Satan's been busy this year. Especially in British literary circles.

Ya know, this news bothers me about this much. Zero.

Are we supposed to act surprised?

[alloysteel]

Some 50 renowned British journalists, writers, and columnists in an opinion poll....

Who, exactly, anointed these "experts" as the ultimate authority on anything? And just how did they think that using their criteria, that anybody would meet their approval and be hailed as champions of truth and justice?

Perhaps, they are not all that dedicated to the principles of truth and justice. No matter how defined.

Since those anti-Semitic pinheads won't even use the word "Israel," why should anyone in the West even bother to talk to them?

This is not especially helpful. What these intellectual pinheads say has no particular significance to us, but it's likely to encourage the Muslims and make matters more difficult. Regretably it will help persuade them that terrorism works.

President George W. Bush ...my American hero! Who cares what the British think? Not me!

Thank you for the post. With very much respect to Freepers, I would like to point out this. Even I, with my ability,(laughs) to speed read, could hardly do this information justice,even after in ten minutes of perusal.

Well, I guess that the header and justifiably so, set some of 'em off. I would presume that the attack on GWB, if not, Sharon was the irritant. Ah well,good for the mind. The task of properly identifying Neville Chamberlain and his place in history, is an impossible one. Once identified with appeasement- he is consigned to the scrap heap of history.

Many people do not seem to have the information that he trusted Hitler. Hitler gave his word on the "last territorial claim in Europe". Hitler's representative then signed the non-agression pact with Dictator Stalin, on August 23rd 1939. This opened the door for the attack on Poland by Hitler, eight days later.

Chamberlain declared war on Germany 48 hours after this betrayal, when his ultimatum was rejected to withdraw. Ok, will mend fences.

Man of the Year. George Walker Bush.

May God bless and preserve him.

P.S. Today, got down to the local public library and found: Burying Caesar. (The Churchill-Chamberlain Rivalry. Graham Stewart. The Overlook Press. Woodstock and New York- 2001. Will read on.

This disgrace from a man I once considered thoughtful:

RICHARD DAWKINS, scientist

Hero: Robert Fisk
He is not afraid to tell the truth, however unpleasant. His serious sincerity redeems the profession of journalist from the dishonour inflicted by the tabloids.

Villain: George Bush
This illiterate buffoon cheated his way into the White House with the help of his well-connected family and friends. Having dismally failed to anticipate or prevent the atrocity of September 11, he spent the rest of the day zigzagging around the country like a jet-propelled chicken. His personal cowardice was mirrored in the country at large, and he fanned it to his advantage in the mid-term elections, and now, to foment an unprovoked war that has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with oil. His record on the environment is as appalling as you would expect. Bush is rightly despised throughout the world, and it is humiliating that Britain is seen as his only ally.

He is at least consistent. Anyone who sees the liar Robert "Jenin massacre" Fisk as a truth-teller would also see George W Bush and the USA as he does.

[AF68]

The Tehran Times completely misrepresents this "poll" in the kooky kommunist Independent newspaper. It is to laugh.

[Theresawithanh]

OK, lemme see, 50 British dumkopfs say Sharon and President Bush are villains. Oh, gee, won't be able to sleep tonight, or eat, or function.... especially since it's from such a world-reknowned newspaper.....NOT!

[Lancey Howard]

What's the problem with these British writers?
I don't recall Bush ever insulting womanly homosexual pedophiles with black teeth and bad breath - - so why don't they like Bush?

(Actually, I already know the answer - - it's because no matter how outrageous they try to be, and no matter how much they kick and scream like two-year-olds nobody, but nobody, in the United States gives the slightest rat's ass what they have to say. These mice simply cannot stand being ignored so profoundly.)

[Congressman Billybob]

Betcha a dollar to a doughnut that Robert ("they didn't beat me up enough") Fisk was right in the center of this group of "renowned" British journalists. Look at Britain with its socialist, lying, gun-grabbing, hug-an-Arab-today policies as the future of the US if we ever let the Democrats get back in power here, until they have first been forced to flush their Clinton toilet.

IMHO.
