The irony of you questioning someone's liberal credentials while having that as your avatar is apparently lost on you.

By the way, how that avatar has escaped the moderators' attention is baffling. Are those who knowingly conduct aggressive war on behalf of anti-Semitic despots not verboten?

Apparently you've never had a history class, but let's keep useless banter to a minimum (like you commenting on an avatar, when it has nothing to do with this thread).

Until something comes out that states that Mr. Fadlallah did not compare the settling if Israel to the Holocaust, he is still terrorist scum, and is one less Hezbollah agent to deal with.

Indeed. However, given that many people find images of Nazi Germany and those who waged illegal war on its behalf to be offensive, it would be nice if you'd change it to something less provocative.

The entirety of the proposition here has a string of these unstated "can't be sure" conjectures (whose error bars add up) that all have to be accepted first. Yet the conclusion, that "CNN is a cesspool of terrorist supporting scum" is presented as a virtual certainty.
Not by me.

I'm not sure how the NA campaign, or the 7th Armored crashing the maginot, was "illegal" but, please explain your logic in a new thread.

A former Lebanese government minister said last week that he likes Germany because “they hate Jews and burned them.” He was speaking on Al-Jadid/New TV in Lebanon on July 4.

The clip was found and translated by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute), and screened on its MEMRITV.org television monitor project.

Possible, not probable.

Eeh?
Relevance??

It's relevant because it demonstrates how a person can hide something about themselves for a great many years without suspicion.

Can, is going to?

She was a political journalist, and a senior editor.

She will have expressed sympathies with the Hezbollah as possibly miguided, but having a just cause, while denouncing Israel as imperialist at numerous staff and editorial meetings.

Ted Haggard is a reverend, whose job it is to discuss morality.

He will have expressed sympathies with gay people as possibly misguided, but having a just cause, while denouncing homophobes as un-Christian at numerous sermons and Bible discussions.

No, why?
Many self-haters out there, being unable to come to grips with their own sexuality.
That is quite a different thing from adoring a terrorist preacher, as Nasr did, and does.

The entire German campaign was a war of aggression, hence illegal according to the Nuremburg principles. Hope that helps.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but the Nuremberg Principles were written after WW2. I'm no lawyer, but I think declaring something illegal due to a law that was enacted after the event is just a tad bit unfair.
