    I watch Fox News and I like Glenn Beck and Glenn Beck nor any other commentator has ever tried to inflict violence on a Muslim who was not a radical. In matter of fact, a week or two ago Glenn Beck had Muslim minsters on his program. And, you want to know why Americans are outraged about Muslims is because the USS Cole, September 11, Christmas Day Bombing and the Shoe bomber were all Muslims and attempt or did kill thousands of Americans. These Americans were innocent too. It was not until these actions occurred that we took action to hunt down every single piece of garbage no matter what country they are from or who they are aligned with so that another innocent American does not get killed.

    You want to know the biggest reason why people leave commentators alone is because they use peaceful means to change the world instead of violent protests, burning crap or trying to frame people for stuff they didn't do.

    I was only wondering when you will bring the Muslim angel.. Sooner than what I thought...

    You started with Steve Jobs, but now you are throwing names right and left..
    What's you freaking point? That we should all stop right here, and start worshiping every black man out there? That's what you want?

    Here is the video of the comment he must be talking about. I'd never heard about it, but after listening, I think this statement, "Bill O'Reilly said he wishes to lynch Obama's wife" is not very accurate if you understand English.

    And yes, Steve Jobs biological father was Syrian. The couple surrendered Mr. Jobs for adoption after he was born in San Francisco in 1955

    so you don't believe in operation false flag?

    i am not a person who is uber-religious in thought but i feel that is bullying to regard all muslims as wanting to bomb and terrorise.

    and you do know, some regard Americans as biggest terrorists of all time for hiroshima/nagasaki right?

    Unfortunately, i can't listen to anything while I'm at work so this will have to wait a few hours. I wondered how accurate that statement could have been anyway... telling all of America that you want to lynch the President's wife would have probably caused a heavy uproar... i don't see that as something being brushed off like it was nothing.

    You know, i'm going to have to take your side on THIS issue... although we have moved FAR way from the initial argument. I believe the media IS brainwashing us into believing certain things so the government can justify this war. They SAY it is all in an effort to fight terrorists... but it's all about OIL.

    Not very accurate? that's a total misinterpretation..

    I don't know how "I don't wanna go on Lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there is a hard fact that she she thinks America is a flawed nation" equates to "I wish I could Lynch Michelle Obama"..
    It's just race baiting... And thats what OP is doing in this thread.. Race bait trolling.


    Yes, some America hating, terrorism loving 'peaceful' people say so.. Are you one of them?

    so you guys are saying the rappers are wrong about fox news and much social issues of America?

    i feel pleased that steve jobs is being universally respected for his achievements, but i feel that fred hampton; george jackson and those guys should be given equally praising public. This is all i want guys.

    People respect who they *really* want to respect.. An old saying goes like - "You earn respect, you don't demand it".

    No-one is asking YOU to respect anyone, you respect Fred Hampton, fine.. Why should I respect him? He hasn't done anything for me..

    PS: And half of Chicago is painted with his name.. Should we all worship him everyday of our remaining lives?

    Dudeeee. Lets stay on one topic, yeah? Lets review our points once more, shall we?

    1. Steve Jobs cannot be compared to Fred Hampton and so on. They are innovators in completely different ways.
    2. When people like Malcolm X died, there wasn't HALF the amount of media coverage because we have WAY more media outlets now than we did back then. But trust me, his death WAS a big deal.
    3. IF Steve Jobs had been black and had dropped dead two days ago, he would have gotten SOO much coverage. Think about it.. not only would he have been this great inventor.. but he would have been black on top of that. If that isn't a reason for people to get all riled up, than i dont know what is.

    Ohh and...

    4. The world is a technology junkie haven. Everyone loves Apple.. everyone buys Apple products... of course everyone is going to care when Steve Jobs dies. He is a huge part of Apple.

    I absolutely hate Apple, I never bought a single Apple product, nor I ever will (Most probably)..

    I cared about Steve Jobs not because of Apple, but because he was a great visionary, kickass CEO and a man that you can learn a lot from..

    Lol. Well, maybe i jumped the gun by saying everyone. I didnt mean for that to be taken literally. I suppose what i meant to say is that Apple is a big part of our culture. People are affected by things that are big within their culture. If that makes sense...

    If that's the way you want to play it, then give CNN, MSNBC, CBS, PBS, ABC, and others their fair shake ;)

    What are you talking about? Martin Luther King Jr. has a holiday and was mourned and talked about upon his death. To this day, there are still commercials on tv with part of his speech. Malcolm X was crazy and in shady business while King was not. It's not as much a racial issue as you make it out to be.
