Apology Tour Failing

How's that kissing-up to the Muslim world working out for you, Mr. President? A whopping 4% of Pakistanis look favorably on the United States.

All the butt-kissing in the world will not change their minds. We are infidels, and that in itself makes us the enemy. Oh, they have no problem in accepting financial aid from us, but they still despise us.

Read from Gateway Pundit:

Change… Only 4% of Pakistanis Speak Well of America

"Well, this is comforting…
Only 4% of Pakistanis speak well of America.
Dawn reported:


'Ideas considered extreme a decade ago are now mainstream. A private survey carried out by a European embassy based in Islamabad found that only four per cent of Pakistanis polled speak well of America; 96 per cent against.

Although Pakistan and the US are formal allies, in the public perception the US has ousted India as Pakistan’s number one enemy. Remarkably, anti-US sentiment rises in proportion to aid received. Say a good word about the US, and you are labelled as its agent. From what TV anchors had to say about it, Kerry-Lugar’s $7.5bn may well have been money that the US wants to steal from Pakistan rather than give to it.

Pakistan is not the only country where America is unpopular. In pursuit of its self-interest, the US has waged illegal wars, bribed, bullied and overthrown governments, supported tyrants and undermined movements for progressive change. Paradoxically America is disliked more in Pakistan than in countries which have born the direct brunt of its attacks — Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan
.'


And just think… It was only a few months ago that Hillary Clinton said the US was turning the page with Pakistan."

Aren't you curious at all as to WHY 96% of Pakistanis speak against America?

Aren't you curious at all as to WHEN 96% of Pakistanis began to speak against America?

Aren't you curious at all about ANY poll that classifies everyone polled as eitheer "for" or "against", with no "undecided" or "no opinion"?

Statistics without background are meaningless, Ms. ML. Well, let me qualify that: statistics without background are meaningless if your intent is to learn something about a topic. Statistics without background can be very useful if all you want to do is support your otherwise unsupportable assertions.

What would be your talking point if statistics showed that Pakistani support for America had actually doubled in the first year of Obama's administration?

You'e a farce, Ms. ML, you and your mindless rightwingnut clones. You'll swallow anything propounded by the rightwingnut blogosphere without any sort of critical thinking of your own. And you'll actually have the nerve to accuse Obama supporters of being Kool-Aid drinkers!

I pity your children, being home-skooled by a woman who cannot think for herself.
