| Boycott US products and dollar: Ex-Malaysia PM |
| 2009-01-06 |
| Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad on Monday called for a global boycott of the U.S. dollar and U.S.-made products, including Coca-Cola, in protest over Washington's backing of Israel. The former premier said while governments might not be able to support the move as many were "scared stiff" of the superpower, the people could play their part to "save Palestine." |

| #12 "including Coca Cola" No way. Coke is about the only thing safe to drink in those countries. |

| #11 "In June this year Dr Mahathir described Westerners - or more particularly "Anglo-Saxon Europeans" -- as proponents of "war, sodomy and genocide"." Yes, but never all at the same hollywood party. |

| #9 I can never remember if the Jews are the "apes" or the "pigs". Either way, it fascinates me that they can be so lowly and yet rule the world. That's the nice thing about Islam -- no logic is allowed. |

| #8 "by claiming the a Jewish cabal 'ruled the world'" This always fascinates me. The same clowns that say Jooooooos are bad and unclean and Allan wants all of them killed ALSO think that this teeny tiny minority of people somehow manage to rule the entire world. If you really believe that, Mo, you should be scared sh*tless of them and what they can do to you anytime they decide to. Loser. |

| #7 Soar on USD. The better the Stock Market gets the less likely another bailout will be needed, or pass if NOT needed. |

| #5 From this 2003 profile: In June this year Dr Mahathir described Westerners - or more particularly "Anglo-Saxon Europeans" -- as proponents of "war, sodomy and genocide". Days before he resigned, he angered several foreign governments and Jewish groups by claiming the a Jewish cabal "ruled the world". |

| #2 Malaysia, where pork is unclean and monkeys are dinner. As with the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire, we can chalk Malaysian Islamism up to the errors of British imperialism. They should have let the Reds have the place. |

| #1 Scrap the proposed free trade agreement w/ Malaysia, tariff and boycott Malaysian imports. Help eliminate the $20 billion annual trade deficit and put Americans to work instead of islamic supremacists. |
