Oh the irony of it they are being interviewed by a Muslim news station and dont realise it

[Zadock]

Absolutely spot on MadduckUK, its all gravy until it happens to the americans... *cough* Pearl *cough* Harbour *cough*

To be fair i was in america over the summer and i asked people how they felt and they said that hey wanted obama to win but if he dos they are sure he will be assassinated.

Hmm. An Al Jazeera news report. So that's not biased then.

I wonder if those were the only people they interviewed there or whether they just picked half a dozen idiots. The impression they give is that the whole rally was made up of people like that.

[MadduckUK]

its certainly the view of communities rather than just the view of a few individuals, certainly in key republican areas.

did anyone see on the news the clip with the old woman telling McCain that Obama was a terrorist at one of the rallys, and McCain having to tell her he wasnt? that's the kind of people that are out there

[doYdY]

not suprised by this, there are some very brainwashed people in this world, america is certainly NO exception to this

Proof, if need be, that religion is the worst damn thing to ever have happened to mankind.

Look at the proof:

We ship all our criminals to Australia and what do we get back in return? Big prawns, great surfing and fit chicks with relaxed sexual attitudes working in bars all over the UK.

We ship all our religious zealots to America and what do we get? Tobacco, friendly fire and obese ignoramuses waddling around London telling everyone how great their home town is.

Still, we've only got ourselves to blame... should've given the buggers representation when they asked for it.

Maybe if y'all hadn't lined up in prissy red suits, like so many moving targets, you would have been able to keep your colonies.

Just for the record, it was a man of God who pushed and pushed to abolish British slave trade.

Sorry - I must be missing something, but I'm not sure how those links are relevant. I don't remember anyone mentioning that it wasn't a religious person who pushed to abolish the slave trade. Equally, I'm sure there were many more who supported it. Since almost 100% of the population at the time were religious, I don't see how this tells us anything.

Also, (and this is purely subjective) but I don't think that people over here would be quite so violent and hated against a leader who is non-white. We'll never know for sure until this happens of course...

I agree. You must be missing something. Seems to me there is an ocean between you and the folks you blithely brand racist, based on what first-hand experience with multitudes of American people?

Somewhere up the thread was a smarta$$ remark about 'religious' people.

There you have the relevance, along with a history of your own folk...my ancestors and relatives, btw, yet, y'all sit smugly typing anti-American smears regarding things you truly know nothing about.

Is there a degree of racism in the states, still? Sure. Is there any where you are? I'm thinking so. Is blind attack of the people of any country simply because they reside in said country a form of racism? You bet!

Have a nice day.
