Need help slapping down a freepazoid.

[devilgrrl]

Last week I advertised one of my new anti-* products on another board.

Here it is:

Ever notice that the individuals backing the debacle in Iraq never served a minute in the military? Same goes for the current pResident of the United States. While John McCain was getting beaten to a pulp by the Viet Cong and John Kerry dodged bullets in the Mekong Delta, George W. dodged town to snort blow and down bruskies in Alabama. Get hats and stickers, let the world know how you really feel about the Potemkin pResident and his gutless supporters.

This is what I got in my mail today:

The sadness of your post is people do not know history or truth, they hear what they want to hear, and read only what is given to them. So your assement is false based on history. Many thougtht freeing the blacks during the civil war was wrong, they hated Lincoln more than Bush, hey a famous actor killed him. So try and use your brain and add a little heart, I am from an Arab country and my people love the US and Bush. we see what he is doing, Ameicans who never had a hard day in their life are always fighting agaist trying to free us from the abuse we are under. Perhaps someday your Grandfather and sister will be killed as mine were for thier beliefs and because my sister slept with a man out of marraige. You are all so sad and full of your own personal peace and belongings.
PS if I spell wrong it is because my native tounge is not english.

:wtf:

1. Yep, I'm SO sure he's not just an uneducated Pube

trying to explain away his illiteracy.

2. Sounds like a harmless troll.

3. Maybe point him to Iran-Contra, Iran/Iraq war, selling weapons to Saddam

Many things in Middle East history point to how they hate us. Abu- Ghraib. 100,000 Iraqi civilians killed since invasion. Huge car bombs killing hundreds almost daily in Iraq. There's a wealth of info for you out there. Check history and you will have irrefutable facts.

Edit: installing Shah as leader of Iran and the resultant Islamic revolution, etc, ad nauseum.

4. "So your assement is false based on history"

Liberals hate Lincoln because he freed the slaves and hate bush* because he freed the Muslims?????

5. Oh this is easy!

Ask what you wrote that is incorrect. Let them know you only want to put out factual info so if they provided evidence counter to what you wrote you would happily correct your statement.

Always throw it back into their laps.

6. I think it's someone PRETENDING to be Arab.

This is from 2004:
Recent opinion polls of six Arab countries show that rising anti-American attitudes in the Arab world are due mainly to American foreign policy, as opposed to American civilization or values. According to the surveys, none of the six Arab countries returned approval ratings of the US above 20%, a statistic due in large part to the fact that America’s Iraq policy now equals its Israel-Palestine policy in garnering criticism. Most Arabs felt that America invaded Iraq not to democratize the region or remove Saddam Hussein, but instead to secure oil, protect Israel, and dominate the Muslim world.

13. That was my impression as well

[Lasher]

7. Too easy

Challenge him to identify exactly which Arab country loves the US and Bush. He says you "...do not know history or the truth..." so I would expect that he should cheerfully supply this 'truth', along with supporting documentation.

8. Kindly point out that if we wanted to "liberate" opressed Arab societies

the logical places to start would be Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.

[Charlie Brown]

12. You're right. I wonder if he supports an invasion of Somalia or Indonesia

If he wants examples of other Muslim countries where religious minorities are murdered.

[DainBramaged]

9. they hear what they want to hear, and read only what is given to them

What bullshit. Name me ONE country in the Muslim World that speaks truth and doesn't feed it's citizens propaganda.

What a fraud

[madrchsod]

10. the email is bullshit

block your email better

[Charlie Brown]

11. It's nice to know that Mr. Humanitarian

Supports our soldiers' detentions and random shootings in Iraq, when even the Iraqi Nat'l Assembly unequivocally condemns it.

It's also interesting that he compares Bush to Lincoln when quite a number of his fellow Republicans are products of the Old South.

14. Here's a good post about who did and who did not serve in the US military:
