[lbo-talk] Double Standard: Israel and Saudi Arabia

[snit snat]

Not my experience at all! For one thing, here in Tampa, we've already had 
plenty of reporting on the Bin Laden brothers that were allowed to fly out 
shortly afterward. They were known to have been involved in funding al q. 
(see Tampa Trib covereage). No one had a hard time figuring out that it 
wasn't a grand conspiracy.

It should be criticized, the film. But doing so in orde to discredit Moore 
as a closet Democrat and racist is not exactly the best way to criticize a 
film. It is a way to USE the film to bludgeon other leftists.
