Obsession: Fearmongering delivered right to your mailbox

[mrryde]

So who got this crap dvd with their newspaper yesterday?

Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against The West is a movie that “reveals an ‘insider’s view’ of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerrilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real.”

Its more like 60 minutes of fear mongering propaganda designed to scare you into voting for the Republican party.

Benson didn't care for it much either

At the risk of being a racist, bigoted, xenophobe, those guys would cut off your head and piss in the hole in a second if given the chance. If you want to invite them into your backyard go ahead but ya better teach the cute doggie a few new tricks before you do.

yeah I pay for a fucking newspaper, lots of people do it. There is a section some place inside for opinion & editorials, but the front page is usually reserved for actual fucking news. Its a bit ridiculous to have a fucking dvd warning of Jihad here in suburbs of Charlotte glued over the news of the hurricane damage in TX.

Call it what you will, its more of the same right wing fear mongering bullshit the the right wing has been spewing for the past 7 years devised to help give them an edge in the states where they need it the most.

You should start calling the newspaper, and their big advertisers, to complain. Threaten to cancelyour subscription. That's all the power you have.

Come on now, do you think the republicans are that bad?

I agree. Start with the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times.

Seriously, don't like the DVD crap?

Write Ye Olde "Cancel My Subscription" Letter to the Editor.
They'll choose one of the several thousand they'll get and publish it in the Opinion section, which you can then read online for free without having to throw away the remaining two pounds of paper advertisting you never even glance at.

Sure, they won't care, sure, they'll do it again in a heartbeat for the money,
but when they do, it won't bother you.

Meanwhile - what are you going to do to offset that bit of shamelessly lowbrow fearmongering?
'Cause you know some people will be swayed by it.
