WHAT THE BRITISH ARE READING ABOUT US THIS TODAY (fantastic lies and hate-speech)
Just how evil are the tabloid media in the UK?WHAT THE BRITISH ARE READING ABOUT US THIS TODAY [Kathryn Jean Lopez] From a friend in London: this is from The Sun, the UK's largest newspaper, on saturday, Sept 10 2005, in a column by Jeremy Clarkson. I quote this verbatim (it's not up on their website, so i'm typing it in) "Hollywood has taught America that the military can solve anything. It's full of chisel-jawed heroes who never leave a man on the field and never fail to get the job done. So they'd have New Orleans sorted out in a jiffy. OTOH, we are not so ignorant that we cannot recognize a series of bigoted generalizations and strawmen for what they are, something that would seem to be beyond the British reading public, at least in Clarkson's estimation. Unfortunately, on the street you've got some poor, starving sould helping themselves to a packet of food from a ruined, deserted supermarket. And as a result, finding themselves being blown to pieces by a helicopter gunship. I have challenged Jeremy to provide video of these helicopter assaults. We will post the video as soon as it comes in, but don't hold your breath. With the none-too-bright soldiers urged on by their illiterate political masters, the poor and needy never stood a chance. These are the self-same soldiers who are working 18 hours a day to rescue and comfort the victims in New Orleans. It's easier and much more fun to shoot someone than make them a cup of tea. Especially if they're black." Wasn't that a line from Escape from L.A>? I've been watching a lot of the Katrina coverage. Somehow I missed the military gunships killing poor, hungry civilians. The understandable emotion of good people aside, New Orleans is not Mogadishu. But I suspect we can expect to read such things for a looong time. And many will believe, especially if it fits conveniently into their worldview. These terror-inciting lies and characterizations are especially sad because The Sun was on our side until recently. Perhaps the allure of Arab venture capital has finally reached even their editorial staff. I fired off an e-mail to The Sun, calling them liars and bigots and threatening Clarkson himself with the Julius Streicher chair at a future war-crimes tribunal. This pig is a calculating liar and an enemy propagandist, directly and conciously inciting violence and hatred against Americans. The British public have sunk to an abysmal level of sub-human bigotry and ignorance when they provide the likes of Clarkson, Charlotte Raven, and Robert Fisk with an eager and profitable audience. These polemicists are the true heirs of Streicher and Goebbels. They are leeches, parasites, and vermin; having placed themselves beneath any attempt at rational discourse. They should be dealt with accordingly. Write to The Sun and let them know that they have not quite managed to conceal this filth from its intended targets. Posted by: Atomic Conspiracy 2005-09-11 |
