| Other statements made by the "honorable" US Senator Hollings...
In 1983 Hollings accused U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston of California, of importing "wetbacks" into Iowa.
On African leaders, Hollings said, "Everybody likes to go to Geneva. I used to do it for the Law of the Sea conferences, and you'd find these potentates from down in Africa. Rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." | | | | Cowboy | | Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 3:20 am Post subject: Re: Head of Sept. 11 Commission Said Iraq War for Israel |
|
From your linked article...
| Quote: | Zelikow told a crowd at the University of Virginia on Sep. 10, 2002, speaking on a panel of foreign policy experts assessing the impact of 9/11 and the future of the war on the al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
...
Zelikow was not telling the exact truth here. ...
So here you have it: the head of the September 11 commission once publicly acknowledged that the Iraq war was fought for Israel, but held that the government wanted to hide that motive. Obviously, as head of the commission he will do his best to keep that motive hidden. |
Sp you say that in 2002, he said that the 2003 war against Iraq was about Israel.
And in the following paragraph you say that he doesn't always tell the truth.
What a fucking moron you can be.
But this does explain why some of the things out of the 9/11 commission are a joke. | | | | Cowboy | | Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 4:54 am Post subject: |
| Sen. Fritz Hollings: SC Democrat led fight against 1960's lunch counter integration
With recent controversy surrounding Trent Lott, the leftist media has been woefully negligent when it comes to Democrat senators who have committed far worse offenses. In part, conservatives have responded by pointing out the bigotted past of former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), who recently used a racial slur on television. There's another Democrat senator out there with a similarly embarassing past, but also one who has recieved much less attention, even among conservatives: Sen. Ernest Hollings (D-SC). Like Byrd, Hollings has a recent history of racial slurs. Less known is his history as governor of South Carolina in the early 1960's, when he was a leading segregationist. To fill this gap here's a glimpse of Senator Hollings' segregationist past and history of racial slurs:
SEGREGATIONIST GOVERNOR: As Governor of South Carolina, Ernest F. Hollings personally led the fight against lunch counter integration in his state. The New York Times reported that Hollings "warned today that South Carolina would not permit 'explosive' manifestations in connection with Negro demands for lunch-counter services." The Times reported that Hollings called a news conference on the subject where he "challenged President Eisenhower's contention that minorities had the right to engage in certain types of demonstrations" against segregation. Hollings told reporters at the press conference that Eisenhower was "confused" and had done "great damage to peace and good order" by supporting the rights of minorities to protest segregation at the lunch counters. (SOURCE: "Warning by Hollings." New York Times, March 17, 1960.)
ANTI-INTIGRATION ORGANIZER: Governor Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina is listed as a leading participant at a July 23, 1961 conference of "leading segregationists" in Atlanta to organize a "segregationist bloc" voting lobby to resist pressures for integration. Hollings was one of four governors who attended, with seven more having been invited. The others were Orval Faubus of Arkansas, Ross Barnett of Mississippi, and John Patterson of Alabama. The strategies discussed at the meeting heavily involved using the White Citizens Council, a segregationist organization. (SOURCE: Sitton, Claude. "Segregation Bloc Seeks Vote Lobby." New York Times, Jul 24, 1961.)
RACIAL SLURS: Senator Ernest Hollings has a long history of using racial slurs. Following a poor showing in the 1983 Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings remarked "You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston," a reference to Alan Cranston who finished second. Hollings also made derogatory references to an African delegation at a 1993 international conference, suggesting they were cannibals. He stated "Everybody likes to go to Geneva. I used to do it for the Law of the Sea conferences and you'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." He once referred to Sen. Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio, who was Jewish, as "the senator from B'nai B'rith." The South Carolina Democrat also allegedly referred to blacks with the slur "darkies" in a 1986 interview and once called the Rainbow PUSH coalition the "blackbo coalition." | | | | Alpha | | Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 5:46 am Post subject: AIPAC Gives Bush Standing Ovations |

AIPAC Gives Bush Standing Ovations
by Matthew E. Berger, Jewish Telegraphic Agency
President Bush knew what he was doing when he took his case for staying the course in Iraq to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). No audience appreciates the president more for sticking to his guns in the Middle East than the pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
Bush received 23 standing ovations Tuesday in his speech to AIPAC, in which he defended his Iraq policy and reiterated his administration’s strong support of Israel. That support won him thunderous ovations throughout the speech, with a smattering of attendees holding up four fingers and shouting, "Four more years!"
