CNN fires terrorist supporter.

So, you equate every person there with Hezbollah and Hamas?
Wishing every one of them dead = wishing dead all people who look similar to them?
Ok.
Whatever

So, after 20 years of comendable and honorable work most workplaces -- espeically a business in the news/opinion/reporting field like CNN -- would fire a "twitter" opinion without resorting to other diciplinary measures or actually checking on the context of the statement?

The left has lost all credibility if it thinks 20 years of service can somehow make up for this tweet.

Read my post above about killing every Republican dead and tell me if it sounds reasonable to you. Boy, Teabaggers are scarily amenable to mass murder. It's one of their most perplexing characteristics.

If that brush isn't wide enough, try this
If you are considering me a teabagger, then you might want to reconsider.
Ad Hominems are frowned upon here.
 
Unabogie, it's clear in context that rwguinn views all members of Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists that should be killed, individually and en masse. What, exactly, is your disagreement with this viewpoint?

If you think every member of the GOP and the Tea Party movement is a terrorist, and they should all be killed, individually and en masse (just like all members of Hamas and Hezbollah), why not just say so?

If you think that terrorists (such as members of the four groups previously mentioned) should not be killed, individually and en masse, why not just say so?

If you think that terrorists should certainly be killed, etc., but that not all members of the four groups previously mentioned are actually terrorists, and should by definition not be subject to your rule of "kill all terrorists", why not just say so?

I have wished for them exactly what they wish for Israel and all Jews. I have not wished "genocide". I have not wished the extermination of a entire race of people. Just members of Hezbollah and Hamas.

I find it amazing that people still watch CNN.

As for the Hezbollah guy, I'm glad he's dead. If there were a button to kill every Hezbollah and Hamas, I would push many times. Just to be sure. Kill them all.

He was for womens rights??? When did he say that? Only heresy evidence has been offed. Maybe he's for womens rights like that guy in Iran. Now they are only going to bury women up to their waist instead of their neck, before they stoned them to death. What a leap forward for women.

The world is a complicated place with many shades of grey. This chap was a Shia cleric but in Shia terms he was a liberal, regardless of his hard line stance towards foreign interference in Lebanon. Despite your incredulity he was considered a benign and modernising force in Shia terms and very popular. As a cleric he will undoubtedly be replaced but if it is an Iranian stooge that takes his place things will be worse not better.

I love how these leftists are now crying about the "Israel Lobby." They make it sound like we'd go so far as to criticize an over-rated cook-show celeb for wearing a scarf in an Internet donut ad.

I love how these Arizona SB 1070 supporters are now crying about boycotts. They make it sound like we'd go so far as to boycott Arizona Iced Tea, even though it is made in Brooklyn.

Reminds me of an old saying in Arizona — I know it’s in New York, probably in Arizona — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again!

Very good. Bush did it. That explains why some idiotic liberal twit twittered the idea to boycott a product with the name Arizona on it that is made in New York.
 
Once again, I feel I should drop in to say that I'm a left winger who would probably be considered a "Far-Left" type by most of the people commenting in here and I fully support the State of Israel in almost but not quite all of its actions, and that I think that the Palestinian people would get treated far worse by the other Arab nations (and have been).

I also want to state for the record that I don't think Hamas or Hexbollah are in any way, shape or form good as entities, nor do I support them or their aims in any way. I also feel the Palestinian people are at least in part reaping what they sow.

Finally, I want to state that I believe it's possible to admire a single trait of an individual while still disliking, reviling or holding said person in contempt on a general level, see my previous post in this thread.

That is all.

Gee -- in short, she wasn't "politically correct" -- I find it strange that when the right sets a "politically correct" standard, they stop using the words "politically correct" as a negative.

Not supporting suicide bombings is being "politically correct"? :jaw-dropp
 
See, free people reserve the right to fire those with utterly reprehensible opinions and statements. This goes especially for companies where the person is a public figure, i.e. a face the company puts out to the public.

Like anti-death penalty people, you best pick someone who isn't the opinionated equivalent of a mass murderer as your poster child, headscratcher.
 
If that journalist made comments supportive of an IRA leader during the 70s or 80s, she'd have been fired.

Really?


You're absolutely sure of that?

The USA was one of the biggest funders of the IRA! It wasn't government money but they sure as hell knew about it.

Or today. Any journalist who supports or admires a person who personally plans or encourages others to attack innocents is worthless as an objective and impassioned observer of facts. And as journalism requires a certain level of trust between the consumer and the reporter that is built upon at least a perception of objectivity, a journalist without trust becomes useless.
