Ray Hanania wrote a good article called Don't have to wear a silk veil over your head to have a closed mind, which raises many interesting issues. So I decided to ask a question about the following sentence: "Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck - the loser hate-mongers that they are, continue to promote extremist responses to false issues." For the record, I do not consider either one of those individuals to be loser hatemongers, but I can see how some people who use indirect sources would. I, myself, am guilty of considering Limbaugh an extremist scumbag, that of course before I heard HIM, not what was said ABOUT HIM. I owe Limbaugh a debt of gratitude for teaching me how silly it is to rely on secondary sources without considering primary. But that's besides the point.
The question that I posted was "What exactly makes them hate mongers? Their hate for Islamists? Hannity and Beck promote moderate Muslims every chance they get. I hate Islamists more than Limbaugh, Hannity or Beck ever will. Does this make me a hate monger?" In less than an hour, the following message was posted: "Oh God now I really know you're a neo-con shill. You're nothing but a fake-ass. Shame on you." I was slightly taken aback by this type of response coming from a "network dedicated to eliminate extremist ideologies." So, I responded: "Why am I not surprised? When someone is too stupid to discuss the issue, they have the urge to discredit the messenger. If you ARE the Mideast Youth, our future looks pretty bleak." If you want to read the whole back-and-forth that includes a couple of 9/11 conspiracy theorists, go to that blog and read it. I suggest you do it sooner rather than later before other items get deleted.
At some point, one of the moderators, who doesn't choose his own language very carefully wrote: "Any personal attacks from this point onwards will be deleted." He also wrote "you whine like a baby" in the same post, which I guess is not a personal attack.
A few posts later there is another post stating "MAS got pwned by Ali Eteraz so there's no need to respond to the degenerate."
Well, according to the moderator, "Any personal attacks from this point onwards will be deleted." Apparently not. So I wrote the following message suggesting that the moderator should have qualified his statement by stating that "Any personal attacks from this point onwards (unless they are directed at people whom I disagree with - oh, did I mention that me and the moderator do not see exactly eye-to-eye) will be deleted."
As you can see, the post has "Your comment is awaiting moderation" line.
Then, it gets deleted.
Then, when on of the more reasonable posters, but a 9/11 conspiracy theorist nonetheless, asks me to have a dialogue, I suggest we continue it on our blog, because of my replies being censored. And then comes something that I love so much about Islamists, their inability to control their pathological compulsion to lie. "Oh please, none of your comments have been censored here. ... it's VERY doubtful that anyone is going to fall for your outright lies."
Now, is it important that an Islamist, who is supposed to utilize Taqiyya, got caught in a lie? Not really. Is it important that this illustrate their Modus Operandi? Absolutely!