While AIPAC’s membership is traditionally Democratic, many AIPAC voters have said they will back Bush in November, because of his stance on Israel.
Bush spent much of his speech defending an Iraq policy buffeted by casualties and scandal. He said he remained committed to defeating insurgents in Iraq and transferring power there to a U.S.-friendly government.
"We will not be intimidated by thugs and assassins," Bush said. "We will win this essential, important victory in the war on terror."
Bush has faced much criticism for the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the failure there to find weapons of mass destruction, which he cited as the primary justification for war, and the violence that has continued to plague Iraq since the end of large-scale hostilities last year. Among many supporters of Israel, however, the war is seen largely as positive, with the ouster of Saddam Hussein considered a boon to Israel’s security.
Bush justified the military action in front of the friendly audience, saying, "Freedom-loving people did not seek this conflict. It has come to us by the choices of violent men, hateful men."
Bush linked the Iraq invasion with the war on terrorism and stability in the Middle East, suggesting that U.S. resolve in Iraq could effect change in Syria and Iran.
"This advance of freedom will bring greater security to America and to the world," he said. "These are historic times. It’s a historic opportunity."
He sounded a similar message when discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Bush alluded to the escalating violence in the Gaza Strip.
"The unfolding violence in the Gaza Strip is troubling and underscores the need for all parties to seize every opportunity for peace," he said.
Bush reiterated his view that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s promised withdrawal from Gaza and parts of the West Bank was a "bold" opportunity for progress and called on all parties to renounce violence, fight terrorism and embrace democracy. He also committed to working with Europe to fight international anti-Semitism and praised AIPAC members for their contribution to the war against terrorism.
"In a dangerous new century, your work is more vital than ever," he said. "I thank you for doing your part in the cause of freedom."
Bush’s presence at the event was noteworthy. In the past, the administration has been careful not to aggravate Arab perceptions of pro-Israel clout in Washington, and this was only Bush’s second speech to a Jewish audience since taking office in January 2001.
But the administration and Bush’s re-election campaign have emphasized his record on Israel in recent months, hoping to galvanize Jewish support in several key states with large Jewish populations, such as Florida, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
Vice President Dick Cheney traveled to South Palm Beach, Fla., last Friday and sent a very similar message to the local Jewish federation there, with American and Israeli flags as his backdrop as well.
Few seemed to mind that Bush used the forum to justify his Iraq policy.
"I think this audience, more than most, is more likely to be supportive of the war in Iraq," said Moe Freedman of Oak Park, Mich.

| Fascists, Communists Unite Against President Bush
By Greg Yardley
FrontPageMagazine.com | May 5, 2003
The pudgy, balding man openly waved his protest sign - "Hands off Iraq - No Blood For Zionism!" Below that bit of anti-Semitism, he'd printed the web address of the National Alliance - the openly neo-Nazi, white-supremacist organization founded by William Pierce. That's right, William Pierce, the author of the Turner Diaries, a novel depicting a post-apocalyptic race war against blacks and Jews. The novel that inspired the Oklahoma City bombing, that killed one hundred and sixty eight people. In most situations, the very presence of such a bigot would draw a crowd of counter-protestors. On Friday, May 2nd, I watched this bigot march alongside young people wearing the t-shirts of Anti-Racist Action. It was a strange day in Santa Clara, California, where the remnants of the broken anti-war protests gathered to protest President Bush's appearance and speech at a nearby manufacturing plant.
Outside of the Bay Area, news outlets didn't mention the May 2nd protest in any great amount of detail, and for good reasons - it was small and irrelevant, and there was something far more important going on. The real news that day was President Bush's address to the employees of United Defense Industries and to the nation, where he spoke about both national security and his plan to grow and support the American economy. But readers of FrontPage Magazine also need to know about the May 2nd protest, both because it grew directly out of the series of anti-war protests that disrupted San Francisco and other American cities in recent months, and because it was so small. Back when much of the left-leaning media was giving International ANSWER a free pass and accepting their claims to be a 'mainstream movement' without criticism, back when left-leaning columnists were making ridiculous claims about quagmires and catastrophes, anti-war protests had more of a draw. Naïve and uninformed people could accidentally wander into ANSWER's orbit, inflating protest numbers and giving people a false idea of their actual support and influence.
Now, thanks to our liberation of Iraq, there's no one left but the die-hards. And it's important to know who those die-hards are. It's time to finally put a stake in the belief that these protests contain a wide cross-section of American society. What I saw were extremists, plain and simple. A few themes stood out: their belief that President Bush is a fascist, their belief that America is a terrorist nation, and their rampant anti-Semitism.
