It isn't working...

FH Mon, May 31, 2004 1:17:53pm

Ooh, it is a popup.

FH Mon, May 31, 2004 1:20:27pm

Lots of commercials...

csva Mon, May 31, 2004 1:21:51pm

I love radical plumber jokes. Opps, that was just a commercial.
viva la capitalism.

Sorry to make you search for that Charles...

WriterMom Mon, May 31, 2004 1:38:18pm

ULULULULULULU...I got him!

The first link didn't work, second one did. Love him!

Earl Mon, May 31, 2004 1:42:15pm

A waste of time, what with all of the commercials. Just cheapens the guest's comments and interrupts his narrrative. I'd rather read his columns.

Geepers Mon, May 31, 2004 1:45:39pm

Earl (#8),

Radio stations are in business to make money. You wouldn't be able to hear any of what he has to say otherwise.

Goldenwebb Mon, May 31, 2004 1:45:41pm

There's an interesting Daniel Pipes article in today's Australian:

Support the lesser evil

J.D. Mon, May 31, 2004 1:56:59pm

Did he say Islam is parasitic?

Geepers Mon, May 31, 2004 1:59:16pm

"Islam is parasitic"

"Islam is antithetic to Christianity. They felt force and violence can be used to spread religion"

Colt Mon, May 31, 2004 1:59:36pm

Damn. Going to have to call it a night before the Crusades and Byzantium.

Could someone tell me who wins? :-)

WriterMom Mon, May 31, 2004 2:03:37pm

You better believe he said it was parasitic, but I believe the reference was to the proliferation of Islam as Christinanity was having it's own internal strife with the east/west divide.

VDH is a GOLDEN GOD!!

When you have time, there is a good summary of the Saudi response to the attacks on the compounds:

Alphabet City

The Saudis not only bungled the commando operation they also bungled the media operation. And are continuing to do so.

They are sticking to the story of only 4 terrorists holding all those folks hostage. And 3 got away.

Ann Mon, May 31, 2004 2:14:20pm

Holistic approach...

[Engineer] Mon, May 31, 2004 2:18:43pm

Western Europe saved 90% of cassical texts, Islam 10% - I didn't know that.

Egypt tells Arafat: Reform or be removed

According to a report Monday in the pan-Arab Al-Quds-al-Arabi, Suleiman handed Arafat three demands:
First, to unite all the Palestinian security forces under one command authority, and into three components. These include the police, the Preventative Security Service (equivalent of Israel's General Security Service), and the Palestinian foreign security service (equivalent of Israel's Mossad).

Secondly, give PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei complete authority to conduct negotiations with Israel over Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan.

Thirdly, stand aside and accept a symbolic position and let others lead the Palestinian Authority.

Where have I heard this before?

Arafat was given a deadline of June 15 to give a decisive reply with regards to the suggestion or else his future will be "left in the hands of Ariel Sharon."

... the PA chairman told him he intends to refuse the Egyptian demands, because their implementation means the end of his de facto leadership and his reduction to a purely symbolic figure, wrote al-Quds al-Arabi.

So...I'm guessing Arafat will be "removed" on June 16th.

Dom Mon, May 31, 2004 3:10:45pm

Orbit Rain (#21),

I think if Sharon doesn't plan to do that he could also use this opportunity in numerous ways for a show of public diplomacy with formal non-recognition of Arafat's status in conjunction.

If Suleiman doesn't perform backflips in the meantime.

the PA chairman told him he intends to refuse the Egyptian demands, because their implementation means the end of his de facto leadership

LOL. Funny guy Callous scum.

[Engineer] Mon, May 31, 2004 3:26:39pm

Well, VDH is laying on Islam big time.

Ann Mon, May 31, 2004 3:28:08pm

Is anyone else listening to this?

Darleen Mon, May 31, 2004 3:31:07pm

#24 Ann

[Engineer] Mon, May 31, 2004 3:32:06pm

#24 Ann

Is anyone else listening to this?

I assume they are, almost no one is posting.

Darleen Mon, May 31, 2004 3:34:07pm

LOL...OT, but I'm surfing while waiting during the commericals... Please go see these pics at Glenn Reynold's place!

Sorry. Sush me. Thanks

Darleen Mon, May 31, 2004 3:40:15pm

VDH.. "everyone should take a deep breath and look at Fallujah and Naja, then look at Vietnam in 1975..."

millions of boat people, executed people, people herded into "re-education" camps...

wow

heheheh... VDH is a registered Democrat but will not vote Democratic ...

Geepers Mon, May 31, 2004 3:45:43pm

Ann, of course we're listening. VDH can cut right through the media BS and tell it like it is.

[Engineer] Mon, May 31, 2004 3:46:32pm

#28 Ann

Sorry. Sush me. Thanks

Didn't mean it that way.

Ann Mon, May 31, 2004 3:50:03pm

Israel created a humane society, and that angers arabs.
GD funny is that statement...

No offense taken, Bud. Oh me of little faith.

Skippy Mon, May 31, 2004 4:00:11pm

OK, is anyone else out there ready to draft VDH into the Presidential race?

Ann Mon, May 31, 2004 4:04:51pm

Skippy, you need to talk to him about that before we...

[Engineer] Mon, May 31, 2004 4:10:54pm

I hope that a lot of non-LGF type people were listening tonight. One the few times I have wished I still worked in broadcasting so I could find out what his audience was.

Darleen Mon, May 31, 2004 4:18:08pm

Skippy

Hell, can we just get VDH for GW's new Sec of State?

Wouldn't that knot a few keffiyehs!

Dom Mon, May 31, 2004 4:33:33pm

#37 Darleen, if it follows the lead ofthe British election expect Muslims to vote fringe. The stupid thing is the party to benefit most from all this tactical fringe voting is the fascist BNP. Brits, vote and vote Tory or Labour.

Ann Mon, May 31, 2004 4:34:12pm

Can we get a transcript? Video?

He covered the history of Western Civilization in just a short time.
