No Mr. Kincaid, I never denounced you, never appointed nor anoited you as the cardinal on patriotism. In fact I never knew who in the hell are you!
Once a while I sit down and do some “googling” sound like George Bush’s “Internets”. Tonight I did just that and I ran into a posting where someone by the name of Cliff Kincaid, who present himself as editor of AIM, Accuracy in Media made the false and in-accurate statement that I in one of my bloggs in support of Al-Jazeera International denounced him and quote” A pro-Arab blogger named Sami Jadallah has denounced me as "the appointed and anointed cardinal on patriotism" for opposing Al-Jazeera. ...” Sorry Mr. Kincaid, I never knew who in the hell are you to denounce you let alone to give you the title of “appointed and anointed cardinal on patriotism “ for apposing Al-Jazeera. Now my friends, here is Accuracy in Media, where some one like Mr. Kincaid tries to make himself important and the guardian of patriotism. No doubt he is one of the many chicken hawks who hide behind their mothers skirts and never bother to serve their country and yet claim they are the guardian of patriotism. It seems these days, every NeoCons and Conservative Republicans, no doubt armed services avoiders, claim they are the standard of patriotism. Well if they truly love American they have to live up to the principals that made this country, the great country it was before they hijacked this country and hijacked all that it stands for and took us down the road to disaster.
Those guys, who claim they love America, have stood and supported the Talibans and supported Islamic Fundamentalist who later carried out the attack on the World Trade Center killing thousands of our people. The conservative groups are responsible for the disaster and the world of terrorism we live in. They have supported only criminal regimes the like of the Mujahideens and Augusto Pinochet, who not only committed tens of thousands of murder, but also robbed the country blind. These are the kind of heroes, Conservative Republicans love. Dictators, murderers and crooks. The list goes on and on, from Pinochet, to Samoza , to Suharto, to the Argentine generals to the Panamanian generals, to the Salvadorian and Guatemala Generals, to the Shah of Iran and to Saddam Hussein. Yes my friends, Conservative Republicans supported and sponsored Saddam for over 25 years and now claim they are the guardians of Iraq's freedom. They could not resist falling in love with a world leader who is a murderers and a crook and embrace them and then they have the galls to say they love American and are true patriot. Poor America for having such lousy chicken hawks as lovers and lovers of crooks and murderers.
Mr. Kincaid claim to fame is that he went to Congress seeking support for preventing Al-Jazeera International to broadcast here in the US. Perhaps he, like so many staffers on the Hill, don’t like any other point of view and they feel threatened by having a very sophisticated new media with a world view that is different from the sound bite they love to hear on Fox News. It seem that they are having difficulties understanding sophisticated journalist who do not talk sound bites and who do not shout people down. Of course Al-Jazeera does have a very sophisticated and smart audience and not the kind of audience that listen to inaccuracy in the media. When traveling overseas, I do watch Al-Jazeera International and all I can say it has a much wider world view that any of the American media. The unelected and accountable fourth branch of governing.
It is too bad that Kincaid and his likes are afraid of Al-Jazeera. If AIM has the whole truth all the truth then it should not be afraid if someone have a different point of view, or see the news from different angle, where editors are not beholding to special lobbies and interest groups and are afraid of getting fired for airing a story that may anger someone sitting in Tel-Aviv.
I am so glad we live in this great country of ours, yes, Mr. Kincaid, I am an Arab, and a Muslim and an American who have the honor together with four other brothers to serve honorably in the armed forces of this country and defend its freedoms so that you and the like of you can enjoy AIM and can lobby against news media that may not support your point of view. I like to remind you that this was the case in old Soviet Union and in other dictatorship that you and the like of you supported and sponsored. No fear, America is much stronger that couple of million Conservative Republicans and our people, your people, are much more intelligent and much smarter than you give them credit. If Al-Jazeera is a terror network, then yours must be the stupid network that could not rise to the level of intelligence that is prelevant here and must reduce its news to sound bite, as if the people are not smart enough to understand full stories. No Mr. Kincaid, I never appointed you nor anointed you as the cardinal of American patriotism, it is wishful thinking, and beside, you do not need someone like me, an “Arab”, to anoint someone like you, a true and no doubt “pureblooded” American as a cardinal of American Patriotism. You should be glad that you and someone like you live in this country, this great country. You are not the only patriot and you do not rise to a cardinal and don’t give your self the title of Cardinal. America's Patriotism takes more than AIM and much more than Conservative Republicans.
