That's wrong. Rose had to ask Moore if he felt that all the Saudi upper
class were affiliated with Al Quada, and Moore answered YES. Rose was
shocked and asked the question AGAIN, and Moore dug in his heels.
So this is nonsense. There is no reason to add to the conversation that
Bush's family and business connections have affiliations with Saudi
representitives except to imply that Bush, therefor, through his
affiliation with these connections helped or assited Al Quada by his
relationship with the Saudi Arabian ruling class and family.
This is a CLASSIC smear. This is the pattern for justifying hatred and
irrational political stands going back to Pharo and Jacabs son's, right
through to the Nazi propaganda machine, onto, Pravda, and into today's
highly charged political atmosphere.
I'm sorry. Joseph's remarks are repugnant, immoral, and wrong. It is
McCathy-like, and it has no place in civil debate.
As for Al Quada's funding, it is certainly not being funded by the
Republican National Committee. And it is not being funded by the Saudi
Royal family as a group, or Fox News. The Bin Ladden family is already independently
wealthy and evidence is showing Al Quada is being continually funded by drug
trafficing, honey sales, gun running individual commitments, which
PROBIBLY includes sympathetic members of the House of Saud. But none of
this is an excuse the kind of trash Moore is projecting onto the public,
or the media reporting the Moore film as legitimate news. It's
sensastionalist bull shit, the kind of daily trife spewed by the New York
Times, NPR, and yes - even Fox.
At this point, none of these news outlets have clean hands.
