jbg Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 I am now cured of my alleged anti-Muslim fervor. I realize that the fault lies elsewhere. Watch the fault line (link to article) By MICHAEL COREN They drag families out of homes and force wives and children to watch as the men are murdered. They shoot a rival 40 times in the head until there is only mush and muck left. They bind innocent people hand and foot and throw them from the top of apartment buildings. Whom to blame? Israel and the U.S.A. of course. They raid the hospitals, caring nothing if the sick and dying are thrown to the floor and trampled. They always seem to go for the hospitals. In Lebanon militia members dragged wounded men, from the same sub-sect of Islam, from their sickbeds and killed them with knives and blades as they moaned for pity. Whom to blame? Israel and the U.S.A. of course. They round up their Palestinian brothers as helpless prisoners and then machine-gun them to death. They drag the body of a commander of another faction through the streets from the back of a car, laughing as they do so. They firebomb and shoot bullets into a United Nations' school that is immensely sympathetic to their cause but is, they claim, teaching children Christianity. It is not. They round up enemies they claim to be informers when they are nothing of the kind. They kill them like animals while crowds of onlookers cheer. Whom to blame? Israel and the U.S.A. A mother of eight children who is pregnant with her ninth plans to be a suicide bomber and kill innocent Israelis -- Muslims and Christians as well as Jews. She is allowed to enter the country because Israel makes exceptions to its closed border on compassionate grounds and gives first class medical treatment to people sworn to destroy it. She is captured, but is unrepentant, as apparently indifferent to the fate of Israeli children as she is to her unborn baby. ***snip**** Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Mad_Michael Posted June 25, 2007 Report Posted June 25, 2007 Michael Coren has the same amount of credibility on this issue as Rush Limbaugh. Just another loud mouthed ideologue that the mass media loves to celebrates. Coren can be reasonably interesting - unless the topic involves homos, arabs, liberals, religion or terrorists. Then he gets all delusional and rabid (much like Rush or O'Reilly for that matter). Quote

Then he gets all delusional and rabid (much like Rush or O'Reilly for that matter).Some issues are reasonably clear cut, or should be. I see no reason for muddled complexity where the difference is between animalistic killers and a civilized, Western nation.The issue is really quite simple, despite the efforts of certain self-hating Westerners to make it complex, incomprehensible and insoluble. Coren has this right. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Coren has this right. According to Michael Coren, Christian white males are always the poor innocent victims of evil homosexual agendas, politically correct feminists and/or the fanaticism of violent Islamic terrorists. Poor Christain white males are just trying to save the world for themselves and no one has the guts to thank them for it. Luckily we have Michael Coren to do that for us. Like I said, a lame-ass version of Rush Limbaugh. At least Limbaugh has a sense of humour (not to mention drug problems and issues involving young prostitutes). Quote
ScottSA Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Pure ad hominem. Not even an attempt to counter his self-evidently true exposure of the leftist double standard. Quote

The only subject I have heard him actually get 'rabid' on would be abortion...other than that he is as credible as any other writer. Just because you don't agree with him, doesn't make him incredible. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Just because you don't agree with him, doesn't make him incredible. Coren's credibility has nothing to do with my agreement or disagreement with his views. If you have watched Michael Coren's show, you will see him shout down or shut down anyone who disagrees with his anti-homo or 'all Islamics are terrorists' crap. If anyone tries to approach any of these particular topics, Coren will use his power as 'host' to cut them off, talk over them and go to a commercial - giving himself the last word every time. That is his 'right' as tv-host, but it displays a consistently closed mind on several key issues. The man is an ideologue. No substantive credibility by definition. And yes, this same applies to all ideologues. Ideologues have no credibility, regardless of whether I agree with their views or not. I always object when tv-personality-celebrities are held up as some example of wisdom because they just happen to say something one agrees with. Quote