First, the obsession with fascism. Leaving aside the real fascists, who walked openly among them, many in the small crowd took pains to equate President Bush with Adolf Hitler, and the American government with Nazi Germany. One sign formed a swastika out of American flags. Another
read 'USA uber alles'. A third - 'This is how Hitler started.' One particularly crude sign stated "Sieg Heil You Lying F**k - Bush + PNAC = America," except the 'c' in America was replaced with a swastika. A particularly popular sign, mass-produced by International ANSWER and carried by many, made the point for Spanish speakers - "Bush Facista - tu eres el Terrorista."
Now, no matter where you lie on the political spectrum, it's not hard to distinguish President Bush and our government from fascism. To compare the two is either to lie or be deluded. I'm with Dennis Miller on this one. As he joked on the February 25th episode of the Tonight Show, "If you're in a peace march and the guy next to you has a sign that says 'Bush is Hitler,' forget the peace thing for a second and beat his ass."
But that was only one of the ludicrous themes on open display. Another - the bizarre comparison of President Bush with terrorists, and the declaration that Bush is the biggest terrorist of the lot. As the crowd chanted as they set off from their half-occupied parking lot, "The biggest terrorist in the world today - Bush, Cheney, and the CIA." That only lasted a couple of chants, before people switched it to "the biggest terrorist in the world today - Bush, Cheney, and the USA." One woman held up a sign that read "Ashamed to be an American - my president a terrorist!" A few even claimed that President Bush himself planned the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. One man's sign read, in part, "Who Staged 9-11?" Another man proudly held up his sign, which read 'Bush Did It,' showing Bush's face superimposed over the burning twin towers. Several swastikas complete the picture. He spent most of his time standing supportively beside the speakers at the end of the march; no one objected to him in the slightest.
Do these people have any love for their country whatsoever? Unfortunately, we already know the answer, on clear display that morning. One man from the South Bay Mobilization read a fictional resume of President Bush to the protestors, telling them beforehand that 'they were now free to boo and hiss'. As he went through the various charges - 'warmongering killer of children' and so on, ad nauseum - the protestors booed with gusto. That is, except once. Near the end, neglecting Clinton's vast cuts to the American military and intelligence, he tried to pin the blame for 9//11 on Bush, saying that he 'presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.'
Silence. Suddenly, no one booed. The group could criticize Bush for a wide range of manufactured faults, from failure to produce utopia to failure to speak with their preferred accent, but no one could find their voice to criticize the deaths of three thousand people on 9-11. They can wave around signs saying "There's a terrorist behind every Bush," but they can't even muster a peep for mass murder on the streets of New York.
I've been to more of these protests than I can count, but that's the first time I've needed a moment to regain my composure.
The last theme, of course, was anti-Semitism. That's full-time ideology and profession of the National Alliance, which was openly wandering the streets, happily talking with the protestors about Jewish conspiracies. Besides our pudgy, already-mentioned National Alliance supporter, an elderly man with no sign went from person to person, pressing small slips of paper into their hand: "It's All About Israel." A masked, black clad man roamed the crowd with a sign that read "Zionist Puppet" on one side, "No More Wars For Israel" on the other. One gentleman, dressed up like Uncle Sam, had a large sign that read "I want YOU to die for Israel - Israel sings 'Onward Christian Soliders.'" As he mugged for the camera, I noticed the Israeli flag pinned to his jacket, the Star of David replaced by a swastika. Not every anti-Semite was dressed like a loon; there was nothing peculiar-looking about the man who eagerly gave me a two page, tightly-spaced pamphlet on "Zionist Influence on U.S. Foreign Policy," a pamphlet which claimed that "our leaders are controlled by the well organized, powerful, and unrelenting PRO-ISRAEL ZIONIST / NEOCONSERVATIVE movement." The flyer told us about "Zionist power," which included control over ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, UPN, and a host of other news networks and newspapers.
In other words, the Jews control the media. The flyer contained the URLs of several web pages, including one from the National Alliance and two others which blame 9/11 on Israel and 'the Zionists', in collusion with the U.S. government. And don't be fooled - this kind of nonsense wasn't just coming from cranks in the audience. An anonymous activist from the South Bay Mobilization, never identified by his full name, told the crowd that 'neoconservatives' had promised Bush the presidency for life, as long as he followed the polices of Israel. He spoke this through a microphone, as an official rally speaker. Anti-Semites don't just attend these rallies, they speak from the stage.
