> [@](#): > > Was it unbaptized Christian baby blood? [nitpick] Before they are baptized, babies are pagans. They are either baptized/Christian or unbaptized/non-Christian. Before they are baptized, you have to worry about the little people switching them as changelings, not imaginary Jewish sacrifices. (PLease. let’s not confuse our folk tales and boogeymen.)

A lot of gags here, but this is pretty sad. Mahathir got a standing ovation for this speech from the delegates at this conference. He said what many people think, just like when he said there was an American conspiracy to keep Asian nations poor. Also of note is that the European Union failed to condemn the speech because Jaques Chirac blocked the measure. That should go a long way to alleviate the perception that France coddles anti-Semites. Silvio Berlusconi condemned Mahathir’s statements after Chirac’s actions. It’s pretty sad when Berlusconi becomes the voice of reason. ---

Yeah, what got my goat was the line, " . . .\*\* it got a standing ovation from the kings, presidents, sheiks and emirs—including key U.S. allies—gathered in Malaysia’s capital, Putrajaya\*\*." ---

Since when is Putrajaya the capital of Malaysia? Isn’t it Kuala Lumpur? Or am I not being told something? ---

I can say for a fact that we do not control Dallas. The Chinese food sucks there. As far as the stuff that **Shayna** quoted, I thought that the notion that violence in the media was harmful to children was a liberal concept. I agree with **Daniel** , that in context the statement doesn’t seem to be hate filled ignorance. Now, what Mohamad said is a completely different story but I guess that the easiest way to get on the good side of a bunch of Muslims is to do some Jew bashing. ---

The only things those ignoramouses at that conference need to add is the “heil hitler” sign, while clicking their sandals together. They should get david icke as their guest speaker next time for their yearly hate conference. And one wonders why practically the whole muslim world is living in the dark ages, and muslim countries are getting invaded left & right. (more to come, I’m sure) The malaysian retard was correct on one point though: They should use their brains more and think. Damn those jews for inventing “human rights”. 😃 ---

I say the same thing about the Evil Liberal Media Conspiracy™, myself. If there _really_ was an ELMC, all the lies and bullstuff about Saddam’s 500,000 tons of WMDs would have been revealed (in breathless 200-point “exclusive investigative report” headlines, no less) back in January… ---

Moving the national administrative machinery from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya is in line with the Government’s policy to provide a more balanced development away from Kuala Lumpur. It is a decision motivated by life in Kuala Lumpur and ensure continued growth in the Klang Valley. ---
