Did CAIR ever denounce the jihadist music videos that cheered the 9-11 attacks and called for the murder of Bush and Blair?

You sure like commie songs. I haven't heard the Draft Dodger Blues, but I am familiar with Country Joe, getting a juvenile laugh out of his song at the age of 10 or so. I don't think they are all that clever, they are just vulgar in the way that elites like their humor--direct slams on their enemies with name calling and exaggerated claims, instead of with wit and truth.

The Right Brothers song "Bush was Right" is much funnier. All of Paul Shanklin's songs are much funnier. Conservatives like PJ O'Rourke are much funnier than polemicists like Garrison Keillor, who wouldn't know subtlety if it tickled him on the ear.

This song is pretty good, it's in the nature of a talent show at a High School, not a professional musician putting something out for sale. Main thing is, Arab terrorist supporters like CAIR should not be attacking our guys for making fun of the enemy. That's what we do in wars.

CAIR's denunciations of any terrorist actions have been conspicuous in their absence, or muddled by weasel words about the root cause.

Humm, how to say this politely?

Country Joe, Draft Dodger Blues, et al - one type of music; Dirka, Dirka, etc is another kind. The young man was clever in his way/music.

BTW, I usually listen to cats like Mozart, Vivaldi, Glenn Miller, oh, and Buck Owens.

This is not even good lip synch.

The article says that youtube pulled the video. However, CAIR is still carrying it, and I linked CAIR's web site above.

The audio and the video are not synced, but it looks like the singer and the words go together, they are just a couple seconds apart. This happens sometimes when videos formats are converted.

Where is Mary Mapes?

This video is a fake.

The audio doesn't match the video at all. Even allowing for some synch slip, his mouth is not anywhere near forming the words that are supposedly coming out of it.

This happens all of the time when islamists attempt to put out fake propaganda. Although I do have fun watching some of it. These cretins can not even do a decent job of spoofing still images and audio. Mix it up with motion video and multi-language support, throw in captioning and a PID stream, and these sand maggots that claim to invent mathematics can not even convince a blind mute that it is original.

Right - it was funny. Just shows how bloodthirsty the jihadist are
- kill their own to try and take down a Marine (although I can't imagine
a real Marine hiding behind a child)

How come CAIR isn't upset that the singer portrayed the father
and brother as terrorists - oh right, that would be too hard too believe

And besides that, ... Doesn't the Guitar in the audio sound more like an electric, rather than an acoustic that the guy is holding & strumming?

I'm far from an expert on guitar sounds, (never been a huge music fan), but it sure sounds like it to me.

I suppose it is possible it is a fake. I wonder if a musician can look at the guitar chords being played and see if they correspond to the tune. If so, it is probably just a sync issue. It appeared to me that he was saying the words being sung, they just were a few seconds off. Where is the Mapes patrol?

Good afternoon.
"I am familiar with Country Joe, getting a juvenile laugh out of his song at the age of 10 or so."

I had the album that had the Fish Cheer on it on a reel-to-reel tape. That song will always bring Vietnam to mind.

The tape was stolen but I found it again while hitching a ride to Saigon.

Country Joe is a worthless Leftist, but that song means something to some veterans that he didn't intend for it to. The songs of Jimi Hendrix the former paratrooper, or Love, the Junkies fit right in for me, as well. Every war needs it's music, eh.

In real life yes. In a song written by a guy sitting in 120 degree heat, bathing once a week, frustrated by IEDs and stringent ROE's, it is a release. Maybe he assumed that the hadjis wouldn't shoot him if he went behind their daughter, then found out otherwise.

I still suspect that it wasn't really done by marines. A much likelier scenario if the Marines were writing/performing the song would be that when the jihadis shoot at him rather than using the girl as a shield he would push her out of the way, drop to the ground and roll and come up shooting the jihadis.

Arizona Republic cartoonist Steve Benson caricatures the symbol of the US Marine Corps and gets more than he bargained for.

Outrageous! How these people maintain jobs is beyond me. They hate America and all it stands for.

Speaking of commie songs. I saw two albums of US protester songs from the 1970s. Songs about support for VC in Vietnam, a brewery's striking labor union, support for Palestine, etc. Summed up the PC left.

A couple things I observed:

(A) The audio and video were notably out of synch for me on playback. Can someone resynch them and let us know if they even are an original pair? Or is this an overdub?

(B) As noted the "Dirka Dirka Mohammed jihad" refrain is from Team America. Without the Dirka Dirka, the line would not get a laugh. If Bush suddenly announced he was "The king of my domain", there would be laughs too (at least from those who watch Seinfeld).

(C) I notice that CAIR is hosting this video on YouTube. If CAIR believes it to be hate filled, then report the violation to YouTube. I imagine that they would be opposed to hosting hate filled videos on their site.

I see from the AP article, they say that YouTube "removed" the video. Maybe but CAIR's link is to an active posting of the YouTube hosted video.

Click on the Share link if you doubt it...
