Watch Frank Gaffney and London's Al-Jazeera Chief get into it (link here)
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 03:05 PM by ...of J.Temperance
This was on BBCs 'Newsnight' last night. It's about Junior The Madman wanting to bomb the HQ of Al-Jazeera to stop them showing the TRUTH about what was happening in Iraq.

Watch the utter propaganda that Gaffney comes out with, and how the Al-Jazeera fellow bitchslaps Gaffney upside the head. It's VERY entertaining.

Click on "Watch the programme", it's at the top right-hand side of the page. On Edit: You're going to have to wait another two and a half hours in order to watch last nights show, sorry, I forgot that...but in two and a half hours, you should check it out, it's fantastic.

1. Anyone who has seen Control Room knows that Jazeera are
real journalists. One would be really stupid to get on their bad side in an interview.

2. Somebody told me last year that all the Al-Jazeera journalists used to
Work for BBC Asia...or MANY of them used to work for BBC Asia. So these people are legitimate and respected PROPER journalists.

Unlike the Repuke Propagandists who work at Faux, for example.

4. Gaffney still says that the OK city bombing is
unsolved, and it is tied to Saddam Hussein...

5. Thank you! I was watching Newsnight in bed while trying to sleep
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 05:11 PM by redacted
last night. The lead story on Al-Jazeera was rolling along, and I must have dozed off because next thing I knew, the three men on the panel were yelling at each other. I didn't realize that was Gaffney at the time; he is such a creep. Thank you for clarifying.

I thought Jeremy's question about "how could one contemplate bombing an organization of journalists in the middle of an effort called Operation Iraqi FREEDOM" was priceless.

Lately I've been paying special attention to Newsnight, Channel 4 and More4 to see the stories censored by American television, which I don't watch anymore. I have an old Mac PowerBook hooked up to a DSL line and a Sony TV in the bedroom just for this purpose. Pretty much everything is available on Windows Media Player, which works very well on older computers like mine with slower processors.

I'm trying to figure out a way to quickly edit and post video clips like these using VLC media player's download feature so that folks here on DU would have easier access to reports out of Britain. I remember as a little kid how Vietnam was ended by TV news coverage and it drives me nuts that U.S. audiences do not have easy access to more reports like these.

8. Thanks. Did I hear Gaffney say "fair game"? They need to stop using
the same limited vocabulary pool.

9. Gaffney wins every debate
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 06:53 PM by burythehatchet
because he can do that thing where he can raise one eyebrow up to his scalp. Makes him look very erudite.

10. I don't think he won this one
because he came across as a brutal psychopath, seeing as he was advocating the bombing of innocent Al Jazeera personnel. I thought his remarks were so violent I transcribed them in this thread.

14. You were too late
The only keep the programme on the web for 24 hours. The one with Gaffney was broadcast on Tuesday, 10:30pm GMT. What you see now is the one that was broadcast a couple of hours ago.
