FREEP Foxnews for giving forum to New Black Panther Party!

Foxnews just showed a speech by a New Black Panther Party official who called our war against Afghanistan a war against Islam, and blamed Bush for the September 11 attacks. Foxnews should not be giving a forum to such blatantly false propoganda. Our media should not be purposely undermining the war effort. We can't let what the media did in Vietnam happen again in Afghanistan!

Email Foxnews at comments@foxnews.com and tell them you don't appreciate their attempts to undermine the war effort.

[Cold Heat]

I agree with some of the posters who believe Fox is exposing this behavior and not giving a forum.

[Neets]

The poster up there almost sounds like Malik Shabazz himself:

ADL Article "Counseling Hate"

Hannity/Colmes transcript

[Neets]

So very true....no need to sweep this kind of rhetoric under the carpet. Expose these Anti-Americans for what they are.

[falfa]

Note that on the website for the Black Panthers, they totally disavow the "New Black Panthers."

[Cuban123]

YEAH, LET GO FREEP FOX NEWS AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT LET'S CALL IN THE NATIONAL REVIEW TO PROTEST OVER THE ANN COULTER INCIDENT AND LET'S EMAIL AND TRY TO SHUT DOWN DRUDGE REPORT WHO HAS HAD A COUPLE ERRORS IN REPORTING, OH AN DON'T FORGET RUSH LIMBAUGH WHO IN 1999 SAID BUSH WAS NOT A REAL CONSERVATIVE. LET'S DO THIS AND AFTER WE ARE DONE LET'S GO WATCH PAULA ZAHN ON CNN...REMEMBER YOU CAN DEPEND ON C...N...N..

GESH, FREEP CNN OVER THEIR DAILY TRASH

[Cuban123]

the commentary above was PURE SARCASM (I FORGOT TO MENTION IT :0(

[bootless]

Wow - that's some transcript. Hats off to Hannity AND Colmes, and to the transcriptionist. I would have ripped off my headset and thrown it against the wall in frustration.

"And since Bush got into office, nothing but tragedy, nothing but confusion. And we cannot say that there's no connection."

Ah, the confusion of causality. The weakest of arguments.

[Neets]

People need to PAY ATTENTION to this stuff...to sweep it under the carpet does a huge disservice to the men and women fighting for our homeland and the safety thereof.

This is just one of many groups belonging to the bigger group of anti-americans under the banner of the Answer network run by one Ramsey Clark. Their goals are all the same.

And to not BRING ATTENTION to their actions, their rhetoric and their MESSAGE is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

[Neets]

I would like to know why, if you consider America to be such a terroist country, are you still here? I am sure you could find someplace else to live more to your liking.

[wcbtinman]

The BPP is entitled to their opinion, just like you are. They just show themselves for the ignorant, misguided jerks they are.

The headline should read: Black Panther Party provides comedy relief on FOX!

Of course, if they did this back in my old Georgia neighborhood, they might not make it out of town in one piece.

[Neets]

Oh, never mind. I can answer that question for you.

You stay here because this country, land of the free, and home of the brave, allows you by it's constitution to spew whatever rhetoric you so desire. You are FREE here to say whatever bile you so desire. That's why you stay here. You know full well no other country would tolerate the message you are spewing were it to be against that country.

You should kiss the ground you walk on here in America, rather than spit on it with your vile words and actions.

[Cuban123]

btw, the message was for the original poster NOT texasaggie79

[Neets]

Understood, as well as the sarcasm.

What you said. I couldn't have written it better.

[Nate505]

Big deal, in fact, when people see what loons they are, their credibility goes even more downhill....if the KKK came out against Afghanistan, for some bizarre reason, it wouldn't bother me if they let them talk once or twice to expose them for the nuts they are as well. However, if FNC gives the Panters a lot of air time, then that would be a problem...

[Nate505]

First Amendment does not guarantee anybody a forum.

Absolutely correct. Many people forget this message. It also allows people to boycott if they feel like it. I don't think this is worthy of boycotting or showing any anger myself though....

Why should they get a national forum as opposed to, say, the Crips and the Bloods? The Panthers are just a gang of (mostly) black thugs who are clever enough to wrap themselves in a radical political message to get public attention.

Which is why they got the time, because they have a political message....the Crips and Bloods might talk about doing a drive-by, selling a kilo, or anything else their expertise is in.

Giving them national coverage may "expose" their true agenda to people smart enough to get it, but the sheeple will see it as legitimizing a bunch of hoodlums.

Even the sheeple can see the idiocy of the Black Panthers....groups too extreme never seem to be legitimized too much, at least now...

There are millions of equally idiotic points of view. Should they all get some air time because of the First Amendment?

Not unless it causes controversy anyway....

To which I can think of no more proper response that one you've seen me quote numerous times before, but it remains so that I have never seen it phrased better. Let them rant their heads off - that is their right, which we cannot afford to infringe - but let us keep from them the political means of depriving everybody else of the same right.</> - Frank Chodorov. True in 1949, and true today. Their words cannot destroy us. But it is not their words against which we ought to guard.

[BluesDuke]

NO Black organization has EVER been responsible for death, mutilations, torture, and rape. - Obviously, the New Black Panther Party knows but three things about the old Black Panther Party: jack, diddley, and squat...

[Neets]

But it is not their words against which we ought to guard.

True, true.