If I were a Democrat like Joe Liebermann, I might want to ask my fellow candidates, Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich, what their supporters were doing mingling with neo-Nazis, flashing their signs and recruiting for their campaigns?
Of course, the protest was organized by the usual suspects, the communist Workers' World Party-controlled International ANSWER. The marshals for the march wore the same yellow ANSWER vests they wore at the anti-war rallies in San Francisco, the party newspaper, Workers' World, was being distributed, and the signs passed out were all International ANSWER productions. The main and most prominent speaker was long-time Workers' World Party activist Richard Becker, who also spoke at several of the large West Coast anti-war rallies. It was nice to see Becker up close, stripped of the raised stage, expensive sound-system, and lines of ANSWER 'security' - he gave the same speech he gave before, but instead of tens of thousands in downtown San Francisco, it was to a few hundred in a suburban parking lot. His communist line was the same as always - that tomorrow, President Bush would attack his favorite states, North Korea and Cuba; that America was becoming a world-wide empire; that only the 'people's movement,' presumably led by the Workers' World Party, would be able to stop him.
And with that, the people's movement trudged out of the parking lot and along the freeway off-ramps to their target, a barricaded side-street approximately two blocks from where President Bush's motorcade would be passing. The people's movement got lost twice en route - once half the march headed in the completely wrong direction; another time they had to stop and figure out whether to fork left or right. I took advantage of the delay to move to the front of the crowd, so I could count the protestors as they passed. The organizers claimed a thousand, but there were between five and six hundred, tops.
It was a lonely march - the police had cleared the streets of traffic so this small group of protestors could pass. It's almost a shame they didn't mix more freely with traffic, because that would have given them more evidence of their marginality. Just while crossing the street on the way to the protest with a knot of sign-carrying protestors, a passing motorist yelled 'Traitor!' Another yelled 'Get a job!' A man bearing a sign encouraging passers-by to honk their support was largely met with silence. This in the Bay Area, supposedly the bastion of leftism. One of the protestors, stung by the criticism, muttered 'They're always so concerned about free speech, except when it's against them.' The vast expense and inconvenience incurred to accommodate this small crowd's right to free speech, paid for with the taxes of the passing motorists, was of no concern to him.
Not perturbed by fascists, anti-Semites, or communists, at the end of their march the anti-Bush marchers finally encountered something that made them angry - the American flag. A few hundred patriotic Americans had gathered to wave to Bush's motorcade, bringing flags and banners with them. The anti-Bush crowd began to shout obscenities; from what I could see, the people who loved America bore this patiently, tolerating even the communists' right to free speech. After spending so much time among the irrational, it was refreshing to see the signs of the people who had turned out to support Bush: "Bravo, Mr. President," "The Right Man at The Right Time," "American Soldiers: The Sword of Liberty," and, most poignantly, the simple phrase: "Never Forget."
The anti-Bush protest on May 2nd illustrated something that Americans must not forget - the leaders, organizers, and core supporters of these demonstrations, whether anti-Bush, anti-war, or anti-globalization, are not in any sense part of the mainstream of American opinion. When supporters of our government pointed out the kooks at past marches, leftists claimed that they were just a small fraction of the crowd. This time, the extremists were the clear majority - both the majority of speakers and the majority of marchers. No one can make this claim again.
The anti-Bush protest also illustrated something else - the momentum of all that anti-war organizing is over, and the organizers have nothing to show for it. A personal appearance of the president in the Bay Area, purportedly the most liberal area of the country, and they couldn't muster a thousand protestors. While there's still a few tiny protests in the future, and a conference or two for those duped into joining organizations they'd be better off avoiding, the organizers' pretensions to relevancy have been crushed once again. They'll hide, for now, only to re-emerge at the next big opportunity for protesting - the 2004 presidential election. We can expect the same antics from the same people as we head towards the national conventions of both political parties and the general election that follows it. When they show their heads again, remember who they are, and what they stand for. | | | | Alpha | | Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 6:30 am Post subject: Where is George Washington When We Need Him? |

A few hundred patriotic Americans had gathered to wave to Bush's motorcade, bringing flags and banners with them. The anti-Bush crowd began to shout obscenities; from what I could see, the people who loved America bore this patiently, tolerating even the communists' right to free speech. After spending so much time among the irrational, it was refreshing to see the signs of the people who had turned out to support Bush: "Bravo, Mr. President," "The Right Man at The Right Time," "American Soldiers: The Sword of Liberty," and, most poignantly, the simple phrase: "Never Forget."
