  • Why do GOP Presidents get to go Hard Right, and Dems are just GOP Lite?
    • Babacar 12/15/2016 at 5:39 am with 1 replies

      Juan,
      You summed up perfectly what I have been arguing for over a decade. This is the reason why Democrats will not earn my vote because of their supine attitude towards Republicans. Until they grow a spine and govern according to the wishes of the people who vote for them and stop worrying about being called names, they will not stop losing elections.

  • How Muslim-Americans can avoid being Trolled by Israel-Firsters: Look again at the Prophet's example

      Mashallah! I could not have said it better.

  • Jeb Bush on Foreign Policy: Peddling old Iraq Myths Again
    • B 02/19/2015 at 6:30 am

      As the French say,”on prend les mêmes et on recommence!” Is this guy related to George W. Bush? Never mind…

      One primary reason I did not vote for this cold-blooded killer.

  • Surprise: US Drones Kill Civilians, Provoke Hatred (Woods)

      One reason to not vote for the war criminal Obama. What kind of sick person kills rescuers, funeral-goers, women and children just because he can?

  • Israeli Commandos Kill as Many as 10-16 Aid Activists,
    wound over 50 as they Board, Capture Gaza Aid Flotilla
    • Babacar 05/31/2010 at 6:38 pm

      According to your "logic" the ships being boarded by somalis pirates are agent provocateurs and should be dealt with deadly force....That is too deep. Do you work for the propaganda arm of Tsahal by any chance?

    • Babacar 05/31/2010 at 7:10 am

      This is a massacre, shocking even to the low israelis standards. First they are starving gazans, then they murder the people bringing them help. It is a despicable reality that my tax dollars are subsidizing this murderous and suffocating Occupation regime.
      As long as both democrats and republicans are supporting this atrocious band of israelis thugs nothing will change but i know for sure none of them will ever get my vote.
      Thank you professor for all your work on behalf of the voiceless and the oppressed.

  • Can "Proximity Talks" Avert Boycotts of Apartheid Israel?
    • Bouba 05/02/2010 at 11:36 am

      Can't thank you enough for your courage to speak the truth about Israel's horrific treatment of the palestinians.Big up to Obama for at least trying to stand up to the shameless and sickening "Israel first" lobby.
