Uh, it’s implying Olmert is subconsciously racist, that’s all.

You exhibit ignorance of the highest caliber. The republicans are the ones who want to take your wallet and give it to the rich.

P.S. I don’t mean conservatives, I mean republicans, there’s a difference now.

Palestinian leaders have only started gaining any kind of influence on the political landscape around there in the past few decades.. which they’ve used to faction up and kill each other, of course.

But no, if the zionists hadn’t done back-room deals with the Hashemites and the Brits, there might have conceivably been an Arab-Palestinian state for the past 60 years, alongside a Jewish-Palestinian one.

As things stand now, if Palestinians just sat back and stopped their armed resistance, they’d probably have to look for a new place to live tomorrow.

Oh, and by the way, Jews were calling this place Palestine, too, as late as the ’50s.

I LOLed. Actually, Obama’s biggest worry was passing security at Ben Gurion airport: having Hussein as his middle name must have kept him there for hours.

No, no, making racist about white people *being* racist is enough of a departure from “traditional” racism that it can be considered a joke *about* racism as opposed to a racist joke. The PC movement won’t catch on to that for two years, at least.

Such irony.

It’s the Palestinian leaders who are solely responsible for the lack of a Palestinian state. If they stopped trying to kill all the Jews they could have their own country tomorrow.

Palestine is a term the Romans used to describe a region of the middle east under their rule. It never described a race of people or a culture.

Um, not all of the “terrorists” at Gitmo were caught on a battlefield trying to blow other people up. In fact, the USA gave a bounty to any Pakistani who turned in anyone else for being a “terrorist.” In other words, Ubamo Q Muhammad was GIVEN MONEY BY THE US to turn in his next-door neighbor, Ahmed T Mandvi, for “terrorist acts” even though Ahmed may have never done anything at all. And now Ahmed is stuck at Gitmo without the ability to protest his illegal incarceration, and without being allowed to talk to his family or a lawyer.

Luckily, it appears that this is starting to change, that alleged terrorists are being allowed to challenge their detention now.

You don’d hear anything about all the ‘good’ that you’ve done because (and here’s the shocker) YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYONE ANY GOOD. Yea so a few hundred american and british soldiers have ‘given their lives for the greater good’ but what about all the tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children who have died? I bet you never hear about that on FOX news.

Sorry to be pedantic Larrikin – but where do you get this idea that ‘millions’ of people were dying under Saddam’s rule? Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m under the impression that Iraq, while corrupt, was doing much better under his rule than they are now. We (and by ‘we’ I mean your laughably ridiculous president and our brown-nosing, yellow bellied PM) single handedly went into that country, for no understandable or justifiable reason, and tore out their infrastructure, thereby allowing two factions/tribes/political parties (call them what you will) to rise up and start tearing their own country to shreds. And need I remind you that it was the West that gave Saddam his power in the first place?
If you’re going to try to be all high and mighty about how magnanimous we are for ‘liberating’ the Iraqis, please first explain to me why we have not also stepped in to help to ‘liberate’ all the other countries of the world that have corrupt leaders and suffering populaces (i.e. Zimbabwe). Oh yea, it’s because they don’t have any oil.
Aren’t the Iraqis ‘lucky’.

Actually … he has clearly stated the income tax hikes are NOT off the table in an effort to shore up social security. He is pulling a Bush SR. and saying no new taxes then saying … well, ok … maybe some new taxes but please don’t call me on that.

I found it funny. It’s like a huge “Yep, this is what happens every day” for black people – more ironic since ya’know, Obama is a Presidential candidate. Sort of sad too, though. It reminded me of this one “The Awful Truth” ep where M.M. gave black people day glo orange wallets just so the cops wouldn’t shoot them for “mistaking” the wallets as guns.

It’s a joke…on the white guy for supposedly having an inappropriate defensive, racist reaction to being in proximity with a black man. Comprehension fail. Over-developed defense mechanism and racism win. Hey, that makes it an irony win!

so….. either : (1) you see a black face and think “criminal” or (2) you see a white face and think “that guy must think all black men are criminals”?

Both (1) and (2) are racist concepts…
