by hatred that he cheers on an assault on himself because the assailants are motivated by the same hatred that animates their victim? We suppose it's possible, but color us skeptical."
