Rich in Ohio Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 I have been amazed at the media orgy over the “death in process” of the terrorist Arafat. I could not imagine any such hype if this was Sharon instead of the scumbag Arafat. The last time I saw this much coverage over someone’s death (or almost death) was Princess Diana. Ironically both events happened in France…hmmm, maybe just a coincidence. Anyway, it just goes to show the love affair that the liberal media has with this murderous, animal. I wonder if his funeral precession will pass thru the Arc de Triumph.
slothrop Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 another report of his death and now another denial of his death. I am reminded of the words of Austin Powers in the second movie, where after an asassin is shot, stabbed, hit with an RPG, and dropped out of a building, he said "Why won't you die!"
DC Tom Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Arafat's been a world figure for a long time, and is the embodiment of the PLO/PA. Sharon for much, much less time, and is merely a representative of Israel. Plus...I'd submit that Arafat's death is a lot more newsworthy than Sharon's would be, simply because Israel has mechanisms in place for an orderly transfer of power in the case of the death of a PM. The PLO/PA has no such thing...which, I think, makes it a much more important story.

I guess Rush and Hannity have decided to ignore all that and have it be media bashing week.

I guess I will have to check again. My point is and was that this is a media orgy. Look the guy is terrorist and a thug. He has stolen millions of US dollars that was made avaiable to help his people. Instead his french whore wife was busy spending the bulk of it in paris and in other frency french cities. He deserves no such orgasims in my opinion, and I wuld just as soon hear that he is dead, and the rot has begun. The sooner the better...........throw his dead ass in a box, and and dump him in a hole.

Sure, Arafat's a thug...so's OJ, so's Scott Peterson. Arafat pulls a much higher rating that Sharon would.

Peter Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Is Drudge liberal?!? Most of my information on the subject has come from HUGE links that he has on his site.
Wacka Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 There is a least a billion dollars that the PLO has no idea where it went. Most likely secret Arafat accounts in Switzerland. There has bee hundreds of millions of $ transferred from Arafat's accounts to Carribean offshore banks recently. Wen will the Palestenians realize that he is a terrorist, despot and one of the largest thiefs in history?

Good post Tom... but you're smart enough to know that already
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 40 years, a guerrilla terroist to a Noble Peace Prize winner, 109597[/snapback] This, in and of itself, shows what IDIOTS the Euros that run the Nobel competition are.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Sharon's also a thug. 109821[/snapback] Yeah, that's right. Parrot the views of Hamas. You'll gain much in the way of credibility.
chicot Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Yeah, that's right. Parrot the views of Hamas. You'll gain much in the way of credibility. 110231[/snapback] There are plenty of people outside Hamas who regard Sharon as a thug.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 There are plenty of people outside Hamas who regard Sharon as a thug. 110242[/snapback] Yes, of course, there's Islamic Jihad, Al Quaeda, the PLO, etc...etc...
chicot Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Yes, of course, there's Islamic Jihad, Al Quaeda, the PLO, etc...etc... 110266[/snapback] Actually, there's probably quite a few Jews who would agree with that assessment. Most Europeans, quite a few Americans, in fact probably most of the world's population.

After Arafat refused Barak's peace offer giving them 97% of what they asked for, and then starting a new round violence for their troubles, the jewish people wanted to try a different approach, since seeking a peace treaty got them nothing but blood. People on the left always want to blame US policy for creating terrorism. Terrorist acts create there own effects on goverments as well, and almost never in a way they wanted (minus Spain of course)...

Maybe in terms of pure land area it was 97% but there was to be limitations placed on Palestinian statehood and how do you quantify Jerusalem? In addition, some West Bank settlements were to be retained by Israel though they proposed giving up other land by way of exchange (going on memory, the land offered contained a number of toxic waste dumps).
