Al Qaeda is causing the CA wildfires. (Fox Noobs)

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/24/fox-news-al-qaeda-is-causing-the-ca-wildires/

Looks like Al Qaeda in Iran must have done this Time to attack Iran

 

That is frigging mind blowing haha wow.. i just dont know what to say... and if the republicans who are trying to spin this want it beleived bad enough all they have to do is pay the guy they have in custody to admit he was with Al Qaeda... justification for war

 

Yo!! Moma's yet another evil Fox Paranoia?

Where did actually Fox suggest that the fire was started by Al Qaeda. Sorry but I failed to see it. They only mentioned an FBI memo that suggested that AQ may start wild fire, The memo that was published in Arizona Republic.

Only think progress and it's readers (apparently with no thinking progress) are claiming that mentioning an FBI memo with the regards of fire, where a police man saw someone starting the fire, is as equal to stating Al Qaeda did it..

Please keep the crap over think progress site, give us a break (As a Humble request) and get over the evil Fox paranoia.

 

They are talking about the FBI having someone in custody and asking him if he is with Al Qaeda... they make sure to mention at the end that most of the fires are of a "Suspicious Nature" and they are "Investigating arson"... I think they are going to great lenghts to impl al qaeda without coming right out and saying it and there doing a damn good job.

 

Obviously most of the 'wild fires' are of a suspicious nature and need investigation. Its nothing new. They always try to find the clues to learn about what actually started the fire.

Again stating an FBI memo, that is related to wild fire and that AQ can try and ignite wild fire is not equal to stating that AQ actually did it.
You agree or disagree?

 

I agree... but I think they picked an aweful terrible time to bring up this memo... I think MOST people who watched that news story would walk away thinking that the FBI actually thinks Al Aqeada is behind the fires. They could have brought this memo up at anytime, but to bring it up in the same news story where it is being questioned how some fires were started is an absolute ploy to try and associate Al Qaeda and get Al Qaeda into peoples minds when they think about the fires.

 

I think it's a great time, if they have made similar threats in the past then theres no reason as unlikely as it is to rule them out as suspects.

 

SO you think Fox's goal of mentioning Al Qaeda's threat to start wildfires during a story talking about wldfires that are presummed to be arson and "suspicious" was their way of rullling out Al Aqeada and telling the world Al Qaeda is absolutely not a suspect?

Well that maes sense

 

I never said such. AQ should not be ruled out neither should anyone else until the person(s) who caused it are caught.

 

If you read the transcript, You will notice that it's not 'they' who brought up this memo at awful terrible time. It's 'Arizona Republic' news paper that published the story some 3-5 days back.. Fox taken the reference from Arizona Republic.

But yeah.. everyone is free to ride the 'Yo! Mama's evil fox paranoia' ride

 

I was wondering how long it would be before al-CIAda got mentioned.

 

The Arizona Republic story is 4 years old. Fox sucks.

 

Regardless of where the original connection came from... Fox for some reason I will never udnerstand has a lot of viewers and huge following... they knew full right by doing that story the way they did a lot of people would be lead to beleive Al Qaeda is behind the California fires. I have even done a test with 10 different people now asking them what they think the report is trying to say, and they all answered the same thing:

"It sounds like there trying to blame the fires on Al Qaeda"

I rest my case.

 

It's not hard to understand why Fox has a large following. Most people aren't far left wing so they tire of the left wing outlets(CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, etc) and are refreshed by an alternative. To Fox's credit they also include the opposing view in most discussions, you don't see this to the same extent in the left wing media outlets. Fox doesn't deny being non-left wing.

Regarding the fires, I live between the Santiago and Pendleton fires and have lived here since we faced the Laguna and Ortega fire. There is a hgue difference this time in that there was maybe one other fire during the 1993 fires by me, this time there are more than 20 signficant fires. Arson, it's worth investigating but I don't think it's an Al Quida led effort, it would have been much worse since it's so easy to pull off.

 

Why would you want to rule out AQ? Are you their spokesman?

Some of the fires are suspicious and AQ has threatened water supplies, utilities, computer networks, biological attacks and FIRES.

I don't watch FOX but I thank them for bringing the point to the public. It is simply a possibility, why rule them out off the top?

Good for FOX.

 

ahaha, LMAO Thats probably Bush TV, not fox. Is he really that stupid to think that it will still work? It might actually.....I dunno how many americans will believe it.

 

Leave it to liberals pretending to be republicans to vote for a libertarian with a liberal foreign policy to create dishonest posts.

Proving once again, you just can't take RP supporters for their word.

BTW, RP said Fox News was great!

 

Actually, Ben Laden should've told to the world that he did it It would be a win win situation for both, Ben & Bush ))) One would feel himself The Almighty, the other one would say thank you to him.

 

Actually, the Arizona Republic story is 4 years old, it details a plan to start western fires SIMULTANEOUSLY in states other than CA.

The guy who wrote the article doesn't even work at the AZ Republic anymore, that is how dated this information was.

Of course, Fox has no conscience when it comes to accurately reporting the news. That's why they employ idiots like Bill O'Reilly who tell guests that he isn't interested in history. Maybe that is why he once said that Americans mass murdered unarmed Nazis at gunpoint, when we know it was the other way around.

 

I've never met a "troofer" that didn't like Fox news. Most real Conservatives like it, though. Even ron paul likes Fox.
