Where did I post - anywhere - that "Israel, and the Arab conflict [is] the fault of the US". This is also how Rush Limbaugh hypes his lies. Why do you do what Rush Limbaugh does?

Rush totally misrepresents what another says, then he aquaints that person with Hilary. And no I do not know Hilary nor did I ever vote for her. Just dispelling another Rush type accusation before it too is posted.

Even by stripping down what was posted into black and white, no where is there anything that even comes close to "Israel, and the Arab conflict [is] the fault of the US". We should be discussing the merits of UTs post - and not misrepresenting other posts with fictional interpretations. The point was that some misrepresent reality by condensing everything into 'good verses evil', 'black verses white', etc.

For example, UT continuously avoids all discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood - as if it did not exist and was not relevant. This he must do to reinterprete all parties into either 'good or evil'. This he had to do to blame Saddam for terrorism in the US. This is how he justifies the evil Arabs verses the good Christians and their allies the righteous Jews.

This 'good verses evil' rationalization is also how Nazis promoted hate - to justify using propaganda the invasions of other sovereign nations. What other nation would be so evil as to invade and occupy another nation only on lies, myths, and radio talk show host propaganda? Hummm.... Lets see. Japan for most of WWII. North Korea against South Korea. USSR against Afghanistan. Indonesia against E Timor. America against Vietnam. Iraq against Kuwait. There must be a most recent example of such evil. What could it be?