The anti-Bush protest on May 2nd illustrated something that Americans must not forget - the leaders, organizers, and core supporters of these demonstrations, whether anti-Bush, anti-war, or anti-globalization, are not in any sense part of the mainstream of American opinion. When supporters of our government pointed out the kooks at past marches, leftists claimed that they were just a small fraction of the crowd. This time, the extremists were the clear majority - both the majority of speakers and the majority of marchers. No one can make this claim again.
The anti-Bush protest also illustrated something else - the momentum of all that anti-war organizing is over, and the organizers have nothing to show for it. A personal appearance of the president in the Bay Area, purportedly the most liberal area of the country, and they couldn't muster a thousand protestors. While there's still a few tiny protests in the future, and a conference or two for those duped into joining organizations they'd be better off avoiding, the organizers' pretensions to relevancy have been crushed once again. They'll hide, for now, only to re-emerge at the next big opportunity for protesting - the 2004 presidential election. We can expect the same antics from the same people as we head towards the national conventions of both political parties and the general election that follows it. When they show their heads again, remember who they are, and what they stand for. | | | | | Alpha | | Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 8:50 am Post subject: Zionist Occupied (US Congress) Government - ZOG |
| Perhaps Hollings has finally woken up to the fact that the USA is going into the tank for its support of Israel... I saw Congressman Joe Wilson on C-SPAN ( www.c-span.org ) earlier tonight, and he looks like a Jew.. If he isn't, then he is an AIPAC (pro-Israel) lobby hack, and/or he is pandering to the evangelical (whacko) Christian (Israel first for 'rapture') voter base in his southern state of South Carolina.. Wilson being a member of the 'House Israel Caucus' says it all as the traitorous bastard should be serving in the Israeli Knesset instead...
The Zionist Cowboy fails to mention that Bin Laden warned US in 1998 that the USA would be attacked (on US soil) if the Zionist occupied US government continued to support Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians with the BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars (see the link at the upper left of www.wrmea.com) when US states, Social Security and Medicare are going broke (see Bin Laden's warning via the following URL, but the 'protect Israel first' US press/media did not convey this warning to Americans to the extent that it should have):

Even former Republican Congressman Paul Findley (an American patriot) mentions in the third edition of his 'They Dare to Speak Out' book that the vast US taxpayer financial support of Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinian people contributed to the tragic 9/11 attack.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-SC made the following statement in response to remarks made by Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-SC, on the Senate Floor yesterday. Sen. Hollings made the remarks before voting against passage of S. Amdt. 3389, a resolution saying that the United States and Israel were "engaged in a common struggle against terrorism," and condemned Palestinian suicide bombings. Sen. Hollings and Sen. Robert Byrd, D-WV, were the only two votes against passage of the resolution.
"Once again, Senator Hollings proves he is out of touch with South Carolina and the nation," said Rep. Wilson. "He compares Ariel Sharon, our ally and Israel's democratically elected leader, with Saddam Hussein, an evil and brutal dictator. This type of logic is out of step with the overwhelming majority of Americans," said Rep. Wilson.
"Hollings also called Ariel Sharon 'the Bull Conner of Israel,' and for those who remember, Bull Conner was the Police Commissioner of Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 who unleashed attack-dogs and fire hoses on the peaceful civil-rights protestors, the movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It seems to me that the Senator is comparing Arafat to Dr. King, and comparing the evil suicide-bombings being carried out by Palestinian terrorists to the peaceful protests of the civil-rights movement. This is beyond ridiculous, it is cruel and malicious."
"And before voting against a bill only Sen. Byrd joined with him dissent, Hollings called the measure 'simplistic and one-sided'. On that point, he is correct. The moral clarity of the U.S. is simple; we are against terrorism. And this is a one-sided issue; Israel is our ally and the only democracy in the Middle East. We stand with Israel."
"Israel is up against terrorists who practice a culture of death, where parents raise their children to take joy in murdering innocent women and children by strapping explosives to their bodies to bomb supermarkets. In response, Hollings urges us to 'listen awhile, set this aside, and move on.' I ask the Senator, how many more children must die before Israelis gain the right to defend themselves?" said Rep. Wilson.
Rep. Wilson voted in favor of a similar resolution in support of Israel in the House of Representatives, H.R. 392, as did the rest of the South Carolina delegation. Rep. Wilson is a member of the House Israel Caucus, and the first of the current South Carolina delegation to join. | | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
