Diane, Quite right. You saw him on Hannity and Colmes. I heard the speech--most of it yesterday and today on the radio. I also heard part of the Arab American.
Not only that, he was alluding to the Black Panthers, the Black Muslims and the Arabs joining together in the "cause".
It was a seditious and treasonous speech. WE were the Bad guys and the Taliban and Bin Laden were the Good guys.
It was saying that they didn't blame Bin Laden they blamed Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, etc. etc.etc. In other words, they blamed the USA.
It was as bad or worse (much) than ANYthing that Jane Fonda did on US soil.
In the vain of the you are "with us" against terrorism or 'against us" (as in USA) they firmly put their feet into the Terrorist camp. They aligned themselves with the "enemy'.
His diatribe (and the Arabs) against the Jews was every bit as hateful as Hitler.
I can't understand why anybody would assume that just because the guy is Black his speech was patriotic. Not all white people's speeches are patriotic. Not all Black people are good and neither are ALL of any race.
That is dangerous "group think" and putting people into categories.
